John Richard Whitehurst
January 7, 1949 - April 23, 2020
Tribute
It is with sadness and heartache we say goodbye to John Whitehurst and send him into God’s arms. John was predeceased by his parents John and Jessie Whitehurst and was an only child. Born in England, he moved to Powell River with his parents when he was five years old. He studied for a time at Simon Fraser University and was a part-time employee at the MacMillan Bloedel mill in Powell River. John will be dearly missed by his loving partner of 12 years Celia. No service by request. A private celebration of life will be held at a future date.

Dear Celia- I am sorry for your loss of Richard. He was a terrific gentleman. I enjoyed his mill stories because my three maternal uncles worked full time in finishing room of number ten paper machine and other two worked in groundwood four- G4 department near where pulp testing occurs inside PR Division Pulp & Paper Mill.
