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.

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 pretence, 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' suredid 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!
