Jason Grant Finch
Jason Grant Finch (Jay), at the age of 37, has suddenly departed his earthly residence (Polar Star Lodge) on Wabigoon Lake for a new home within the Heavens, on Friday, January 1, 2010.
Jay was born on October 1, 1972 to proud parents Gail (Alexandriuk) and Grant Finch at the Dryden Hospital. He grew up in the Northwestern Ontario spending all his weekends and holidays at his grandparents’ resort, Polar Star Lodge, located on the shores of Wabigoon Lake.
At the age of twelve Jason made the decision to move back to the resort to live with his father and stepmother Adele on a permanent basis. This was a big decision for Jason at that age as he had to share space with his new step-sister Jacqueline and stepbrother Percy (both from Dinorwic). Jason accepted the challenge and settled into his new relationships where he bonded with his new sister and brother with ease. Under the guidance of his grandfather “Ross the Boss” Finch, Jason quickly learned the tourist trade from the ground floor up.
Jason received his education in both Wabigoon and Dryden, ending with Dryden High School. After working various jobs he finally made the decision to team up with his father in the running of Polar Star Lodge. In most instances Jay could always be found at the resort’s famous covered docks where he took immense pride in his ability to manage the marina.
Jason is survived by his special friend Teressa of Wabigoon, mother Gail (Albisser) of Dryden, father Grant and stepmother Adele of Wabigoon, stepsister Jacqueline and stepbrother Percy of Dinorwic, along with many nieces and nephews across Canada.
At Jason’s request there will be no funeral service. Cremation has occurred and the interment of ashes will occur at a later date.
Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Dryden Hospital Cat Scan Fund through the Dryden Community Funeral Home, 249 Grand Trunk Avenue, Dryden, Ontario, P8N 2X3.
