LARSON, Ted▼ (né Tadeusz ZAGOZDZON)
former President and Chief Executive Officer Borden Canada After a brief battle with cancer, Ted LARSON died peacefully, with his family at his side, on Tuesday, May 10, 2005, bringing to an end a rich and fulfilling life. His accomplishments were many, both in family and business. He leaves behind a loving family and many close, long-time Friends. Born Tadeusz ZAGOZDZON in Druskieniki, (Lithuania) in 1921 to parents Adela and Henryk, Ted left his family in 1939, narrowly escaping the invading forces. He made his way across Europe and eventually to England. Once there, he joined the 1st Polish Armored Division, which shortly after the Normandy invasion was dispatched to France to operate as a part of the 1st Canadian Army. In the ensuing battles with the retreating German forces, Ted was injured, and spent months recovering in hospital in Scotland. He returned to active service to discover that many of his close Friends had not survived the campaign. During his service, Ted distinguished himself both in the field of battle and in training exercises and was highly decorated. With the end of the war, Ted resigned from the military with the rank of Lieutenant, (later raised to Major). Ted graduated from Stockholm Technical Institute in Sweden with a B.S.c in Applied Chemistry. It was in Sweden that he met his first wife, Elsie LARSON. They▼ married and several years later, Ted, Elsie and their 2 year-old daughter, Christina, emigrated to Canada. Ted▼ (who had changed his last name to LARSON) was able to find work, and within a few years joined Borden Chemical Canada, a division of Borden, Inc. as a chemist, then technical director, vice president and finally President and Chief Executive Officer of Borden Canada. His contribution to the chemical industry earned him a lifetime fellowship designation with the Chemical Institute of Canada. He was also a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Military Institute, a member of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club and numerous other associations. Ted retired in 1987 after 32 years with the company. During his tenure as Chief Executive Officer, Borden achieved record growth and profits. In 1962, Elsie died of cancer, leaving Ted to raise 13 year-old Christina and 3 year-old Anna on his own. Several years later he met Mary SPILLER. Mary▼ and Ted married, and with the marriage, the family grew to five with the addition of Mary's son John. Ted and Mary were soon blessed with a second son, Ted LARSON, Junior.▼ A voracious reader who could converse fluently in a half-dozen languages, Ted was renowned for his intelligence, sharp wit and encyclopedic knowledge of history, world events, and management philosophies and techniques. He'll be greatly missed by his wife, Mary; his children, Christina, Anna, John and Ted; their spouses, Phil, Joe, Mary Beth and Julie; his grandchildren, Serge, Carl, Ben, Emma, Katrina, Ella, Laura and Matty; his Aunt Maria, sisters Alicia, Zosia and Barbara and many other relatives in Poland. He will also be missed by the many Friends he made over the years in the chemical industry, in business, socially, and in the Lake Kashwakamak cottage community. A memorial service will be held for Ted at Saint Margaret's-inthe-Pines Anglican Church, 4130 Lawrence Ave. East, Scarborough, On., on Friday, May 13 at 11: 00 a.m. Visitation at the church from 9: 30 a.m. Friends are invited back to the family home following the service to celebrate Ted's life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation in recognition of Dr. SWAN.

Ted LARSON
By Anna LARSON, Wednesday, June▲▼ 1, 2005, Page A20
Soldier, family man, card player. Born June 3, 1921, in Druskieniki, Poland (now Lithuania). Died May 10 in Scarborough, Ontario, of cancer, aged 83.
Education was important to my Dad. Born Tadeusz Zagazdzon, he left the family home at 12, moving to a larger town to attend school where he supported himself by tutoring younger students.
After Poland was invaded in 1939, Dad's studies were cut short. He and two long-time school Friends, Mirek and Jan, journeyed south, hoping to cross the border and eventually make their way to France to join the Polish army. They parted ways at the border, but were reunited after the war.
Shortly after the Normandy invasion, Dad requested and received a transfer to the 1st Polish Armoured Division, which operated as a part of the 1st Canadian Army. When the war ended, unable to return to a Poland ruled by the Soviet-imposed government, Dad remained in Britain, where, as an officer, he was eligible for free education. Stung when the Allies abandoned Poland to the U.S.S.R., he turned down the offer and moved to Sweden. There he combined work with further study in Stockholm. Dad graduated in applied chemistry and, in 1951, with his Swedish wife Elsie and daughter, Christina, emigrated from to Canada.
When the job promised him failed to materialize, Dad work at a number of plants in Southern Ontario, all the while striving to become a successful Canadian. He changed his name and after several years found a position as chemist with what would end up as his lifetime employer, Borden Chemical Canada. A private man, when offered a promotion in the Philippines, he turned it down without giving a reason. The reason was that my mother was dying of cancer.
After her death, while raising his two daughters, Dad rose steadily at work, eventually becoming president and Chief Executive Officer of Borden Canada. Along the way, he met his future soul mate, Mary DEMPSTER and her son John. They married in 1964 and together had a second son, Ted Junior.
In 1966, my parents purchased land on Lake Kashwakamak (as did Mirek) and began to build what would become a defining and unifying element of the blended LARSON family: the family cottage. Dad was a cerebral guy and an old-school father. We didn't see much of him during the week, but we did spend weekends together at the cottage where he shared his beliefs, loves, values and his many books, with family and Friends.
We'll never know mushrooms or bridge like he did, but we did learn how to fish, work hard, play hard (and, let's be honest, drink hard). After a day clearing and building retaining walls, we'd gather around a fire. He couldn't carry a tune, but my Dad loved music (fortunately Mary is an excellent singer). Repertoire was eclectic: from Vera Lynn, Polish and Russian Army songs, to tangos and Land of the Silver Birch.
After his retirement in 1988, my parents travelled extensively and entertained, with style and imagination, a wide circle of Friends.
On April 17, Dad collected a last batch of sap from maple trees at the cottage and returned to Toronto feeling short of breath and with little appetite. Despite this, with Mary he continued to plan their annual Kentucky Derby party and he was anxious to return to the lake to plant his vegetable garden. A week later, he lay in hospital, unable to speak, with one desire only, to go home. Sadly, first diagnosed with pneumonia, then septic shock, stroke, and cancer, he was not able to. On May 10, with his family at his side, he died. We all miss him very much and have planted his garden.
Anna LARSON is Ted's daughter.
