In 1948 he moved to Brantford where he worked for Masseys before being hired by the City of Brantford in the Works Department where he worked from 1959 until 1985 when he retired. He did volunteer work at the Beckett Building for the dances and later he enjoyed the fellowship and wonderful lunches. John very much loved his Monday evenings when he went every week to the Moose Lodge for the Euchre party and was very sad when he was no longer able to attend. The family would like to thank Helene, Ko and the staff Parkview Retirement Home for the understanding care they gave to John during his time spent there. He greatly enjoyed his fourth floor room and the view of the city. Arrangements have been entrusted to the HILL and ROBINSON FUNERAL HOME and CREMATION CENTRE, 30 Nelson Street, 519-752-2543. A Private family burial will take place at a later date.
