John was very active in the parish of Christ the King, caretaking and serving and was a long time member of the Knights of Columbus. He also greatly enjoyed fishing and puttering in his garden.

An end of an era. “Jesus”s drive in” was a land mark no less of stature to McIntyre bluff. Mr Jesus raised the most awesome kids. He’s beaming from ear to ear looking down on the family who did all they could to keep him at home. May he rest in peace.
