VOLGYESI,
Andrew
Stephen
Died August 14, 2003 following a difficult battle with cancer.
Though cut short, his life was filled to the brim -- driven by
his vision and his enterprising energy of which his architect's
skills were but one expression. He loved beauty and design and
his guiding philosophy was ''less is more''. He loved his many
Friends, to whom he extended his well-known helping hand. He
loved travel and music, skiing and squash. He loved good talk.
He loved laughter and humour. Most of all, he loved his large
and extended family to whom he was devoted always. He will be
deeply missed by them all -- by his wife Diane, by his daughters
and their partners Christina and Les, Lara and Rochelle, by his
grandchildren Isabelle and Camilla, by the mother of his daughters
Betty, by his sisters Vera and Suzanne, and by nephews and nieces
throughout the world who knew and loved him. May he be remembered
as the straight-shooter who loved life and all those in it. A
private funeral service was held on Saturday, August 16 at Grace
Church-on-the-Hill. Those wishing to remember Andrew are free
to make a donation to the charity of their choice.

Auntie Kae will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews
and their families in the
PLAUNT and
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON clans.
Born in Renfrew on April 29, 1914, she moved to Sudbury in 1924
where her father established his lumber business. She attended
Central Public and Sudbury High School, Branksome Hall and graduated
from the School of Nursing, University of Toronto, in 1937. After
working in Toronto in public health, she returned to Sudbury
the following year where she met and married Mac.
Kae loved to golf and curl, and took an avid interest in her
family's history. She was very talented in the traditional arts,
enjoying knitting, quilting and cooking. As an active community
volunteer, she belonged to the Imperial Order of the Daughters
of the Empire where she was Regent and to the Salvation Army
as an organizer for the annual fund raising drive and board member.
She loved to travel with her husband and Friends, but her favourite
place in the world was Lake Pogamasing where her parents established
a family camp in 1941 and where she spent every summer with her
family. She loved to entertain her Friends and her children's
Friends, especially at Pog. We were blessed to have a mother
and grandmother who stressed the importance of family, community
and responsibility. She loved to bring people together and do
things for them, to share her interests and her talents, she
was kind and considerate to all she met, and along with Dad taught
us how to dance and have fun.
Special thanks from the family to Dr. Reg
KUSNIERCZYK and his
staff, the Walford staff and Dr.
ROCH and staff on the fifth
floor of York Extendicare for their devoted and caring attention
to Mother.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to
Young Men's Christian Association Sudbury.
