John worked at farming most of his life and he enjoyed it. He practiced ‘any job worth doing was worth doing well’. John was an active member in the Blumenhof Gospel Church until he retired to Swift Current in 1996. John liked having friends over for coffee and playing games. He loved Mom and his family dearly and often told them "I love you" with a firm hug. He proved this by doing anything he could for them. Dad will be sadly missed by his family, relatives and friends.
