John Lancaster
It is with deep sadness, that Julia and Tom Lancaster announce the passing of their beloved father John William Lancaster on June 8, 2019 in Kamloops BC.   He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.  

 John came from a large family, he was one of  nine sons (Bob, Jim, Dave, Art, Rick, Ron, Burt and Forrest) born to Merle Emma Lyndsey and Forest Lloyd Lancaster.  John was a son, a brother, a father, a nephew, an uncle, a grandpa and a friend!

John led a full life, rich in experiences, including his time working as a mill wright, rig hand, driller, heavy duty mechanic, vinyl siding installer and as a machinist. Through these experiences he amassed many great friendships.

John was incredibly proud of his two children Julia and Tom.
