Isabel STRICKLAND
By Deborah
CRAWFORD
Monday,
April 21, 2003 - Page A14
Mother, neighbour, secretary. Born April 28, 1919, in Toronto.
Died December 30, 2002, of natural causes, in Toronto, aged 83.
Isabel (PATERSON)
STRICKLAND was a wonderful person and all who
knew her realized what a very special lady she was.
Isabel was born in Toronto and raised in Swansea with her older
brother, Tommy. Her father passed away when she was very young,
leaving her mother to raise and support the family. Isabel, at
a very young age, had to learn how to cook, sew, and keep house.
She worked after school and
on Saturdays as a housemaid for several
different families, as well as caring for their children.
Isabel married the love of her life on May 2, 1942: Leonard
STRICKLAND
of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Sadly, their marriage was cut
short by tragedy: he was reported missing in action on February
6, 1944. His plane's last known position was somewhere over Scotland,
and was never found. At the young age of 25, Isabel found herself
a widow, never to remarry.
Isabel, being a strong, determined lady ahead of her time, would
carry on and make a wonderful life for herself. In December,
1944, she bought her own house on Toronto's Dufferin Street.
She lived in this house with her mother, but had to rent out
the top floor in order to make the mortgage payments. Over the
years she had several boarders come and go; some remained truly
good Friends. Her mother, Annie, passed away in her home on January
29, 1947, after Isabel had cared for her through a long illness.
Isabel continued to work hard and rent out rooms in her home.
She had many jobs over the years: working for Thomas Edison Co.,
Bell Canada, Executone Ltd., and even working in a butcher store.
In 1949, a young family with three small children moved in next
door to her. She became a very close friend to this family, helping
them out by providing clothing and food on many occasions. By
the summer of 1955, the family had three more children and was
in turmoil. The mother had left the family, leaving the father
with six children to care for. Isabel agreed to care for one
of the children -- me -- on a temporary basis. Unfortunately,
because of the complete break-up of the family, I was not able
to return to my parents. Eventually, Isabel became my legal guardian
and raised me just as though I were her very own daughter. I
lived with Isabel for 20 years, and she was a loving, caring,
supportive mother to me.
At the age of 59, Isabel took on a full-time job in her community
working for Member of Parliament Charles
CACCIA, as his constituency
secretary for the Davenport riding. This job was well-suited
to Isabel as it consisted of helping people with their problems.
She had to learn many aspects of many social issues such as immigration,
welfare, and the old-age pension. In October of this past year,
Isabel was awarded The Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal for her outstanding
contribution and service in the riding of Davenport.
Isabel took on this job with great conviction and with the utmost
patience, and worked for Mr.
CACCIA for 16 years, retiring at
the age of 75. One year after she retired, she became quite ill
and had to give up her home. She bought an apartment in Etobicoke
and lived there for approximately four years until her health
continued to fail. She spent the last three years in a nursing
home until she passed away.
One would think that being a widow at such a young age and never
remarrying, would perhaps lead to a lonely life, but not in Isabel's
case. Isabel had a wonderful sense of humour and loved to tell
stories (and she had many to tell). People used to say to her,
"You should write a book," but this was not to be. Instead,
she fulfilled her life by helping so many others, giving us the
most precious thing of all: her time.
Deborah is Isabel's daughter.

Three cheers for a funny fellow
Like his hapless Canadian hero, he often found himself in hilarious
situations
By Carol COOPER
Special to The Globe and Mail Thursday, June
12, 2003 - Page R9
Once in the middle of an interview at the Toronto airport, writer
Donald JACK left to fetch a document from his car. Notorious
for a sense of direction so poor he found it difficult to navigate
through a city park, let alone the airport's massive parking
lot, Mr. JACK took so long to find his vehicle that by the time
he returned the interviewers had gone.
Like Bartholomew Bandy, the hapless hero of The Bandy Papers,
Mr. JACK's eight-volume comic-novel series describing an Ottawa
Valley boy's adventures during both world wars and between, the
author often found himself in hilarious situations, made the
more so by his telling.
A three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for
Humour, Mr.
JACK died last week at his home in England. He was
Listeners were reduced to tears of laughter by his tales of construction
disasters while having a villa built in Spain; a house sale falling
through on closing day; and an aging bright yellow car named
Buttercup, whose sun roof shattered soon after it was searched
for drugs at the Spanish-French border, showering Mr.
JACK with
glass, insects and rust.
Once, while being toured with his daughter around the offices
of his publisher, McClelland and Stewart, Mr.
JACK entered the
boardroom and shouted with surprise. There on the carpet lay
a large amount of dog excrement left by an employee's pet. In
his Bandy-like way, the writer very nearly stepped into it.
"If you could choose one author out of the entire world who during
a visit to his publisher would stumble across this, it would
be Donald JACK," said Douglas
GIBSON, president and publisher
of McClelland and Stewart, who knew the writer for more than 30
years.
"Things would go wrong for Don, very seldom caused by himself,"
said Munroe
SCOTT, a close friend of more than 45 years. "He
would narrate all this stuff either in person or in a letter
and make it all hilarious, because he always saw, in retrospect
at any rate, the funny side of things. You'd be doubled up with
laughter."
Despite Mr.
JACK's incident-prone nature, it would be a mistake
to see Mr.
JACK as a buffoon, said Mr.
SCOTT, also a writer.
"He was enormously well read, erudite and could handle the language
with aplomb at many levels. He could make me feel like a Philistine."
Said author Austin
CLARKE, who was Mr.
JACK's neighbour for five
years during the 1960s. "He was a quiet, reserved, retiring kind
of man. You would never have known he was a writer."
Mr. JACK's
Leacock medals came for three volumes of The Bandy
Papers: Three Cheers for Me, in 1963, That's Me in the Middle,
in 1974 and
Me Bandy, You Cissie, in 1980. Published between
1963 and 1996, they still enjoy a loyal following, including
a Web site which draws mail from around the world. Six of the
eight volumes were recently reissued by McClelland and Stewart.
Drawn from Mr.
JACK's fascination with the First World War, the
rural people he met in the Ottawa Valley and his time in the
Royal Air Force, The Bandy Papers feature the blundering Bartholomew
Wolfe Bandy, who in the first volume, Three Cheers for Me, inadvertently
becomes a hero, despite capturing his own colonel by mistake.
Ensuing volumes follow Mr. Bandy's adventures through to the
Second World War. Although devastatingly funny, they also describe
war's horrors and the realities of the home front, and lampoon
war's leaders.
Mr. Bandy encounters and influences historical figures, such
as then British minister of defence Winston Churchill, and generously
offers him use of the altered Bandy phrase "blood, sweat, toil
and tears."
While best known for The Bandy Papers, Mr.
JACK wrote countless
documentary film scripts, stage, television and radio plays,
as well as two non-fiction books: the history of a Toronto radio
station, Sinc, Betty and the Morning Man, and another about medicine
in Canada, Rogues, Rebels and Geniuses.
His third play, The Canvas Barricade, won first prize in the
Stratford Shakespearean Playwriting Competition in 1960. Produced
in 1961, it was the first, and remains the only, original Canadian
play performed on the main stage of the Stratford Festival.
Mr. JACK, however, did not see much of its opening. He left the
auditorium for the lobby. "During the performance, we'd be aware
of a crack of light from a door opening slightly and a white
face would stare through, then vanish for a while, before another
door would open a crack, and the same apparition would fleetingly
appear," Mr. Scott said.
Born on December 6, 1924 in Radcliffe, Lancashire, England, Donald
Lamont JACK was one of four children of a British doctor and
a nurse from Prince Edward Island. After attending Bury Grammar
School in Lancashire and Marr College in Scotland, he gained
enough qualifications to attend London University.
While stationed in Germany with the Royal Air Force in the last
year of the Second World War, Mr.
JACK attempted short-story
writing, but thought he lacked talent. After his mother asked
him, "Isn't it about time you left home?" Mr.
JACK immigrated
to Canada in 1951.
Interspersed with jobs as a member of a surveying crew in Alberta
and a bank teller in Toronto, Mr.
JACK studied at the Canadian
Theatre
School in Toronto run by Sterndale
BENNETT.
There he
wrote two plays, one of which drew praise from theatre critic
Nathan COHEN and a job offer from a film Company. Mr.
COHEN later
wrote Mr. Scott, decrying Canadian theatre's "shameful treatment"
of Mr. JACK, which largely ignored him.
A theatrical background enhanced Mr.
JACK's writing, according
to Mr. Gibson. "His dialogue was terrific and his scene-setting
was excellent."
After leaving the school, with the encouragement of his wife,
Nancy, whom he married in 1952, Mr.
JACK worked in the script
department of Crawley Films in Ottawa. Two years later in 1955,
the company's head, Budge
CRAWLEY, let him go because he thought
Mr. JACK would never make a good writer.
A dry first year of freelancing followed, until in 1957 Mr.
JACK
sold the play version of his novelette Breakthrough, published
in Maclean's, to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Television.
It became the first Canadian television play to be simultaneously
telecast to the United States.
He never looked back. By 1972, A Collection of Canadian Plays,
Vol. 1, which included Exit Muttering by Mr.
JACK, noted he had
written 40 television plays, 35 documentary film scripts, several
radio plays and four stage plays. The works included Royal Canadian
Navy and Canadian Armed Forces training films for the National
Film Board and often demanded a great deal of research.
Mr. JACK wrote with military discipline, beginning at 9 a.m.,
taking tea at 11 a.m., lunch at 1 p.m., tea again at 3 p.m. and
finishing at 5 p.m. "All my life, I swear, that routine never
altered," said one of his daughters, Lulu
HILTON.
Persisting in writing drafts in pen and ink long before adopting
the typewriter and, much later, a word processor, Mr.
JACK often
developed storylines while walking. A 1959 Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation press release explains Mr.
JACK's dedication: "My
self-discipline is to keep reminding myself of how lucky I am
to be able to be the only thing I ever really wanted to be --
a writer."
During the early 1980s, Mr.
JACK and his wife returned to England
to be near their daughters who had emigrated there, and their
grandchildren. Mr.
JACK missed Canada's open spaces and its classless
society, and visited often.
At the time of his death, he was working on the ninth volume
of The Bandy Papers. He died on or about June 2 of a massive
stroke at his home in Telford, Shropshire, England. He leaves
his two daughters, Maren and Lulu, six grandchildren and one
great-grandchild, a brother and a sister. His wife Nancy died
in 1991.
