Obituary of John Mains

John “Scotty” Mains passed away peacefully on the morning of January 20, 2016 in his home with a heart full of love and surrounded by his family who adored him. Scotty was born in Larkhall,Scotland to parents John and Elizabeth, where he grew up with his brother Bill. He then emigrated to Canada at the age of 18 where he went on to serve with the Canadian Air Force. Following his time in the military, Scotty began a long, passionate career in teaching where he taught electronics in many locations around the world including Canada, the United States and the Middle East. An avid golfer, Scotty loved warm weather, a nice glass of wine and good company. With a terrific sense of humor, he was quick to smile and always available to lend a helping hand. Scotty, a caring husband to his loving wife Glenna, father to Christine, Sandra and John, cherished stepfather to Gregory (Ellen), Danielle (Michael) and Erick (Betty), doting grandfather to Stephen, Brendan, Emma, Madelyn, Victoria, Quinn, Dylan, and Julia, and great grandfather to Cohen, he will be missed dearly by all. Predeceased by his first wife Doreen, he now is by her side in the afterlife. Though our hearts are heavy for the void his presence will leave in our lives, it is with profound happiness that we celebrate his life and are grateful for the impact he had on each of us. We will forever hold his memory in our hearts. Though no service will be held, a memorial mass in his honor will be announced at a later date. We thank you all for your prayers, kind words and condolences.
