John Walcot
1950

John Walcot, BCom, died on July 22, just 10 days after his 94th birthday. He played varsity sports while earning his Commerce degree, but the proudest moment of his sporting life was when he scored the winning touchdown for his North Toronto Collegiate football team in front of more than 20,000 fans in the city championships at Varsity Stadium. After Queen’s, John spent 40 years with New Holland Farm Equipment and enjoyed supporting his kids and grandchildren at thousands of games, recitals and events. He is survived by his wife of more than 69 years, Nancy; children Ann, Peter, Robert and Bradley; four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
