It is with profound sadness that the family of John Francis Gogan announce his peaceful passing at his home on Sunday, May 14, 2023. John was a former Spring-hiller, turned beach bum where he and his beloved wife bought and built their life and home at Cameron's Beach, located in Port Howe. John was a devoted husband who greatly enjoyed spending time with his family and his dog Belle. He also enjoyed the beach, lending a helping hand and taking Belle for rides on the four-wheeler. John enjoyed many things in life but in the last few years the highlight of his weeks was Wednesday night bingo with his two favourite Bingo Bags, his beloved daughter Michell and bestie Debbie Reeves. In John's younger years he was an avid sportsman, from baseball to darts he knew it all! John was a jack of all trades working many different jobs in his younger years until he finally settled on his long-time career at IMP Aerospace with well over 30 years in the trade before he retired. John will be lovingly remembered by his son, David and daughter/best friend, Michell Gogan (Devin Ward).
