Sgt John Joseph « JJ » Howe, CD (Ret’d)
served with the Canadian Guards which disbanded into the 3RCR of the
Canadian Armed Forces from 1963-1981. His professionalism, dedication
and discipline along with his great mentorship towards young soldiers
and his many peers never went unnoticed. He carried these attributes
with him on his next chapter of his career as the fire inspector at
the Argentia Naval Base.
John was known for his love of music while spending many
nights at his camper surrounded by family and friends. Nothing made
him happier then having everyone gathered around for a potluck and a
dance.
Visitation will take place at Maher’s Funeral Home in
Placentia on Monday, December 13th from 12-9pm with further details of
service and burial to follow.
John, may you continue to be the sharpest dressed man, with
the shiniest shoes, that could make the accordion play like no other.
May you and Kirkie make the heavens sing…
Any donations can be made to the poppy fund for the Legion,
Branch 33.
