A Tribute To Marion
(written by one of Marion's special Friends)
Such a special friend is so hard to find, and we were so blessed to call you "mine".
You cherished your family with love and pride, and graciously took each day in stride.
Together with Bruce you shared a wonderful life, you each chose so well for a husband and wife.
Your children you cherished, your precious grandchildren as well, with each new arrival your heart would swell.
Your gardens, your flowers you tended with care, your gifts and your talents you would unselfishly share.
Your quiet little chuckle, your beautiful brown eyes, your welcoming home, your meals and your pies.
As a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a grandma, an aunt, a niece or a friend, you loved each and everyone right to the end.
In cards we were told we didn't play our hands, so we laughed and we chuckled and tried a new plan.
But trying to play like the men soon went amuck, because they really never had a plan.. just plain old luck.
A campfire, a New Years eve party, a visit... whatever, we always had such a great time together
We will cherish always these wonderful things, especially now that you've been given your angel wings.
We know not what the Lord has in His plan, so we will carry on bravely and try to understand.
Your journey has been such an incredible one, but far too soon, that journey was done.
Your reward in Heaven will be great I know, for your faith and your courage you would always show.
Some days like these in life it seems the pleasures are few, but we only have to recall what a pleasure it was to have a friend like you!

SLATER, Eric
In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Eric, who passed away one year ago today.
This past year without you
Is the hardest we've ever known
We treasure every thought of you,
And keen them as our own.
Although we cannot see you
You are with us night and day.
For the love that was between us
Death cannot take away.
The nexttime we will see you
Will be at Heaven's Doors
You'll be there to greet us
And we will cry no more.
We'll put our arms around you
And kiss your smiling face
Than the pieces of our broken hearts
Will fall back into place.
People tell us we have memories
But they don't understand
How can we hug a memory
Or hold a memory's hand.
It tears could built a stairway
And memories a lane
We'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
Deeply loved and missed by wife Marguerite and children Sonny (Dawn), Margaret Ann (Murray) DICKSON/DIXON, Lewis (Ruth), Shirley (Rob) JONES, 13 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren.

In loving memory of Donna Marie DICKSON/DIXON.
A special smile, a special face,
A part of our family we can't replace
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason helps the emptiness we feel.
Each morning when we wake up,
We know that you are gone,
No one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
The special years will not return,
When we were all together,
But like the love within our hearts,
You will be with us forever.
Always loved and remembered, Dad and Diane.
You are the wind beneath my wings.

Eleanor McRobie WINTERS
By Nancy WINTERS, Thursday, September 22, 2005, Page A26
Political consort, musician, mentor. Born July 22, 1911, in Smiths Falls, Ontario Died March 23 in Toronto, aged 93.
Eleanor McRobie (DICKSON/DIXON) WINTERS's family was her vocation, but for a time she shared the very public life of her parliamentarian husband, the late Robert H. WINTERS. Although she did not care for the spotlight, she won hosts of admirers. She was lovely. At 93, she still had Vogue-model cheekbones, and the most beautiful nose I have ever seen. We were privileged to know her grace, wit, and friendliness, as well as her artist's soul, her insatiable intellect, and her towering character.
Eleanor was an unselfconscious musician who broke into song whenever her emotional impulses required it. As a young mother, she played violin with the Ottawa Chamber Orchestra, and shared her love of music with her children. Her daughter Marny remembers "afternoons spent making music with Mum, she on the violin and I at the piano."
Eleanor lost her son Richard when he was 13 and her husband Robert at 59. To deal with her inevitable grief, she took very long walks. Most characteristically, however, she appreciated life. In her 80s, she took up painting colourful canvases, which we prize as witnesses: to her surprising joy. In her last week, in pain, nearly deaf and almost blind, her frustration was deep. Seeking to distract her, I offered her chocolate. "Oh, chocolate!" she thrilled, hands clasped in delight.
"Oh!" was her most typical sentiment. She was an avid Floridian who loved the beach and the heat; yet, on a frigid January day in Sault Ste. Marie, she could warble "Oh, the beautiful air!"
All of the enchantments of place and people came together for her in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia She revelled in the history of the fishing town, held in awe the brave men and their stoic wives. She found her Lunenburg Friends "old world, formal and gracious," and she was euphoric whenever she was with them.
The dominant impulses of Eleanor's long life were learning and teaching. A selective reader of the most challenging literature, she could never be bothered with the merely modern. She preferred to re-read the "greats," including Shakespeare and his most erudite commentators.
She also gathered a broad-ranging mix of information. One of her last letters to her son Henry included this characteristic paragraph: "Since my latest lesson on how to open a drawer and pick up a chair, I can't think of a single thing that I know which you don't already know -- except -- did you know that gold is the single best investment now? Also, that Prince Edward, Prince of Wales, who died in 1376, was called the Black Prince only because he wore black armour?"
In matters of health, Mom's mentorship was vigorous and undeterred by resistance. Fearful for the long-term reliability of her teeth, she undertook to save ours, too. Her grandchildren endured gum-lacerating brushing lessons and all of us received the lectures. One granddaughter accurately assesses her influence: "If it had not been for Gamy, we would all be toothless, inarticulate, and fat."
But Eleanor's specialty was stewardship. Her grand_son described her as an "original environmentalist." She was dismayed by the quantity of food in our refrigerator, and that we had no outdoor clothesline. In her own home, there was always barely enough food in the refrigerator; she dried and reused the paper towels. Excess and waste were anathema to her.
She was a lady with the interests, manners and convictions of an earlier generation, but Eleanor was also truly ahead of her time. She was a broad-minded optimist who rejected negativity in any form.
Nancy is Eleanor's daughter-in-law.

GRAY/GREY, Peter Forbes (April 1933-September 2005)
After a brief, stoic battle with cancer, Peter leaves his wife of 46 years, Muriel May (née BEAUFIELD;) his son John Charles GRAY/GREY (San Diego;) daughter Susan M. GRAY/GREY (Halifax;) and brother John H. GRAY/GREY (La Châtre, France;) predeceased by his sister Mary Louise ROSE. Born in Windsor, Ontario, son of the late Mary A. GRAY/GREY (née HAWKEY) and John Campbell GRAY/GREY. Following his graduation from Nepean High School in Ottawa, Ontario, Peter embarked on several expeditions to the Canadian Arctic as a steward aboard the icebreaker D'Iberville. He gained a life-long appreciation and admiration of the North, its natives and their art. Peter graduated from Carleton University in Ottawa with a Bachelor of Science, Geology in 1957 and began work that summer with McNamara Construction, first in Belleville, Ontario, and soon after in Witless Bay, Newfoundland. It was there he had the good fortune of meeting his soon-to-be wife Muriel, who was working as a nurse in Saint John's. When they married in 1959, the United Church Minister insisted on knowing where Peter was from 'in Newfoundland' Windsor, Ontario was not acceptable and their marriage certificate states that Peter is from Witless Bay. Peter's experiences with roadbuilding and heavy equipment led him to join the Caterpillar Company first in Toronto in 1960 and later in Halifax in 1972 with Nova Scotia Tractor and Equipment. As General Sales Manager and later Vice-President Corporate Development, Peter was regarded as an excellent salesman and an inspiring manager. On a wine tasting trip to France in 1983, Peter was named a 'Hospitalier d'Honneur' by the Hospitaliers de Pomeral; it was a moment he truly prized. With retirement in July 1998, Peter's life was filled with the joy of a first grandchild (and 'best pal',) Oliver Peter DICKSON/DIXON and in 2001 Gunnar Eric GRAY/GREY. He also began the seven year commitment to the care of his ailing spouse. He was a fine man, full of love and generosity and we will miss him forever. Donations in Peter's name may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Visitation: Tuesday, October 4, 2005 from 6: 00-9:00 p.m. at J.A. Snow Funeral Home, 2666 Windsor Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3K 5C9.

DICKSON/DIXON, Brian,▼ 1998 -- Died This Day
Monday, October 17, 2005, Page S8
Lawyer and jurist born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan., in 1916.
After studying law in Manitoba, he was called to the bar in 1940 only to have his career interrupted by the Second World War. He joined the Royal Canadian Artillery and was sent overseas. He was seriously wounded in the fighting and later had a leg amputated. After the war he practised law and lectured at the Manitoba Law School until he was appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench in Manitoba in 1963. Ten years later, he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada and surprised many observers by becoming a vigorous defender of individual and minority rights. During the mid-1970s, he, Bora LASKIN and Wishart SPENCE formed a liberal troika on the court. He presided over a court that imposed strict limits on governments' ability to pass laws that interfered with people's rights. The top court demanded that Manitoba become legislatively bilingual, overturned Quebec laws restricting the use of English and upheld the education rights of francophones in Alberta. He was also part of decisions striking down religious bans on Sunday shopping, upholding historic native-treaty rights and wiping out a national abortion law as a violation of women's rights.

LASKIN was Supreme
The late Supreme Court chief justice Bora LASKIN went where no Canadian had gone before A non-conformist, he reinvented a stuffy bench while appealing to the layman, writes Tracey TYLER, Page F3
Canada's great chief justice of the 20th century had a word for his successes in life: accidentalism. If true, Bora LASKIN's arrival at the Supreme Court in the spring of 1970 might have been one of the best-timed accidents in Canadian history.
To the south, the United States Supreme Court was coming off a series of star turns with its history-making decisions on civil rights, from an end to school segregation to the Miranda ruling on the right to remain silent.
Life at Canada's top court had little of the same electricity.
Caught in a straitjacket of English law, never daring to take the pulse of the public, its nine male judges saw their job as correcting errors of courts below rather than developing a body of Canadian-made law, an approach that earned the court no profile internationally and little respect at home. Lawyers bemoaned its hidebound style.
Within a decade, however, an unassuming former law professor delivered the shock treatment many felt it needed.
LASKIN's appointment was the legal equivalent of Pierre Elliott Trudeau sweeping into office, Supreme Court Justice Ian BINNIE told a recent Toronto symposium that examined LASKIN's legacy and his enduring appeal -- 35 years after his appointment to the court, as its first Jewish judge, and 40 years after his appointment to the Ontario Court of Appeal.
Many judges have served on the Supreme Court longer, but LASKIN had an indelible impact.
The court that captured the country's attention this month with a landmark ruling on health care was essentially one he created. He took a court that banned lawyers from citing works by living authors and "reinvented" it -- opening its doors to interveners and narrowing its focus to issues of national importance, BINNIE said.
LASKIN, who died in 1984 at age 71, never lived to see the impact of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. But as they assess his place in history, many legal scholars credit him with paving the way for the Charter by pushing judges to look beyond the letter of the law and consider social realities.
There's something more.
"He was the only serious, intellectual, non-conformist disturber to serve as chief justice," BINNIE said.
It seems Canadians liked what they saw.
"In my research, everyone knew Bora LASKIN... but no one who was not a lawyer could ever identify any chief justice after him," said Philip GIRARD, an associate dean at Dalhousie Law School and author of Bora LASKIN: Bringing Law to Life, a new book out this fall.
"LASKIN had a certain spark and he was associated with a lay person's idea of justice. He sort of helped convince them the court was on their side."
It helped that he appealed to notions of what a chief justice should be. Looking every inch a part of the establishment, LASKIN fit perfectly with his mutton-chopped predecessors pictured around the Supreme Court, BINNIE said.
In truth, he was the justice system's most trenchant critic and an anti-establishment figure, a trait sometimes discernible through an "armour-piercing gaze" that would put former Montreal Canadien Rocket Richard to shame, he said.
LASKIN enjoyed the oyster special at Ottawa's Rideau Club, but his favourite snack was a sardine and onion sandwich. He once pinch-hit for the governor general by delivering the throne speech (coached in French by daughter Barbara) but considered his proudest achievement belting the longest home run out of the ballpark in his hometown of Fort William, now part of Thunder Bay.
Frequently parting company with fellow judges on the law, he earned a reputation, some say undeservedly, as a "great dissenter" and some detractors.
"There were many lower court judges who hated him. They thought he was totally crazy," GIRARD said.
LASKIN dissented in no less than 108 cases in his 14 years on the court and many of his opinions, considered radical at the time, did become law, including a groundbreaking 1975 ruling that Iris Murdoch was entitled to an equal share of the family's Alberta ranch after separation.
He most famously broke rank in the politically charged 1981 patriation reference. True to his belief in strong central government, LASKIN found it would not defy convention to bring the Constitution home from England and entrench a Charter without consent from the provinces. The majority view forced a first ministers' conference and a deal that alienated Quebec.
BINNIE said LASKIN's independent streak is why he remains intriguing. Trudeau's decision to name him chief justice in 1974 would have been like making Martin Luther the Pope, he added.
It couldn't have helped that he leapfrogged over other judges with more seniority.
A chilly atmosphere predated his arrival at the court and may explain why he felt one of his great contributions had nothing to do with law. It was building a lunchroom, said his son, John, a judge on the Ontario Court of Appeal.
"At times, I think my dad found the Supreme Court of Canada to be a pretty isolated place. Judges tended to go their own ways."
LASKIN said he's not sure what his father would have thought of the symposium. He preferred to look to the future, not the past. But the irony of the Law Society of Upper Canada hosting the event in Osgoode Hall would have brought a smile to his face, he said.
The law society snubbed LASKIN and two fellow professors, Caesar WRIGHT and John WILLIS, by refusing to recognize the faculty of law they created at the University of Toronto after they quit their Osgoode Hall teaching jobs in 1949.
LASKIN studied undergraduate law at U of T, then completed a master's and his legal articles before heading to Harvard University to study for a master of law under future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter in 1936-37.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal was in full swing and people like Frankfurter were challenging conventional legal thinking. A similar skepticism permeated LASKIN's academic writings.
"His basic message was the courts are really out of touch. They don't understand modern conditions and are living in a nostalgic dream world," GIRARD said.
LASKIN was born in Fort William on October 5, 1912, to Russian immigrants whose priority was a good education for their sons and who helped pay for it by renting out their home.
LASKIN's father moved into a hotel and ran the family's furniture store, while LASKIN's mother went to work as a housekeeper in Toronto. LASKIN and his brothers followed.
The academic credentials he racked up at Harvard weren't enough to get him a job after graduation.
Shut out of Toronto law firms by restrictions on Jewish lawyers, he wrote case summaries at 50 cents each for law reports. In 1940, he took over for his former teacher at University of Toronto and became a "workhorse" later at the law school, teaching more courses than anyone else, said former student and retired judge Horace KREVER. LASKIN's children say he would have happily stayed a professor.
"I think he enjoyed his work more than anyone I have known," said his son. "He also had a capacity to work extremely long hours and a tremendous ability to survive on very little sleep, which I don't have."
Two and 3 a.m. bedtimes were common, said daughter, Barbara, who recalls her father coming down the hall late at night, rubbing his hands "in glee" after knocking off another judgment.
LASKIN worked in a basement office his children called "the dungeon" but always had dinner with his children and wife, Peggy.
There were many family vacations by car. Though not a good swimmer, LASKIN liked being near water and found it soothing. When they were together, he rarely talked shop.
"My dad had two great loves in his life. One was law. The other was his family," his son said. "He watched me play basketball he watched Barbara dance."
"The LASKINs had a hoop in their driveway and it got a lot of use from the neighbourhood," said Justice Stephen GOUDGE of the Ontario Court of Appeal, who got to know LASKIN as the father of his nursery school friend John.
Later, he came to appreciate LASKIN's role in shaping the country's postwar labour law.
Courts were hostile to administrative tribunals, such as labour relations boards, but LASKIN argued they should be left to do their work. He was also in high demand as a labour arbitrator and GIRARD considers LASKIN's arbitration rulings among his most significant.
They include his decision during a 1958 strike at a Scarborough plant that arbitrators could award damages for breach of a collective agreement.
On the Supreme Court, LASKIN was in the minority in siding with Sophie Carswell's right to picket her employer's business at a Winnipeg shopping centre, considered off limits as private property. LASKIN likened malls to modern-day town squares.
As a judge, LASKIN liked nothing more than having former law students appear before him. But nothing "peeved" him more than sloppy English, Barbara said. A lawyer who uttered the words "at this point in time" was likely to be met with a stern stare, followed by the question, "You mean, 'today?'"
He was proud when a former English teacher called to say she used one of his judgments as an example of good writing. He always wrote in longhand, said his son, who does the same.
As he settled in on the court, LASKIN churned out more judgments every year, said symposium organizer Neil FINKELSTEIN. He dissented less often. When he did, Justices Wishart SPENCE and Brian DICKSON/DIXON often joined him. They were known as the " LSD gang."
And the others? LASKIN rarely spoke candidly of those who disagreed with him, but former law clerk John McCAMUS, now an Osgoode Hall Law School professor, recalls him letting down his guard just once. When he arrived at the chief justice's office, LASKIN, with a twinkle in his eye, handed him a dissenting judgment.
Then, he dusted off an apocalyptic phrase, one used by reporters to describe conservative judges who blocked progressive U.S. legislation in the 1930s. "I wonder," he said, "what the Four Horsemen will think."
