GARTON, John
August 06, 1950 - May 06, 2022
Passed away peacefully at his home. Adored husband of Doris (nee Bauhaus). Son of the late John and Irma Garton. Cherished brother of the late Durella, the late Suzanne, Cheryl (Burns). Loving dad of John (Dixie), Jeff, Chris Gagnier (Melinda), Tina, Carrie James (Dereck) and Brian Gagnier. Beloved grandfather to Joshua, Noah, Emily, Hudson, Emerson, Rowan, Chloe, Kane, Braedan, Nathan, Olivia. John will be deeply missed by many nieces, nephews and friends.
John had a love for the Legion, darts, musical instruments, and golf. He was also an avid Maple Leafs fan.
Memorial visiting at the Reid Funeral Home, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631) on Monday, May 9, 2022, from 2-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.
In John's honour, donations directed to Diabetes Canada are appreciated. Online condolences and cherished memories may be shared with the family at www.reidfuneralhome.ca
I was 20 years old and still didn't have a drivers license, or a car, because who needs a car when you grew up in a city with a major mass transit system? Well it was time. I had a learners permit and was tired of walking everywhere. John Garton had a new 1970 Ford Pinto with a 4 on the floor and showed me how to work a clutch. He sat in the passenger seat and let me practice. Because of John's help and that of Wayne McLean, Elta Cours and Dennis Rowley and his friend from Windsor, I was able to get my license on the first try. John's father John Garton Sr. was a local broadcasting legend who was one of the founders of CHYR Radio. (Then CJSP) Thank you John, rest in peace sir.
