It is with heavy hearts that the family of John Tilley announce his sudden passing, in his home Sunday, August 11th, 2024 at the age of 79.
Predeceased by his parents, Max and Dorcus Tilley; first wife, Patricia Tilley; siblings, Art Tilley, Betty Baker, George Tilley, and Monica Rose Tilley.
Left with fond and loving memories are his wife, Greta Tilley; siblings, Bud Tilley, Jill Williams, Dorothy (Nell) Tilley, Robert Tilley, Anne Tilley Higham; and a large circle of family and friends.
John left Elliston as a teenager and travelled across the country by train to look for work. John settled in Hamilton, ON where he lived with his first wife Theresa and enjoyed a long career with John Deer. John moved home to NL in 2003 and he met Greta in Elliston at the Puffin Festival. They married in 2016.
John cherished his morning coffee and conversation with friends at the Cafe. He also enjoyed tormenting his buddies if their hockey team lost the night before. John loved the Toronto Maple Leafs. Whether it was a friendly game of Rummoli or playing Poker with family and friends, he relished these moments of connection and fun. Many cherished memories were made around the game table.
John and Greta always spent much of their day together, enjoying each other’s company. Shortly after getting together, they spent many days travelling throughout the province, while stopping to have plenty of cook-ups on their Coleman stove. They thoroughly enjoyed going for a daily drive through Bonavista and Elliston, watching the NHL games on TV, or a movie when the Toronto Maple Leafs weren’t playing.
In keeping with John’s wishes, cremation has taken place and Inurnment is scheduled for Saturday, August 17th, 2024 2:00pm at the United Church Cemetery in Elliston. Family and friends are welcome to attend.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
His memory will forever be a part of our lives, and he will be deeply missed.
