John Michael Findlay
1959-2019
It is with profound sadness that the
family of John Michael Findlay of
Chignecto NS, share with you news of his death on June, 29,2019, at
age 60. John was the son of the late Joseph Findlay and Marylou
Kingan.
He worked as a custodian in various
Cumberland County elementary schools and with NSCC Cumberland Campus
for 30 years. John took pride in his work and was affectionately known
to many as “Mr.Friendly”. He had a strong respect for the
preservation of our environment and was happiest when he was outdoors,
snowmobiling, atving, fishing and gardening. He was a private person
with a kind heart, a wonderful sense of humor and loved animals,
especially his three dogs, Sabastian, Sundae and Lighting
McQueen.
John is survived by his wife of 35
years, Ferne (Thompson). In addition to his mother, Marylou he is also
survived by his brother Ron (April) and sister, Nadine; nephews Tim
(Stacy) and Josh (Amanda); nieces Kandace (Michael) and Kamryn
(Andrew); six grand nieces and nephews; his little buddy Lightning
McQueen; and many wonderful friends.
He was predeceased by his father, Joseph
Findlay and his father and mother-in-law, Seldon and Wilma
Thompson.
Arrangements are under the care and
guidance of A.H. Brown Funeral Home, 5
McFarlane St. Springhill, NS (902-597-2361) . In keeping with John’s
wishes, there will be a private family committal service and a
Celebration of Life will be held at a later
date.
John fought a long hard battle with
cancer and would be honored to know that those who wish to make
memorial donations in his memory would do so to the Canadian Cancer
Society or the Canadian Diabetes Association. We are grateful to those
who cared for John during his illness, and for the friendships made.
Appreciation is extended to VON Cumberland, the awesome nursing staff
at All Saints Hospital in Springhill and the doctors, nurses and admin
staff of the 4200 Oncology Unit at Moncton City Hospital.. A star in
the sky has been named after him so he will always be watching over
those he loved.
