John Paul Ermel passed away on Tuesday, July 23rd, 2024, in his 83rd year with his loving family by his side. John was born on June 26th, 1942, and was the eldest of 3 children. He is survived by his wife, Gail, his son John and son-in-law Julio, his son Rob, and his daughter-in-law Jennifer. His brother Richard and his wife Sandy, his brother Edward, his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and nephews. John and his wife Gail were married in 1964, having just celebrated their 60th Anniversary. John liked his sports and supported the community with his coaching role for minor hockey, at times with his wife, and coaching his wife’s ladies’ ball teams. They were inseparable. He loved his job at Millers Home Hardware. He enjoyed helping the customers and the customers liked him. He was always in demand. We want to thank the numerous medical professionals who provided care for John over the past eighteen months. A special thank you to Dr. Michael Collins, Dr. Peter Blake and Thomas Whitcroft, Whitcroft Funeral Home and Chapel.
He will be loved and missed forever.
Gail draws strength from the following quote:
“The ones we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day”.
In lieu of flowers, those who wish to show expressions of sympathy can do so through donating to the Kidney Foundation of Canada or St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Wiarton, Ontario. Arrangements entrusted to the Thomas C. Whitcroft Funeral Home & Chapel, Sauble Beach (519) 422-0041.
