In Loving Memory of John Douglas Cubbon born April 23, 1934 passed away peacefully on March 7, 2016 in Battleford’s Union Hospital. John was the second child of James (Jim) and Sarah (Sally) Cubbon. He was born on the family homestead located at Sec.8, Tp45, Rge14, W3rd. There he was raised with his brother Mark, and his sister Hazel and enjoyed many aspects of farm life. School was an important part of his life. He attended Mount Hope School and Highworth Schools and later obtained his realtors license (1979) and became an adjuster for Sask. Crop Insurance. Farming was a big part of John’s life working on the family farm, with his Uncle Jim Sharp, and finally his biggest accomplishment was owning his own farm north of North Battleford. John met and married Dorothy Roberts on June 21, 1957 and were blessed with three children. In 1975 John and Dorothy began traveling to many countries as well as through Canada and the United States. In 1996 they purchased a park model in Yuma Arizona. There he was very involved in the organization and willingly participated in the activities there. He loved to dance and was part of the Old Time Dance Club for 53 years. He loved spending time with the grandchildren, watching them grow and flourish.
