PHILLIPS, Elmer Shortridge (1918-2004)
After a long and happy life, Elmer died peacefully on December 31 following a long battle with Parkinson's disease. A true lover of people and music, a bon vivant with a talent for Friendship and humour, a devoted husband and father, Elmer possessed an ageless spirit and enduring energy that will stay with us forever. Elmer's life embraced the worlds of business, arts and academe in a unique way. He was a pioneer in management education in Canada through his many years at York University and the University of Toronto. A professor, a humanist, a singer and marathon runner, he touched many people across business, the arts and educational communities in Toronto and internationally with his strength to connect and communicate.
Predeceased by beloved wife Ruth BURTON and brother Ross PHILLIPS, he will be missed by his four children, David (Leslie BOWLAND,) Brock (Winnie HOBBS), Joan, Patricia (Neil FREEMAN), his grandchildren Katie and Betsy PHILLIPS, as well as sister-in-law Peggy OULLAHAN, brother-in-law Irwin OULLAHAN and family. Born in Toronto to Edgar and Minnie PHILLIPS, Elmer attended Malvern Collegiate, the University of Toronto (Victoria College 1943), and went on to do graduate work in industrial psychology. His true passion was singing and popular music and throughout high school and university, Elmer honed his talents as a vocalist with local dance bands and as a performer in musical theatre. A highlight of his life was his time as a cast member of the Royal Canadian Navy Show "Meet The Navy" touring Canada and Europe between 1943 and 1946. Following a brief period as a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation announcer after World War 2, Elmer began a career in personnel and human resource management with Household Finance, Great-West Life and Simpson Sears. He later focused on management education, joining the Extension Division of the University of Toronto. In 1964, Elmer moved to Geneva, Switzerland to work with the Management Development Branch of the International Labour Organization advising on productivity and management training in Asia and the Middle East. He later continued to work with the International Labour Organization on projects based in Sofia, Bulgaria. Elmer joined the Faculty of Administrative Studies at York University (now Schulich School of Business) in 1967, where he served as the Director of the Division of Executive Development until 1988. In 1994, he was honoured for outstanding contribution to the Faculty of Administrative Studies at York. Elmer was an enthusiastic supporter of the arts in Toronto and for many years found great enjoyment as an active member of the Arts and Letters Club, including a term as President. Elmer was also an Honourary Life Member of the Human Resource Professionals Association of Ontario and more recently a representative on the Senate of Victoria College, University of Toronto. His life was greatly enriched by time spent at Jack Lake where he loved to be with family and Friends.
The family wishes to extend its heartfelt thanks for the care given to Elmer during his illness, to Annette EBANKS and to the wonderful staff of K2 Centre at the Sunnybrook Veterans Residence. The family will receive Friends at the Humphrey Funeral Home - A.W. Miles Chapel, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Eglinton Avenue East), from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, January 5. Funeral to be held at the Chapel on Thursday, January 6 at 1: 00 p.m. A special celebration honouring Elmer's life will be organized for the spring with details to follow.
Elmer's credo was "Flowers for the living," and he expressed this compassionate philosophy by ensuring that accomplishments and efforts are given appreciation today, not tomorrow. In memory of Elmer, please recognize anyone in your life who brings help and joy to others. Donations to the Parkinson Society of Canada, 4211 Yonge Street, Toronto would be greatly appreciated in lieu of flowers.

SIM, Robert Alexander " Alex"
Born May 20th, 1911 on a farm in Saskatchewan, died peacefully in Guelph, April 23rd, 2005 in his 94th year. Growing up in the country deeply affected Alex, and he dedicated his life to rural sociology and adult education, in which he was a true Canadian pioneer. He received his Bachelor's Degree from the University of Toronto, his Master's Degree from Columbia University, New York -- and in 1938 he became the first director of Adult Education at McGill University. These experiences led to his co-founding the National Farm Radio Forum, for which he was National Secretary. After the war, he taught at the University of Toronto and co-authored the bestseller Crestwood Heights, the first study of suburban Canada. In 1954 he became Chief Liaison Officer for the Department Citizenship and Immigration, where he supported community development throughout the country. In 1963 he founded Strathmere and Associates, run with then-wife Eleanor and children Heather, David and Robert. Strathmere was part training centre, park folk farm, part artist community and as Alex liked to point out, also a profitable farm. In the early 1970s Eleanor and Alex parted amicably, and in 1975 Alex wed second wife Barbara (BOWLER,) and welcomed her sons Peter and Christopher into his heart. Together Alex and Barbara lived on eco-friendly Robin Wood farm, and later moved to Guelph for an active (and activist) semi-retirement. Never one to sit still, Alex completed his second book Land and Community, and wrote The Other Side of Yesterday, a work that binds together his great loves: family and rural community. He is survived by loving wife Barbara, sister Islay, children Heather, David (and wife Carol), Robert ( and wife Margaret), step children Peter ( and wife Yoko), Christopher ( and wife Joanne), and grandchildren Booker, Winona, Eric, Eli, John, Virgile and Rachael. In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, donations can be made to the R. Alex Sim Memorial Fund at Queen's University (Rural Ministry) or a charity of choice. He will be buried in Holstein, meters from Scottish ancestors who arrived over two centuries ago. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, April 27th at 2: 00 p.m. at Harcourt Memorial Church in Guelph. Arrangements entrusted to Gilbert MacIntyre and son Funeral Home, Dublin Chapel, 252 Dublin Street North, Guelph (519-822-4731).

BOWLES, David▲ Thompson▲
With▲ sadness, we announce the passing of David BOWLES on Friday, December 9, 2005, age 69. Beloved husband of Shirley. Devoted son of Elizabeth (and the late William R. BOWLES) and loving brother of William (Lynne). David leaves behind to celebrate his life his children: Karen (Bill) HAMMOND, Lori▲ (Paul▲) RIVEST, Shirley (Michael DARBY;) and cherished grandchildren Derek, Paul Michael, John, Martha and Michael. David was President of Carton Trade Services for 20 years, and a respected business leader in the paper box industry. In his youth, he was a fierce defenseman for the Junior A Barrie Flyers. He continued to play hockey for many years afterward, enjoying the camaraderie of his teammates in old-timers' hockey leagues. He was a man of great strength, pride and generosity. He was happiest sharing a laugh with his family and Friends, especially when playing jokes on them. His sense of humour had become legendary in his neighbourhood. Although David had wished to be floated down the Don River in a cardboard box wrapped in blazing Christmas lights, instead the family has arranged for visitation at Ogden Funeral Home, 4164 Sheppard Ave. E., Agincourt, (416) 293-5211 on Monday from 7-9 p.m. and Tuesday, 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral will be held in the Ogden Chapel on Wednesday at 2 p.m. The family would like to convey their deepest gratitude to Dr. SHOGILEV, Durham▲ Access-to-Care, and especially Lara LEMIEUX for their care and kindness throughout David's long illness.

Schools mourn 'hero' teacher
By Kate DUBINSKI, Free Press Reporter
Two rural communities struggled yesterday to cope with grief after an elementary school teacher collapsed while reading to his class and died.
Mark MUELLEJANS, 33, collapsed in his rocking chair while teaching his Grade 2 class at North Meadows public school in Strathroy Tuesday.
The Glencoe native was in his fifth year of teaching, and was known in both communities as an upbeat, committed and inspiring teacher.
"He had a great spirit. He never gave up," MUELLEJANS's mother, Colene, said yesterday.
MUELLEJANS, who had an enlarged heart, was well-known in Glencoe after surviving a fatal form of cancer during his teenage years.
"He was 17 when he was diagnosed and the doctors didn't think he would make it," said his father, Peter.
"We almost lost him then."
Through complications with lymphoma, MUELLEJANS continued to inspire others, attending his prom in a wheelchair wearing a fedora to cover his bald head.
"He was quite a legend in this community because of his fight and his survival," said Jane BOWLEY, a physical education teacher at Glencoe District high school, which MUELLEJANS attended. "He had such a great sense of humour. One of the only ways I know how to describe him is 'carpe diem.' He's a hero. He lived his life to the fullest."
MUELLEJANS was devoted to his nine-year-old son. He shared custody of the boy with his wife, from whom he was separated.
He was a Terry Fox Run representative at Ekcoe Central public school.
MUELLEJANS attended Ekcoe Central public school as a child and later taught there.
He spoke about his battle with cancer at the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Glencoe and walked the Survivor's Walk for the last two years. Last year, he ran the entire 12 hours of the relay.
An athlete, MUELLEJANS also ran marathons, played basketball and volleyball and swam.
His death this week, doctors told his parents, was next to impossible to predict.
"They said that his heart was one-and-a-half times the size of a normal heart and it's amazing he was able to do all the things he did," Peter said.
MUELLEJANS's first teaching job, five years ago, was at Ekcoe Central.
Teachers and those he taught were in shock yesterday.
"The impact that he had on the staff and students, it's impossible to measure," said principal Sue BANDEEN. "He was the heart of the community. He was a Glencoe boy through and through."
MUELLEJANS's classrooms were "animated but disciplined," BANDEEN said. "He was a very positive teacher. You walked into his class and he was telling a joke or a story. He just lit up a room."
MUELLEJANS coached sports and volunteered at after-school activities. He became a role model for healthy life choices while on the healthy schools committee at Ekcoe Central, BANDEEN said.
This school year would have been MUELLEJANS's second at North Meadows in Strathroy.
Yesterday, the Thames Valley District school board's trauma team was at both elementary schools helping people cope. Some teachers took the day off to collect themselves.
Some schools will pause during tomorrow's Terry Fox run for a moment of silence.
Others will give special tributes to the passionate teacher later this month.
MUELLEJANS' funeral is scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. at Van Heck Funeral Home in Glencoe.
