Harry J. BOYLE
By John David
HAMILTON,
Wednesday,
February▼ 9, 2005 - Page S9
John David
HAMILTON of Keswick, Ontario, writes about Harry J.
BOYLE, whose obituary ran on January 24.
I worked with Harry for many years in radio and television and
saw close up his vision and great contribution to the media.
One day in 1961, he called me into his office and showed me a
short inside-page story in The New York Times that said president
John Kennedy was increasing the number of military advisers in
Vietnam from 7,000 to 16,000. I said: "So what?" Harry said,
"If this isn't stopped, it will usher in one of the worst wars
in history." So I asked him what we were expected to do about
it? He told me to head up a documentary project to be called
The Conscience of Manitoba For a year, a group of us dug into
the consciences of politicians, philosophers, theologians, authors
and nations, and the programs won many award.
Harry's vision was like that. Among some of his other lesser-known
achievements was to "invent" daytime radio programming when he
hired Bruno
GERUSSI to talk to housewives in the morning. Bruno
set the pattern for the late Peter
GZOWSKI, and his successor,
Shelagh ROGERS.
He also invented a new type of religious programming called Concern
with Peter Meggs, a former Anglican minister, as host. The program
continues on radio as Tapestry and is a civilized analysis and
discussion of many religions and beliefs. Project, his major
documentary series for radio, dug into all kinds of unusual areas
from taking the 1960s temperatures of America and Canada to concerts
of the Red Army Chorus and studies of the changing modern woman.
These programs, along with work done on Assignment, revolutionized
the techniques of radio and had a great influence on television
when it began using videotape. Earlier, he had also introduced
the use of portable reel-to-reel tape recorders.
His freelancers, proudly calling ourselves Boyle's Irregulars,
were cordially hated by bureaucracies, without and within the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Grey HAMILTON
By Liz ETHERINGTON,
Monday,
May 30, 2005, Page A14
Journalist, corporate executive. Born December 20, 1929, in Toronto.
Died February 18, of pulmonary fibrosis, in Aylmer, Quebec, aged
Dad was born in 1929, the year the stock market crashed. An only
child to Jane and Grey
HAMILTON, he attended Rosedale Public
School. A voracious reader and talented athlete, Dad went on
to University of Toronto Schools; he graduated at 16. Although
he continued his studies at Trinity College, University of Toronto,
he hungered after a greater challenge -- to work.
Heading west, he settled in Vancouver where he began the first
of many jobs in the newspaper world. Working for the Vancouver
Sun, he honed his journalistic skills over the next few years.
It wasn't long before The Ottawa Journal came knocking on his
door, asking him to come to the nation's capital to cover the
political scene. Later, The Globe and Mail enticed him back to
Toronto.
In the weeks leading up to his death, he recounted two stories
from this time that were quite remarkable. Being asked to cover
a rather dry keynote speech on the topic of Shakespeare, Dad
decided to write his review in iambic pentameter, true to the
spirit of the bard. Although the editor initially refused to
print the article, he eventually did so; the response was overwhelmingly
positive.
Dad also remembered another time when he was covering the police
beat. It was the time of the infamous Boyd Gang, Toronto's most
notorious bank robbers. Everyone in the city was on high alert
as they had just broken out of the Don Jail. They were eventually
discovered hiding out in an old barn somewhere north of the city.
As it turned out, Dad was the first journalist on the scene for
the arrest.
Dad's reporter days in Toronto were cut short when he was asked
to be the Special Assistant to Donald
FLEMING/FLEMMING, then Minister
of Finance. So began a career in the capital that would see him
working alongside not only the leaders of the nation but also
many world leaders.
He was a founding member and honorary lifetime member of the
National Press Club. One-time reporter and former Privacy Commissioner
Bruce PHILLIPS recalled collaborating with Grey
HAMILTON to revive
the struggling Ottawa Press Club.
PHILLIPS had been elected club
president on a pledge to move the club from its dismal situation
at the top of a steep staircase in downtown Ottawa. Grey
HAMILTON
had the task of locating appropriate new quarters and supervising
construction... and he found fabulous space in two storeys above
a restaurant on Elgin Street. Voila! -- The National Press Club
came into being with food and drink and a wonderful view of Confederation
Square.
Dad was an original. When I was 16, he came back from Yukon having
been up there on business. He had met Yukon Mike, a real character
who was well beyond 100 years old. Dad thought it was a place
where young people could learn a lot and he encouraged me to
go. I went for three months and had the time of my life.
Dad's personal life was lived just as intensely as his professional
life. He married twice in his lifetime. Both his wives, Joan
and Jose, fell in love with the handsome and dashing figure that
he cut. He was a supportive and loving friend to his two children
Grey and Elizabeth, son-in-law Nigel, stepdaughter, Andrea, and
grandchildren Diana, Peter, Claire and Michael.
Grey was an avid historian with a tremendous knowledge and interest
in world affairs making him the consummate conversationalist.
There wasn't a subject on which Grey didn't have an opinion and
that he wasn't prepared to debate. He was also a person who loved
beauty in all its forms, especially music. He loved to laugh
and he loved to dance. Grey's intellectual strength and passionate
nature will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Liz ETHERINGTON is Grey's daughter.

CURTIS,
George
F., O.C., O.B.C., Q.C.
Suddenly on Sunday, October 23, 2005, at his much-loved home
in Vancouver, where he lived for almost 60 years. He was predeceased
by his wife, Doris
MARGESON, and his son Robert. Survived by
his sons, John and Peter, his daughter, Joanne
DUCHASTEL, and
Robert's widow, Cushla, grandchildren, Catherine, Devon, and
Matthew CURTIS, Jean-Pierre and Nicole
DUCHASTEL and great-grandchildren,

CURTIS,
George
BONNAUD, Judy
ANGELSTAD,
Hudson GILMER and Andrew
HANNAN.
Special thanks go to Deborah
HAMILTON who for so long has been a reliable and constant presence
in his life. Also thanks to the "Merry Wives of Allison Road"
who brought much fun and caring to his final years.
Born in Stogumber, Somerset, on September 4, 1906, he was raised
as a "prairie boy" in Saskatchewan and, after having studied
law at the University of Saskatchewan, went to Oxford University
as a Rhodes Scholar. Returning to Canada, he practised law in
Regina, before becoming a professor of law at Dalhousie University
from 1934-1945. Responding to the wish of the Bar of British
Columbia that a law school be established in the province, the
University of British Columbia appointed him the founding dean
of the new law school.
Remaining active at the law school right up to his death, he
has influenced the lives and careers of some of Canada's top
judges, many of its distinguished teachers and thousands of its
practising lawyers. At the international level, he was a delegate
to four Commonwealth Education Conferences resulting in the creation
of the Commonwealth Scholarships, served as a special advisor
to the Government of Canada at the United Nations Convention
on the Law of the Sea and represented the country at two United
Nations Law of the Sea conferences.
Some of his other accomplishments, of which he was particularly
proud, were having initiated the first program of public health
insurance as a student at the University of Saskatchewan, having
drafted the Farmers' Creditors Arrangement Act which saved the
family farms of Dirty Thirties from rogue creditors, having been
a part of the first post-war committee to revise Canadian competition
policy, having encouraged and actively overseen the graduation
of the first aboriginal Canadian from a law school in Canada,
having been a member of the first federal electoral boundaries
commission, having been the labour arbitrator who kept the Empress
Hotel open in 1958, having been the one in 1953 to suggest naming
the Queen Elizabeth Islands in order to reinforce Canada's Arctic
claims, having been the one in 1963 to name Simon Fraser University,
having helped to establish and draft the constitution of the
Association of Universities and Colleagues of Canada (A.U.C.C.)
and the Council of Canadian Law Deans. On a personal level, he
spoke passionately of his love for the contemplative art of fly
fishing.
He received many awards over his lifetime, from the Governor-General's
Bronze Medal at the age of 18, to honorary degrees from several
Canadian universities, to being the first recipient of the Law
Society of British Columbia Award in 1986, to being named to
the Order of British Columbia in 1995, and to the Order of Canada
in 2004.
A funeral service will be held at St. Anselm's Anglican Church,
5210 University Boulevard, Vancouver, at 2: 00 p.m. on Wednesday,
November 2, 2005. For those who wish, in lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to either the Doris Curtis Memorial Scholarship or
the George F. Curtis Student Endowment Fund, University of British
Columbia Faculty of Law, 1822 East Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia

66 years of Gwen (née

and specialized in air transport law, travelling regularly across
the country and often around the world. He served on a number
of corporate boards, particularly Canadian Pacific Airlines.
Even after John retired from the law firm, he continued as special
counsel to Canadian Pacific Air and it successor Canadian Airlines.
He didn't really retire until after serving as a Commissioner
on the Royal Commission on National Passenger Transportation
from 1989 to 1992. He was a Queen's Counsel and a Juris Doctor
from the University of Toronto. He participated in fund drives
over many years for various charities and served on public institutions,
including two hospitals in Toronto. He was especially proud of
his Order of Canada. John loved to build things, designing office
buildings and renovating houses (which Gwen decorated) and cottages
in Muskoka. He loved to meet people and made great new Friends
right up to the end of his life. John had been ill for a few
months, but was still interested in hearing about family and
Friends (both old and new) and current events. The family wishes
to thank his doctors and the caring staff at Briton House Retirement
Centre, 720 Mount Pleasant Rd. At his request, there will be

Elaine (née
HAMILTON) R.N.
On Saturday, May 7, 2005 at Riverview Manor, in her 79th year.
Ruth's passing is bittersweet for all those who have known and
loved her. While she will be so sadly missed, her journey into
the darkness of Alzheimer's has ended and for her there is now
only peace and light. An obstetrics nurse for over 35 years,
Ruth was to her co-workers, the "best of the best." In 1978 Ruth
moved to Langley, British Columbia where she enjoyed 20 years
of good health, good Friends and happy times with her father
and children. Those years were her happiest, as Ruth's free spirit
found great joy in the smallest of life's simple pleasures. In
1996 Ruth returned to Peterborough to place herself closer to
family as her health began to fail. Ruth is survived by 5 children
who will celebrate her life with every memory of her as we take
pride in knowing that Ruth Drake is our mother. As per Mom's
request, cremation has been held with no service. David, Stephen,
Elaine, Rosemary and Suzanne lovingly bid a farewell to "Legs
Hamilton."

Sunny afternoon erupts in horror
Man mowing lawn slain by motorist
By Jered STUFFCO, Staff Reporter. With files from Tyler
HAMILTON
A Scarborough man out mowing his lawn on a sunny Saturday afternoon
was run over, then stabbed to death as stunned neighbours looked
on.
The violent spree continued when the frenzied driver abandoned
his first victim, ran over to the sidewalk and attacked an elderly
woman who just happened to be passing by.
Police said he slashed the woman, causing superficial injuries,
before running into a nearby house where he tried to take his
own life.
"There was blood all over the driveway," said one neighbour who
didn't want to be identified. "It was a mess."
The incident began at around 3 p.m. as Rod
ALLPRESS, 46, was
making the best of yesterday's warm, sunny weather by cutting
the grass on his front lawn on Dunstall Cres. in the Lawrence
Ave. E.-Beechgrove Dr. area.
witnesses: said a green Ford Taurus drove around the block, then
returned and, driving and speeding erratically, jumped the curb
and smashed into
ALLPRESS.
The car, dragging the lawnmower, continued
on and then came to a stop against a tree.
"I heard a car horn beep, and it didn't stop," said one neighbour.
When she looked out to see what the commotion was all about,
she said, "I saw a car smashed up against a big tree," the lawnmower
trapped underneath it.
Neighbours on the Scarborough residential street just south of
Lawrence said
ALLPRESS got into an argument with the driver of
the Taurus.
That's when the driver pulled out a knife with a 25-cm blade
and stabbed
ALLPRESS several times.
At about the same time
ALLPRESS's father Al emerged from the
family's home at 57 Dunstall and began yelling at the man stabbing
his son, who then turned away and went after a woman passing
by on the sidewalk, witnesses: said.
The man, according to one witness -- none wanted their names
used -- appeared to be "out of it," apparently on drugs.
Police and Toronto Ambulance crews sped
ALLPRESS to Sunnybrook
hospital, where doctors struggled to treat him for trauma and
multiple stab wounds, to no avail.
He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The female victim was also taken to Sunnybrook, treated, and
released.
witnesses: said
ALLPRESS knew his assailant, who lived on the
same street.
"The fellow who did it lives on our street, so they know each
other," one witness said. But neighbours didn't know if there'd
been a history of animosity between the two men.
Police, who released no names yesterday, had much of Dunstall
cordoned off with crime scene tape late yesterday as they investigated
Toronto's 61st homicide of the year.
Investigators are trying to determine whether the incident began
with an out-of-control car, or whether the man deliberately targeted
his neighbour.
A suspect, who is also being treated for his injuries, is in
custody.

WHITNEY,
Gordon
Thomas
(February 13, 1916-December 10, 2005)
It is with great sadness, but equal pride for a life well lived,
that his children announce his passing following a brief period
of ill health. Gordon began his journey on a blustery February
day in the village of Whitneyville, New Brunswick. He was the
ninth child of Hiram and Ethel
WHITNEY.
From his humble farming
roots, he lived a richly varied and travelled life. Gordon took
pride in many things and these were all recently documented in
his published and widely read memoirs. He enjoyed a long, successful
and much storied career with The Ford Motor Company, including
a well-remembered lunch with Henry Ford. His tenure included
a two-year assignment in India during World War 2, managing a
parts depot for Ford war vehicles. He was an active member of
the Baptist Church his entire life, lending his many business
skills to a variety of committees. He was a great father, a loving
and loyal husband to his dear Roberta (Bertie, who passed away
in 1994), and a wonderful friend to countless dozens. His kind
and gentle spirit will be greatly missed by his children and
grandchildren: Kathryn and Ron
DUKE and their children Scott
and Laura; Janet and her son Erick; Stephen and Christine and
their children Lauren and Evan. Gordon will also be very much
missed by his 'little' sister Ruth
HAMILTON, favourite nephews
Gary and Ron
WHITNEY and many others. Our Dad will be most fondly
remembered for his remarkable generosity and thoughtfulness.
The baskets of Red Haven peaches that he delivered each August
to so many will be greatly missed. Many are already enjoying
their Christmas fruitcakes. Gordon always said he wanted to go
out with his boots on and he surely did so, having enjoyed a
seven day Alaskan cruise with his entire family in July and a
few weeks later attending and speaking eloquently at his brother
Edward's memorial service in Grand Marais, Minnesota. His 2005
spotlessly clean Lincoln Town Car has been idle only a few weeks.
We invite all who knew Gordon to celebrate his life and loves:
Please visit with his family at Skinner and Middlebrook, 128 Lakeshore
Road East, Mississauga (west of Hurontario), on Tuesday, December
13 from 2-4 p.m. or 7-9 p.m. A Service of Remembrance will be
held on Wednesday, December 14 at 2 p.m., Lorne Park Baptist
Church, 1500 Indian Road, Mississauga. For those who may wish
to make a donation in Gordon's memory, donations gratefully appreciated
to the Salvation Army or Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
