In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
Webmaster's Note: Though I am not 100% certain, I believe that the Jack Heath in the Second World War photo in the upper left is that same as the John Richard (Jack) Heath in the obituary and the upper right photo.
Served in the RCN 15 Jan 1940 - 14 Jan 1965
HEATH, John Richard (Jack) - In loving memory of John (Jack) Richard Heath, who passed away peacefully in Victoria on January 19, 2010. Born in Carbon, Alberta on March 25, 1921, Jack proudly served his country as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces during the war from 1939 to 1945 and continued with the RCN until 1965. Before retiring to Victoria he worked with Crown Forest in Campbell River, B.C. as a millwright from 1967-1985. Jack is survived by his sister Jean of Victoria. He will be deeply missed by daughters Pat (Shawn) and Maureen (Dan), and grandchildren Devin, Sean and Jillian (Nicholas). Rest in peace. You will be in our hearts forever. The family would like to thank the wonderful care Dad received during his last hours. Nursing staff Sally, Heidi Shelley and Katie, you were truly amazing. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Haiti. Dad and Grandpa, we will always remember you Forever Fishing, Forever Hunting" A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. (Victoria Times Colonist 23 Jan 2010)
