John Frederick Morgan was a force to be reckoned with in the business world. His passion was empowering motivated people long before it was widely acceptable. This brought his career to its height being the President of Labatt Breweries. From Formula 1 cars, fine dining and enjoying downtime watching horses he was always patiently waiting for success on the sidelines. He spent his life traveling, living and working all over the world, growing businesses, sitting on boards, teaching business at SFU and having a family.Read More & Leave Condolences »
