John W.
(Age 86)
John slipped away Sunday March 25, 2012 in his sleep, with family at his side.
He was born July 18, 1925 in Nelson, British Columbia to William Weaver and Helen Campbell Powell.
He lived and loved with passion, while following his passions of music and humor.
His love affair, with his lovely wife, June, lasted more than 50 years.
His children, granddaughter and friends were the lights of his life.
In John’s journey, he was a big band leader, drummer, comic and entertainment agent and personal manager to musicians, singers, comics and one very special baseball player.
He was an entertainer at heart.
Humor defined him.
Laughter was ever present.
His animals, especially his dogs, brought him joy.

John has now joined June and his beloved daughter Leslie, in Heaven.
