He will be loved and missed forever by Nancy, his lovely wife of 30 years; his children: Michelle and Gregory; mother, Katherine Cresswell; and siblings: Sandra, Linda, Randy and Karen; sister-in-law, Janet. "J.B." was the beloved uncle of Keith, Kyle, Brendan, Taylor, Bryan, Connor and Stuart.

He was pre-deceased by his father Keith and brother, Ron.
