John Howard BELTON

It is with great sadness that on Wednesday, June 15th, we said goodbye to John Belton as he passed away at AbleLiving support services in Binbrook. John bravely battled cancer, Parkinson's disease, and the onset of dementia after losing his wife Doreen (06-26-16) 6 years earlier. Survived by their four children: Julie Brown (Jim,) Paul, Jan, and Anthony (Tony) Belton. Also missing their Grandpa are: Janelle, Brock, Brianna, (Robbie) and Ashley (Andrew) and great grandchildren Brynn and Mackenzie. Predeceased by his brothers Clifford, Peter and sister, Ena. John and Doreen came from England and settled in Grimsby in 1960. John worked for Ford dealerships of Canada before retiring and enjoying the great outdoors in Ontario and Canada. His passion was tennis and he volunteered at the Grimsby Tennis Club for 25 years. He enjoyed skiing and camping throughout Ontario and Canada. His gardening and cycling were also his enjoyment in his later years. The family would like to thank all those who made his life comfortable during the last six years. Thanks to the staff at Grimsby Hospital, the volunteers and PSWs along the way. He was given great care at AbleLiving services, and we thank them for their efforts to make him comfortable. Cremation will be taking place. If desired donations may be made to a local Charity of Your Choice.
John would not have wanted a service, however, please take a moment on your own to remember the good times you shared with him.
Arrangements entrusted to STONEHOUSE-WHITCOMB FUNERAL HOME, GRIMSBY, 905-945-2755.
