It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Thompson on May 10, 2020 at the Montfort Hospital. John was the son of the late Donald and Dorothy Thompson, beloved husband of Winnifred (Patterson), brother to Jane Johnson and Neil (Kathy) Thompson. Much loved uncle to his many nieces and nephews.
John was a member of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa for 13 years and enjoyed the camaraderie of the military family. He graduated from Carleton University in 1971 with a degree in Geography and completed a Masters at McGill. He worked for 35 years at Natural Resources Canada with the National Atlas and as a manager in the Business Development Sector.
John loved his motorcycles- he was especially proud of his ’91 Harley Davidson Sturgis which he sadly had to give up eight years ago.
Always a family man, there to lend a hand, share a laugh and enjoy a delicious meal and satisfy his sweet tooth. He will be dearly missed.
A private funeral service for John will be held by the family.
Sympathy to the whole family. I work with John for over 25 years at the Atlas of Canada and I have a great respect for John and a great respect. I will never forget John.
