VEITCH, John (Jack) Francis Stephen
Peacefully, surrounded
by his family on Sunday, the 4th day of May,
2003, in
his 86th year. Devoted husband to the late Louise Mary Burke.
The son of the late William Veitch and Mary Elisabeth (Min) Carroll
of Holyrood, Newfoundland and brother to Anne
and the late George, Elizabeth, Greg, William, James and Fred.
Father to Alma (Larry), Anne (Rolly), Irene (Richard), Louis
(Julie), Brian (Maxine), Ruth (Marty), George (Catharine), Ian,
Mary, Judy, Mark (Cindy) and the late Patrick, Hugh and Paul
Craig. Grandfather to Debbie (Ross), Lisa (Jason), Ryan, Sara,
Nicholas, Anthony, David (Kysha), Christopher, Ben, Jessica,
Danny, Jason, Jennifer, Emily, Devon, Laura, Thomas, Nathanial,
Aynsley, Adam, Jasmine, Shannon and the late Dennis and Jeffrey.
Great-grandfather to Teagon, Kyle, and Calvin.
He will be proudly
remembered and always loved as a man who wanted to help the people
of the world. His work in Canadian and international development
encompassed the far corners of the earth including St. Albans
and Marystown in Newfoundland; Inuvik and all the communities
of the North West Territories and Nunavut; Kuching on the island
of Borneo; Thabana di Mele in the mountain kingdom of Lesotho,
southern Africa; Island Lake in northern Manitoba; and Lampang
in Thailand. He finally settled in what became our family home,
Ottawa.
Our father took the challenges faced by the people of
these far flung communities and made them his own. His purpose
was to work with them to achieve a higher standard of living
by forming cooperative units. When he left a community, it was
in the hope he had made a difference in their lives and for many,
he had. Our father placed value in people, not things, and he
took pride in the fact that 40 years after his departure, the
people of the community of Inuvik remember and speak fondly of
Jack Veitch. We all saw his life long traits of courage, perseverance
and eternal optimism which allowed him to face these challenges
and succeed where others had failed. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment
was the range of people he successfully made contact with. He
was able to find the words that closed the distance between the
man from the outports of Newfoundland and the Inuit of Canada's
arctic circle or the Iban people in the jungles of Borneo on
the equator.
Friends may call at the Garden Chapel of Tubman
Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road, Nepean (between Bayshore

the 27 years of military life. They survived all the separations
and changes, the laughter and tears, together. Home was always
wherever Dad and Mom were at the moment. They chose Petawawa
to retire and enjoyed having "roots" at last. He's
wearing a red shirt, just for you, Mom! A private family celebration
was held under the good care of Malcolm, Deavitt & Binhammer
Funeral Home, 141 Renfrew Street, Pembroke, Ontario, followed
by cremation. As an expression of sympathy, donations to the
