Husband of Mary (nee Wright); father of Pete (Dawn) of Fergus, Dave, Scott (Shannon), Kent (Josie), all of Wiarton. Grandfather of, according to Zeke, “the best looking bunch of grandkids you've ever seen“: Zeke (Crystal), Amanda, Melissa (Scott), Drew, Tyler, Davyn, Anna, Sam, Erica & Jack. Zeke was owner/operator of Jack Myles BA/Gulf Station for 25 years. He was a proud member of the Wiarton District Volunteer Fire Department for 35 years. Zeke appreciated his many connections with the community. Literally - “Jack of all trades - master of none“. He enjoyed his variety of endeavors and his career as a sailor, gas attendant, ambulance & hearse driver, fire fighter, car washer, grave digger, labourer, apple picker, stone mason, janitor, gardener & grandfather. A hard working and honest man; his quick wit & smile will be missed by all of us. At Zeke's request there will be no service, however, friends and family are invited to attend a gathering at the home of Kent and Josie Myles, 114 Division Street on Saturday October 13th, 2007 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm.
