DENURE,
Frederick
Calvin
Died July 22, 2003, age 70, in Lindsay, Ontario, his home since
Fred DENURE was a remarkable, generous friend to many and a devoted
husband of forty-six years to his one and only Dorothy Ann. His
drive, energy and sense of humour will be greatly missed by all
who knew him, especially his children Raymond, Steven and Susan.
His nine grandchildren have lost a bright spark in their lives
a grandfather whose support and inspiring curiosity showed them
that the world is what you make of it.
Fred, founder of DeNure Tours and numerous other business ventures,
was an intrepid, inquisitive traveler who always had his eye
open for an opportunity or an interesting conversation. Travel
was a vocation, but his greatest pleasure was trips taken with
his family and good Friends.
The family would like to thank Doctors
READY,
PERRY,
MOULTON
and DAVY and the staff at Sunnybrook and St. Michael's Hospital.
A very special thanks to the second floor medical south nurses

MacPHERSON,
Harvey
Alexander
Died October 16th at Saint Mary's Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario.
Harvey celebrated his 90th birthday earlier this year at The
Village of Winston Park where he was a resident. Born on March
2, 1913 in Macton, Ontario to John and Elsie (née
REAMAN)
MacPHERSON,
Harvey was the eldest of three children. His brothers Ron and
Grant predeceased him. In the 1930's Harvey learned to fly, and
after a stint of bush pilot work in northern Ontario with Algoma
Airways, became the chief flying instructor with the Kitchener
Waterloo Airport. When war broke out, the Kitchener Waterloo
Airport was contracted to open a flight training school in Goderich
for the Empire Flight Training Program. In 1940, Harvey went
to Goderich as Chief Flying Instructor and trained hundreds of
pilots for the Commonwealth. Before leaving, Harvey married Elizabeth
Jean Gartshore
LAING, the daughter of Reverend A.A. and Marion
LAING.
Harvey met Elizabeth when her father was the minister at Linwood
United Church where he attended. During the war, Harvey joined
the Royal Canadian Air Force. At war's end he took a job with
Dominion Rubber (now Uniroyal) in Kitchener. In 1958, Harvey
took over the operation of Caya Fabrics Ltd. and later became
its sole owner. He managed the business until the early 1990's
when he retired. Harvey, Elizabeth (Betty) and their family were
active members of Trinity United Church in Kitchener for many
years. Betty passed away in 1975 after a long battle with Amyotrophic
Lateral
Sclerosis.
Harvey is survived by his children; Doug
MacPHERSON
(wife Kathy
MacPHERSON,)
Barbara
BUTLER (husband Bob,) and Bruce
