John Cosley
COSLEY, John William. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John on March 18, 2013, peacefully in his 85th year. Beloved husband of Joyce Cosley (nee Alton) of 57 years, loving father to Julie (Scott) and David (Carla), and proud grandfather to Christopher and Elizabeth. He will be sadly missed by his sister-in-law Betty, many nieces, nephews and friends. John is predeceased by two daughters, Jayne and Jill, and his siblings. While residing in Brantford for the past 56 years, John’s roots remained deep in the Port Dover and Simcoe region. An avid Barbershopper (baritone) with the Simcoe Gentlemen of Harmony and many quartets for 52 years, we hope his many friends in the singing community will remember with fondness his love of live and song. Thank you to his favourite bass, Jim Haskins, for all of his “fixing”, his stories, support and loyalty. John was a wonderful role model with a great sense of humour. He was a patient, caring gentleman who loved and learned throughout his life. At John’s request, cremation has taken place and a Memorial Service will be held at a later date. Special thanks to The Stedman Community Hospice in Brantford for all of their compassion and care. Donations to The Gentlemen of Harmony (SPEBSQSA), The Stedman Community Hospice, or a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
