John Edward GUPPY

The family of John Edway Allan Guppy announced with great sorrow, but also gratitude, that Mr. Guppy’s body was recovered on June 26, 2007 from Rabbit Lake, near Temagami. He had not returned from a wilderness trek he took the first week of January. Mr. Guppy is survived by his beloved mother Margaret “Peggy” Guppy of Temagami; sisters Nancy and Sherry; brothers-in-law Ian May and Jason Zeppa; and he was a wonderful uncle to Ryan, Jessica, Jasper, Dylan and Gabriel. He was predeceased by his father John Henry Guppy of Temagami and sister Maureen. Mr. Guppy was known for having an incredibly generous spirit, great sense of humour and a special knack of making people feel good about themselves. He was an avid bushman and promoter of eco-tourism in the Temagami wilderness. The family is very grateful to the local people of Temagami for their continuous search efforts and care and concern during the past many months. The funeral service will be held Wednesday, July 4 at 11 a.m. at St. Elizabeth’s Roman Catholic Church in Temagami.
