John R was a special uncle to all of us and we shared many good times together. He had a phenomenal memory - he was our go to - ask John R - he always had the answer whether it was family info or an important date. He chatted with everyone he met. John R would often go to the laundromat where he met and socialized with many people. I am sure he always had a story to tell them about who was related and where they came from. John R loved animals (especially his cat Tammy), gardening, playing cards and music. Family and friends would gather at the homestead to listen to him play guitar and sing. He loved Elvis Presley's music. He also loved collecting coins and stamps. John R was a member of St Patrick's Church, Guysborough Intervale.
