A Royal Canadian Navy Historical Project

In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar 

SHUSHACK, Egnace (Boots / Egi) - It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Egi at the age of 94. He was the beloved husband of the late Esther Yapps. He leaves behind his cherished children Don (Jasmine) and Maureen (Kurt), as well as his adored grandchildren Brittany (Sean), Kelbey (Eireann), Dennis and Colin along with many nieces and nephews. Egi was born and raised in Wabigoon (Kenora) Ontario and moved to Victoria to serve for 25 years in the Royal Canadian Navy and retire as a Chief Petty Officer. He worked for 19 years for the City of Victoria as the Maintenance Supervisor and was beloved by everyone he met. He always had a smile on his face, a question to ask or a cup of coffee to offer. When he was not out puttering around in his yard, he could be found out on the water fishing, always looking for that "big one". Special thanks to Bonnie, who provided such love and support to Egi and his family during his time at Broadmead - (Dearie) you will always have a special place in our hearts. To the caregivers who helped to take care of him, thank you for your kindness and care. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 10 a.m. at First Memorial Funeral Services (4725 Falaise Drive, Victoria). (Victoria Times Colonist 27 Apr 2019)
