Eric Reginald
HOARE On a sunny morning walk with his dog Cody
and wife Rosemary (both beloved), Eric died a beautiful, sudden,
death on March 3, 2003. Eric was born April 8, 1918 and raised
in Orillia, Ontario in a close and loving family. He attended
Queen's University before joining the Tropicana Oil Company and
with his new bride moved to El Centro, Columbia. Returning to
Canada, Eric joined Imperial Oil and raised his growing family
of Geoff, Tony and Wendy. They lived in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver
and Edmonton before he and Roey retired in 1981 to British Columbia's
Sunshine Coast. His retirement years were spent exploring the
love for his wife, children, son-in-law Jerry, step grandchildren,
grandchildren, dogs and cat. Any and all felt his love flood
into them through a hug, a tick removed or biting into one of
his many favourite varieties of cookies. 'Uncle Eck's' wealth
of family includes Peter and Bev
HOARE,
David and Willy
BOHME, Katie
DRINKWATER,
Rob and Pat
GILL, Dave and Marlene
GILL, and their families
in Ontario, Mardee and Bruce
BUDD and family in Alberta and the
FRAZEE family on the west coast. Since Dad always enjoyed a party,
two celebrations of his life will take place, one in Sechelt,
British Columbia and the other in Orillia, Ontario. In lieu of
flowers, donations can be made to the Sargeant Bay Society, Box
1486, Sechelt, British Columbia V0N 3A0 or the Sunshine Coast
Hospice, c/o R.R.8, 308 Skyline Drive, Gibsons, British Columbia

DRISCOLL, Father Joseph Vincent Philip Mary "Jakie"
The Jesuits of Winnipeg and the rest of Canada both mourn the
loss and celebrate the life and Faith of Father Joseph Vincent
Philip
Mary
(Jakie)
DRISCOLL, S.J., who died suddenly at St.
Ignatius Parish Rectory on Sunday, December 14th in his 71st
year of religious life. The third
son of William Francis
DRISCOLL
and Elizabeth (Lilly) Frances
MORRISSEY, he was born in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, U.S.A. in 1916, Father
DRISCOLL first encountered
the Jesuits at Boston College High School where he graduated
in 1933. Experiencing and responding positively to a call to
be a Jesuit priest himself he entered the novitiate in Guelph,
Ontario immediately after completing his high school studies.
As a young Jesuit he followed the long and thorough academic
program at Guelph and Toronto, taught at Regiopolis college in
Kingston, Ontario and was ordained a priest in 1946. He returned
to work in Regiopolis in 1974 as well as served as the chaplain
of the Royal Military College in Kingston. From 1954-58 he was
a Director of the Jean Mance School of Nursing at the Hotel Diču
Hospital in Kingston which was followed by a brief period of
Jesuit administration duties in Toronto. With the exception of
summers spent in graduate studies at Catholic University in Washington,
D.C., and three years in charge of a retreat house near Montreal
(1963-66,) from 1959 on until his death Father
DRISCOLL devoted
his time, talent and spirit to the people of Manitoba. He served
in a variety of capacities including university chaplain, fundraiser
for St. Paul's High School and St. Paul's College, and a member
of the Board of Directors of the St. Boniface Hospital School
of Nursing. He was appointed pastor of Saint John Brebeuf Parish
in Winnipeg in 1972, serving in that capacity until 1980, was
Rector of both St. Paul's High School (1966-72) and
of St. Paul's
College (1981-84). He played an active role in organizing the
1984 papal visit to Manitoba and assisted the wider community
as a member of the B'Nai Brith, Mayor Norrie Award Committee
in 1985 and as the Honorary Vice-President of the Canadian Bible
Society in 1986. Towards the end of his life he worked in the
marriage tribunal of the Archdiocese of Winnipeg and as the Archivist
of the Archdiocese. As well, he was actively involved in both
the College and the High School, including assignments as alumni
chaplain to both, and archivist to the High School.
In addition to the Jesuits of Winnipeg and the rest of Canada,
Jakie will be missed by many others including Dr. Donald and
Rosemary (niece)
CHEW of Niagara Falls, Ontario and Charles
CRESINO
(cousin) of Ashburn, Virginia. Friends who will mourn the loss
of Fr. DRISCOLL come from every generation and sector of life
in Winnipeg and beyond. Active until the very end of his life,
he brought to all those who knew him a personal integrity and
commitment to the Catholic Church and to other faith communities
that will be missed.
Prayer services and Funeral Mass were celebrated in Winnipeg.
Those wishing to do so may make a donation in Fr.
DRISCOLL's
memory to the Father Driscoll Legacy Endowment Fund of St. Paul's
College, 70 Dysart Rd., Winnipeg, R3T 2M6 or to the Fr. Driscoll
Founders' Fund, St. Paul's High School, 2200 Grant Ave., Winnipeg,
R3P 0P8.
