Lenders, John Adrian,
Antigonish/Tangier. It is with great sadness
the family of John Adrian Lenders announce his passing at the Aberdeen
Hospital, New Glasgow, surrounded by his family, on January 10, 2023
after a three year battle with brain
cancer.
Born in
Antigonish, he was the son of the late Theo and Hendrika
Lenders.
John spent
most of his time doing things outdoors, whether it was fixing up his
house, out ski-dooing, or gardening, just to name a
few. He loved watching sports of any kind, but most
importantly his beloved St. Louis Blues. John graduated from
the Electronic Technician course at Pictou Regional Vocational School
in 1978-79 and then went on to Radio College of Canada in 1981-82.
As owner-operator of Cape Nova Electronics in Antigonish he
got to provide service to, and make connections with, many people in
the area.
He is
survived by daughters, Kelsey (Scott) and Allison (Josh); brothers:
Robert (Dorothy) and Leo (Lena), nieces Lisa and Ashley and nephew
Robbie, partner Vicky, mother of his children and friend Sherry, and
his best friend and sidekick, Tucker.
John was
predeceased by his parents Theo and Hendrika
Lenders.
Visitation
will be in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College Street, Antigonish on
Thursday, January 12th, from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9
pm. Funeral Mass will be held in St. Ninian Cathedral on
Friday at 11:00 am with Father Danny MacLennan presiding.
