Passed away in his 95th year on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, at Muskoka Shores Care Community, after a decline in health over the last year.

John was predeceased by his siblings Martha Jane Watson (Harry), Norma McKenzie (Gordon), Flora Crockford (Russell), Wilbert “Pat” Gallaugher and Earl Gallaugher. Survived by his sisters-in-law Beth Gallaugher and Shirley Gallaugher as well as many nieces and nephews.
