PETERSEN, Niels▼ Forrester▼ (1912-2005)
On November 25th, at his home in Toronto, Niels taught us how to die with as much panache as he had taught us how to live. He passed away peacefully at 10.30 p.m., surrounded by family and Friends, amid, laughter and tears, stories and songs. Niels was predeceased by his beloved wife Betty, his parents Niels and Amelia, and his sisters Irene and Thora. He will be deeply missed by his son Charles, daughter-in-law Riki TUROFSKY, daughter Jane and much loved grandchildren Corbett, Niels and James (Lara) PETERSEN, and Miranda, Jennifer and Katie BURFIELD. He will be greatly missed by his niece Victoria (Ken SPARKS,) and by many Friends▼ including Else KILDEGAARD, and Niels Kildegaard PEDERSEN of Denmark, Doris LAFRENIER, Gordon▼ FOOTE, David and Cathy WILKES, Saturday▼ morning coffee klatch Friends Marie and Jim McGORMAN, Tessa BUCHAN, Julie▼ and Mike PARKER and their wonderful daughter Katelyn,▼ by Garry HANRAHAN, Oksana▼ CHUYKO and also by long-time business associates and Friends Ted TREMAIN and Jim McMYN, and by Brenda WHITE/WHYTE who cared for him and made him laugh to his last hours. Niels was born July 3, 1912 in Ansdell, Lancashire. He was educated in Lytham Saint Annes and in Copenhagen, Denmark, before emigrating to Canada in 1929. Niels began a more than 70-year association with the Young Men's Christian Association of Canada when he joined West End Young Men's Christian Association, becoming Chairman of the National Board of Canada, and Chair of the International Finance Committee in Geneva, Switzerland. He was awarded the Fellowship of Honour by the Young Men's Christian Association in 1982. Niels met his beloved wife, Betty BAUCKHAM, at Young Men's Christian Association Geneva Park in 1938, and managed to engage her interest by disabling her boyfriend with a rigourous course of gymnastics. They were married in Toronto in 1942, shortly before Niels joined the Queens Own Rifles. Flat feet kept Niels from serving overseas. During his service career he trained new recruits in physical fitness, including one grateful Officer who told him 50 years later that his training kept him alive on the beaches of Normandy. While in the army, Niels completed a three-year business correspondence course from Queens University in one year, leading to a 60-year career in business. Niels was President and Chairman of the Board of Sterling Trust, and Chairman of Wellington Trust. He guided Investors Finance Corporation Limited and Commercial Financial for many decades. Niels' passion for boating, begun at 50 when his son, Charles, taught him how to sail, led to hours of peace and challenge in his much loved Nonsuch sailboats both in Florida and Ontario. He enjoyed photography, travel, classical music, and walking. A more recent hobby was following sailing races and reading newspapers from around the world on his computer. He particularly enjoyed listening to Rev. Dr. Andrew STIRLING, broadcast on the internet from Timothy Eaton Church, on the Sundays he was not able to get to service. Saturday morning coffee with Friends at the St. Lawrence Market demonstrated his lifelong gift, an ability to talk with anyone, about anything, at anytime, with laughter and zest. The family wishes to thank Dr. Vincent CHIEN and the A Team at St. Michael's Hospital, for their remarkable care during his final month, and Dr. David GREENBERG for his special kindness. Friends may call at the Turner and Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. West, at Windermere, East of the Jane Subway, on Tuesday, November 29, from 2-4 pm and 7-9 p.m. A service in celebration of his life will take place at Timothy Eaton Church on Wednesday, November 30 at 3.00 p.m. Donations may be made in his memory to a favorite charity. It is not often that a man can live for most of a century, can experience life before telephones, cars or airplanes were common, and can enjoy the fun of WiFi on an IMac, lucid to the end. He will be lovingly remembered and sorely missed.

Motorcyclist dies after crash
By Sharon HO, Free Press Reporter
A 19-year-old Perth County man is dead after crashing in what police termed a motorcycle race.
But another teenager involved in the Thursday night crash denied the two were racing.
Eric WOUTERS was at a house party with 18-year-old Chris OTTEN, both from St. Paul, when they decided to race on a country road, Perth County Ontario Provincial Police said yesterday.
The road, Line 26, is about 10 kilometres southwest of Stratford.
"They were travelling well in excess of the speed limit (80 kilometres an hour,)" Const. Glen CHILDERLEY said.
OTTEN said he didn't know WOUTERS well and they were joking around when they decided to go for a ride. They rode for slightly less than a kilometre before the crash, he said.
"He was ahead of me when he got into a speed wobble -- the front end of his motorcycle started shaking.
"Then he lost control. He went down in front of me. I hit the brakes hard and flew over the handlebars."
A resident called the Ontario Provincial Police, who arrived at 11 p.m. to find the men lying in a corn field.
Both were taken to Stratford General Hospital where WOUTERS died.
OTTEN was released after being treated for a broken wrist and burns on his knees, arm and back. He also received stitches on a foot and elbow.
OTTEN said he was driving his boss's motorcycle and had only driven a motorcycle three or four times before.
Police said OTTEN has a motorcycle licence. It was not immediately clear whether WOUTERS had one.
An autopsy was to be performed on WOUTERS yesterday.
