DODGE, John “Jock”

We regret to announce the passing of our beloved husband, best friend and jive partner of Chris (nee MacIntyre) for over 47 years, John “Jock” Dodge who passed away on Wed., July 27, 2016 at the Health Sciences North, at the age of 70.

Loving dad to daughter, Dana (Andy) and son, Kelly (Jasmin), both of Toronto. Adored Grampa of Ava, Kaia, Archer and Adria. Survived by his sister, Mary Jane (Allan Laird) of Vancouver and MacIntyre inlaws, Ernest (Joyce), Kenrod (Anne) and Armand (Deirdre).

Predeceased by his parents, John and Edwina Dodge (nee Logan). He will also be missed by several nieces, nephews and dear friends.

His enriched and varied career path took him from Winnipeg to London to Sydney to Sudbury, making lifelong friends along the way. Always one for new projects, he was as enthusiastic with a hammer, saw or crowbar, as he was successful in business, technology and academia. Jock was a founding member of the Cape Breton Canoe & Geographic Society. Time spent in Pictou, Aruba and Naples was dear to his heart, as were all of his many trips with friends and family.

The family would especially like to thank Dr. Young, Tara Imbeau, Dr. Bowen, the emergency care staff and nurses of 4th floor south at Health Sciences North. Funeral Service in the R.J.
