Obituary for John Heslop Rutherford


JOHN HESLOP RUTHERFORD—September 28, 1930-January 17, 2018 (Aged 87)
Passed away suddenly at his home in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Predeceased by his beloved wife Anne. Leaving to mourn are his daughters Margaret (Dean), Patricia (Tom), his grandson Graham, and sister Margaret and her daughters in the UK, as well as extended family and friends in Canada and overseas. John will be greatly missed by all who knew him for his brilliant mind, wit, generosity and kind heart. The family would like to send heartfelt thanks to all the warm and thoughtful neighbours and friends who helped make St. John’s home for him over the past 30 years. A celebration of John’s life will be held in St. John’s at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Parkinson Society Newfoundland & Labrador, or the Canadian Red Cross.
