Unfortunately, John's health started to decline shortly thereafter, and he passed away in Snook's Harbour in August 1916 at age 65 years. Although the FPU Political Party had only modest success, the FPU movement itself was a major step forward in obtaining fair treatment for the outport fishermen of Newfoundland. Considering that Coaker was somewhat of a role model for Joseph Smallwood who became Newfoundland's first Premier after it joined Canada in 19499, it seems clear that, through his major role in the FPU in Trinity Bay, John Loder's legacy includes a significant contribution to the betterment of outport life in the Random Island area and Trinity Bay in the early 20th century. | Unfortunately, John's health started to decline shortly thereafter, and he passed away in Snook's Harbour in August 1916 at age 65 years.
