TRUSLER, John Edward (Jack 'Tuffy')
On December 3rd, 2002 at Parkwood Hospital, London. Predeceased by his much loved wife, Charlotte, March 2001, and sister Mary MacDonald. Loving father of John (Joan), Jupiter, Florida; James (Elizabeth) Strathroy; Harry, Manchester, New Hampshire; Tamar (Andrew), Toronto; Richard, Sarnia; Charlotte Knight (Ross), Ottawa. Loving grandfather of Halley, Piper and Sasha, Sarah and Julia. Born in 1920, John grew up in Sarnia on Lake Huron. It was here that he developed an early love of sailing. He built his first sailboat at age fourteen. Tuffy, as he was affectionately known, served in WWII as a Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Navy aboard HMCS Sussexvalle, and also with the Royal Navy aboard HMS Snipe. Graduating from the University of Western Ontario, he was called to the Bar at Osgoode Hall in 1948 and practiced law in Sarnia until 1987. His family will remember him always, especially for his entertaining stories; from Camlachie, through The War and many other personal anecdotes.
