It is with great sadness that the family of John Henry Charnock announce his passing. John lived a remarkable life of 102 years and left this world as he wished, quietly and peacefully in his sleep. He was a true gentleman that inspired everyone he came into contact with. He is remembered with great love by Helen, his beloved wife of 70 years, his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. As per his wishes, John will be interned simply, at a future date.

I have many great memories of John and Helen. I met them when they built their new home on the mountain. They had purchased windows from my company and had some minor issues. John was such a gentleman and we became friends. I spent many hours with them when I was in Thunder Bay during my evening off hours. I always looked forward to a trip to the city as I could spend some pleasant hours with both.
Later when I married and my children came along I proudly brought them by on the odd vacation to Thunder Bay. We were always received with joy.
One of my best memories is going skiing with John. He was a professional and I was just learning. We were at the black run on Loch Lomond. He just went straight down expecting me to follow. I barely managed the first part took my skis off and walked the rest. He was 73 and I was 30! He was polite enough not to laugh too hard! A really good memory.
My wife and I will miss him. It was our intention to visit this summer coming 2020.
We know John left a great legacy and give our heartfelt condolences to the Family.
