Harder, John Richard:
Passed away on September 20, 2020 at St. Mary's Hospital in Kitchener, ON at the age of 78.
Dear husband of Elizabeth "Liz" Harder (nee: Miller) for 53 years. Loving father of: Melissa (David) Plouffe of Calgary and Richard (Andrea McKenna) Harder of Oakville. Lovingly missed by his grandchildren: Aidan, Christopher, Reigan and Matthew.

John worked in the electrical department at Sutherland-Schultz for 36 years.
John's first love was his family. He enjoyed fishing, canoeing and going camping at the lake. John also enjoyed golfing, trips to Florida, and in recent years, time spent at the K-W Seniors Day Program, where he continued to participate in his love of games, dancing and music.
