5722 JEFFERS, William Cameron ‘Bill’ – Passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family on December 18th, 2015 at the age of 75.
See obituary at http://www.canadianobituaries.com/durham/11894-william-jeffers-december-18-2016
The obit makes mention: “Bill retired in 1993 and then accepted a position as Head of Mathematics for Durham Region Separate School Board. He was proud that six of his students graduated from RMC.”
9884 Dr. Bob Banks had this to say about 5722 Bill Jeffers:
“I was the first one of the six. I was a 15 year old in grade 10 in Whitby in 1966 when he showed up on day 1 of his high school teaching career, just out of the Navy. As well as math class, I played basketball against him (and the other teachers) in high school during Friday scrimmages after school. He had a great influence on me, clearly. Bill and I maintained contact over the years and I met a couple of ex-cadets who were similarly influenced by him, but I do not know their names.”
