John cherished his family, extended family and his friends. Always there to lend a hand ,whether asked for help or not. He loved life, dancing, fishing, hunting, country music, Toronto Maple Leafs, Blue Jays, going to the camp and having a few games of cards and as he was known to say, having a few *wets*. He loved working in his garden John loved life, his family and his friends unconditionally.
