Our sincere condolences to John's wife Johanna, his family, and his friends at this difficult
time.
From the Wall-Custance Funeral Home:
Buitendyk, Johannes (John)
With many interests, his longest and deepest interest was magic. For many years, as a side hobby, John performed as “Arkello” the Magician, for kids birthday parties, Corporate family events, at Magic conventions, and as a Guelph Shriner in his earlier years he performed magic and as a clown making balloon animals. John was a longstanding member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians for over 40 years, and as a member of the Guelph Masonic Lodge and the Kitchener and Hamilton Magic Clubs.
Thank you to the support and efforts of Dr. Madani, Dr. Glick, Dr. Molckovsky and all the support staff and nurses at Grand River Cancer Center, St. Mary’s and Guelph General Hospitals.
Forever in our hearts, he will be dearly missed.
Cremation has taken place, with a memorial service being held on Friday, July 26, 2024
