EASTAUGH, W. J. (Jack)

In his 92nd year, on Thursday, August 18th, 2005, Jack died suddenly at Headwaters Health Care Centre in Orangeville. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Elizabeth, his daughters Candace (David Steele) and Jennifer (Bob Gray) and his much loved grandsons, Robin and Nick Steele and Drew Gray. Jack lived a creative and rewarding life, drawing on his experiences in the R.C.A.F., the Ontario Department of Corrections, as an elementary and secondary principal in the Etobicoke system, and especially in his over fifty year association with the Taylor Statten Camps in Algonquin Park.

Mourn ye not for my departure,
Mourn ye not,
I go upon a journey…
My journey is eternal.
