John Ernest Wolosinovsky

July 9, 1935 — July 20, 2024

John Ernest Wolosinovsky, known affectionately as John to all who knew him, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2024, at the age of 89. Born on July 9, 1935, John's life was a tapestry of love, laughter, and dedication to his family and passions.

John was a devoted husband, first to his late wife Isabel, who passed away in 1992, and then to his loving spouse Deborah. Together, they created a family that was the center of John's world. He was a cherished father to Deanna West (Steve), Alan (Catharine), Shelley, Ashley (Michael Stehlik), Michelle McVey (Ryan), Debbie Hardy (Doug Stanford), David Hardy, and Johnathon Hardy. John's legacy continued through his adored grandchildren, Sarah (Rémi), Kristin (Byron); Jessica, Kara, Jocelyn; Jayden, Kieran; Meghan, Carson; Reilly, and Gavin; Bailee and Jackson as well as his treasured great-grandchildren, Keenan, Gavyn, Taryn; Joséphine, and Sébastien.

John was the beloved brother of Margaret (Barney) Olah and sister-in-law Fay. He was predeceased by his siblings Mary, Kathleen, Irene, Helen, George, and Julie, as well as his parents, Mary and George. His extended family included several nieces and nephews, each of whom held a special place in his heart.

Throughout his life, John's work ethic and passion were evident in his love for standardbred horse racing. His horses were not just a hobby but a significant part of his life, bringing him joy and a sense of pride.


Those who knew John would describe him as funny, handy, and selfless. His sense of humor brought smiles to many, and his ability to fix anything made him the go-to person in times of need. John's selflessness was most apparent in his unwavering commitment to his family, whom he supported and loved unconditionally.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Woodingford Lodge for their exceptional care and kindness during John's time there. It was a comfort to know he was in such good hands.
