My deepest sympathies to Laura, her family and friends in the loss of her father. Dads are very special and I can attest that Laura's dad Robert has passed so many great traits and values onto Laura. Take care. Shawn

For years, the friendship between the Eagelson and Pethick familes has been a strong one, with many wonderful memories of times shared together. I probably spent more time at the Eagleson cottage than I did at my own, across the street, during summers at Lake Simcoe. Knowing Mr. and Mrs. Eagleson (still can't say Cam and Peggy!) has been a wonderful blessing in my life which I will always treasure. Mr. Eagleson's humour, his kindness and helpfulness, his work ethic, and above all, his deep, deep love for his wife and family have set him apart as a very, very special man...a blessed man. We will all miss him so much. Robert Cameron Eagleson has left an enduring example and an abiding legacy to his family and friends. You will all be in my prayers as you both celebrate the life of and grieve the loss of this "giant" of a man, who has stood tall in so many ways!
