Godfrey, John Brock Secundus
With great sadness we announce John’s peaceful passing in his sleep of heart failure on April 7, 2022 at his home in Meaford at the age of 70.
Born in the Meaford Cottage Hospital on September 26, 1951, he was a son of the late Brock and Betty (nee Bosley) Godfrey.
John was the much loved older brother of Jane Aiello (Alex) and Martin Godfrey, and was predeceased by his sister Ann. He was the proud uncle of his niece Tammy, nephew Mitch and 2 great nieces and their families.
Painting and art were John’s life and his home was his studio the last few years. As a young man, he travelled the world, painted and had showings at galleries in downtown Toronto and the McMichael gallery in Kleinburg. In lieu of a photo of John for his obituary, we have included a copy of one of his paintings that was on an invitation to a showing he had at Galerie Dresdnere on Hazelton Avenue in Toronto.
John was a very compassionate, caring, generous guy who was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was a dreamer while still being a realist.
Many thanks to his friend Karen who made the call for a wellness check when friends were unable to contact John.
Cremation has taken place and because John was a very private person there will be no public service. A private family graveside interment will take place at Lakeview Cemetery in Meaford.
As your expression of sympathy, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated and may be made through the Ferguson Funeral Home, 48 Boucher St. E., Meaford, ON N4L 1B9 to whom arrangements have been entrusted. www.fergusonfuneralhomes.ca
