John MIDGLEY Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 20 to Jul. 27, 2017.

MIDGLEY, John - After a long, valiant battle, at the age of 64, John passed away Wednesday, July 12, 2017 exactly how he wished- at home with his loving family by his side. Devoted husband and soulmate of Betty for over 30 years. Cherished Dad of Jake, Madeline and Carly (Bryan). Thoughtful son of Mae (late Durward Midgley). Beloved brother to Zee. John will be missed by his legions of friends spanning 6 decades, as well as his aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins, including Ellen (David). John's devotion to family, amazing fortitude and love of nature and photography was obvious to all who knew him. He will be truly missed by all who were touched by his kind and generous nature. Visitation will take place at THORNTON FUNERAL CENTRE (1200 Thornton Road North, Oshawa, 905-579-6787) on Thursday, July 20, 2017 from 1pm until time of Celebration of Life at 2:30 pm in the Chapel. If desired, donations can be made to your local Community Living chapter - or a tree can be planted in John's honour.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
