John Mellema
Cemetery Set-up and Equipment Manager
Following retirement from his long-time career at the Kenwood Mills / Weavexx and then Boeing Canada, we were fortunate enough to land John as our cemetery set- up man. The manner with which John treats our equipment as well as his responsibilities depicts a solid and committed approach to doing “the best job that he can”. John always makes sure that preparations at gravesides are in perfect order and that no detail has been overlooked. A devoted husband to Noreen, “Trapper John” loves spending time on his wintertime trap lines and is always ready and willing to show anyone the beautiful pelts that he worked so hard to harvest. Proud of his children and grandchildren, John also enjoys time spent with family and friends.
