McCann, John Beverly
October 21st, 2021
McCann, John Beverly – Peacefully passed away at University Hospital on Thursday, October 21, 2021, at the age of 88. Son of the late Harold and Florence McCann and devoted husband of 67 years to Betty McCann (nee McBurney). Loving father to Karen (Mark) Smith, Cindy (Greg) Patterson, Barb McCann, and Sandra (Chris) Howard. Proud grandfather to Laura Gee, Stephen Smith, Shane Howard, Andrea Howard, Nicole Patterson, Daryl Patterson, and Kelly Ann Lynch. Pre-deceased by his grandson Adam Vicary. Great-grandfather to Kendall, Camden, Kaylee, Mia, Dylan, Sydney, Maverick, Joshua, Austin, Annie and Wally. Dear brother to Gerry McCann, Jeff McCann and Wally McCann.
John retired from Bell Canada in 1990 as a Manager in Cable Repair, after a 42-year career with the company. He valued his friendships that continued beyond retirement, and enjoyed getting together with friends for breakfast.
He had many passions and they all involved his family. He loved to go to Port Franks on Lake Huron for boating and eventually built a family cottage there. John was the Director of the Midlanders Drum and Bugle Corps for many years and also an avid London Knights fan and longtime season ticket holder. He owned several horses over the years, and his love of horses contributed to Mackinac Island in Michigan being his favourite vacation spot.
