With great sadness we announce the passing of John (Jack) on Thursday, February 18, 2021, at the age of 88. After a brief three week separation since her death on January 28th, John has gone to continue his 64 year love affair with his beloved wife Josephine, and be reunited with their daughter Sandra (2017). Left to remember their father are his loving children Nancy Connelly (Dayle) and Richard (Sandy). He was a proud grandfather of Ian, Dayna (Travis), Christopher, Jolene and Krystal. Also dearly missed by family members here and in the Chicago area. Thanks to the staff of St. Joseph's Hospital for their tremendous compassion, and the amazing staff at Seasons Retirement Home for all their care and support. To honour John's wishes, cremation has taken place. If desired, memorial contributions to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be sincerely appreciated by the family.
