John leaves behind a great legacy as a prominent businessman in the insurance industry for 50 years. As the Owner and Chairman of Munn Insurance he was proud of the business he helped build and grow.

As a community leader he volunteered hundreds of hours as President & Executive member, coach, hockey and soccer dad and mentor to many at Mount Pearl Soccer, Mount Pearl Minor hockey and the Boys & Girls Club.
