John W. Gill
1935 -2023
It is with great sadness that we announce that John Gill passed away suddenly on July 25 at the CHUS Hôtel-Dieu de Sherbrooke at the age of 88. John was the loving husband of Norma, and brother to Robert, Edith, Laura (deceased) and Georgina (deceased). He was the father of Lee (Clarisse), Glen (Annie), Trudi (Neil), and Wayne (Angela) and the cherished grandfather of David, Sara, Shane, Brenden, Shannon, Carmen, Shayla, Kleah, and Anwyn. He was the great grandfather and friend to many.
John was born in Cookshire, Quebec and lived there most of his life aside from the last few years in Lennoxville. John greatly enjoyed his work with Bell Canada for over 35 years. He served for many years on the Municipal Council of Cookshire. He enjoyed gardening, farming and taking care of horses. John always loved fishing and hunting and eagerly participated for years in the Island Brook Fish and Game Club.
In memory of John, donations may be made to the Grace Village Retirement home in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
A memorial service will be held on August 13, 2023 at the Cass Funeral Home in Lennoxville at 2:00 p.m., followed by a burial service at the Cookshire Protestant Cemetery.

Thinking of you all on this beautiful morning. Uncle John's love, time and kindness will shine and live on forever in our hearts and memories. For me his laugh was certainly a "Gill" laugh.

Our deepest condolences to you all. It’s not easy to lose a love one. May all your good memories provide you with some measure of comfort along with being surrounded with loving friends and family. May the knowledge that many of us are thinking of you all and sending you lots of love also bring you some comfort. May all the good attributes in John be carried on through all of you as a tribute to his legacy. Peace be with you all.
