This is for you,
For the mother, wife and grandma we love,

what more women should be.

love and devotion to her family was marked by strength and guidance.
We respected and admired you so.

Derry NOVAK
Suddenly and peacefully at home in Burlington early on Saturday,
April 26th 2003 in his 84th year. Derry was born on October 20th,
1919 in Olomouc, in what was then Czechoslovakia. He came to
Canada, by his own wits and means in 1939 to join his parents
who had led the way. He then joined the Czech Army in Canada
and served overseas. Following World War 2, Derry pursued undergraduate
studies in political theory at the University of Toronto, and
later at the London School of Economics. In his actions, in his
studies, and finally in his profession as a great teacher of
politics and philosophy at McMaster University (Department of
Political Science), where he served as Chairman of the Department,
and later as Professor Emeritus, Derry was a lover and defender
of liberty and democracy, a fierce critic of all institutions
and systems of power which exploited and abused those less well
equipped to advance their own interests in society. He was a
man of learning and of peace, and, by his example - as in his
lectures - he showed how the truly good life could be led. Derry
will be deeply missed, as he was so dearly loved and cared for
by his wife of 29 years, Nancy. Derry is also survived by his
daughter Lee (Stan
KANAROSKI,) grandchildren Liz and Katie
KANAROSKI,
son Daryl (Brian
HARRISON, step-children Andrea
JOHNSTONE
(John
SHELLEY) and Brad
JOHNSTONE, step-grandchildren Elicia
JOHNSTONE
and Jesse JOHNSTONE. In the strange and unexplained way that
life can often unfold, Derry's first wife, Doreen, died on the
same morning as he. In lieu of flowers and services of any kind,
and in accordance with his often expressed wishes, please remember
Derry by sitting in contemplation listening to the music of Beethoven,
preferably a symphony. If desired, contributions can be made
to McMaster University, c/o The Derry Novak Award, Main Street
West, Hamilton, Ontario, L8S 4M4. Obesa Cantavit

NOVAK,
Doreen
In Niagara-on-the-Lake, on April 26, after a long struggle with
Parkinson's Disease and other illnesses, at the age of 80. Doreen
is survived by son Daryl, and Brian
HARRISON of Niagara-on-the-Lake,
daughter Lee, and Stan
KANAROSKI, grandchildren Liz and Katie
of Canmore, Alberta. In a bizarre twist of fate, Doreen and her
former husband, Derry
NOVAK of Burlington, Ontario died within
minutes of each other. Born in England she taught in the former
Czechoslovakia, alternated between England and Canada, eventually
settling in southern Ontario. Over the ensuing years there were
numerous extended periods abroad and in later years in Naples,
Florida. Doreen had long and varied professional and volunteer
roles in education, the arts, and health care. A memorial gathering
and reception will be held at the McMaster University Faculty
Club at 3: 00 p.m. Monday, May 5, 2003. Donations in Doreen's
memory to the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra or McMaster University
are appreciated.
