The family of John Douglas Braithwaite is saddened to announce his peaceful passing in the early hours of Monday, February 13, 2023 at the age of 86. Beloved husband of Alice (nee Deep) for over 62 years. Cherished father of Janice Kominek (Bill) and the late Paul Braithwaite (2009) (Marilyn Fry O’Donnell). Proud grandfather of Dr. Alicia Kominek, Brandon Kominek (Heather Alp), Sarah Braithwaite, Emily Braithwaite and GG Pops of Isabel Kominek. Pre-deceased by his parents Philip and Elmire “Kitty”, his brothers Ken and Murray and his sister Grace Melville. He will be missed by many in-laws, nieces and nephews.
John was an Industrial Engineer with Chrysler Canada and he retired in 1992 after 28 years of service.

He was a member of Riverside United Church and in his younger years was an active team manager with Riverside Minor Hockey. He enjoyed watching all sports and was especially a fan of the Detroit Red Wings and Lions.
Special thanks to the staff of the Villages of Aspen Lake for their care and compassion over the past two years, and to Pastor Wendell Phipps for his comfort and guidance.
