John Arthur Wright

John Arthur Wright passed away peacefully in his 90th year at the Fairvern Long-Term Care Home in Huntsville, Ontario on January 8th, 2023. John was the cherished husband of 57 years to the late Adeline (2013), and beloved father to Joan (Geoff), John (Irene), Hugh (Lori), and Neil (Mark). He is lovingly remembered by his four grandchildren Doug (Rosie), Kyle (Amy), Emily, Erica, and his sister Annette (Elmer, deceased) as well as extended family and friends. 

 John retired as Staff Sergeant with the Ontario Provincial Police and led the OPP Academy in Brampton. He cared deeply for his kids, grandkids and extended family with kindness and generosity. John's great sense of humour was known to include the occasional good-natured prank. A lifelong athlete and avid golfer, he also loved playing cards and board games. He enjoyed winters in Florida with Adeline and long-time friends, and later in Arizona with his Oro Valley friends and family.

 The family wishes to express heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Fairvern for their compassionate care over the last 3 and half years, and for their exceptional comfort and guidance in John’s final days. 

 Extended family and friends will be welcome to join in a celebration of John's life to be scheduled in the coming spring or summer. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Fairvern Long-Term Care Home. Donations can be made via cheque to: Fairvern and mailed to 14 Mill Street, Huntsville, ON, P1H 2A4.
