    Dr. John Alexander Cameron

    May 19, 1936 - September 26, 2018

    John died peacefully on September 26 at St. Peter’s Hospital in Hamilton. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Frances. He will be missed by his sons Richard (Alexa), Michael (Katherine) and James (Jason), and his five grandchildren Atticus, Audrey, Oona, Alasdair and Inigo. John was born and raised in Toronto. He graduated with a BA from Victoria College, University of Toronto and obtained his PhD in nuclear physics from McMaster University in Hamilton. He won a Sloan Fellowship to teach at Corpus Christie College and to pursue research at the Clarendon Laboratory in Oxford England. Returning to teach at McMaster he did so for 35 years spending part of that time as the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies, a position he really enjoyed. John was active in Westdale United Church and in the United Way Campaign. John loved sailing, camping and the many years spent at the family cottage on Lake Temagami in northern Ontario. Music played a large part in John’s life. As a boy in Toronto he joined the junior choir of St. Margaret’s Anglican Church, a requirement if one wanted to play on the church hockey team! John was a long time member of the choir at Westdale United Church and sang for several years as a member of the Te Deum Singers under the leadership of Richard Birney-Smith. The Celebration of his Life will be held on Saturday, October 13 at Westdale United Church in Hamilton, at 11 am followed by a reception. Interment will take place in Mount Pleasant cemetery in Toronto at a later date. In lieu of flowers, if you wish, donations may be made to Westdale United Church or Medecins sans Frontieres. http://www.westdaleunited.ca/ http://www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/
