Lloyd Brown-John died on Feb. 24 from an undiagnosed heart condition.

He was a beloved husband, father and grandfather, a teacher, thought-provprovprovator, a political commentator, and a commentator.

He founded Canterbury ElderCollege in 2011 to provide lifelong learning opportunities for adults age 55 and over.

The college's only paid employee says tributes have been pouring in from the types of subject experts he corral into lectures.

Brown-John was involved in countless academic and research institutions and organizations. He was the long-time president of Friends of Point Pelee and a fundraiser for Leamington ’s arts centre. For years before he wrote a regular Windsor Star column, Brown-John was a commentator on local politics for the CBC and other media, and he was an election night regular, feeding independent expert analysis to news reporters.
