Memorial donations may be made to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, 11560 University Avenue, Edmonton, AB, T6G 1Z2. To sign the book of condolences, visit www.evergreenmemorial.com .

John's son Jamie was one of my best friends growing up in Calgary and John was one of the best hockey coaches I ever had. I know he was well loved by his family and that he will be greatly missed
