Longtime horseman John Davies of Woodstock, N.B. passed away on August 21 at the age of 79 with his family by his side.

Davies raised many of his own horses and gave them all Welsh names. He wore red, black and white colours and his sons Ivan and Owen are continuing the family’s harness racing tradition.
He will be sadly missed by wife Donna, sons Ivan and Owen, daughters Rhia, Darlene and Gwen, and nine grandchildren.
