JOHN G. MADOTT
1918 - 2011
John Madott saw life with the passionate eye of the artist, its colour, texture, rhythm and form captured on his canvasses. He loved his family well and unconditionally, and he filled our world with laughter, opportunity and the encouragement to embrace our gifts, to take risks, to be. His perspective and vision will continue to touch all who love him and who shared life’s stage with him: his wife and devoted partner of 67 years, Francesca (nee Spadafora); his daughters, Valerie (Joseph McCarville), Darlene, and Francine (Charles Kresnik); his grandchildren, Vanessa, Ross, and Marcus; his extended family and friends.

Our husband and father passed away on Thursday, July 28th, 2011, in his 94th year. The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the dedicated nurses, doctors and staff of York Central Hospital for their compassionate care of our father over the past five months.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate his life with us. Visitation on Thursday, August 4, from 2-4pm and 7-9pm, at Ward Funeral Home, 4671 Highway 7, Woodbridge, (905-851-9100). Funeral Mass to be held at St. Clare of Assisi Parish, 150 Saint Francis Avenue, Woodbridge, at 9:30am, on Friday, August 5, 2011. Interment at Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
Memorial donations in John’s honour may be made to a charity of your choice.
We continue to see him through his landscapes, as we saw him in life: vibrant, colourful, and exhilarated by the adventure of painting each new vista.
