We were saddened to receive the following notice of Dr. John Hastings' death
from Dr. Harvey Skinner (Chair, Department of Public Health Sciences Faculty
of Medicine, McMurrich Building University of Toronto):

 "Dr. John Hastings was born in Toronto, completed his undergraduate and
medical education at the University of Toronto, and then began an
outstanding 37 year academic career in the Faculty of Medicine. John was
instrumental in creating the "second generation" of public health education
and research when the School of Hygiene joined the Faculty of Medicine to
form the Division of Community Health in 1975. He was appointed the first
Associate Dean, and served two terms in that position. John was known for
integrating up to
date research techniques with graduate education in public health, for
laying the groundwork for community health centers as an integrated model
for clinical and community health services, and for encouraging faculty and
students to be advocates for health and social reform. A dynamic teacher in
the classroom and in the community, John was awarded the Alumni Faculty
Award in 1989. On the national and international front, he was widely
recognized for his leadership in public health.

John was a very active member of Canadian Public Health Association and
served as its President for 1997 and 1998. John was a dynamic leader,
teacher and mentor in public health - indeed he was a powerhouse of
intellectual creativity, innovation and inspiration. He will be fondly
remembered by all of us."

He died very suddenly Wednesday, August 11, 2004 of a heart attack at the
age of 76.
Our condolences to Dr. Hastings' family and colleagues.
