John served with the Black Watch Second Battalion, and 2RCR. He retired as a Warrant Officer. After his service with the Military he enjoyed his time at Magaguadavic Lake, volunteering, hunting with family and fly fishing on the Miramichi with friends. John held a special place in his wife’s large extended family who considered him an honorary Doucette. The family wishes to acknowledge the excellent care John received from his many doctors, the Extramural nurses and all the staff and volunteers at Fredericton Hospice. Honouring John’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service, at a later date there will be private celebrations of life in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for John.
