JOHN KENNEDY
Friends of the Kennedy family will be
saddened to learn that
John passed away on Sunday evening, December 21, 2014.
He was at peace in his final hours, surrounded by family and
the loving staff
of Elder Care in Bloomfield.
He was the loving husband of Patricia until her
death
after 60 years of marriage,
and the beloved father of Robert, Jamie, and
Nicole.
He was a loyal friend and lived a wonderful and fascinating life,
working as a producer in the early days of the CBC,
teaching filmmaking to
drama and arts students at Yale University,
and returning to CBC to become head
of children's TV,
followed by several years as a network executive.
After a
10-year adventure in the mountains of southern Portugal,
he ended his days in
Prince Edward County writing "Tales of Sloeville,"
a bi-weekly
chronicle for the Times of Wellington,
and making vast numbers of new friends.
Remembered by his children Robert (Ryan),
Jamie (Victoria), and Nicole (Diane),
his grandchildren Julia, Micha, Jackson
and Nile, and,
in Port Hope, his sister Ruth, nieces and nephews, grand-nieces
and grand-nephews.
And his legions of friends, old and new.
A Celebration of John's Life will be held
on
Saturday, January 31, 2015, at 2:00 p.m.
at the Wellington Town Hall, 246 Main
Street, Wellington, ON
Arrangements entrusted to
