By Karyn PERCIVAL-
BERRY,
Monday,
October 27, 2003 - Page A16
Husband, father, grandfather, healer. Born March 29, 1933, in
Toronto. Died February 23 in Toronto, of cardiac arrest, aged
Dad had an unconventional beginning, one of 13 children growing
up in Aliston, Ontario He spent many summers working on his grandfather's
farm. He learned to ride by unhooking the plow horses, mounting
bareback and hanging on for dear life.
Outspoken even as a teenager, he was dismissed from high school
when he refused to compromise his word to a school principal.
Out in the work force, he drove freight trucks in Northern Ontario
and Quebec for several years.
He later joined the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, qualifying
as a paratrooper despite his fear of heights. He was also a highly
qualified marksman, and rose to the rank of sergeant in the Korean
War.
In fact, he rose to that rank twice, after a disagreement with
a British officer who insisted on a forced march during the hottest
part of the Japanese summer. Dad refused to subject his unit
to this unreasonable command, which caused him to be demoted.
He was later exonerated, and rank returned. He was later wounded
in the left shoulder, and because of his injury he was sent home.
Dad later was employed as a railway fireman, stoking the steam
engines typical of 1950s trains with coal. He rose to the level
of engineer and kept his fondness for trains throughout his life.
When diesels were introduced Dad decided it was time expand his
horizons.
He returned to high school, completing three years of work in
one year. After graduating, he entered pre-med at the University
of Toronto, where he met and made many lifelong Friends, including
classmate (and soon to be loving wife), Hillary.
Bill and Hill later had two children, David and Karyn, and Bill
joined the staff at Centenary Hospital in eastern Toronto in
1971 and began practising nephrology. It was the start of a long
and distinguished relationship with the patients and staff of
that hospital, serving three terms as chief of staff and being
an advocate for all who worked there. He was a fellow of the
Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
He worked hard for his family and took delight in surprising
them with expressions of his feelings. When I was about 7, Dad
came home from work, and beckoned me into his study. He behaved
like a little kid, with a big secret. Pulling out a velvet box
from behind his back, he opened it to show a beautiful necklace,
the first "nice" jewellery he had been able to afford. He then
seriously consulted his seven-year-old, asking: "Do you think
Mummy will like this?" I assured him absolutely. He further humoured
me by asking me to help wrap the gift. He was so proud to be
able to finally give something special to Mom.
Dad's dream was to have a farm of his own, which was fulfilled
when the family moved to Sunderland, Ontario, in 1980. True to
his unassuming nature, two days after we moved, he quietly arranged
delivery of two horses for us, while we were away at a Christmas
party. Dad slyly had us go out to the barn to "show us something"
and there they were. This was typical of his way, letting his
actions speak for him.
Life wasn't always perfect on the farm. On two occasions Dad
figured you could just duck under the rail fence while riding
the tractor. Unfortunately, both times the tractor ended up in
the pond -- requiring him to use his car as a tow truck. Bill
loved the Sunderland farm, and the Muskoka cottage, his dogs
and horses. Although quiet in his outward affections, his big
heart and laugh will be missed by all who knew him.
Dad's passing came quickly and unexpectedly. We didn't have a
chance to say goodbye.
Karyn is Bill
BERRY's daughter.

DE CASTRO,
Mhairi
Angela McLeod (née
FENTON-
McEUEN)
November 30, 1918 - March 19, 2003 Mhairi lived in Ste-Agathe,
Quebec with her parents until she was five, when her mother died.
Her uncle and aunt in Scotland, Dr. and Mrs. Stuart
McEUEN, took
her back with them to St. Andrews, Fife. On the death of her
grandfather Dr.
HUNTINGTON in St. Andrews, the McEuens returned
to Quebec, Montreal, and Lac Ouimet in the Mont Tremlant area.
Mhairi was educated in Montreal and Ottawa, where she was a pupil
at Elmwood School for a while before finishing her education
at a private school in Scotland. She left the United Kingdom
at the outbreak of World War 2, but not before having an adventure
in France driving ambulances. In 1937 Mhairi accompanied the
McEUENs to the Canadian Arctic. Her uncle was conducting research
into the health of the Native people in that area. During World
War 2 Mhairi spent much of her time helping her aunt, Dolly
McEUEN,
run the Ajax Club for British sailors in Halifax. Many comforts,
and brief holiday respites were made available to the sailors
in private homes. As well, the club provided a place to go when
they had leave from their duties on board ship. After the war
the success of this venture produced enough funds to create fifteen
scholarships for young men from the United Kingdom These young
men were unable to attend university because of their service
in the navy during the war. Now, the McEuen Scholarship would
provide them with an opportunity to continue their education
at McGill University. The
McEUENs knew all these scholars well,
meeting them at the dock when they first set foot in Canada.
For many of them the
McEUEN
House became a home away from home.
After the war Mhairi lived at 'Ottir', the house the
McEUENs
built on the side of a mountain overlooking Lac Ouimet, Quebec,
until the late sixties when she and her aunt moved to Ottawa.
Mhairi married her beloved Henry DE
CASTRO in 1976, he died in
1989. Mhairi and her aunt created another scholarship for a Canadian
to attend St. Andrews University in Fife, Scotland, and this
will continue indefinitely. She cared a lot about these students
and loved to hear from them, their progress and successes while
at university and afterwards. Mhairi also maintained her interest
in the Fraser Highlanders of which she was a member. Mhairi will
be remembered for her generosity in providing donations of Canadian
artifacts to Government House and to the Museum of Civilization
in Ottawa, as well as to the Louisburg Fortress and Maritime
Museum of the Atlantic in Nova Scotia. Over the last years after
Alzheimer Disease took away the life she loved, Mhairi has been
cared for by Luci
PEREIRA, her employee, friend, and loving caregiver,
since the seventies. Luci headed the team charged with attending
Mhairi, and deserves our thanks and praise for her devotion.
Also appreciated is the compassion and nurturing of the nurses,
staff, and doctors in the Villa Marguerite. The Funeral Service
will be held at St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church, 125 Mackay
Street, Ottawa, Ontario on Tuesday, March 25, 2003, at 11 a.m.
Arrangements in care of the Central Chapel of Hulse, Playfair

think of making a donation to the Villa Marguerite or the McEuen
Scholarship Foundation.

Marilyn Irma
PERKINS
By Marian R.
HOOD
Wednesday,
March 5, 2003 - Page A18
Conductor, teacher, pianist, organizer, vocal coach. Born March
25, 1933, in Toronto. Died January 2 in Calgary, of liver cancer,
aged 69.
Two opera conductors, a homeless man, a pediatrician, a psychologist,
a teacher, a refugee, a dentist: Marilyn
PERKINS influenced each
of these people.
The habit of helping others showed itself early in a letter Marilyn
wrote to Santa Claus when she was eight years old. She requested
a doll for herself and a teddy bear for her baby brother.
As she grew older, Marilyn continued to consider others' needs.
Marilyn's younger brother didn't like to get out of a warm bed
so, when it was cold, it was hard to get him up in the morning.
Knowing this, Marilyn got up first and draped his underwear over
a chair near the heater.
Marilyn's generosity with time, attention and money extended
to family, Friends, students and acquaintances. She bought coffee,
blue jeans, runners and bus tickets for street people. If someone
needed a car, Marilyn lent hers. Marilyn once bought a piano
for a student whose family could not afford one. When Friends
needed money, Marilyn lent it.
When the city of Calgary could no longer fund a program that
matched needy families with donors of Christmas hampers, Marilyn
stepped in. She ran the Adopt-a-Family program out of Scarboro
United Church, and for 13 years found the necessary donors and
volunteers. It was difficult to say "No" to Marilyn. So great
was her capacity to organize and inspire that the program floundered
in 2002 when liver cancer prevented Marilyn from running it.
Although many people knew Marilyn through her charity work, many
more knew her as a conductor, teacher and vocal coach. In June
of 2002, Marilyn was made a Member of the Order of Canada, for
"her legacy of excellence in music in Alberta."
On the sunny evening of Marilyn's investiture, people lined up
for blocks an hour before the ceremony waiting to be ushered
to a seat in Scarboro United Church, where Marilyn served as
choir director for 44 years. Former students, now greying at
the temples, embraced each other and told stories about Marilyn
as a teacher.
Finding boys interested in choral music was always a bit of a
challenge. When the school needed someone to drive football and
basketball players to games, Marilyn earned her bus licence.
Suddenly football and basketball players began showing up in
Marilyn's choral-music classes.
One boy, who came to the choral class via the band and the football
field, went on to become the general director of the Calgary
Opera.
Marilyn never backed away from challenges. A friend recalls her
striding into the school staff room, in the days when it wasn't
polite to talk about a woman's age, and announcing, "Forty's
not so bad."
She met life head on and always found the things about it that
were "not so bad."
Even during her final illness, she saw having cancer as not all
bad. It brought her closer to her Friends. She had time to say
goodbye and to learn from many people what a difference she had
made in their lives. She retained her sense of humour and her
ability to care for others.
Her bedside became, for some, a place of stillness in their hurried
lives.
As her illness claimed more and more of her independence, Marilyn's
close Friends drew up a schedule so that someone was always with
her.
Marilyn summed up life with the words, "In the end, all that
matters is kindness."
As she brought kindness to the world one person at a time, so
kindness came back to her one person at a time.
Marian R. HOOD is a former student and friend of Marilyn
PERKINS.

JOHNSON,

Joan
Joan JOHNSON (née
WATTS,) whose gentle spirit moved all who knew
her, passed away peacefully at the Northumberland Health Care
Centre in Cobourg, Ontario on Thursday, March 6, 2003. She was
77 years of age. Joan was the cherished wife of the late Dr.
Robert
(Bob)
Herbert
JOHNSON; loving mother of Susan, Wendy,
Gordon, and Douglas; dear sister of Audrey
DALGLISH and the late
Barbara PERRY; and beloved aunt of her nieces and nephews. Joan
will be sadly missed and her memory will be honoured by her sons-in-law
Larry and David and by her daughters-in-law Wendy and Melyssa.
Her grandchildren, Katie, Andrew, and Molly, will hold memories
of their 'Noanie' close to their hearts. Joan lived her life
with unfailing strength and dignity and with quiet good humour.
She served her country in the Canadian Navy during World War
2, achieving the rank of Sub Lieutenant. After she left the Navy,
she studied nursing at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children
School for Nurses, graduating in 1950. It was at the School for
Nurses that she met her future husband, Bob, a pediatrician at
the Hospital for Sick Children. Bob and Joan were married in
1953. Following a year in Boston furthering their respective
careers in medicine, they moved back to Canada, settling in Mississauga.
Bob and Joan lived there for 25 years, raising their children
Sue, Wendy, Gord and Doug. Joan was truly a Canadian pioneer.
She achieved her private pilot's license in her 40s and was an
expert canoeist, which was evident to anyone who visited her
and Bob at their treasured cottage in Georgian Bay. She often
carved paddles for herself and for members of her family and
in her 70s, built a cedar strip canoe which she paddled in and
around the waters of the Bayfield-Nares Inlet. Joan was also
creative and talented, producing whimsical stuffed animals for
her children and grandchildren and entertaining family and Friends
with her all-too-infrequent performances on the piano. During
her last few years, Joan was cared for by her daughter Wendy.
Wendy's selfless compassion was deeply appreciated by Joan and
her family. A Memorial Service will be held at Trinity United
Church (Corner of Chapel Street and Division Street in Cobourg),
on Saturday, March 15th at 11 a.m. Those wishing may make a memorial

He was a daredevil footballer in the days of leather helmets
By Tom HAWTHORN
Special to The Globe and Mail Friday, May 9,
2003 - Page R11
Norris LINDSAY, a teammate of Ormond
BEACH and Bummer
STIRLING
on the storied Sarnia Imperials football team, has died in Petrolia,
Ontario He was 94.
At 6-foot-3, 220-pounds, he was a big man in the era of leather
helmets and earned a reputation for his flying tackles, a daredevil
play that has long since fallen out of favour. In lieu of salary
as a two-way player, Mr.
LINDSAY and his teammates were guaranteed
jobs with Canadian Oil Companies Ltd.
Mr. LINDSAY helped the Imperials win the Ontario Rugby Football
Union champioship in 1933 and 1934 over Balmy Beach, St. Michael's
College and the Hamilton Tigers.
In 1933, the Imperials played host to the 1933 Grey Cup championship
against the Toronto Argonauts. Despite his regular-season contributions,
coach Pat OUELLETTE did not have Mr.
LINDSAY suit up for the
big game, which was won 4-3 by Toronto in the lowest-scoring
Grey Cup ever played.
Mr. LINDSAY was frustrated again the following year, when coach
Art MASSUCCI did not place him on the Imperials' roster for the
Grey Cup final. Sarnia defeated the Regina Roughriders 20-12
at Toronto. Among Mr.
LINDSAY's teammates wearing the three-starred
sweater of the Imperials were Mr.
BEACH, a sensational halfback
kicker Hugh (Bummer)
STIRLING of Saint Thomas, Ontario; rugged
snapper Boob
MOLLOY; and, the speedy Norm
PERRY, known as The
Galloping Ghost.
Mr. LINDSAY, who was born in Tupperville, Ontario, near Chatham
in southwestern Ontario, was also a gifted golfer who entered
the 1940 Canadian Open. "He told me his first shot went out of
bounds, said Pat
SUTHERLAND, a friend. "By the time he was
done, he had shot an 11 on the first hole."
Mr. LINDSAY, an amateur, shot an embarrassing 93 on the par-71
course, following with a 90. The tournament was won in a playoff
by the legendary American golfer Sam
SNEAD.
Shortly after, Mr.
LINDSAY joined the merchant marine and was a radio operator during
the Second World War. In peacetime, he took over the Blue Bay
Lodge near Huntsville, Ontario, which he operated until 1963.
Mr. LINDSAY golfed until late in life. When his local club opened
a new clubhouse, he rented the old one and made it his home.
He died on March 11 at the Lambton Meadowview Villa in Petrolia,

'Galloping Ghost' of Canadian football made five halls of fame
By Randy RAY,
Special to The Globe and Mail Friday, December
12, 2003 - Page R17
Ottawa -- If Gordon
PERRY had one regret following his illustrious
career in Canadian sports, it's that he never competed as a sprinter
in the Olympics.
A glance at the Moncton native's résumé clearly shows why he
never ran for Canada at the Games: He didn't have time.
Mr. PERRY, who died in Ottawa on September 18 at the age of 100,
competed successfully in seven sports. His extraordinary feats
earned him a place in five Canadian sports halls of fame: Canadian
Football Hall of Fame, Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, Quebec Sports
Hall of Fame, New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame and Ottawa Sports
Hall of Fame.
Friends and colleagues have compared him to Canada's Lionel
CONACHER,
who played hockey and football, and American Deion
SANDERS who
was both a baseball and football player. Mr.
PERRY, however,
excelled in football, baseball, hockey, boxing, track and field,
curling and swimming.
As a kid, "all he ever wanted to do was play sports," says his
son Gordon
PERRY
Jr. of Ottawa. "It seemed like he always had
a baseball glove on his hand or skates on his feet. And he could
run like a deer." Born of Welsh ancestry in Moncton on March
18, 1903, Mr.
PERRY went to school in Moncton and Quebec City.
His father Harry, was a composer and musician who played the
organ at a church in Quebec City.
Mr. PERRY, who began his working career in banking and stocks
in Carleton Place, Ontario, boxed as an amateur in Quebec City
and was a goaltender in the Bankers' Hockey League, a highly
competitive loop in the 1920s and '30s that played at the Montreal
Forum. As a sprinter, Mr.
PERRY posted times of 10 seconds and
under for 100 yards.
But he's best known for his role as captain of the undefeated
Montreal Amateur Athletic Association Winged Wheelers that beat
the Regina Roughriders 22-0 in the 1931 Grey Cup game. Small
and quick, and standing at just at five foot eight and 165 pounds,
PERRY was nicknamed the "Galloping Ghost" because of his elusiveness.
He was a four-time Eastern all-star in the Canadian Rugby Union,
precursor to today's Canadian Football League. In 1931, he won
the Jeff Russel Trophy as the player who best combined athletic
ability with sportsmanship. Sir Edward
BEATTY, president of the
Canadian
Pacific
Rail, awarded
PERRY the trophy, which earned
him $200 on top of his football salary of $1,200.
From 1928 to 1934, the Wheelers squad was built around Mr.
PERRY.
"I played both ways," he told The Ottawa Citizen on the eve of
his 100th birthday. "I didn't often sit down, that's for sure."
He once told the Montreal Gazette the secret to his success against
bigger men was that "You can run like hell when you're scared."
There was one time, however, when Mr.
PERRY couldn't run fast
enough.
"He was playing in Montreal against Ottawa and he laughed at
a lineman," recalls his son. "When the teams came back here [Ottawa],
the guy caught up with my dad and he was carried off the field
with three broken ribs. He did not always get away." Mr.
PERRY
often said baseball was his favourite sport, a game he played
with grace and skill. He was invited as a young teen to go to
Boston to play but his father would not let him leave Moncton.
Later, as a centre-fielder in Montreal, he helped his Atwater
Baseball League team win five championships in seven seasons.
After retiring from football in 1934, Mr.
PERRY, took up curling.
After settling down in Ottawa in 1941, he won curling's Royal
Jubilee Trophy in 1953 and 1956. At age 60, he scored a rare
eight-ender while competing in a provincial event, says his son,
who is president of the Ottawa Curling Club, which for 42 years
has run a spring bonspiel in his father's name.
In Ottawa, he worked in several positions with the Bank of Canada.
When he retired in the early 1970s, he was involved in the printing
and distribution of Canada Savings Bonds -- ironically, working
alongside Ron
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, who was once a fleet-footed running back
with the Ottawa Rough Riders.
Mr. PERRY continued to curl until he was 90 and played his last
round of golf at 98. At 100, the honours continued to pour in.
In the 1903 Canadian Football League season, Mr.
PERRY was named
honorary captain of the Montreal Alouettes.
Mr. PERRY and his first wife, Jay
KEITH, had three children,
Gord Jr., Pat and Lynn. His second wife was Betty
THOMAS. Ms.
KEITH and Ms.
THOMAS died in their 60s; at age 91, Mr.
PERRY
married Muriel
TAGGART, then a 72-year-old widow. He leaves his
wife and three children.

Tuesday,

2003, Page A20
Mother, wife, businesswoman, survivor. Born July 3, 1931, in
Guyana. Died May 4, 2002, of esophageal cancer, in Toronto, aged
Hilda was the ultimate survivor. Born to hardworking parents,
our mom was orphaned at 3 and drifted from one relative to another
over the years, doing housework and working in rice fields for
pennies a day. She watched with envy as other girls went off
to school and enjoyed a normal childhood. For her, school was
just a dream.
She grew up and married a handsome accountant, our dad Joe, and
they had 10 children, the youngest a set of twins. She wanted
to provide us with everything she lacked as a child, and our
education was her top priority. There never seemed to be enough
money to go around, yet mom always found the money for our textbooks
and tuition fees. At night she would hand-wash our school uniforms,
white socks, and sneakers, and hang them under light bulbs to
dry, so we could have clean uniforms to wear every morning. Although
these years were difficult, mom remembered them as the best years
of her life.
After dad retired, they bought a struggling hotel-and-restaurant
business, but it barely kept the family afloat.
In 1971, mom faced her biggest challenge when dad died suddenly,
leaving no savings or life insurance. She was left on her own,
with 10 children to raise. Well-meaning relatives offered to
take some of the children, but mom adamantly refused to split
up her family. Her survival instinct went into high gear and
she found within herself incredible strength and wisdom that
even she hadn't known she possessed. She built up a struggling
hotel business, and despite her inexperience and lack of education,
it became a thriving success within a short time. She became
financially independent and was able to build a big house in
the country; we lived there comfortably.
In 1974, one of mom's beloved twins, Donna, died tragically in
a car accident. Mom survived this as she had the many previous
adversities in her life: with extraordinary strength and spirit.
In 1982, the family emigrated to Canada to begin a new life.
It was an enormous adjustment as mom was past 50, but she worked
as a day-care provider, and finally got the chance to attend
school, fulfilling her childhood dream. This wasn't easy for
her but she refused to quit, and her perseverance paid off. What
an accomplishment it was for mom to finally be able to read her
beloved Bible! She was thrilled when she could write her own
letters and cards to her grandkids. She began volunteer work
at Warden Woods Community Centre, Bendale Nursing Home, and Agincourt
Pentecostal Church. She was always willing to help anyone in
need. Even when her health started to deteriorate, she refused
to slow down.
Mom took great pride in watching her children grow into successful
adults. She became a grandmother of 22 and great-grandmother
of six. Her happiest times were with her family, and she eagerly
looked forward to our large family gatherings. When she turned
70, in July, 2001, we held a big birthday party in her honour.
That night, mom was the happiest we had ever seen her.
Just three months later came the devastating diagnosis of cancer.
Although in great pain, mom remained optimistic to the very end,
her faith in God never wavering. She believed that God was going
to cure her as she had so much work left to do! But God had other
plans. After a heroic battle, she died on a crisp spring morning,
all her children at her bedside, a peaceful look on her face.
Mom will always be remembered for her fierce independence, determination,
and courage: a phenomenal matriarch.
Carrol and Jennifer are Hilda's daughters.
