GRAY/GREY,
Alice
A. (née
BELFRY) (1915-2005)
Alice GRAY/GREY led a rich, full life. Born to Dr. Roy and Ethel
BELFRY,
she grew up on Broadview Avenue and attended Withrow Public School
and Jarvis Collegiate. At Jarvis, she met her husband, Aubrey
who would be her best friend until his death in 2000. She was
a lifelong supporter of the Victoria College at the University
of Toronto, from which she graduated in 1936. Alice taught in
Copper Cliff, before World War 2, and then when her children
were older, she was at Thistletown Collegiate for 25 years, making
history by becoming the first female head of a History Department
in Metro Toronto in the 1960's, a feat of which she was extremely
proud. Alice was a passionate supporter of Toronto defending
it against all comers, just like her great grandfather in the
1837 Rebellion alongside William Lyon Mackenzie, and, as well,
vigorously promoting its many cultural activities. She was a
strong supporter of the University Women's Club being on the
Executive for many years. Alice died peacefully on May 25, 2005
at the Trillium Health Centre - Mississauga Site having just
celebrated her 90th birthday on May 11th. She will be greatly
missed by her son, Paul and his wife Ruth, daughter Gretchen
and her husband John
DAY, and her grandchildren, Sarah and her
husband Tim, Richard and his wife Helen, Charlie, Robyn, Genevieve
and Amaranth. Friends may call at the Turner and Porter Butler

BELL a pioneer in addiction treatment
By Melinda
DALTON,
Free
Press
Reporter
As a young boy in Saint Marys, Gordon
BELL was an enthusiastic
pianist. During time off from his farm duties, he'd often volunteer
to fill in on the organ at Avonbank Presbyterian Church when
the regular organist was sick.
"It was a pump organ and he'd be rocking so hard that his mother
would have to take the flowers off the side of the organ so they
wouldn't go flying off," his daughter Linda
BELL recalled.
The farm boy with a passion for music would grow up to become
a pioneer in addiction treatment who was invited to the White
House for a fireside chat with Franklin Roosevelt and awarded
the Order of Canada.
BELL died June 16 at the age of 93, but his work, which spanned
nearly 60 years, lives on in the more than 40,000 Canadian families
he helped cope with the pain and stress of addiction.
The▼ son of Robert and Elizabeth
BELL,
Robert▲▼
Gordon▼ was born
on a farm near Saint Marys in 1911. He attended Saint Marys collegiate
institute before moving to Toronto to attend medical school at
the University of Toronto.
One summer, hitchhiking from the Eastern Townships of Quebec
to Toronto,
BELL was picked up by a Jesuit priest.
"When the priest dropped him off, he thanked him very much for
the ride and the priest said to him, 'It has been a privilege
to have been of service.' That became my father's motto," Linda
BELL said.
BELL married his wife, Mary Irene
LAMPING, in 1938. In 1946,
the pair began a professional collaboration when they started
treating patients in their home.
BELL had originally intended to treat patients suffering from
mental health disorders, but the patients who showed up at the
family home were alcoholics.
At that time, alcoholics were usually confined to a jail cell
or locked in a psychiatric ward,
BELL's daughter said.
"For a doctor to take those type of people, who were so stigmatized
they were basically considered moral degenerates, into his home
was a far cry from anything else they had," she said.
In the years that followed,
BELL and his family established treatment
centres Shadowbrook, Willowdale Hospital of Women, Alex G. Grown
Clinic at Mimico Reformatory and the Bell Clinic.
In 1967, BELL founded the first public hospital for addiction
in Canada, the Donwood Institute, and in 1984, together with
Linda, he established Bellwood Health Services in Toronto.
The treatment centre helped patients with alcohol and drug addictions
and later expanded to include gambling and sexual addictions
and eating disorders.
Even▼ at 93,
BELL continued to work in the clinic he founded.
He'd come in, have lunch and meet with the patients, Linda said.
"He still said it was the best job he ever had."

Migrant workers killed by car while biking to Delhi in dark
By Monte SONNENBERG,
Special to The Free Press
Otterville -- Investigators probing a collision near Delhi that
killed two migrant workers and left a third with serious injuries
are probing the role vehicle speed and the absence of bicycle
reflectors may have played in the crash.
William BELL, 54, Desmond
McNEIL, 39, and Fred
SMITH, 35, were
cycling on Highway 59 northwest of Delhi about 7: 50 p.m. Tuesday
when they were hit from behind by a car, Norfolk Ontario Provincial
Police said.
BELL and
McNEIL were killed.
SMITH was taken to London Health
Sciences Centre.
BELL,
McNEIL and
SMITH were part of an eight-man crew from Jamaica
working at the Kwan farm near Otterville.
"This morning, before they started their work day, we took some
time and said some words about the injured and killed and had
a moment of silence," Arthur
KWAN said last night. "It's at a
time like this when it really hits you because you realize they're
not coming back. It was a total shock. I watched last night as
they rode out the lane."
The men were riding toward Delhi in the dark on bicycles when
they were hit by a car near the intersection of Mall Road, police
said.
The car suffered extensive damage. Its driver, Chris
MORRIS,
26, of Simcoe, was admitted to Norfolk General Hospital in Simcoe
for observations after showing signs of distress, police said.
BELL had been employed on the Kwan farm for the last eight years.
The farm near Otterville specializes in growing Chinese vegetables.
KWAN described
BELL as a hard worker who was always seeking extra
hours to support his large family.
"He was always a good-natured guy," he said. "You could always
joke around with him. He was a dependable, go-to guy who did
his best in the field."
McNEIL often spoke of a woman in Jamaica, but never shared her
name, KWAN said.
He frequently rode into Delhi to call her because she was worried
about him.
McNEIL went into Delhi Monday -- the day before he died -- and
bought his sweetheart a fancy necklace.
KWAN said
McNEIL was
likely cycling into Delhi to call her again when the collision
occurred.
The KWAN family and the rest of the Jamaican crew travelled to
London last night to check on
SMITH, who is expected to recover.
The Jamaican Liaison Office took possession of the affected workers'
belongings yesterday. They will be held in trust pending their
return to next-of-kin. The liaison office is arranging to fly
the bodies back to Jamaica.

Ronald MASON
By Rob MASON,
Friday,
March 25, 2005, Page A16
Art gallery owner, baker, landscaper, father. Born July 20, 1928,
in Orangeville, Ontario Died January 28, in Toronto, of a heart
attack, aged 76.
The pivotal moment in my father's life came in 1969 when he accepted
an invitation to move to Saint John's, Newfoundland., to work for
the art gallery at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Prior
to that time he had worked in Montreal for several years, first
in the construction of the Canadian Pavilion for Expo 67, and
later as an assistant in the pavilion's art gallery. My father
never aspired to have a career in the arts and had no formal
education in that area. Nonetheless, in 1969 he moved his wife
and three children (I, the fourth child, would be born in 1971)
to a small university-owned house in foggy Saint John's.
After four years of learning his trade in the university gallery,
my father opened his own gallery in 1973 in Saint John's. Although
Gallery Mason operated for only six years, it and my father left
an indelible mark on the city and a community of Newfoundland
artists. He exhibited works from dozens of (then) relatively
unknown painters and helped to keep many of them afloat. There
are stories of my father driving for hours to small coastal towns
to deliver food to impoverished artists and their families. My
father came in contact with a variety of celebrities through
his gallery, including premiers, Chief Executive Officers and
entertainers. On one occasion, my father brought Peter Gzowski
home to supper: He was in Saint John's to tape his radio show This
Country in the Morning.
When Gallery Mason closed in 1980, my father searched for a new
challenge. In 1981, he joined the oil-drilling industry just
beginning to flourish off the coast of Newfoundland. Although
he had never previously been on the sea, for almost 10 years
my father worked in increasingly senior positions -- baker, cook,
chief steward -- on oil drilling ships and platforms around the
world, including in the Beaufort Sea and off the coasts of Senegal
and Ghana. He would often be gone for several months at a time.
Life on the ocean was not easy. I know my father battled countless
hours of seasickness and, in 1982, he was dealt a blow when the
Ocean Ranger platform disappeared into the Atlantic Ocean with
all 84 souls onboard, many of whom he knew well.
Eventually my father became too old for life on the oil rigs
and in 1988 he decided to move to Toronto to begin a landscaping
company. My father did not have any background in landscaping.
Nonetheless, after a couple of back-breaking summers as part
of other people's crews, my father managed to start his own landscaping
business while also working at Sheridan Nurseries in North Toronto,
where he stayed for 10 years. I've been told that customers loved
my father and would seek him out -- for his knowledge of plants
and flowers, for his grasp of world affairs and art, and for
his sense of humour.
After my father's death, my sister Moya created a website in
his honour (http: //www.moyak.com/ron). Dozens of messages have
been posted on the website about our father, many by people who
knew him long ago. One of our favourite letters is from Peter
BELL, the great painter who now lives in Scotland and who, in
1969, changed our family's destiny by persuading my father to
join him at the university gallery in Newfoundland. Mr.
BELL
wrote that my father "had a broad, capacious battery of virtues
rarely found in one individual. In the years we worked together
I never once experienced anger in him... He was no angel, but
he would probably put most of them to shame... If it is appropriate
to cheer for the passing of one who made the most of his life
from day to day, then, with due respect, maybe we should cheer
now, too."
Rob is the youngest of Ronald's children.

On April 2, 2005, at the Cambridge Memorial Hospital, in his

61 years of a wonderfully happy marriage. Devoted father of son
Paul▼ of Chicago and daughter Dian

and Dorothy's greatest joy in later years came from proudly watching
their five grandchildren grow into beautiful and talented young

BELL of Cambridge and Stephanie

THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON of Toronto. For his entire life, Ken's
heart remained rooted in his experiences growing up on the family
farm in Orton: he possessed a profound love for nature and animals.
From the one room school in Orton, he began a successful career
in the produce industry which started at the Food Terminal in
Toronto, and culminated in his appointment as V.P. of a large
international fruit brokerage firm in Minneapolis. In World War
2, Ken enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and completed
a tour of "ops" as a flight lieutenant navigator with the Royal
Air Force in India-Burma. The war years were pivotal in Ken's
life; the abiding sorrow of beloved brother "Dunc", missing in
action in 1942, made every day Remembrance Day for Ken. Retirement
in the early 80's back to Toronto afforded Ken the opportunity
to indulge his passion for politics (York West Tory Association),
and the Kiwanis Club of Islington, serving as President in 83-84.
Here, he found great fellowship while involving himself in their
goal to help others less fortunate than themselves. There will
be no visitation as cremation has taken place. A private family

BELL, Robert Archibald "Archie" Lt. Col, Lake Superior Regiment,
Retired.
Died suddenly but peacefully on April 28, 2005 at Wyndham Manor,
Oakville, in his 88th year. Much loved father of Lesley (Rod
MORRISON) and Alison (Doug
CHARLTON.)
Born in Port Arthur, Archie
was proud of his Scottish heritage and that his people came from
the Hebridian island of Colonsay. Archie's war years defined
him. He landed at Juno Beach with his regiment in August 1944,
was wounded in action, and spent the remainder of the war in
military hospitals in England and Canada, returning to Thunder
Bay in 1946. Archie joined the family moving business, Angus
Bell Cartage, in 1947, retiring in 1968. He then pursued successful
real estate and sales careers. He was a devoted volunteer with
countless organizations, including the Liberal Party of Canada,
the Port Arthur General Hospital and the Lake Superior Regiment
Old
Boys
Association. Archie married Barbara
GILLESPIE in 1949.
Their marriage was sustained by love and humour, which helped
them through the loss of their daughter Nancy at 20 in 1974.
Barbara died unexpectedly in 1986. In addition to his daughters,
Archie is survived by brother Bruce (Anita), sister Marion (Wally),
sister in law, Mona and many nieces and nephews. His sisters
Jessie SPOONER
(Art) and Dodie
STRACHAN (Jack) and brother Ken
predeceased him. Archie was fully engaged in life until the day
he died. He will be remembered for his wry wit and engaging conversation.
There will never be another like him. Lesley and Alison would
like to thank the staff of Wyndham Manor for their exceptional
and compassionate care of their father. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to the Northern Cancer Research Foundation, Thunder
Bay or Port Arthur Branch 5 Building Fund. Funeral service will

Robert BURNS,
Graphic
Designer: 1942-2005
Creative wizard whose firm Burns Cooper Hynes made the logos
of corporate Canada instantly recognizable allowed cocaine to
ruin a brilliant career, writes Sandra
MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN,
Wednesday,
June 1, 2005, Page S7
Robert BURNS was many things -- a graphic artist, a creative
thinker, a father -- but most of all he was a cocaine addict.
That fact obscured his talents and darkened his life for the
last 25 years, from the collapse of the high-flying design firm
Burns Cooper Hynes in the early 80s to the ruin of personal relationships.
As a designer he was the equivalent of a bandleader, said his
former partner, copywriter Jim
HYNES. "He was like Glenn Miller.
He knew the sound he wanted to create and he was a genius at
putting together the right ingredients to get that result." Other
people did most of the work, of course. "He used to call me the
donkey," said Mr.
HYNES "because I did a little work every day,
keeping the cart moving at all times while he would run, run,
run and then crash because he would be running at a pace that
nobody could sustain."
At his best, Mr.
BURNS was a virtuoso of the big idea -- the
central phrase or image that you could build a product or an
advertising campaign around. "He had heart, wit and intelligence,"
said Eric (Ric)
YOUNG a social and environmental communications
consultant. "That is a rare combination and it was invested in
all of his work, which was strategic and conceptual. He had real
passion and ambition and he brought fantastic energy and an aspiration
for greatness to every project."
"He could plug into another person and tune himself onto that
wavelength so perfectly that it was mesmerizing," said Mr.
HYNES.
"That was his greatest talent when he was building a very successful
organization, but it was also the talent that enabled him to
survive on the street and carry on with a lifestyle that most
people can only manage for a few years before they end up in
the graveyard."
Robert BURNS grew up in a working-class neighbourhood on the
outskirts of London. He was hard to handle as a teenager and
once made the newspapers after he and a couple of Friends were
arrested for urinating on somebody's front lawn. His parents,
fearing he was headed for trouble, made him enlist in the Royal
Air Force at age 15, to train as an airplane mechanic. Robert
frequently butted heads with his superiors, although he did find
success as a bugler and a fencer. Finally, he persuaded the Royal
Air Force that he was a conscientious objector and won a discharge.
He put together a portfolio and went to art school in London
on a grant for a couple of years. Like so many creative types
in the early 1960s, he fancied himself a folksinger. As well
as strumming a guitar, he ran an artist's booking agency called
Folksounds in Lewisham.
He met Canadian Ellen
ANDERSON (now an artist and social activist)
in 1965 as she "stepped off the plane" from Toronto. One of her
high-school Friends, who was working at the same agency, had
asked him for a ride to the airport. "We never parted from that
point," Ms.
ANDERSON said. They married and made plans to move
to Canada.
Mr. BURNS, then 22, needed a passport. At the registry office
he made a casual joke about his parentage and learned that he'd
been adopted as a baby. He felt betrayed, according to Ms.
ANDERSON,
who believes that confronting the truth about his birth was one
of the demons that Mr.
BURNS wrestled with for the rest of his
life.
In Toronto, Mr.
BURNS and Ms.
ANDERSON shared a house with a
number of artists. Mr.
BURNS found work as a graphic artist for
the CTV television network and then formed his own company called
Robert
Burns
Designs. Ms.
ANDERSON says her husband, who had
grown up with rationing and deprivation, was so bewitched by
the wealth of North America that he wrote a letter to a friend
back in England saying, "the streets are filled with cars as
big as houses."
Mr. BURNS left Ms.
ANDERSON in 1969 when she was pregnant with
their son Gabe. The breakup was cruel and acrimonious. By then,
Mr. BURNS was working on a freelance basis with Heather
COOPER,
an illustrator and graphic designer whom he'd met through photographer
Bert BELL.
They▲▼ began a professional and personal relationship
that lasted 11 years, a creative partnership that brought them
a stellar list of clients, a lavish life style and a daughter
Sarah who is now 34.
Either separately, or together as the graphic design firm Burns
Cooper, they seemed to be involved in everything that was fresh
and innovative, from David Crombie's mayoralty campaign to Canadian
Brass, Roots and
CITY-TV. "
Being intensely creative was what
we were about," said Ms.
COOPER. "
Work was our passion and probably
the original reason for us being together."
Jim HYNES, then a corporate communications executive, arrived
in Toronto from Montreal in 1972 and hired them to develop a
new graphic identity for his company. Over the next three years,
the two men became close Friends. Finally, in 1975, Mr.
BURNS
persuaded Mr.
HYNES to quit his job and join him and Ms
COOPER
in a partnership that became Burns Cooper Hynes.
"Within the next five years we became if not the biggest graphic
design company in Canada certainly the best known and the most
prestigious," said Mr.
HYNES.
They produced corporate identities,
annual reports and sales materials for clients such as Northern
Telecom, Alcan, Imperial Oil, Cadillac Fairview and Canadian
Pacific airlines.
"He loved luxury. When he had money, it vanished instantly on
the most expensive things he could find." says Mr.
HYNES. In
those days it was not uncommon to end a meeting with an advertising
agency by doing a "mile-long line" of cocaine on the boardroom
table. "Everybody snorted coke," said Mr.
HYNES. "It was considered
completely harmless fun." But Mr.
BURNS moved on to injecting,
quickly draining the company to feed his rapacious habit.
"He changed our lives in a big way, first for the better and
then for the worse," said Mr.
HYNES. "I needed to get out of
the corporate world and I still remember that decade as the happiest
of my working life. Heather is a very reclusive person and for
her to sell herself as an illustrator was very difficult, but
Robert made her into a superstar. The first requirement of one
of Robert's big ideas was a great big poster by Heather
COOPER."
After the collapse of Burns Cooper Hynes in the early 1980s --
Ms. COOPER said it took her years to wind up dealings with creditors
and contractors -- Mr.
BURNS started a couple of other design
firms, but he never really recovered.
"I thought he might be able to control his addictions, said Ms.
ANDERSON, "but he had so many demons and drugs were the way to
keep them at bay." About a year ago he learned that he had at
least two types of hepatitis and he had terminal liver damage.
Although he had been living on and off the street for years,
lately he was living in a group home run by the Homes First Society
and had connected with outreach and religious workers at St.
James Cathedral in Toronto and a neighbourhood centre called
6 St. Joseph Street. Two weeks ago, he spent the day working
on a renovation project, went home to have some soup with a friend
and collapsed.
Robert BURNS was born in London, England on April 16, 1942. He
died of hepatitis and heart failure on May 14 after nearly 30
years of drug abuse. He was 63. He is survived by his first wife
Ellen ANDERSON and his son Gabe; and by his former partner Heather
COOPER, his daughter Sarah Cooper
BURNS and her family.

Robert Gordon
BELL,
Physician: 1911-2005
Pioneering doctor who almost didn't make it through medical school
turned a chance involvement with alcoholics into a life's calling
to treat all manner of addictions
By Stephen
STRAUSS,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Thursday,
June 30, 2005, Page S11
Toronto -- After word got out that Robert Gordon
BELL, known
to those who knew him as Gordon, had died at 93, an e-mail was
sent to his family from a former patient. In it, the feelings
of not just the writer but the tens of thousands of people whom
Dr. BELL and his treatment had helped escape from addiction was
summarized in a mental health koan.
"I learned from him that, yes, I was an alcoholic, but to be
an alcoholic didn't mean I was a bad person," the man wrote.
It is something that the Ontario farmer's son, who turned a happenstance
involvement with Toronto alcoholics in the 1940s into a life's
calling to treat addictions of all sorts, would undoubtedly have
relished. His personal motto, and one that he repeated daily
to patients, was "it has been a privilege to have been of service."
What wasn't said, but implied, were the added words "when others
find it such a privilege not to serve you."
The▲ social context in which the ever-courtly Dr.
BELL helped
revolutionize the treatment of addiction in not just Canada but
around the world was a medical disdain bordering on repulsion.
"He was a courageous pioneer, because he took on an area of medicine
almost nobody at the time wanted to deal with," said Frank
EVANS,
long-time colleague and secretary of the Canadian Society of
Addiction Medicine. "Doctors were both revolted and disgusted
at a problem which they saw as self-inflicted. In what he did,
Dr. BELL was almost the addiction equivalent of Father Damien,
who provided an understanding and haven for lepers on the Hawaiian
Island of Molokai."
Dr. BELL would later write that part of his sympathy for an addict's
personal failures came from his own difficulties in becoming
a doctor in the first place.
Born into a Scots Presbyterian family in the Southern Ontario
town of Saint Mary's, Dr.
BELL was inspired by his industrious
Uncle Charlie -- a doctor who once held the North American record
for the number of babies delivered in a year -- to go into medicine.
But he was an indifferent student, and he failed medical school
after his third year at the University of Toronto. While working
in a smelting plant, he experienced what he would later call
a transcendental release from fear of failure while watching
the sun rise over Lake Erie. "I lost my fear of not being able
to succeed, and I acquired a sense of direction in personal fulfilment,"
he would write in an 1989 autobiography.
He might have become self-assured, but he also had to struggle
mightily to convince the University of Toronto to readmit him
after a dean bluntly informed him: "Can you not appreciate that
you have neither the intelligence nor the emotional stability
to graduate in medicine and succeed as a physician." In a way,
that set the tone for his subsequent dealing with authority --
he refused to leave until a second opinion was obtained from
someone who saw the good doctor lurking within the previous failure.
Dr. BELL's first entree into social-psychiatric medicine came
during the Second World War when he worked in the Canadian Army
with soldiers traumatized by their war experience. Having found
this interesting, and sure that his lack of an obstetrics background
would doom him in general practice, he opened up a clinic in
his home for -- in his words -- the "emotionally disabled."
At the time, he assured his wife, who already had given birth
to two of his five children, that "the worst we could expect
would be three or four nervous old ladies as guests. I had no
idea at the time our only patients would be alcoholics." Not
only that, but among them would be one who returned to the house
after going on a bend with the express purpose of beating Dr.
BELL to a pulp.
Reflecting a Canada in which alcoholics were viewed as the bane
of a medical practice, Dr.
BELL quickly found that there was
almost nothing in the medical literature describing how you dealt
with people who drank too much. Out of the personality jumble
of the patients who came to him -- business successes, failures,
the violent, the passive, the neat, the messy -- grew the notion
that, to treat addiction, you had to treat the whole person in
a caring community. A singularly important feature of this, and
one that went against the thinking of the time, was that an alcoholic
was an alcoholic for life and there was no possibility of going
back to social drinking.
To this was grafted what were, for the time, revolutionary alcoholism
drug treatments, most notably Antabuse, a medication that made
anyone sick who drank alcohol afterward. To ensure they would
truly be of service to their patients, Dr.
BELL and another physician
first tried the substance on themselves. The result was a near
overdose wherein Dr.
BELL's blood pressure and pulse rate fell
to almost zero and he came close to dying. Later, he and a fellow
doctor would invent and again self-test Temposil, an anti-drinking
drug with fewer side effects. They also came up with a body-weight
scale that allowed you to estimate how much you could drink without
getting drunk.
Dr. BELL's interest in addiction -- he had soon learned that
many of his alcoholic patients were addicted to barbiturates
and other drugs -- led him to found a number of clinics and hospitals
in the Toronto area. The establishment of these facilities was
viewed by the authorities of the day with considerable suspicion.
Indeed, so wary was the Ontario Medical Association of his activities
that it secretly sent a couple of doctors to check out his clinic.
In the words of one of the investigators, the Ontario Medical
Association suspected that Dr.
BELL was "some kind of medical
racketeer out to make a fortune by sobering up wealthy drunks."
Making money would have surprised both his bank managers and
his family. "He always paid himself last," said Ron
BELL, one
of his sons.
Soon, Bell clinics in their various incarnations were seen as
the best places in North America for people to have a chance
at least to stop being alcoholics. And rich Americans, notably
Henry Clay Ford, grand_son of Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone
Jr., of the Firestone tire family, soon arrived for treatment.
They both ended up sitting on the board and contributing money
toward the operation of the Donwood Institute, the first public
hospital in North America specifically designed to treat addictions.
Of particular pride to Dr.
BELL was the more than half-a-million
dollars contributed by former patients -- the "hopeless characters,"
according to those who turned them away -- to the Donwood. The
success in Canada spurred the development of similar institutions
in the United States, one of which treated Betty Ford, the wife
of former U.S. president Gerald Ford. It became the template
for the Betty Ford Center in California.
But life's accomplishments don't always capture the character
of a man. Dr.
BELL was, say those who knew him, someone who transcended
his background. The child of the old Protestant Ontario embraced
in his practice the multiplicity of the multiculturalism of its
present. "He was very ecumenical," said University of Toronto
professor Harold
KALANT, who had known him since medical school.
As an example, Toby
LEVINSON, a psychologist who worked with
him since the 1960s, reported the reaction of a native woman
when Dr. BELL took his family on a tour of the Donwood. "Dr.
BELL was here with his family; he came right over and talked
to me. Can you imagine Dr.
BELL talking to a drunken Indian?"
she asked in amazement.
His final accomplishment may have been the incorporation of his
children in his vision of a caring community for addicts. Both
his daughter Janice and his daughter Linda ended up working at
Bellwood Health Services, a residential centre he helped found
to treat not only drug and alcohol addictions but also gambling,
sexual manias and eating disorders.
In the end, Gordon
BELL's life finished in a full circle. He
was buried in the graveyard of the church in Saint Mary's where
he had worshipped as a child, and where his childhood minister
had emphasized the need for lifelong learning. What killed him
was a heart attack, which he diagnosed to a caregiver even as
he was dying. "A good clinician to the last," said Ron
BELL.
Robert Gordon
BELL was born in Saint Mary's, Ontario, on November
11, 1911. He died of a heart attack in Toronto on June 15, 2005.
He was 93. He is survived by daughters Janice
HAMBLE,
Linda
BELL
and Mary BELL-
PLOUFFE and by sons Ronald and Brian. His wife,
Mary, died in January of 1994.

Barrie, Ont -- Reverend Ron
BERRESFORD of Barrie, Ontario, writes
about Dr. Gordon
BELL, whose obituary appeared on June 30.
Meeting Dr.
BELL as a student in addictions was to be drawn into
his personal circle by his down-home personality. His boundless
energy and enthusiasm was contagious and motivating. You always
felt included and valued. He took a personal interest in our
progress, and the pride of a favourite uncle figure in our achievements
which, in my case, he continued to follow and recognize into
the '90s.
As a world leader in addictions, he ranks with such Canadian
medical heroes as Banting, Best, Penfield, Osler, McClure, Shouldice,
Selye and Bethune. It is sad that the symbol of his great achievements,
the Donwood Institute, is currently for sale to the highest bidder,
which will probably result in its demolition.

Predeceased▼
by his parents George and Muriel
BELL, and his older brother
Michael. David privately fought a courageous two year battle
with colon cancer and its complications. Throughout the fight,
David never lost his sense of humour nor his sense of adventure.
It is clear that he earned extra time with his family and Friends
through a combination of his unrelenting optimism and his incredible
tenacity. In the end, he lost the battle but he fought the good
fight. He would like to thank all who were involved with their
kind and compassionate care at the Brantford General Cancer Clinic.
David was very lucky to have a small group of steadfast Friends,
many of whom he'd known for decades. He told a few of these Friends
of the terminal nature of his predicament because of necessity
or proximity. Others, he did not tell because he hated spreading
more sadness around and he hoped that they would forgive him
for not telling them. He was particularly grateful to Steph and
Rolfie who were always there, above and beyond! To his Friends,
he loved you all. David was well known throughout Canada's public
relations industry as an executive recruiter. He established
the country's premier executive recruitment firm specializing
exclusively in public relations in the early 1990's and managed
it until his death. His honesty and integrity will be missed.
At David's request, there was no service. Cremation has taken
place. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, or charity of
your choice would honour his memory. Please come and help celebrate
David's life on Sunday September 25th. Join family and Friends

is also survived by his brother Stephen and sister Nancy and
their families, his mother-in-law Agnes
GOESTL, and brother-in-law
John GOESTL and his family. Predeceased by his parents George
and Muriel
BELL, and his older brother Michael. David privately
fought a courageous two year battle with colon cancer and its
complications. Throughout the fight, David never lost his sense
of humour nor his sense of adventure. It is clear that he earned
extra time with his family and Friends through a combination
of his unrelenting optimism and his incredible tenacity. In the
end, he lost the battle but he fought the good fight. He would
like to thank all who were involved with their kind and compassionate
care at the Brantford General Cancer Clinic. David was very lucky
to have a small group of steadfast Friends, many of whom he'd
known for decades. He told a few of these Friends of the terminal
nature of his predicament because of necessity or proximity.
Others, he did not tell because he hated spreading more sadness
around and he hoped that they would forgive him for not telling
them. He was particularly grateful to Steph and Rolfie who were
always there, above and beyond! To his Friends, he loved you
all. David was well known throughout Canada's public relations
industry as an executive recruiter. He established the country's
premier executive recruitment firm specializing exclusively in
public relations in the early 1990's and managed it until his
death. His honesty and integrity will be missed. At David's request,
there was no service. Cremation has taken place. Donations to
the Canadian Cancer Society, or charity of your choice would
honour his memory. Please come and help celebrate David's life
on Sunday September 25th. Join family and Friends in celebrating

Archie BELL
By Alison BELL and Lesley
BELL,
Wednesday,
October 26, 2005,
Page A26
Father, husband, veteran, humorist, letter-writer, political
watch-dog, friend. Born November 18, 1917, in Port Arthur, Ontario
Died April 28 in Oakville, Ontario, aged 87.
Archie's keen wit, storytelling and personal convictions were
his defining features. He would make us laugh until it hurt,
or listen in rapt silence to his tales of "the old days." Tales
of growing up in Port Arthur, now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario,
with his parents Ethel and Angus, his sisters Jessie, Flora and
Marion and brothers Bruce and Ken. Tales of skating on the rink
beside the co-operative dairy. Tales of the "dirty Thirties,"
when his mother would generously feed the itinerant labourers
who appeared at their back door, sometimes at the expense of
her own family.
If we complained about a summer job, Dad would remind us of his
hard labour as a water boy on the railway, where he earned the
princely sum of $1 a day. If we struggled with school, he would
encourage us to stick with it, reminding us that he did not have
the good fortune to finish high school, due, in part, to a bout
with rheumatic fever, but more to his enlistment in the militia.
A proud member of the Lake Superior Regiment (Motor), Archie
joined the militia at the age of 14, masquerading as a much older
and wiser 18-year-old. Thrilled with his high-paying job, he
described earning $12 a month in 1932 as "a real bonanza."
His life in the army, in many ways, was the making of Archie.
Mobilized with a unit of 800 in 1940, he stood guard at the Peace
Tower, marched through the Ottawa Valley and eventually landed
in New Brunswick, where he was given the rank of officer.
With a drastic shortage of officers in 1942 came the search for
suitable candidates. During the interview that led to his promotion,
Archie was asked how much high-school education he had. Archie
replied, "Three years, Sir." The general nodded in approval.
What Archie did not tell him, however, was that all three years
were in Grade 9.
Landing at Juno Beach with his regiment in August, 1944, he was
wounded in action, spending the remainder of the war in military
hospitals in England and Canada. Archie returned to Normandy
in 2001 as the official representative of the Lake Superior Regiment,
to take part in a ceremony honouring his close friend Major Edward
Styffe, who died in the war.
Returning to Port Arthur in 1946, Archie took over his father's
moving business. Originally relying on the use of dray horses,
Bell Cartage was the only cartage business in the area that was
also willing to store explosives. Many a tense moment was spent
waiting in the car while Dad stopped to check on things at the
magazine where they were kept.
Archie married our mother Barbara
GILLESPIE in June, 1949. They
met on a blind date and our mother knew at once that she had
met the man of her dreams. Three much-loved daughters, Lesley,
Nancy and Alison, followed. Despite the obvious gender imbalance
in our family, our father liked to pretend that he was the strict
authoritarian, but we knew differently. After grounding us for
staying out too late with a boyfriend or for dinging his car,
Dad would soften the blow with a trip for a chocolate-dipped
cone or a Coney Island hot dog.
Our father had a tremendous sense of humour, which sustained
him through many difficult periods in his life. A stoic figure,
we will never know the depth of pain he felt at the loss of his
daughter Nancy and wife Barbara. He was fully engaged in life
to the day he died. There will never be another like him.
Alison and Lesley are Archie's daughters.

Douglas SALMON,
Surgeon (1923-2005)
As the first black person in Canada to head a surgical team at
a large hospital, he came a long way from being a labourer in
a Toronto construction yard
By Carol COOPER,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Monday, October
31, 2005, Page S11
Orphaned, poor and black in Toronto during the Depression, Doug
SALMON held steadfastly to a dream. He was going to be a doctor.
Despite a society that did not support his ambition, that's exactly
what he did. For 28 years, he performed surgery at Scarborough
Centenary Hospital.
The first black surgeon in modern Canadian medical history, while
at Centenary he became president of the hospital's medical staff
and chief of general surgery, the first black person to do so.
He was among the first doctors in Canada to perform gastric bypass
surgery.
"He led an exemplary life as a husband, father and grandfather,"
said his wife, Beverly, a former Metro Toronto and North York
councillor. "His patients absolutely loved him."
Born to Jamaican immigrants, he was the youngest of six children.
His father, Robert, was a veteran of the Boer War in South Africa
at the turn of the last century while his mother was a nurse
with the Black Cross. A brainchild of Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican-born
champion of black nationalism, it was a local-community version
of the Red Cross and may have provided young Doug's early inspiration
to become a doctor.
After his parents died, he learned to light furnaces for a penny
a piece and worked three paper routes to help provide for himself
and his siblings, by then in the care of a widowed aunt. At high
school, low expectations for his race saw him channelled into
a technical program. Although he graduated at the top of his
class, young Doug
SALMON could not get a job.
All the while, he had been studying music. His piano teacher
at the Royal Conservatory of Music, impressed by the boy's intelligence
and desire to learn, pulled strings and found him work at Dominion
Bridge, then Canada's construction giant.
He started as outside yard boy. Because he was black, no one
would eat lunch with him, except for the
son of the company president.
His new friend saw ability in the young man and told his father.
As a result, Doug
SALMON was promoted to inside messenger boy
and at the same time attended evening classes at Jarvis Collegiate
to obtain his senior matriculation.
Interestingly, he spent other nights in an entirely different
role by fronting his own band. In the 1940s, Doug Salmon and his
Orchestra provided music in dance halls all over the Toronto
region.
Meanwhile, in his day job, he was beginning to put into practice
some of the theory he was soaking up at Jarvis. One day, he saw
staff gathered around a drawing, struggling to figure out an
angle. Using his night-school knowledge, he solved the problem.
Suddenly, others at Dominion Bridge saw talent in him, too. After
some training, he was given a job as a draftsman with the company.
Later, he worked briefly as a manager, and he no doubt sensed
real possibilities of advancement, but decided, instead, to go
back to school.
He enrolled at the University of Toronto and in 1951 obtained
a degree in physiology and biochemistry. He was accepted into
medical school, paying his way with help from a scholarship,
work as a draftsman, and by landing gigs as Doug Salmon and his
Orchestra. All the while maintaining marks that placed him in
the upper third of his class. He graduated in 1955.
Well before entering medical school, in 1942, he participated
in one of the first major protests against discrimination in
Toronto.
Because of their colour, one of his Friends, Roy
JOHNSTON,
and two out-of-town guests had been denied entry to the Palais
Royale, a ballroom on the Toronto lakeshore, to hear the black
jazz pianist Earl (Fatha) Hines.
At a time when black parents encouraged their children to remain
passive in the face of discrimination, Mr.
JOHNSTON formed a
protest committee. Doug
SALMON was among its leaders. Appearing
before the police commission, the police chief and mayor Bob
SAUNDERS, the committee requested a bylaw to end discrimination
in time for an upcoming appearance at the Palais Royale by bandleader
Duke Ellington. While the bylaw did not come about, Mr. Ellington
appeared instead at the Royal York Hotel, where blacks were allowed.
In February of 1945, Doug
SALMON was among those who protested
the barring of a black teenager from a Toronto skating rink,
joining a couple of hundred others outside the arena. The protest
was led this time by Art
BELL, who, as a member of a student
administration committee at the University of Toronto, was then
deeply involved in human rights. "It was a civil-rights protest
that was civil," Mr.
BELL said. "It wasn't one of those beat'em-up-and-break-the-windows
type of protests. We just marched."
By all accounts, it worked. After two nights of picketing and
a visit to the mayor, the group had its way. Mr.
SAUNDERS dusted
off a bylaw from the days of Upper Canada that said innkeepers
must provide lodging and refreshment to any traveller who has
the means to pay for the service. It was enacted the next day.
Along with Dr.
SALMON, other committee members rose to prominence.
Mr. JOHNSTON became a trustee of the Toronto Board of Education
and Wilson
BROOKS became one of Toronto's first black school
principals.
In a twist of fate, through his sister, Dr.
SALMON met his future
wife, Beverly
BELL, who also happened to both a nurse and Art
BELL's cousin. After marrying in 1956, they moved to Detroit,
where Dr. SALMON became a resident in general surgery.
Although offered a practice in Detroit, Dr.
SALMON returned home
where he and his wife started a family. In 1967, he landed a
job at Scarborough Centenary as a member of the general surgical
staff. He was the only black surgeon on staff, but not the first
black surgeon in Canada. That distinction belonged to another
Toronto doctor, Dr. Anderson Ruffin
ABBOTT, a man who had graduated
from the University of Toronto in 1861, served as a Union Army
surgeon during the American Civil War and afterward returned
home to be a resident surgeon at Toronto General Hospital, all
at a time when anesthesia was in its infancy.
Over the years, Dr.
SALMON put in long hours and gained a reputation
as a highly skilled practitioner with a caring and compassionate
bedside manner who had helped pioneer such techniques as bypass
surgery for the morbidly obese. In time, the hospital made him
chief of general surgery. As the first black person in the country
to head the surgical team at a large hospital, and someone in
whose hands lay the power of life and death, he had come a long
way from the construction yard at Dominion Bridge.
Dr. SALMON worked at Centenary from 1967 until 1995, and then
at the Rudd Clinic in Toronto. He retired in 1997.
He was awarded the Canadian Black Achievement Award for medicine
in 1986 and 1994. In his honour, his family has established the
Dr. John Douglas Graham Salmon Award for Black Medical Students.

He was 81. One sister, his wife, Beverly, children, Doug Jr.,

Heather and Leslie survive him. Four siblings and one grandchild

Steve "Gus"
BELL
By David WRIGHT,
Monday,
December 26, 2005, Page A28
Partner, stepfather, friend. Born January 23, 1952, in Ottawa.
Died June 26 in Ottawa of cancer, aged 53.
Steve BELL was born to us and us to him on the basketball court
at Leaside High School in Toronto in the late 1980's. As aging
men with flickering fantasies of one day cracking the National
Basketball Association, we gathered for a few hours each week
to silence our aching bodies and stave off a dawning sense of
our mortality.
From this love of sport, from the five original members, rose
a vision: a gathering of guys who could not only drive, dribble
and shoot, but knew the difference between a Steinbeck, an Amis
and a Richler novel. Steve, or Gus, as we christened him -- named
for the memorable figure from Larry McMurtry's epic western novel
Lonesome Dove, was a founding member of our group. We called
it S.M.C.R.B.C., the Some Men Can Read Book Club.
Gus passionately believed that a strong athletic body did not
automatically disqualify one from being a man who loved the written
word and could speak about it with a degree of intelligence and
sophistication. In the then smoky confines of the Red Lantern
tavern, with the gentle tones of Ron Nigrini wafting in the background,
we would lift a pint, rehash our night's highlights and discuss
the book that was on the menu that month.
Magically and unbeknownst to us a group began to form, which
now numbers at least 10 (Chris, Darrin, Frank [Vegas], Steve
T., Karl [Mailman], Robbie, Gerry, Ron, John [Shoes], Steve A.
and Tony), and over the years really only solidified as Gus received
the word that he was deathly ill.
Over the 13 years and about 140 books, Gus was a steadying and
clarifying presence. With his move to Ottawa six years ago, he
became our "writer in residence" and would send his book reports,
which were, as a ritual, read out loud at the end of the evening's
discussion. We would often remark how Gus had shed light on the
book and how he had somehow distilled our entire evening's discussion.
Gus, as a writer, had a way of putting things, of bringing things
together and it was as he lay dying that we realized his greatest
gift to us was in bringing us together as a group of fellows,
each from very different walks of life.
Gus stood out as the centrepiece of our annual golf and fishing
weekend held at Six Foot Bay near Peterborough, Ontario These
two days were characterized by the numbing consistency of no
fish caught and few rounds under 100 honestly scored. The laughter
was infectious and scenes like Gus sauntering across the lawn
between the cottages, looking like a well-partied Keith Richards,
are emblazoned on our psyches.
Gus had a wonderful sense of humour and was a true iconoclast,
who despised artifice and hypocrisy. He had a winsome way and
a generosity of spirit that we all felt and an authenticity that
made us all want to call him our friend.
Gus was such a character! He really was truly affronted when
every 20-foot jump shot or 30-foot putt missed its mark. We knew
little of the details of his life, but we did know that he deeply
loved and cherished his partner Pat and their family and that
he was never uncomfortable in letting us know this. Gus's passing
has left a void in our lives and his gift of bringing things
together will be sorely missed.
The lack of a monthly book report will sting, leaving us a bit
lost and adrift and feeling the absence of Gus's presence. It
will be a solemn and surreal moment for us all, yet somehow we
know the silence will be broken when one of us will say, "I wonder
what Gus would have said about this book?" We find it comforting
to know that Gus will be there with us. Cheers, Gus!
David is Steve's friend.

61 years of a wonderfully happy marriage. Devoted father of son
Paul▲ of Chicago and daughter Dian

and Dorothy's greatest joy in later years came from proudly watching
their five grandchildren grow into beautiful and talented young
ladies: Jennifer, Meredith and Devon
BELL of Cambridge and Stephanie
and Victoria
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON of Toronto. For his entire life, Ken's
heart remained rooted in his experiences growing up on the family
farm in Orton: he possessed a profound love for nature and animals.
From the one room school in Orton, he began a successful career
in the produce industry which started at the Food Terminal in
Toronto, and culminated in his appointment as V.P. of a large
international fruit brokerage firm in Minneapolis. In World War
2, Ken enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and completed
a tour of "ops" as a flight lieutenant navigator with the Royal
Air Force in India-Burma. The war years were pivotal in Ken's
life; the abiding sorrow of beloved brother "Dunc", missing in
action in 1942, made every day Remembrance Day for Ken. Retirement
in the early 80's back to Toronto afforded Ken the opportunity
to indulge his passion for politics (York West Tory Association)
and the Kiwanis Club of Islington, serving as President in 83-84.
Here, he found great fellowship while involving himself in their
goal to help others less fortunate than themselves. There will
be no visitation as cremation has taken place. A private family
service has been conducted at First United Church, Cambridge.

A way out for those lost at the bottom of a glass
By Jim COYLE,
Page
A24
It would be a world-class understatement to say that Dr. Gordon
BELL liked a challenge.
Who, after all, would choose to spend a lifetime treating some
of the most deluded, deceitful, unruly, unreliable, unhygienic,
destructive, apparently doomed and absolutely heart-breaking
patients there are?
But the Saint Mary's, Ont, farm boy, who died this week at 93, had,
as he put it, a "special calling" to work with alcoholics and
drug addicts. And for that, tens of thousands of families across
the continent surely thank him as his life is celebrated this
weekend.
After receiving his medical degree in 1943, then serving in the
army where he treated the psychiatric and emotional fallout of
war, with a wife and two children to support, and having already
suffered his own grief through the loss of a child to crib death,
R. Gordon BELL was unsure what to do with his career.
He thought his skills and experience could best be used treating
patients with emotional disorders.
BELL started small With statutes
of the day permitting physicians to take up to four patients
into their home for treatment, he setup shop. He assured his
wife, Mary; the worst they could expect were a few nervous old
ladies as guests.
BELL had no idea, he would recall in a 1989 memoir, that his
patients would turn out to be predominantly alcoholics, or that
his work in the field of addictions would eventually see him
appointed an officer of the Order of Canada and Win him the gratitude
of thousands of people who were once the bane of their families.
BELL was a pioneer in the field As he set out, he found almost
no useful guidelines in medical literature. The fellowship of
Alcoholics Anonymous was only a decade old. The addicted were
still widely regarded as incurable or hardly worth the bother.
He had to learn on the job.
BELL moved the operation out of his house and set up the first
of many clinics in Toronto for the treatment of addiction. Glenmaple.
Shadow Brook. The Willowdale Hospital for women. The Alex G.
Brown Clinic at Mimico reformatory and the Bell Clinic.
There were unexpected challenges along the way. The nurse who
took it upon herself to minister to patients in ways that risked
earning the clinic a reputation as a house of ill repute.
There were complications. The investigation by authorities into
complaints that
BELL was making a fortune sobering up wealthy
drunks (when he was barely breaking even).
And, always, there was the failure rate inherent to addictions
that would likely have discouraged less dedicated men "We were
losing far too many truly talented individuals Bell wrote in
his memoir. "The obituary columns reminded us constantly of the
price of failure."
There were also, however the gratifying signs of success.
When funds were being raised for the Donwood Institute in the
1960s, BELL said, "Our (former) patients - those 'hopeless characters'
nobody wanted - had contributed more than a half-million dollars
by themselves."
By then, BELL had become recognized as a rare font of expertise
in a singularly vexing field. He travelled widely in the U.S.
giving seminars on addiction treatment. Demands for his service
reflected the entirely democratic nature of addiction. He was
a regular lecturer at a Michigan retreat house for alcoholic
priests. He was sought by the United States. Navy to help deal
with alcoholism problems in its ranks.
Years on, after having founded Bellwood Health Services in the
1980s, Gordon
BELL still faithfully attended the graduation ceremonies
for those who had arrived at his doors as the nearest thing to
human wrecks.
He never ceased to be amazed at their stories. He also never
stopped thinking about the ones who, for all their new hope and
good intentions walking out the doors, didn't make it "Some of
the most brilliant, talented people I have known died in their
prime due to illness or injury related to addiction, in spite
of everything that we, Alcoholics Anonymous, or other agencies
could do," he said.
BELL could hardly have chosen better than to enter the field
he did. "Our patients have been a fascinating, frustrating, exciting
and challenging group of people who have presented us with every
conceivable variation of chemical dependency and related physical,
psychological, social and spritual problem."
As a young boy on the farm,
BELL was always impressed "By the
willingness of people to pitch in and help their Friends and
neighbours - and even strangers."
So impressed, he made it the story of his life.

David▲▼
Passed away at home on September 16th, 2005, surrounded by the
love of his family. He is survived by his wife of thirty-two
years, Annie. His beloved and beautiful Annie was his best friend
and life partner. David always said that it was the luckiest
day of his life when he met Annie. He believed that she was the
source of everything that was right and beautiful in his life.
Annie was truly the love of his life. David is also survived
by his wonderful children Jordan and Caitlin. David loved his
children very deeply and they were a source of immense pride
for him. David died gratified by the fact that his kids were
on their way to being meaningful and worthwhile adults. David
is also survived by his brother Stephen and sister Nancy, his
mother-in-law Agnes
GOESTL, and brother-in-law John
GOESTL.
Predeceased▲
by his parents George and Muriel
BELL, and his older brother
Michael. David privately fought a courageous two year battle
with colon cancer and its complications. Throughout the fight,
David never lost his sense of humour nor his sense of adventure.
Itis clear that he earned extra time with his family and Friends
through a combination of his unrelenting optimism and his incredible
tenacity. In the end, he lost the battle but he fought the good
fight. He would like to thank all who were involved with their
kind and compassionate care at the Brantford General Cancer Clinic.
David was very lucky to have a small group of steadfast Friends,
many of whom he'd known for decades. He told a few of these Friends
of the terminal nature of his predicament because of necessity
or proximity. Others, he did not tell because he hated spreading
more sadness around and he hoped that they would forgive him
for not telling them. He was particularly grateful to Steph and
Rolfie who were always there, above and beyond! To his Friends,
he loved you all. David was well known throughout Canada's public
relations industry as an executive recruiter. He established
the country's premier executive recruitment firm specializing
exclusively in public relations in the early 1990s and managed
it until his death. His honesty and integrity will be missed.
At David's request, there was no service. Cremation has taken
place. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, or charity of
your choice would honour his memory. Please come and help celebrate
David's life on Sunday, September 25th. Join family and Friends

Dr. Douglas
SALMON, 81: Surgeon, scholar
Dr. Douglas
SALMON known for his courage, humility, compassion
Fought for the rights of blacks to see jazz greats at Palais
Royale
By Philip MASCOLL,
Staff
Reporter
Dr.
John▲
Douglas▲ Graham Roy
SALMON was a kind and wonderful person
who had to struggle for everything he achieved, his family and
Friends say.
SALMON, who died last Wednesday at age 81, wasn't only the first
black surgeon in Canada. He was an accomplished pianist, scholar,
athlete and sculptor as well.
"From the moment I met him, I knew he was a person I could truly
respect, and I never varied from thinking that way," Beverley
(Bev) SALMON, his wife and former Metro Toronto and North York
councillor said of her partner for 49 years.
"He was always warm and loving to all the family. He had a way
of reaching out to people... he was loved by patients and colleagues
alike. He was truly a role model and inspiration."
His lifelong friend, lawyer Leonard
BRAITHWAITE,
Canada's first
black member of provincial parliament, called
SALMON "kind and
capable.
"This great land of ours is better because of him,"
BRAITHWAITE
said of the man he grew up with near Kensington Market.
BRAITHWAITE said that in those days, before World War 2, black
families were few and far between in Toronto.
SALMON's life was a story of triumph over adversity.
Born December 13, 1923, in Toronto to Jamaican immigrants Eugenie,
a Black Cross (the Marcus Garvey-originated medical corps) nurse,
and Robert, a veteran of the Boer War, Douglas was the youngest
of six children.
They became orphaned during the Great Depression when Douglas
was 6. Their mother's sister, Margaret
BROWN
(Aunt
Mag,) a childless
widow in her 50s, stepped in to raise them.
SALMON was independent and strong-willed even as a child. His
late sister, Stevella, used to recall that even from a very young
age, her baby brother was always insistent that "I'm going to
be a docta!"
Young Douglas
SALMON would let nothing stand in his way, according
to the family history.
Always resourceful and self-motivated he would go around the
neighbourhood and light furnaces for a penny, as well as work
three paper routes so he, too, could contribute to the family.
In the 1940s, "Doug Salmon and his Orchestra" entertained at dances,
parties and lodges in and around Toronto.
Not escaping the realities of racism of the day,
SALMON became
a protest leader on the Race Discrimination Committee (1942),
which battled for the rights of blacks to enter Toronto's Palais
Royale to see jazz greats such as Duke Ellington.
The protest came after he and a group of Friends were denied
admission to the Palais Royale to hear Earl "Fatha" Hines play
piano.
In a 1992 interview with the Star,
SALMON said while Canada didn't
have segregation in those days, blacks did find themselves shut
out of places. "You didn't see blacks as salespersons. As far
as education was concerned, you saw few blacks introduced to
university."
In 1951, he obtained his honours degree in physiology and biochemistry
from the University of Toronto, and in 1955, his medical degree,
graduating president of his second medical year.
SALMON received scholarships from the American Jessie Smith Noyes
Foundation and interned at Toronto Western Hospital.
In 1954, his sister Bea introduced him to Beverley
BELL, a young
Victorian Order nurse. They were married in 1956 and immediately
moved to Detroit.
Although he was offered a thriving practice in Detroit, the couple
chose to return to Toronto and started a family. They had four
children: J. Douglas Jr., Warren, Heather and Leslie.
In 1967, SALMON joined Scarborough Centenary Hospital's general
surgical staff. He was the busiest general surgeon there for
many years, which his colleagues attributed to not only his superior
skills and training, but also his work ethic, conscientious patient
care, disciplined lifestyle and great personality.
SALMON was known for his courage, humility and compassion, as
he became one of the first surgeons in Canada to treat the morbidly
obese with breakthrough gastric bypass surgery.
SALMON became president of Centenary's medical staff and was
later appointed chief of general surgery, the first black person
in Canada to hold such positions.
After retiring from Centenary Hospital in 1995, he joined the
Rudd Clinic in downtown Toronto. He retired from practice in
SALMON was a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and a fellow
of the American College of Surgeons.
In recognition of his outstanding stature and service to the
community, he was awarded the Canadian Black Achievement Award,
Medicine.
In tribute to their beloved husband and father, his family has
established the Dr. John Douglas Graham Salmon Award for Black
Medical Students, administered through the University of Toronto's
faculty of medicine.
Donations to the award may be made c/o The Medical Science Building,
Room 2306, 1 Kings College Circle, Toronto, M5S 1A8, or call
Ingrid GRAHAM, 416-946-7681.
Visitation will take place today at Jerrett Funeral Home, 6191
Yonge Street, south of Steeles Ave., from 2-4 p.m. and from 7-9
p.m.
A funeral is to be held at 11 a.m. tomorrow at Saint John's York
Mills Anglican Church, 19 Don Ridge, North York, with a reception
to follow at the church. The interment is private.

and brothers-in-law. Mom was born in England on August 5, 1927
and at the age of three moved to Canada with her family, where
she later met her husband David. Raising fourteen children in
tough times was a full time job, however, this exceptional mother
always worked late at night at a "real" job for extra income
to help support her family. Many will remember her little car
up and down the concessions as a rural route mail lady. For many
years Mom was a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion
where she volunteered her time and efforts. Mom loved her bingo,
her bowling and her golf. In retirement she enjoyed wintering
in Panama City and Phoenix where she was a true sun worshipper.
If wealth were measured by family and Friends, Mom had riches
beyond compare. Our family would like to thank the staff, physicians
and nurses at The Wynfield in Oshawa and Markham Stouffville
Hospital for their wonderful care. Friends may call at Low and

before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or
lifetimes, is certain for those who are Friends."
