John Henry Walker

It is with heavy hearts that the family of John Henry Walker announces his peaceful passing at Kings Way Care Centre on August 7, 2020, surrounded by his loving family. John was born in Lower Millstream, NB on June 3, 1931 to the late Austin and Annie (Corbitt) Walker and was the loving spouse of 65 years to his late wife, Vivian Mae (Wells) Walker.

John was a carpenter by trade and in his earlier years, taught carpentry at NB Community College. He was a master craftsman who was known for his carpentry skills and fine furniture making. He was a long-time faithful member of True Life Church (formerly Rothesay Baptist) and even oversaw the construction of the original church. 

He will be greatly missed by his son Peter (Penny) of Riverview, NB; daughters Bonnie (Tom) Bustin and Heather (Brian) Tupper both of Rothesay; 13 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; sister Inez McMann of Sussex and many friends.

In addition to his parents, and wife, he was predeceased by his sisters Jean Roberts, Hope Brown and June Cameron.
