It is with great sadness to the Holt family we announce the loss of John Guy Johnston. John, of Stayner, was born on March 29, 1949. He was predeceased by his mother and half brothers.
As a small boy living across the road from them, John was taken under the wings of the late Gordon & Mary Holt, where he learned drywalling and worked for 30+ years with Holt Drywall Services. His hands have touched many houses in Stayner, Collingwood and Wasaga beach. He was a dedicated worker and he was more than an employee; he was apart of the family. Predeceased by Gordon and “Mother Mary” along with Dianne and Russell Holt, he will be greatly missed by the rest of his “family” being James, his wife Jennifer, their children Courtney and Natalie, and by Amanda (Holt) and Andrew Keeping. A frequent supporter of local businesses and known around the town for his loud personality he is one of the last originals on Highway 26 East. He is back with his “family” once again.
“Your presence will be missed, your memory we will treasure, remembering you always, forgetting you never”
