John Kennedy "Jack" King MD
Passed away peacefully at Sunrise of Mississauga, on Thursday, January 11, 2018, in his 88th year. Son of the late Dr. George and Florence King. Survived by his sisters Mary Joan (the late Don) and Lenore (the late John). Beloved husband of the late Florence "Margaret" King (2016). Cherished father of John and Martha (Joe).

He graduated from the University of Toronto Medical School in 1954 finishing 12th in a field of 156. What an accomplishment!

He was an avid walker and was always accompanied by one of the family pets (Della, Molly, Casey, Amy, Elle). He was a member of the Grimsby Lions Club and later the Probus Club of Grimsby. Following retirement, he filled his days with golfing and curling. He will be remembered as a quiet gentleman devoted to his family.
