McLean, John “Jock”

 John emigrated to Montreal in 1952 after serving in the British Army in the Middle East on a peace keeping mission after WWII. He worked at Northern Electric/ BNR/ Nortel for 37 years. He loved flying his Cessna, curling (Governor Generals Trophy), golfing (hole-in-one at Beckwith Golf Course) and spending time at the cottage with his family.
