Stanley GOLVIN
By Philip MASS,
Thursday,
July 3, 2003 - Page A26
Businessman, husband, father, and grandfather. Born August 22,
1918, in Kielce, Poland. Died May 5, in Toronto, of an apparent
heart attack, aged 84.
Stanley GOLVIN was a man who had a strong impact on others: individuals
who literally owe their lives and their livelihoods to him; countless
Friends, colleagues, and employees to whom Stanley was a mentor
and a benefactor.
Not that Stanley was always an easy guy to be with. He was complicated
and a man of many contradictions. He was exacting in his expectations
of himself and others. Even so, he commanded unqualified loyalty,
affection, and respect from even those of whom he was most relentlessly
demanding. On the whole, we will remember Stanley fondly for
his penchant for ideas and for his unwavering qualities of generosity,
loyalty, courage, and just plain smarts.
Stanley's life was marked forever by the devastation that the
Holocaust brought to what had been a rather commonplace life
in Poland. Stanley spent most of the war in the Auschwitz concentration
camp. Stanley managed to survive years in the camp even as he
put his life in jeopardy time and again to bring food to other
starving inmates and to help fellow prisoners escape. Astonishingly,
he then managed to escape himself. This period in Stanley's life
was not one that he could put behind him easily, nor did he wish
to; he did his part in memorializing the Holocaust in several
ways, including a video testimony as part of Steven Spielberg's
Shoah initiative.
Stanley emerged from the war, like so many others, without a
country, without a home, without an intact family, and without
material resources. He did, however, come away with one thing
of incalculable value: a worldwide network of devoted Friends
with whom he shared a common experience that only he and they
could truly comprehend.
Not long after the war, Stanley came to New York, determined
to achieve personal security. In New York he met Sharon
GREEN
who soon became Sharon
GOLVIN.
They set roots in Sharon's home
city of Toronto and Stanley, with a partner, opened a furniture
store. The business flourished and developed into an impressive
chain of outlets. Still restless, Stanley then set out to build
the real estate business: that was his passion and is his legacy
to his children.
Meanwhile Stanley's family flourished as well, with the birth
of Stuart and Ilene and the eventual establishment of their own
families. Then, in 1992, came the second tragedy of Stanley's
life: the passing of Sharon. And yet, for a second time in his
life, out of devastation came rebirth. Ella
LOTEM, who Stanley
had first romanced in Poland some 45 years earlier, moved to
Toronto from Israel to marry him. A softer and mellower Stanley
started to allow himself to sit back and enjoy some of life's
pleasures, particularly his five grandchildren who adored him.
Stanley shared with me recently that he never could have believed
that he would live so long. He was truly amazed by his long and
fruitful life, grateful for the "mazal" that had been his companion,
and I believe he was now resigned that his time had come. As
Stanley would say, "I'm on overtime now."
When Stanley's four-year-old grand_son Benn was told that his
Zaidy had died, Benn responded uncertainly, "But he'll be alive
again, right?" Intent on having Benn understand the situation,
we lost sight of the wisdom in his magical thinking. Indeed Zaidy
will be alive again in a very real sense as Stanley's memory
and his spirit remain alive and continue to guide us for ward.
But before we could affirm this notion with Benn, he uttered
simply, and in a soft voice, "But I love Zaidy." As we all do.
Philip MASS is Stanley
GOLVIN's son-in-law.

Hit by bus, bicycling student killed
Police attempting to reconstruct events that led to tragedy in
front of high school
By Ken KILPATRICK
Wednesday,
September 17, 2003 - Page A18
Burlington -- An 18-year-old student was struck by a school bus
and killed while riding her bike outside her high school yesterday
morning.
Jesica Marie
GREEN, a Grade 12 student, was riding her bicycle
across a driveway just 30 metres from the front door of Lord
Elgin High School when she was struck by a school bus that had
just delivered its students and was exiting on to the street.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The area in front of the school was busy with students and motorists
when the accident occurred just after 8 a.m.
"We all freaked out," said a student who was part of a group
standing in front of the school at the time.
"Someone said a person had been hit. She was kind of sprawled
out under the bus. A passing car driver ran over and told us
to call the police. We all stayed back... no one wanted to go
any closer to see what was really going on."
He said it didn't look as if the victim had been wearing a bicycle
helmet.
Three hours later, a truck safety officer and staff from the
Ontario Ministry of Transportation repeatedly drove the bus from
a parking spot in front of Lord Elgin to the New Street entrance.
At one point, a woman stood behind the driver and videotaped
the view through the windshield.
Dan MARADIN, general manager for Laidlaw Transit Ltd., said he
and the company "are deeply saddened by the incident and our
thoughts go out to the victim's family and Friends."
The woman driving the bus -- who has not been identified -- was
traumatized by the accident, he said, and the company is offering
her counselling. "She was a good driver and had been with us
for 1½ years."
Mr. MARADIN said the driver had been trained by Laidlaw. Training
to operate a school bus comprises 40 hours of classroom and behind-the-wheel
lessons.
The Halton District School Board immediately sent its Tragic
Event Response Team into the school to offer counselling to those
who witnessed the accident.
Students who needed help immediately were called to the school's
conference room where the response team waited with cookies and
drinks.
One student, in Lord Elgin as the event unfolded outside, said
they were told to stay in their classrooms and away from the
front of the school.
"The mood inside the school was very sad and there were some
tears," she said.
Marnie DENTON, communication officer with the school board, said
the response team "is there to help students who witnessed the
accident and those who were Friends of Ms.
GREEN.
They will be
at the school for as long as they are needed. They have specialized
training and help our students deal with the shock associated
with tragedy."

Black pride of Canadian track and field
First Canadian-born black athlete to win an Olympic medal was
member of relay team at 1932 Los Angeles Games but could find
work only as a railway porter
By James CHRISTIE,
Tuesday,
November 18, 2003 - Page R9
Ray LEWIS's event in Olympic track and field was officially the
400-metre sprint, a flat race. His enduring place in Canadian
sport history, however, was earned for hurdling a barrier.
Mr. LEWIS, who died in his native Hamilton at age 94 on the weekend,
was the first Canadian born black athlete to stand upon the Olympic
medals podium. He won a bronze medal as a member of the Canadian
4 x 400-metre relay at the Los Angeles Games in 1932.
At a time where racial discrimination was the way of the world,
Mr. LEWIS didn't get to live a hero's life. Viewed today as a
pathfinder for talented black athletes, in the 1930s Mr.
LEWIS
had to all but quit his athletics training because of the demands
of his job as a railway porter with the Canadian Pacific Railways.
He spent 22 years on the trains making 250 trips from Toronto
to Vancouver. To try and stay fit, Mr.
LEWIS would train by running
alongside the rails when the train stopped on the prairies.
"He deserved so much more than he ever received," said Donovan
BAILEY, who won two gold medals at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics
in the 100 metres and 4 x 100-metre relay. "I benefited from
his going before.
"I had the honour and good fortune of having lunch with Ray
LEWIS
and talking with him. I couldn't imagine what it was like in
his day. It was so different. Ultimately, he's one who inspired
me."
Raymond Gray
LEWIS was a Hamiltonian, cradle to grave. James
WORRALL, honorary member of the International Olympic Committee
and Canada's Olympic flag bearer in 1936, recalled the family
roots in the area went back to the 1840s when his great grandparents
escaped slavery in the United States and settled near Otterville,
Ontario
The youngest child of Cornelius
LEWIS and Emma
GREEN, Ray
LEWIS
was born October 8, 1910, at 30 Clyde St. He began running races
for fun at age 9 when he entered as contest at a local picnic.
He began formal training in track and field at Central Collegiate
where the autocratic John Richard (Cap)
CORNELIUS was his coach.
In 1929, he established a Canadian high-school track-and-field
record of four championships in one day, taking the dashes at
100, 200, and 440 yards as they were measured then, and anchoring
the one-mile relay. In 1928 and 1929, Mr.
LEWIS was part of the
Central relay team that won the United States national schoolboy
title.
He briefly attended Marquette University in Milwaukee but returned
to Canada during the Depression and joined the Canadian Pacific
Railway.
Besides his Olympic medal performance with teammates Phil
EDWARDS,
Alex WILSON and Jimmy
BALL,
Mr.
LEWIS was also a Canadian champion
several times and competed in the inaugural British Empire Games
in 1930 in Hamilton and the 1934 Empire Games in London. where
he won a silver medal in the mile relay. Mr.
EDWARDS was actually
the first black athlete to win an Olympic medal for Canada in
1932, getting the 800-metre honour about a half-hour before the
relay with Mr.
LEWIS.
Mr.
EDWARDS, however, was native of British
Guyana, while Ray
LEWIS was a local.
Mr. LEWIS, who in 2001 was awarded the Order of Canada, had a
life-long attachment to the Empire Games, later renamed the Commonwealth
Games. He was an adviser to the bidders who recently sought the
2010 Games for Hamilton and vowed that if the Games were coming
back, he'd be there to greet them at the official opening at
age 100. The Hamilton bid lost out last week to one from New
Delhi, India. He lit the torch during the opening ceremonies
at the International Children's Games in Hamilton July 1, 2000.
Mr. LEWIS wrote an autobiography entitled Shadow Running in which
he detailed his life "as porter and Olympian." He was featured
in a 2002 TVOntario documentary series on racism, Journey to
Justice. "It [racism] felt worse here, because it wasn't supposed
to happen here," he recalled in the video.
Whereas white athletes had an opportunity for coaching jobs after
their careers, Mr.
LEWIS did not. His position as a porter was
one of the few jobs open to men of his race.
"The first time I met him, the Canadian team was on its way to
Fort William, Ontario, for the Canadian championships in 1933.
They travelled by Pullman and Ray was the porter. He couldn't
get the time off to compete. But he did make the 1934 Empire
Games team and was presented to the Prince of Wales, something
that was a point of honour for him. He felt it was something
to rub into all those people who had kept him off teams and out
of places because he was black," Mr.
WORRALL said.
Mr. LEWIS married Vivienne
JONES in 1941, and they adopted two
children, sons Larry and Tony.

Stanley Charles
WIGGINS
By L. Bruce
CRONK,
Wednesday,
December 3, 2003 - Page A26
Family man, band leader, insurer, civic supporter, athlete. Born
August 9, 1925, in Belleville, Ontario Died August 3, in Kingston,
Ontario, of cardiac arrest, aged 77.
Stanley WIGGINS was born in Belleville on the Bay of Quinte in
southern Ontario and lived here all his life -- to the immeasurable
benefit of the Quinte community. His mother, Beulah, was of United
Empire Loyalist background. His father Fred's family was from
County Tyrone, Ireland. Stan loved his parents, and cared for
his mother to the end of her 93 years.
At age 12, Stan was introduced to the trumpet by bandmaster Jack
GREEN of the Salvation Army Citadel Band, a remarkable teacher
who initiated many young people into brass music. Three years
later, at 15, Stan joined the Commodores Orchestra, famed in
Eastern Ontario for its mellow "Big Band" style. He played with
them for 60 years. I recall the dancing slowing almost to a halt
when Stan's silver-toned trumpet would soar into one of the well-known
solos of Bunny Berigan or Harry James, followed by loud applause.
After high school, Stan entered medicine at Queen's University,
until illness forced him to abandon the dream of becoming a doctor.
He studied at the Ontario Business College and then joined the
London Life Insurance Company, first as an underwriter, then
manager. In 1948 he married Margaret
MILLER, a girl from his
own Belleville Collegiate Institute. They and their children,
Joanne, Jim and Carol, formed a close-knit family, camping, cottaging
and skiing together.
Stan was always physically active: a skier, sailor, camper, golfer
and avid swimmer. After he developed cardiac problems, I used
to see him at the Harbour Club in the early morning, swimming
laps. I still look -- but he's no longer there.
Stan had the capacity to listen with complete interest whenever
anyone addressed him. He was, indeed, "Mr. Belleville." His community-caring
spirit was manifested in his service on the board of education
and of the Children's Aid Society, his presidency of the Belleville
Club and the Sales Ad Association.
Stan also gave his musical talents to the Concert Brass and 8
Wing Concert Band, and his own group, the River City Jazz Band.
His daughter told me that as a young man he'd stayed with a relative
in New Jersey, commuting to New York for special trumpet lessons,
and had been offered jobs with several popular bands -- but decided
that the constant on-the-road life of a jazz musician was not
for him. He was more interested in family life, work, and civic
activities. In 1997, Stan received the Quinte Arts Council Recognition
Award "in recognition of outstanding contribution to the arts
in Quinte."
On Saturday, August 2, he led the Commodores for three hours
at the Wellington Waterfront Festival. A close friend and fellow
member of the Commodores, trumpeter Bruce
PARSONS, later said:
"Stan was bound and determined to play that horn up to the day
he died, and
by God, he did."
On Sunday morning, he and Margaret received Holy Communion, and
then, in the afternoon, went with Friends on a Thousand Islands
cruise followed by a massed bands tattoo at Fort Henry in Kingston.
While the bands played Stan's own arrangement of the New Maple
Leaf Forever, a vicious electrical storm broke. Stan hurried
off to the bus to get umbrellas for the ladies. Then he collapsed.
At Stan's packed funeral service, Reverend Peter
JOYCE gave thanks
for Stan's life, and then quoted the song The Commodores always
play at the evening's close -- "We'll meet again, /Don't know
where, /Don't know when, /But I know we'll meet again/Some sunny
day." Amen to that.
L. Bruce CRONK has been a friend of Stan's since their boyhood.

to the end. In his prime, his first 90 years, he could out-walk,
out-carry and out-smile any of us. He loved being in his garden,
or at his sewing machine, caring for his grandchildren or simply
reciting aloud all the street signs while riding in the car.
He cherished life and always faced it with a positive outlook.
He was born in Wierzbice, Poland in 1908, 1910, or 1912 - --
depending on which government document you were looking at. Birth
certificates were expensive and especially difficult to come
by. On my father's 75th birthday, he laughed and said he was
sorry but he could not accept our gift because he was not yet
75. He had been drafted into the Polish Army at 19 instead of
the obligatory 21. The only way he had of pinpointing the accurate
date, was to recall the celebration of his bar-mitzvah.
Born to Naftali and Rivka
HOCHMAN,
Ben was one of a family of
four boys and one girl. After their father had an accident that
claimed the use of his hands, Ben and his brothers took up tailoring.
In time, Ben married Hennele
GREENBERG and they had two small boys, each born while he was away in the army.
War brought bitter times to the Jews of Europe, but Ben had always
enjoyed good relations with his Polish neighbours. In the end,
it was a good Polish family who saved Ben and his surviving brother,
Yosef, by keeping them hidden in their barn for two years. During
this time, two of the family's children were arrested and detained,
but never gave up Ben and Yosef; the brothers, protected by the
family dog, slept each night in the fields far from detection, returning to hiding at sunrise.
The war cost Ben the lives of his parents, his remaining brothers,
sister and sister-in-law, his wife and young sons, but not his
dauntless spirit. Ben and Yosef left Poland in search of a way
to rebuild their shattered lives. When they arrived at the displaced
persons camp in Feldafing, Germany, Ben met and married Fanny
AJDELBAUM, a young woman he had previously known from his old neighbourhood.
Desperate to leave Europe's destruction and mayhem, Ben put his
name on every emigration list he could find. Salvation came from
Canada: Jews with experience and skills in the garment industry
were able to enter Canada. An uncle, Mendel
HOFFMAN, sponsored
him, and so while his only surviving brother finally arrived
in Israel, Benny, Fanny and Marilyn disembarked at Pier 21 in
Halifax and moved on to Toronto, where six years later, Harry was born.
Life was never easy but, by working extremely hard, Ben made
a good living, first as a tailor and, finally, as a smoke-shop
proprietor. Ben never minded working 14 hours a day, seven days
a week and 51 weeks a year, because he was in Canada. Although
he missed his brother, he was forever grateful for the opportunities and Friendships he made here.
He raised two children, Marilyn and Harry, who gave him the loves
of his life -- his six grandchildren: Jenny, David, Adina, Laura,
Mark and Steven. He was a proud and doting grandfather who babysat,
drove them to their Friends and enjoyed watching them in their various activities.
Everyone's life is unique, but survivors of any of history's
atrocities will always have a special place. Regretfully, Ben
and his brother, Yosef, both passed away this same year. Despite
living half a world apart for more than half a century, their bond continues to be unbreakable.
Marilyn HERBERT is Ben's daughter.

Edward James
HOUSTON
By Jim HOUSTON,
Thursday,
November 13, 2003 - Page A28
Lawyer, judge, war veteran, "sports nut," father, friend to many.
Born September 15, 1918, in Arnprior, Ontario Died May 27 in
Ottawa, of colon cancer, aged 84.
Ed HOUSTON accomplished much in his life: He was a bomb aimer
in Lancaster bombers in the Second World War, a prominent lawyer
and judge in Ottawa for almost 50 years, and the National Hockey
League's first arbitrator. But it was his family and Friends,
not his accomplishments, which mattered most to him. Speaking
at Ed's funeral in Ottawa on a sunny Friday in late May, the
Honourable Patrick
GALLIGAN
(Ed's former law partner and long-time
friend) said there are "legions of people" whose lives have been
affected for the better by Ed
HOUSTON.
Ed was a product of his generation -- the people that came of
age in the "dirty thirties," served their country in wartime,
and then made their contributions (and let off some steam) as
civilians in a more prosperous post-war Canada. Born and raised
in modest circumstances in the Ottawa Valley town of Arnprior,
Ed left home in the Depression to find work. He ended up working
in a drug store in Schumacher, Ontario, near Timmins. There he
met a Torontonian, Joe
GREENE, who was to become his best friend
and my godfather. Like thousands of other young Canadians, Ed
volunteered for military service in the Second World War. His
air force days changed his life. In January, 1944, he was shot
down over Berlin, with five of seven aboard perishing, and became
a prisoner of war for 15 months (he escaped in April, 1945).
The veteran's benefits he earned through his wartime service
gave him the opportunity to attend the University of Toronto
and Osgoode Hall Law School, which opened the door to a successful
career and countless Friendships in the legal fraternity. While
at university, Ed met and married Mary
McKAY of Galt, Ontario,
and the first of their two sons, Bill, was born. In 1950 they
moved to Ottawa where Ed began his legal career as an assistant
Crown attorney. Later -- as a lawyer in private practice and
then as a judge -- Ed became known for helping younger lawyers
learn the ropes.
Ed was, by his own admission, a "sports nut." As a participant,
golf was his passion -- and on the course he was known as Steady
Eddie for his straight drives and sure putting. As a spectator,
he was an avid fan of almost every sport. Even in the final days
of his life, when you handed him a newspaper -- another benign
addiction of his -- he would still dive for the sports section,
and be lost in it for hours. On the day before his death, he
rejoiced in the Blue Jays having just swept the Yankees in a
four-game series.
As a judge, Ed had to make lots of tough decisions. However,
the decisions that got him the most publicity took place outside
the courtroom, in his capacity as arbitrator for the National
Hockey
League. In 1991, Brendan
SHANAHAN became a free agent
and jumped from the New Jersey Devils to the St. Louis Blues.
Under the free-agency compensation regime then in effect, Ed
had to decide which player the Blues would have to give to the
Devils as compensation for signing
SHANAHAN.
When
Ed chose defenseman
Scott STEVENS (who captained the Devils to the Stanley Cup earlier
this year), his decision was greeted with a storm of media criticism.
But Ed never second-guessed himself, and moved on.
In a letter Ed received a couple of years ago, another friend
of his, the late Ray
HNATYSHYN, former Governor-General of Canada,
summed up how he will be remembered by family, Friends and acquaintances
alike: "Ed, you have served your community, province and country
with great distinction, and I am privileged to call you my friend."
My sentiments exactly.
Jim HOUSTON is Ed's son.

Maker of men: 'The Chief' ran Kilkoo Camp for Boys
For 25 years, Ontario educator ran a wilderness camp for boys
and then helped launch Toronto's Greenwood College
By Allison
LAWLOR
Thursday,
May 15, 2003 - Page R9
John LATIMER's idea of a perfect evening was visiting with young
campers in their cabins at Kilcoo Camp, telling stories and listening
to tales of their day's adventures.
"You haven't seen the Pied Piper in action until you saw John
in action," said his long-time friend David
HADDEN, the head
of Lakefield College School, a private school in Lakefield, Ontario
"The kids just loved him."
Mr. LATIMER's life-long love of Kilcoo Camp, the Ontario boy's
camp he directed for more than 25 years, began in 1938. At the
age of 8, Mr.
LATIMER arrived at Kilcoo, located on the shores
of Haliburton's Gull Lake, about two hours' drive northeast of
Toronto, as a young camper.
He loved the outdoors and became an accomplished canoeist. After
several years as a camper, Mr.
LATIMER moved on to become a leader-in-training,
counsellor and program director at the camp. Then in the fall
of 1955, he bought the camp and became its director.
Mr. LATIMER, along with his wife
Peggy, directed Kilcoo until
1981. It was as director of Kilcoo that he became known as "Chief"
a name that stuck with him throughout his life. After retiring
from Kilcoo, he had a cottage built beside the camp and remained
active in camp life and as a well-known face to the young campers.
Not long after stepping down as the camp's director, Mr.
LATIMER's
eldest son, David
LATIMER, took over and continues to direct
the camp.
Mr. LATIMER later wrote a book called Maker of Men: The Kilcoo
Story, about the place he loved so much. He also co-authored
a camp-counsellor's handbook. With his wide smile and keen interest
in people, Mr.
LATIMER captured people with his enthusiasm.
"He just had this special gift," said Mr.
HADDEN, who considers
Mr. LATIMER his mentor and the reason he pursued a career working
with young people. "No one I know has had a greater capacity
to love so many people."
Mr. HADDEN added: "He had the ability to touch people's souls,
really I believe that."
John Robert
LATIMER was born on October 13, 1930, in Toronto.
After graduating from Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute in north
Toronto, he went on to radio school. He completed his training
and went to work as an announcer at private radio stations in
Guelph, Ontario, and Stratford, Ontario, before joining the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation in Toronto. At the public broadcasting
corporation, he worked in the film department but continued to
spend his summers at Kilcoo Camp.
"I think he worked to go to Kilcoo," said his long-time friend
John KENNEDY.
At a party of camp Friends, he met his future wife
Peggy
MacDONALD.
The couple married on April 29, 1961, and later had three sons,
who grew up around the camp.
Not long after retiring as director of Kilcoo in 1981, Mr.
LATIMER
went to work in the Ontario government's Office of Protocol.
"He never had any intention of retiring," his wife
Peggy
LATIMER
said. "He always said he didn't like golfing."
As acting chief of protocol, Mr.
LATIMER was responsible for
making sure visits to the province by the Royal Family and heads
of state ran smoothly.
In his role, Mr.
LATIMER and his wife had occasion to meet the
Queen, Prince Philip, the late Queen Mother and several other
members of the Royal Family. The Duchess of York, Sarah
FERGUSON,
spent time at Kilcoo Camp learning how to paddle a canoe.
From the Ontario government, Mr.
LATIMER went to Royal St. George's
College, a private boys' school in Toronto, where he was headmaster
from 1988 to 1996. About three years ago, Mr.
LATIMER and his
son David sat down with Richard
WERNHAM, a lawyer and entrepreneur
who made millions selling his mutual-fund company Global Strategy,
to talk about their dream of starting up a private school in
Toronto.
Together they, along with Mr.
WERNHAM's wife
Julia
WEST, founded
Greenwood College School (the school was named in honour of Mr.
LATIMER's mother, Zetta
GREENWOOD.)
The school, which emphasizes
not only academic achievement but the student's emotional, social
and physical development, opened last September.
"He fully believed in leadership and building leaders," said
David LATIMER, who is the school's director of community life.
"He always believed that through leadership, all kids could be
helped."
An active member of the school, John
LATIMER served on the school's
board of directors and took part in interviewing hundreds of
prospective students for the school's first year.
Having founded the school, which fulfilled a long-time dream,
Mr. LATIMER pursued another goal. He got tickets for his first
rock concert. Sitting in the 11th row of the Rolling Stones concert
in Toronto last year was a spry man in his 70s, said his son
David.
Known as a prankster, Mr.
LATIMER's jokes ran from sending dead
flowers on a birthday, to filling a room full of balloons, to
placing a strange object in a bed.
Mr. KENNEDY can remember finding a plastic rose in his lush rose
garden at his home in British Columbia and opening up his suitcase
after a trip with Mr.
LATIMER to find hundreds of packages of
matches tucked away in shirt pockets, socks and underwear.
About three years ago, Mr.
KENNEDY and his wife joined the
LATIMERs
on a trip to Disneyland in California. The two couples spent
three days going on every ride, and exploring every exhibit.
"He revelled in it -- he loved it," Mr.
KENNEDY said of the
trip. "If there is such thing as an inner child, he had it."
Mr. LATIMER, who died in Toronto on April 22 after a short battle
with cancer, leaves Peggy, his wife of 42 years, their three
sons David, Jeffrey and Michael, and grandchildren Tori, Thomas,
T. J. and Charlie.
"I do not regret leaving this Earth... because my life has been
utterly fantastic," Mr.
LATIMER said not long before he died.

Robert TROW
By Ann SILVERSIDES
Wednesday,
April 2, 2003 - Page A20
Gay liberation and A.I.D.S. activist, health-care worker, musician.
Born November 23, 1948, in Toronto. Died October 21, 2002, in
Toronto, of a brain aneurysm, aged 53.
The last time I saw Robert, he was bicycling north on Church
Street near Queen Street in Toronto, heading to a meeting. Though
he was running late, he graciously stopped to answer some questions
I'd been meaning to ask him about the history of Hassle Free
Clinic, the downtown Toronto sexual health clinic where he spent
26 years, first as a volunteer and later as a long-time staff
member. A few weeks later, Robert was dead, and Canada lost a
knowledgeable, tireless Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome activist
who had kept up his activism until the day he died.
About 400 people attended his memorial service at Hart House
Theatre at the University of Toronto. As an undergraduate, Robert
had performed in that theatre, and he remained a member of Hart
House long after completing two University of Toronto graduate
degrees.
He grew up in Thornhill, Ontario, the eldest of three boys. His
father was an engineer, and his mother a homemaker. Playing piano,
which he took up as a child, was a lifelong passion.
Many gay men are rejected by, or alienated from, their original
family; their gay Friends become their family. Robert was lucky:
he maintained close ties with parents, brothers and extended
family, and kept up with both (heterosexual) best Friends from
high school and a large family of gay Friends.
In the mid-1970s, Robert began working and living communally.
He volunteered on the collective that ran The Body Politic, a
left-wing gay liberation newsmagazine published in Canada but
with a worldwide readership. He wrote articles, mostly about
health-care issues, edited, proofread and did paste-up -- but
also took on the thankless task of distribution manager. He lived
in a series of communal houses with his former long-time partner,
writer Gerald
HANNON, and other Body Politic collective members.
To his Friends, Robert was known as Bunny, and his foibles --
dithering, an aversion to drafts, a highly developed sense of
personal frugality, a propensity to lose his wallet, a talent
for being, as Gerald noted, sprawlingly messy -- were more than
offset by his generosity to all and his wicked sense of fun.
When Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome emerged in the early
1980s, Robert helped organize the first public Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome forum in Toronto on April 5, 1983, which
was sponsored by Hassle Free and Gays in Health Care. He went
on to be a founding member of the Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome Committee of Toronto. After a test for Human Immunodeficiency
Virus was developed, Hassle Free became the first clinic in Canada
to offer anonymous testing. When anonymous testing was eventually
legalized in Ontario, the government adopted Robert's manual
on anonymous testing guidelines.
Robert served on the Ontario Advisory Committee on Human Immunodeficiency
Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and other bodies. "But
first of all, he was passionate about Hassle Free Clinic. He
wouldn't take on anything that wasn't also good for the clinic,"
said Jane GREER/GRIER, his co-worker at the clinic. All the while,
Robert was Human Immunodeficiency Virus positive and coping with
the effects of his condition and medications.
The Ontario Ministry of Health awarded him a posthumous citation,
and Toronto City Council observed a moment's silence in his honour.
Silence was an odd tribute, Gerald noted -- because Robert almost
never stopped talking, whether it was his "up-to-date" gossip
about the Hapsburgs or the Holy Roman Empire, or his appreciative
"Oh, boy!" when one of his Friends served him dinner.
Robert is survived by his partner, Denis
FONTAINE, his parents
Bill and Lucie, his brothers Philip and Christopher, and his
wide family of Friends.
Ann SILVERSIDES is a friend of Robert
TROW.
