John Joseph Boyle
1953-2018
Surrounded by the love of his family,
John Joseph Boyle passed away at the age
of 64 on January 8, 2018. John was a wonderful husband to
Juanita – the love of his life – and an amazing
Dad to his two boys, Jacob and Joel. His brave fight for life, his
sense of humour, and the true goodness in his soul were evident until
the end.
In addition to his wife and sons, he
will be sadly missed by his mother, Doris, his brothers, Michael
(Glenda), Willie (Ruth), his sister, Marcella Andres (Blair), his
sister in-law Sue Hunter (Ross), mother-in-law Josie Stevens, and all
his special nieces and nephews. John will also be missed by his dear
friends.
John worked as a CPA for the County of
Cumberland. He spent his days balancing accounts; however, his home
life and family were what was the most important to him. He enjoyed
his bowling leagues and teaching Sunday school, as well as the many
activities his children took part in over the years.
John was predeceased by his father,
Ambrose, and father in-law, Philip Stevens, who were waiting with open
arms to greet him.
Arrangements have been entrusted to
Furlong~Jones Funeral Home, 70 Church
St., where visitation will take place on
Thursday, January 11 from 6 to 8 pm. The funeral mass for
John will take place at Holy Family Parish, Amherst on Friday, January
12, 2018 at 11 am.
A special thank you to all of our
family, friends, and the community for the support we received on
John’s journey. Our gratitude is also extended to Dr.
