John “Jack” Gow

2/16/2021

It is with heavy hearts we said goodbye to our loving Dad on Tuesday February 16 at the age of 96.

Dad was the man who played 3rd base without a glove, fell in love at first sight, and treated everyone with respect.

He is now reunited with the love of his life, Pearl Betsy, who predeceased him in 2019. He will be greatly missed by his children Wayne (Fran), Ron (Dianne), Dave (Judy), Keith (Mary Jane) and Susan (Warren) and his grandchildren and great grandchildren; Kelly, Ryan, Sean, Kiera, Evan, Kennedy, Jeffrey, Daniel, Codie, Amanda, Michael, Greyson, Aven, Jack, Paisley, Samantha and Katelyn.

Messages and condolences may be left at tricitycremations.com or by calling 519-267-7199. Please visit John's obituary notice on Facebook.

So sorry to hear of John’s passing. We had the pleasure of meeting him and Pearl at the Hespler Legion. He was a great euchre player and will be missed.

Sending our sympathy.
