Known as ‘Johnny’ to friends and family, our beloved family patriarch was a Welshman who never forgot his roots. He was born in Cardiff amid the chaos of World War II, and there he received his scientific education at the University of Wales. A “metals man”, he later moved to Canada and spent his entire career working for Inco. In that role, he made friends all over the world with his warm and generous personality.
He was the husband and best friend of Anne-Remy Jones, beloved brother of Dorothy Reoch, father of Dylan and Owain, and proud grandfather to Kristine, Gareth, Rhys, Harry and Jack. A loyal and loving friend to many, he will be sorely missed by us all. Not a day will pass when we do not think of him.
A private family service will be held at the graveside, followed by a Celebration of life in the summer. Please contact the family for further information.
