Obituary of James Streeter

James (Jim) H. Streeter (1940 - 2014) Jim died on November 4, 2014 of complications from ALS, in his beloved home, with his cherished friend and lover Eadaoin Elliott by his side. Predeceased by his parents Ted Streeter and Noreen O'Neil, and his sister Mary, he leaves behind his daughter Jane Sutherland, his daughter-in-law Tanith Conley, his son Paul, his grandchildren Tanisha, Paul Jr., Imani, Ruby and Zoey, his cousins Ann and John Burkus, and John and Joan O'Neil and his friend and former wife Betty-Ann Streeter. A teacher par excellence, a mentor, a faithful friend to so many, a wonderful storyteller, a great host, Jim will be missed and mourned by his many, many friends, including his colleagues at Seneca College where he taught for over 4 decades, his neighbours, his friends at Better Living, and the many teachers he mentored. He will be remembered fondly by the myriads of students who are the better from having sat in his classroom. Jim has set up a generous bursary in his Will called "the Jim Streeter Bursary" for SENECA COLLEGE, to be used in the LIBERAL STUDIES PROGRAM. In lieu of flowers, donations to this fund are welcome, as are donations to Sunnybrook ALS Research. Many thanks to the team at the Sunnybrook ALS Clinic for their care and support. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at ST. BONAVENTURE CHURCH, 1300 Leslie St, Toronto on November 11, at 10:30 a.m. followed by a reception in the Church Hall to celebrate Jim's life.
