John enjoyed his thirty plus year career with Air Canada. In his later years with the airline, John was responsible for transporting animals all over the world. This included horses to the Olympics and a whale to the Tokyo Zoo. Following his retirement John continued his travel adventures to every Canadian province and US state in his beloved camper van. John also volunteered with various agencies including the Red Cross, The Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills and each winter at the Foley Railroad Museum in Alabama.
Thank you to the oncology team at Credit Valley Hospital and the PSWs and nursing staff from Acclaim Health who cared for John as if he was family.
