Born and raised in Medicine Hat, John attended McCoy High School before marrying the love of his life, Donna, in 1971. A skilled journeyman carpenter/scaffolder and respected construction superintendent, John contributed to many significant projects in Medicine Hat, Fort McMurray and various locations throughout Alberta. His craftsmanship and dedication were admired by many.
Together, John and Donna owned and operated Copy Works Design and Gifts for 28 years. With his carpentry skills and warm personality, John helped create more than just a business it became a popular gathering place where many stopped in daily for coffee and conversation.
