Earl James St John

It is with sadness that the family announce the passing of Earl James St John.

After a short battle with cancer Earl was called up home. He was predeceased by his parents Wilfred Earl and Theresa Marie, brother in law John Clouston and his in-laws Willard and Thelma Nordmarken.

Earl leaves behind his loving wife of 24 years and 3 months, Gale; children Jamie (Wes) and Gordon St John; stepchildren Aaron (Jenny) Franks, Rory (Michelle) Franks and Curtis vanDyk; grandchildren Karl Jr., Hannah, Paige, Caleb, Willard and Sarah; his siblings Evelyn (Bazil), Morris (Sarah), Sandra (Eugene) and June (John-deceased), aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and dearest friends.

Earl enjoyed hockey (his favourite team- Montreal Canadiens), curling, pool, fishing, softball and he found a new love - Black Powder. He worked as a truck driver, but his main occupation was working in the shingle mills both as sawyer and packer. He had a special love for animals, but his favourite was his cat "Miley". He loved people in general, but he had a special kind of love for his grandchildren, that just can't be explained.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, March 30th, 2019 - 1 pm at Grace Point Ministries - 3072 - 4th Avenue, Port Alberni. Fellowship to follow. If so desired, donations in Earl's memory may be made to the SPCA, West Coast Rangers or Grace "Rest In Peace Earl"
