John brought his wife and daughters to Canada in 1966, and after the birth of his son settled in London, Ontario where John succeeded as Processing Designer for Labatt Canada.

From: DEREK PATERSON AND FAMILY
Relation: UNCLE
When I think of Uncle John, I always remember a happy gentleman who made time for me (and everyone else) and always had an interesting story to tell. He was a man who knew something about everything! He always went out of his way for you and I was especially grateful given my mum and dad couldn’t, that he attended my wedding a couple of years ago which was a great honour. I also remember when he stayed with me following my mum’s passing during which he even taught me how to iron shirts! I just wish I could return some of the generosity he has shown me over the years especially during the various visits with Gran to Canada. A great man who will be missed dearly.

Relation: Friends from Ontario
We have so many wonderful memories – especially of the many Burns suppers and “Cavalcade” back here in London, Ontario. We will always remember how dashing John looked dressed in his kilt. When remembering the many fun times, it seems so vivid, as if it was yesterday. Those wonderful memories bring smiles and laughter – we pray they do the same for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Doreen, Sondra, Jackie, and Ann-Marie

It was a shock to hear of Jock’s passing. He and I worked together for 21 years at Labatts and I always enjoyed working on a project with him. I’m sure he will be greatly missed by his family. Again, my sympathy.
P.S.- His obituary appeared in the London Free Press today, 14 June.
