John Hotson RIP

[Bob Phillips]

It is with great regret that I inform the MV community of the passing of John Hotson of St Marys Ontario, on April 30, he was 91. He was a history buff, tinkerer, fabricator and farmer who built canoes, boats and restored army trucks in his spare time. He was married to his wife Irene for 64 years, and they always made visitors welcome at their farm. I first met John 35 years ago when he and his wife and family friends would come shopping for CMP parts at my family home, driving his custom made and camouflage painted 6x6 van. The outing usually ended at the local fish and chip store just down the street. I visited his home many times and John would assist me with my latest project, providing advice, assistance and often extra parts or just talk army trucks. He was a talented, generous and curious minded individual who was much loved by family and friends. I will miss him!
