On October 21, 1977 John married the love of his life, his Best Friend, Brenda (Lynch). Together, as a perfect team, they built a beautiful life and Family. His children, Troy and Heather Kelly and Mandy Bridgewater and Shaun Cohoe, will forever miss his guidance, advice, and witty charm. Out of all of his roles, “World’s Greatest Papa” may have been his favourite. His adored Grandchildren, Hayden Kelly and Shayna and Ty John Bridgewater, and his beloved Grand dog,Marley, will forever miss their loving, cherished Papa. John lived a full life. He played in the Seals Hockey League for many years. He enjoyed golfing and playing cards.
