Peter
Blair, M.D., Fellow of the Royal College of
Physicians of Canada
On July 31, Dr. Peter
McCULLOCH died peacefully at home in Hamilton,

devoted father of Peter and his financée Christine
KELLY of Westport,
Connecticut, Paul and his wife
Daphne
BONAR of Toronto, Colin
and his wife Marie (Hooey) of Charlton, New York, and gentle
''Bwana'' of Ian
McCULLOCH. In 1968, just after five years of
marrige, he lost his first wife, Sally Ann
MARSHALL, mother of
Peter and Paul, in a car accident. Peter was the only and dearly
loved son of the late Velma and Peter
McCULLOCH, the much admired
and appreciated son-in-law of the late Charlotte and William
CRAIG of Cambridge (Galt) and the late Grace and Frank

of Oakville. A graduate of the University of Toronto (1964),
he did his residency in Internal Medicine and Clinical Haemotology

Royal College of Physicians of Canada in 1969. This was followed
by two years in Kenya where he was seconded to the University
of Nairobi by McGill University for the Canadian International
Development Agency/Kenya Medical Development Program. While in
Kenya, he taught medical students, served as a medical consultant,
undertook various study projects for the United Nations International
Agency for Research on Cancer and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. Dr.
McCULLOCH returned to his hometown in 1972, becoming the first
medical oncologist and establishing his systemic treatment program
at the Hamilton Regional Cancer Centre. He cared skilfully and
compassionately for his patients, collaborated on research projects,
coordinated provincial clinical trials, mentored colleagues and
inspired students until April 2003 when his own cancer was diagnosed.
He was a Professor of Medicine at McMaster University and over
the years served on many committees locally and nationally. He
was particularly proud of his work as Chair of the Research Ethics
Board of McMaster University/Hamilton Health Sciences. Peter
was an enthusiastic skier, fisherman, photographer and student
of history, science and world affairs, and he travelled extensively
in pursuit of these interests. He will be sorely missed by his
family, Friends, colleagues and patients, and by people whose
lives he touched around the world. A funeral service will be
held at Central Presbyterian Church, 165 Charlton Avenue West

By Mary Patricia Young
LECKIE
Mary Young
LECKIE is Connie's daughter. Wednesday, May 21, 2003
- Page A20
Lieutenant, army medical corps; nurse, mother. Born August 9,
1911, in Worthing, England. Died February 22 in Toronto, of cancer,
aged 91.
If a movie were to be made of Connie's life, it would be an epic.
Born
Constance
Patricia
BOND in a sleepy, seaside English town,
her family moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1914. Her father
Charles was a man of great ambition who traversed the Maritimes
vending cash registers, while mother Blanche managed the staff.
On December 6, 1917, their world came apart when the Mont Blanc
collided with the Imo in Halifax Harbour, creating the largest
explosion in pre-atomic history. Connie, in class at the Sacred
Heart Convent, was blown onto the floor. Her brother Courtney
made his way to Citadel Hill to fight the Germans he assumed
had invaded the city. Charles, stranded in Saint John's, waited
five excruciating days until word came that all of his "Victory
Bonds" had survived.
For many Canadians, the end of the First World War war was the
beginning of the most difficult time in that century. Charles
moved the family to Toronto to begin anew. But the glory days
of wartime prosperity gave way to a tumbling economy that crushed
the ambitions, will and finally life out of Connie's beloved
father. Connie dreamed of returning to Sacred Heart to take her
vows as a nun but as she was by then a nurse, she was the only
employed member of her family. Connie stayed to support her mother
whose income would never again keep pace with her desires.
As her siblings found employment, Connie began to yearn for adventure.
Once a shrinking violet, she longed to break free. The opportunity
came: the Second World War was declared and Connie enlisted.
In basic training at Camp Borden she met Lily
CLEGG, an irreverent
counterpoint who taught her the fine art of having fun. Combat
field-training came next, then they were bound for England. Also
aboard were the men of Essex Regiment, fellow recruits and Friends.
It was Connie's great sorrow to receive those boys back in England
when a pitiful handful of survivors returned from Dieppe.
General Hospital in Sussex was a safe refuge but Connie wanted
more and in 1944 she got it when she and Lily embarked for France.
In the early hours of D-Day-plus-four, they were among the first
Canadian nurses to set foot on Juno Beach. They followed the
action through France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Connie celebrated Victory-in-Europe Day in Trafalgar Square.
After decommissioning, she returned to Toronto to discover that
the pay she had sent home had been squandered by her mother.
So once again, she started over, studying Public Health at the
University of Toronto; she practised as a public health nurse
until 1954.
An unexpected whirlwind courtship was followed by marriage to
Roy YOUNG, a widower with a son. Then, at the age of 45, Connie
gave birth to a daughter.
Even in retirement in Omemee, Ontario, Connie continued to touch
lives: administering meds, bandaging sprains and dispensing love
and humour to all. She never lost her zest for life and in her
70s, Connie drove a fishing boat to town for supplies and in
winter, a snowmobile to visit shut-ins. And she tended the ever-present
live-in, Blanche, until her mother died in 1981.
Widowed at 89, Connie was soon after diagnosed with cancer. She
moved to Toronto to be close to her children and was blessed
with another two years. After a fall, Connie, wheelchair bound,
almost gave up. Then the family discovered her old friend Lily
was alive in a Toronto nursing home. The two were reunited and
shared a month of memories. But on Christmas morning, Lily died
and two months later, cancer took Connie.
Constance Patricia was a remarkable woman. For those she touched
she will never die. Her spirit is irrepressible.

Mississauga man arrested in stabbing death of wife
By Erin CONWAY-

Thursday,
December 18, 2003 - Page A17
A Mississauga man was arrested in the death of his wife after
she was found stabbed at their home early yesterday morning.
Zofia BONDER, 45, died shortly after arriving at hospital with
a fatal stab wound to her chest.
Her husband, Maciej
BONDER, 46, was found at the family home
with self-inflicted stab wounds.
He was treated for the minor injuries and released from hospital
into the custody of Peel Regional Police, who were to charge
him with second-degree murder yesterday. He will appear in court
today.
The BONDERs have three children, all home at the time of the
incident.

Family struck by tragedy this Christmas
By Jonathan
FOWLIE,
Wednesday,
December 24, 2003 - Page A8
Matthew BONDER and his sister Michelle sat virtually expressionless
yesterday, describing their lives in the week since they were
wakened in the early morning by the screams of their dying mother,
who had just been stabbed inside their Mississauga home. Matthew,
20, took the lead, saying how important it has been to do anything,
just to trick the mind into believing that life is anywhere near
normal.
Sixteen-year-old Michelle, who called 911 last Wednesday morning,
solemnly agreed. "We just have to continue living like we did
two weeks ago," she said. "We're just going to have to get together
and work as a family."
The two are not only grieving the loss of their 45-year-old mother,
Zofia, but having to make sense of the fact that their father
has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with
her death.
Matthew and his sister say this is not the time to judge or lay
blame. "You have to look through both sides of the story," Matthew
said in a voice far too soft and gentle to match his hulking
frame.
"What my father went through, or my mother -- the mind is a sensitive
thing," he continued. "Wrong things can be said at the wrong
time and you cannot have control over your own body, your actions."
That response lacks the anger and passion one would expect. Perhaps
it is because he is training to be a police officer, and has
learned that tepid, calculated reactions are often the most fruitful.
Or perhaps he saw how the stress of the family's financial problems
was causing his parents to snap at each other, and he believes
it is possible no one is really to blame for what happened.
As he spoke through a vacant stare, it was apparent yesterday
that the 20-year-old was not ready to revisit the memories of
last week.
He would have been doing just about anything else, had a giant
problem not resulted from an already grim situation. About two
weeks before his mother died, the
BONDERs received a notice from
the bank threatening a power of sale on the house where they
have lived for the past 15 years. The family also owes a sizable
amount in back taxes to the city, and recently had to return
their two cars because of financial problems.
Matthew, Michelle and their nine-year-old sister Andrea are all
in school, so the only reliable income the family now has is
coming from their godmother, a close family friend who also lives
in the house and is caring for the children.
Given the size of the mortgage, and the fact that the godmother
needs to support everyone, it's almost inevitable the family
will soon have to move. To ensure this does not happen, Peel
Regional Police have established a trust fund. Donations can
be made at any TD Canada Trust branch to the
BONDER
Family
Trust
Fund.
"I see the immense potential these children have," Acting Det.
GIOANNETTI said yesterday, explaining why he has taken the family
under his wing.
"The debts that are on them are heavy. These children shouldn't
be encumbered for the rest of their lives... and have opportunities
taken away from them because of this."
Acting Det.
GIOANNETTI also helped get the Salvation Army and
Victim Services of Peel to provide the family with a proper Christmas.
Both groups combined to provide a decorated tree and gifts for
the family.
This is especially important tomorrow since Christmas Day is
also Zofia's birthday.
Matthew added that Andrea, his youngest sister, has yet to absorb
everything that has happened, and has been looking forward to
Christmas throughout the past week.
"Andrea, she's small; she realizes that Mommy is gone," he said.
"It's affecting her, but not to a great extent because she hasn't
realized."

Sheilagh Ann
McGRATH
By Sean McGRATH
Wednesday,
February 26, 2003 - Page A20
Twin, student of education, artist. Born December 12, 1966, in
Saint John's, Newfoundland Died December 14, 2002, in Ottawa, of
a brain tumour, aged 36.
Sheilagh McGRATH was best known for her kindness, yet she possessed
a hidden heroism, which surfaced in her astonishing courage and
good cheer in the face of progressively debilitating, fatal illness.
She was the quiet one in a family of six talented, attention-demanding
children -- my twin sister.
At the age of 16, Sheilagh was diagnosed at the Montreal Neurological
Institute with an inoperable brain tumour. She had been suffering
from severe headaches for some time. She was plucked from the
torrent of adolescence and subjected to radiation therapy. She
lost her hair -- a profound trauma for her -- and missed the
better part of the school year.
Sheilagh's soft-spoken demeanor concealed a fiercely strong will.
She was determined to conquer her disease. She returned to high-school
and enjoyed four relatively healthy years, graduating and going
on to study Early Childhood Education.
In 1986 our father, James
McGRATH, was appointed Lieutenant-Governor
of Newfoundland. Sheilagh returned to Saint John's and continued
her studies at Memorial University. A relapse of tumour-related
problems led to a coma and near-death. She recovered, but her
weakened short-term memory forced her to drop out of university.
She clung to the dream of going back. The term would invariably
begin without her, but undaunted, she would plan the next.
Her strength of will manifested itself in less subtle ways. In
1987, the Earl of Wessex, then a young Prince Edward of the House
of Windsor, was our guest at Government House in Saint John's.
When the prince requested a quiet night, the staff was instructed
not to disturb him. My parents went out. In her early 20s, with
eligible royalty in the house, Sheilagh had other ideas. She
put on her best dress and joined the prince and his entourage
in one of the State Rooms.
In 1989, her disease progressed rapidly, leaving her wheelchair-bound.
She took a keen interest in painting. The Newfoundland artist
Gerald SQUIRES gave her private lessons. The watercolours she
did under his tutelage are full of light and joy. They not only
express her spirit, but also reflect the special bond that developed
between her and
SQUIRES.
Sheilagh endured multiple surgeries at the Montreal Neuro with
a disarming smile. In 1992 she was moved to the Elizabeth Bruyère
Heath Center in Ottawa. Out from under her parents' roof for
the first time, she thrived. She entertained visitors with Scrabble,
chess, or a stroll through the Byward Market. A one-person cottage
industry in the arts and crafts room, she created her Christmas
presents by hand. She became a member of the Residents' Council
and a persistent advocate of the rights of patients. The elderly
Alzheimer's patients troubled her at first. She came to understand
that she was called to minister to them, to befriend them, listen
to them, or simply reach out and touch them.
In her last year, Sheilagh lost her power of movement, her speech,
and most of her vision. In his homily at her funeral in the basilica
in Ottawa, Father Norm
BONNEAU expressed the paradox of her extraordinary
transformation through suffering: "The more restricted in body,
the freer her spirit; the greater the setback, the greater her
courage; the greater the affliction, the gentler her kindness."
As her physical existence declined, her serenity increased. By
the end of her life she was an entirely other-centered person.
Her death, in the presence of her family, was a definitive "Yes"
to life. With gentleness, grace, and silent resolve, Sheilagh
McGRATH let the world go.
Sean McGRATH is Sheilagh's twin brother.

Susan Florence
BONSTEEL
By Julia SCHNEIDER
Tuesday,
April 29, 2003 - Page A18
Librarian, mother, grandmother, friend. Born May 25, 1917, in
Simcoe, Ontario. Died February 6 in Stratford, Ontario, of cancer,
aged 85.
I first met Sue
BONSTEEL (née
BEEMER) in my hometown of Stratford
in the early 1980s. She was soon to retire as chief librarian
at the local library and she encouraged me to apply for her job.
Although I didn't get it, I did find a lifelong friend in this
remarkable woman.
Sue was a mentor before mentoring became a common concept; she
was also a role model for her times.
She exemplified how a civic-minded woman could be completely
her own person, full of Charlotte Whitton wit; how a lover of
adventure could fill the traditional role of minister's wife
and mother of four children, and how someone full of compassion
could totally eschew the sentimental. She seemed to regard her
support for the arts, charities and environment more as common
sense than duty (what would we do without them?) and her lifelong
pursuit of learning came as naturally as breathing.
Sue went back to school when her children were growing up, completing
her master's degree in library science at University of Western
Ontario before going back to work. In many ways, librarianship
with its promotion of literacy and literature, communication
and contemplation -- was an ideal job for her. Both before and
after she retired, Sue was a big draw at the library, whether
talking about a new book discovery, a new place, or a promising
author.
She was a local cultural resource, always on the intellectual
move, creating conversation wherever she set down.
After she retired, Sue really went to work, continuing her omnivorous
pursuits. She served on the Stratford City Council for a number
of years, was a founding member of the Stratford Civic Beautification
and Environmental Awareness Committee, and she also travelled
extensively.
Although I did not see her often in recent years, her welcome
was unfailing. "Where are you now?" she'd ask, and then she'd
fill me in on her recent travels and where and how her children
were. (Her husband, Richard, had died suddenly one evening while
taking out the family dog.)
One did not have to explain to Sue the lure of far-off places.
When young, she had thrilled to a posting with the World Council
of Churches in New York City, but she really took off in later
life. She travelled to China shortly after Tiananmen Square,
sailed to many parts of the world on ecological adventures and,
a blink after 9/11, set off for Egypt. "I'll have to die anyway,"
she said, "so why not on the Nile?" She also spent six months
volunteering in Nepal, and came back amused at how her silver
hair had become a hot topic of conversation for the dark-haired
Nepalese.
Sue was the mistress of her emotions. The only time I saw her
noticeably shocked was when we heard news of the death of actress
Susan WRIGHT and her visiting parents in a Stratford house fire
over Christmas in 1991.
The only time I remember her solidly disapproving of my actions
was at the theatre one evening. The man next to me had draped
his smelly stocking feet over the chair in front of me and I
had a laughing fit; not, apparently, appropriate decorum for
her guest at the theatre.
I wish Sue had been spared some of the things life sent her:
a decade ago, the macular degeneration that left her unable to
read. And then, a year ago, the cancer diagnosis that made some
of her final days a torment.
Sue once said to me that each new day lived is an affirmation
of life. That's what we have to think of now, until we can get
beyond the sadness at Sue's absence from this world that was
her vast and endlessly fascinating classroom.
Julia SCHNEIDER is a friend of Sue
BONSTEEL.
