He was an avid outdoor enthusiast and took full advantage of what Muskoka had to offer, including canoe tripping, fishing, camping, sailing, ice fishing, and snowmobiling, all done with family and like-minded friends. He loved birds and cats as pets, which is a somewhat surprising combination, but we are not aware of any unfortunate turn of events between the two. In part, his care for animals was expressed as a regular donor to the Canadian Wildlife Federation. He was unbeatable at Scrabble, and anyone who dared to challenge him was humbled by his prowess with words.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After graduating from Huntsville High School in 1975, he was the first of his family to pursue post-secondary education. He attended York University and graduated with an honours bachelor\u2019s degree (1979) in Mathematics. He subsequently spent his career as a computer programmer for Canada Life in Toronto, where he made significant contributions over several years in the early days of his chosen discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his later years, John\u2019s medical condition required a supportive living environment where he was a resident at Macassa Lodge in Hamilton for several years. Here he enjoyed regular visits from his near-by niece, Victoria, and her husband, Jeff, where their routine was &#8220;eating sushi and chatting about life.\u00a0The staff at Macassa Lodge were family to John and we are full of gratitude for the care and companionship that he received there.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In keeping with his wishes, John has been cremated. A private family celebration of his life will be held in the spring as we emerge from the long, cold winter we feel from his passing.\u00a0You can help us celebrate John\u2019s life by making a donation via CanadaHelps to The Volunteer Association of Macassa Lodge, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/charities\/the-volunteer-association-of-macassa-lodge\/\">https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/charities\/the-volunteer-association-of-macassa-lodge\/<\/a>, or the Canadian Wildlife Federation.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/charities\/canadian-wildlife-federation\/\">https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/charities\/canadian-wildlife-federation\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cornelius John (John) Verbeek, age 68, of Hamilton, Ontario, peacefully completed his life\u2019s journey on September 22, 2024.\u00a0John was born on June 8, 1956, in Bowmanville, Ontario, the first-born offspring [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":182788,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-182785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-obituaries"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
