He was born on December 6, 1937 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. John was raised in Winnipeg and developed an appreciation for Nice Cars and a love of pets and wildlife. John was a long time member of the LGBT community, and was proud to hear a "Public Apology" in the House of Commons last fall over issues that had impacted many in his generation as well as himself. John worked for many years in the Pipeline Industry for a variety of companies. He had a passion for politics, and was active in the Liberal Party for many years. John was well respected and will be dearly missed by all of his colleagues that worked with him on the many mainline pipeline projects he worked on across Canada. There will be a Celebration of Life in the spring/early summer when his ashes will be spread. His insight and witty intellect will be fondly remembered. He was a beloved brother to Lily Gibson, her children William, John and Ingrid, and is also survived by his niece and nephews and his special friends, Jim Kane and Arnie Stefaniuk. John was predeceased by his parents, sisters Shirley and Ingrid, and brother in-law William Gibson.

I am so sorry to learn of John’s passing. My late husband, Warren worked with John, during their time with the Operating Engineers in British Columbia. John often visited us in Kamloops and our family had many wonderful memories of those visits. We had lost touch over the past few years but he was often in our thoughts. I will remember him, and smile. In Friendship, Bette Cardinal Kelowna, B.C. - Posted by: Bette Cardinal (Friend) on: Jun 30, 2018

Sad to read of the passing of an old acquaintance and friend. My father Warren and John worked as business representatives for the Operating Engineers. It is hard to forget someone like John. He had quick wit, sharp humour, great negotiating skills and a classic flair for fashion. He told great stories, had the gift of gab and was comfortable in any social circle. It was an honour to have known him. RIP Mitzy. - Posted by: Kevin Cardinal (Friend) on: Jun 30, 2018
