John Goodbody

GOODBODY, John…….
John Stephenson Goodbody of London, Ontario slipped away Thanksgiving Monday, October 12, 2015 in his 83rd year. He was surrounded by the love and adoration of family. John was the treasured husband of Marilyn (Ellis), predeceased by their precious son Douglas John (2008); beloved Pops to Cynthia (Ken) Bussey; Beverley Wray; David (Maggie) Wray; Nancy (Gerry) McMullen. He was loved so very much by his grandchildren Marc-André and Laura Kim, Kevin and Alison, Ashley and Kylie and Brendan; Brother to Hudson (Gail) Goodbody; Uncle to Carol (David) Cutway, Stephen (Lynne) Goodbody and Ann (Tim) Sheahan; as well to other extended family members. His interest and passion was GOLF: the game, the courses (most especially Highland); but of greatest significance, the friends. John was the last surviving member of Highland’s famous Dirty Dozen; if that doesn’t ring a bell with you… check the club’s history and ask about ‘The Shack’. ‘Gooders’ lived his life without any pretense, but with a light-heart, a giving spirit and the generous heart of a giant. Thank you to all his friends and cohorts who over the years helped to create memories that John told entertaining tales about, much to his and everyone’s amusement… ‘Do It All Johnny’ sure did it All, with his extraordinary disposition and unique personality that made everyone feel loved and special!!! Here’s to you Pops… We dropped our tears in the ocean today; even if they could be found, we’ll never stop loving you! A Celebration of John’s life will be held at Highland Country Club, 279 Commissioners Rd. E., London, Ontario N6C 2T4, Sunday, October 18th from 1:00 – 4:00pm. Cremation and inurnment in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to Canadian Diabetes Association, 442 Adelaide Street, N., London, ON N6B 3H8. A.
