OBITUARIES ...for the DURHAM REGION

WHITEHEAD, John - July 2, 1936 - August 5, 2020
Born in Australia, only his cat and a few people made it past his gruff exterior to know a positive, upbeat man who just liked to have a laugh.
Most conversations involved details of John’s crazy antics that were meant to cause trouble.
You’d probably hear John shout “Let the buggers come and get it!”, and the story would end with “But Lovie…” as he tried to convince you that his scheme was necessary.
