John Comrie
November 6, 2023
It is with heavy and broken hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of John Comrie at University Hospital, on Monday, November 6, 2023, in his 85th year. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 60 years, Jean. Loving father of William (Tina), Catherine (Fred), and Peter (Jen). Adored Papa of Christie (Cam), the late John (2001), Maja, Brycen, Nick (Kainah), Jordyn (Patrick) and Jacob. Dear Great-Papa of Leo, Miles, Delilah, and Violette. Predeceased by his brother Tommy (2013) (Elspeth), and his sister Grace (2021) (Walter, 2012). Also loved by his nieces Jan and Elizabeth, and his nephew Stuart.
John was born in Crieff, Scotland, on May 10, 1939 to William and Elizabeth Comrie. The family moved to the town of Alva where he met and fell in love with the love of his life, Jean. In 1974, they moved their young family to London, Ontario, where he worked as a painter until his retirement from UWO in 2002. After retirement, John enjoyed spending time golfing with friends, and listening to his oldies music in which Guy Mitchell reigned supreme. He enjoyed nothing more than spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
