The story begins
Born in Halifax with a curiosity that never really settled down.
His story
The best days started before sunrise
John believed a quiet lake, a hot coffee, and good company could solve almost anything. He was the friend who arrived early, stayed late, and always brought more food than anyone asked for.
His family remembers a patient teacher, an enthusiastic storyteller, and a grandfather who treated every small adventure like the beginning of something legendary.
“John didn’t collect things. He collected people, places, and stories.”
