Rear-Admiral (Ret'd) Eldon James Healey, CMM, CD, Crossed the Bar On August 26 at the Age of 90
Rear-Admiral (Ret'd) Eldon James Healey served in the Royal Canadian Navy after joining as a cadet in 1953.
He quickly ascended the ranks culminating in the rank of Rear-Admiral. His proudest career achievement was delivering Canada's current fleet of frigates which continue their service today. In fact, he was considered the 'father' of the Canadian Patrol Frigates.
Considered by his family and friends to be a giant in so many ways, his intellect was towering and his story-telling was legendary.
Per his wishes, a private family service will take place at Beechwood Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to his widow at beved12@gmail.com
Fair winds and following seas!
