JOHN WILLIAM BEESTON April 6, 1933 – September 12, 2016 Peacefully at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto and surrounded by love, John (Jack) Beeston passed away on September 12, 2016. He will be greatly missed by his wife Jane (Weber) Bunting; three daughters Lori, Carolyn (Al) and Jennifer; brother Don; step-children Doug (Karen) and Annie (Bruce); and five grandsons Derek, Ryan, Cassidy, Kieran and Luka. Following his service as a teenager in the Canadian Navy in Korea, Jack followed his passion for working with children to the teaching profession where he spent 25 productive years with the Toronto Board of Education – primarily as a Principal of Fern Avenue, Parkdale, Sunny View and West Prep schools. After retiring, he spent time teaching English in Prague. Jack’s love of the water led him to many blissful trips on his sailboat, “Moby Jane”, which he skippered from Toronto to Fort Myers, Florida and around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. He also enjoyed many other trips exploring the world and learning about different cultures and traditions. The family would like to express its deep gratitude for the excellent care provided to Jack at Sunnybrook Hospital and the Veterans’ L Wing. Visitation will take place on Thursday, September 15th between 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Avenue West. A celebration of his life will be held on Friday, September 16th at 11 a.m. at Christ Church Deer Park, 1570 Yonge Street. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.
