It is with great sadness that John’s family announces his passing on December 14, 2014 due to cancer related complications. John was born in Windsor, Ontario on June 7, 1947 and enjoyed a long career with the RCMP before retiring to Victoria. John was dearly loved by his wife, Lori Sather and his children, Cory (Susanne), Shane, Niki (Tom) and Kody (Jennifer). He deeply loved his six grandchildren, Kyla, Natalyn, Rylan, Cavyn, Martin and Liam and his sisters, Judy (Bob), Peggy (Owen), Carey (Joe) and their families. He was profoundly grateful for the care received from his Doctors and Nurses and all of the help that Lorna and Aunty Joan provided during his illness.
John requested that we hold a tea to celebrate his life, so please join his family and friends on Saturday, December 27, 2014 from 1 – 4 pm at the Cordova Bay United Church Hall at 813 Claremont.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Red Cross Equipment Loans at 909 Fairfield Road, Victoria, BC. V8V 3A3 would be greatly appreciated.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

John was an inspiration for me in my younger years with the RCMP. My wife Carol was quite ill and John was always there to keep my spirits up and make sure I was alright. He was a great supervisor, friend and colleague. I sincerely hope John knows just how much he helped me and how important he was in my life. An e cefriend.
