KIRBY, John

It’s with heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of our beloved brother, brother in law and Uncle. John passed away March 21st at Palmerston Hospital after a brief battle with Cancer. The family finds peace knowing he was welcomed with loving arms by both his parents Joseph and Rita Kirby. John enjoyed eating out at local diners, spending time with his niece and nephew, farming, playing cards and reading. John rarely missed a Saturday visit with Olivia and Coulson. It was the highlight of their week. Our family would like to Thank the Nurses at Palmerston Hospital for their care and attention during this difficult time. A remembrance gathering will take place at Fordwich diner Saturday April 6th details will follow. Please check the Graham A. Giddy Funeral Home website for updates on when and where the Service will take place – www.grahamgiddyfh.com. Donations can be made in John’s name to the Canadian Cancer Society. Hug a loved one a little tighter. Drop in on a neighbour for no reason. This is the day that the lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad with it.
