Lovingly remembered by his nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends. Born and educated at Old Belvedere and Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. He enjoyed a very successful professional career in the mineral exploration and mining industry both in Ireland and Canada.

Mid life John pursued a love of teaching, research and writing through becoming a professional educator with the Toronto Catholic District School Board, finishing at St. John Paul II High School, where he was greatly loved and respected by his colleagues and students. These feelings were mutually shared as evidenced by the countless hours John gave to helping others, as well as through the works of justice in support of the poor with the very successful “Pennies for Heaven” charity initiative which Kathleen McGill and he started at the school.
