Obituary for
John MacMaster
MacMaster, John
Passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Wednesday, November 23, 2016 at the Dorothy Ley Hospice in Toronto, Ontario.
John was born April 10, 1956 in Sudbury Ontario. His proud parents George and Virginia MacMaster, predeceased, would have been so proud at his exemplary life. John, the ever loving and very proud father, is survived by his wife Diana Compton and their children Reid and Alexandra MacMaster.
John leaves behind his sisters, Jane Crouch (Tim) and Jennifer MacMaster and nieces and nephew Danica, Keiran and Sinaed Crouch and Emily MacMaster -- who will dearly miss their uncle.
John graduated from McMaster University where he was captain of the swim and water polo teams and earned a Bachelor of Science degree. After several years as the Director of Water Polo Canada and Team Manager at the 1984 Olympics, John went on to a long and successful career in technology that included positions in Vancouver, Hong Kong, Boston and Toronto. As a result John leaves a long line of friends around the world and particularly in his adopted home of PEI.
Memorial will be held on Sunday Nov 27th at G.H Hogle Funeral Home. Visitation at 1:00pm and service at 2:00pm followed by the opportunity to raise a glass in his honor at John’s beloved Blue Goose Tavern http://thebluegoosetavern.com/.
If desired, donations may be made in his honour to the Dorothy Ley Hospice http://dlhospice.org/ as the family was so appreciative of the care they provided.
