It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of John Clifford King, 74, of Springhill, NS, at his home on Friday, July 23, 2021.  John was born in Springhill, a son of the late Earl and Dorothy (Hartley) King.

John was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Air Force before it became the Canadian Armed Forces.  Following that, he enjoyed a career as a Corrections Officer with Corrections Canada, first in Dorchester, NB, then in Springhill.  John went on to be a Commissionaire before retiring.

John enjoyed a good conversation with anyone.  John liked to work in his yard and was an avid sports fan, in particular he enjoyed watching the Montreal Canadiens.  John was a great lover of animals of all kinds.  In his spare time, John loved spending time with his family and in particular his grandchildren who will miss him dearly

John will be sadly missed by his wife, Patty (nee Rector), Springhill, with whom he very recently celebrated 52 years of blissful marriage; his sons, Jonathan (Kyle), Halifax, Christian (Sarah), Charlottetown; his grandchildren, Emma, Landan, and Griffin, Charlottetown; his brothers, Earle (Susan), Stephen (Karen), Richard (Patty), Andrew (Kimberly), Scott, Skyler; his sisters, Charlotte Anne, and Carolyn, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, John was predeceased by his granddaughter, Gracie.

Arrangements are under the care and guidance of A.H. Brown Funeral Home, 5 McFarlane Street, Springhill, NS (902-597-2361) from where a time of visitation will be held on Thursday, July 29, 2021 from 12:30 pm until the time of the funeral at 2 pm.  Ruth Gamble DLM presiding.  Interment to take place at a later date.
