A memorial service will be held Tuesday in Tillsonburg for Jane and Phil Esseltine, who died in a Cessna 182H Skylane crash last week.
Cessna 182H Skylane, C-GKNZ
Cessna 182H Skylane, C-GKNZJane and Phil Esseltine were more than just pillars of the community in Tillsonburg.
“They were centrepieces,” said Michelle Quintyn, Jane Essestine’s sister in London. “Everyone galvanized around them.”
The town and the couple’s family are expected to gather Tuesday at the Lions Auditorium for their memorial services after the couple was killed in a plane crash near Parry Sound a week ago.
They had been at their Muskoka family cottage on Lake Isabella and had just taken off from the Parry Sound airport in their own small plane when it crashed Nov. 9. A driver on Highway 400 saw the crash and called 911.
“They were incredible people. They were leaders in business, leaders in philanthropy and leaders in service to the community,” Quintyn said.
The Esseltines owned and ran Agrospray, a farm chemical firm started by Jack Lanthier, Jane’s father, in London and that moved to Tillsonburg in the ’70s.
“They were building on the success as owners of Agrospray,” Quintyn said.
The fertilizer company grew to produce environmentally sound approaches to agriculture. Phil, 59, was president and chief executive; Jane, 55, was vice-president and chief administrator.
Married for 34 years, the couple had a son, two daughters and two granddaughters.
Tillsonburg held a special place in their hearts. Phil had deep roots in Tillsonburg. His mother was a longtime nurse at the local hospital and his late father had been mayor.
Phil served as board chair of Tillsonburg Hydro, director and past president of the Tillsonburg Chamber of Commerce, a minor hockey coach and at Junior Achievement.
Jane was vice-chair of the Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital Foundation, a member of the Tillsonburg Multi-Service Centre and Junior Achievement.
The family has asked that any donations in their memories be made to the hospital foundation.
