JOHN ANGUS MACKINNON SLATTERY

(October 5, 1957 - November 19, 2025) It is with great sadness that we announce the death of John Angus MacKinnon Slattery, who passed away peacefully, in his beautiful garden with his beloved wife and daughters. John was an exceptional athlete, but an even better teammate. He measured a good game not by the score, but by how well he contributed to the team. John was also a natural storyteller, and was much admired for his intelligence and his astonishing lack of musical ability. Before he passed, John expressed immense gratitude to his wife, Jill, his partner in life and laughter, whose courage gave him great strength, especially in the end. He leaves behind his "girls," Emma and Katherine, who will remember the wisdom he shared and jokes he made - and believe it or not, there were a couple of good ones. John will be greatly missed by his sisters, Sandy (Peter), Gayle (Bob) and Ann (Joe); sisters-in-law, Joy and Ann (Greg); and loving nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his mother, Keltie; father, Denis; and brother, Jim. John leaves behind the legacy of kindness, modesty and dignity belonging to a true gentleman. He will be remembered for the quality of his friendship, the gentleness of his spirit, and the heartiness of his laugh. Thank you to those who made his life richer, and who will help us keep his memory alive. And to John, we say: see you later, my friend. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
