John William Aletter was born in Kitchener Waterloo, Ontario.  His career was largely dedicated to J.M. Schneider's from which he retired as Western Regional Distribution Manager in the late 1990's after more than 30 years of service. His sense of adventure, humor and compassion for people served him well during his years of service to the organization. 

John moved his young family several times living in British Columbia and Alberta - eventually settling long term in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.  John is predeceased by his wife Joanne and survived by his daughters and their spouses, Kimberly & Mark Thomas and Kari Aletter & Glenn Dallas, his grandchildren Sierra & Ryan, his brother Craig Aletter & Family and loving friends and family across Canada and the United States. 

John had a marvelous sense of humor, compassion for people and was known for his ability to tell a story (especially to his children and grandchildren).  He loved his life, loved to drive and enjoyed time with his family.  His love of cars and driving led him to work with Enterprise Rent-A-Car in his early retirement.  He worked with a team moving cars around British Columbia and sometimes to Alberta.  It was his passion project after years behind a desk and he loved telling stores about his trips and his new friends!

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.  In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations for two organizations that supported John and his family in a meaningful way over the past two years:  THE SALVATION ARMY NEW WESTMINSTER BUCHANAN LODGE and/or ROYAL COLUMBIAN HOSPITAL (New Westminster)
