John passed away quietly in his sleep with all his loving family by his side to guide his passage. He was predeceased by his wife of 52 years, June, on April 13, 2005. John was born in Montrose, Scotland on July 28, 1928, the first son of Nora Blackie Hampton and William Dakers Hampton. He enlisted in the British Army when he was 17 and later joined the RCAF. He immigrated to Canada in 1956 with his wife and two oldest daughters. After he retired, he was employed with St. John Ambulance, Red River College, as a commissionaire, and was a Lieutenant in the Army Reserve. John was a Mason, a Shriner and finally, a member of the No. 1 Legion in Winnipeg, MB.

Thought of you today, Dad, several times. That's not unusual because so much of you lives in my memory bank. Your face comes clearly into focus in my mind's eye, and it's easy to "hear" your wise counsel, and "see" your laughing eyes. I believe that nothing truly good is ever lost, and that love never dies. The best of you lives on in those who loved you, Dad. And surely your gifts of love and goodness will be passed along in our unending circle of life. We hold you close in our hearts always. - Posted by: Glenn Hampton (Family) on: Oct 27, 2005
