MOWAT,
James
Rodman
The children of James Rodman ('Rod')
MOWAT would like to advise
longtime Friends of his death, on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 in
Santiago, Chile. Dad died peacefully, with his devoted wife of
25 years, Graciela Poblete
DE_LA_CERDA ('Piti') by his side.
He leaves his children - Anne, (Susan
RISK,) of Regina, Saskatchewan
Becky, of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; David, (Lina),
of Ottawa, Ontario; Vicki, (Claude
LEGER,) of North Bay, Ontario
and Kati, of Ottawa, Ontario. He is also survived by his many
grandchildren: Norah, Natalie, and James
PENDERGAST in Charlottetown
Austin, Bridget, and Cameron
MOWAT in Ottawa; Alexandre and Eric
LEGER in North Bay. He also leaves his sister, Nancy
McLATCHIE
(Bob,) of Skead, Ontario; niece, Barbara
SNOWDEN
(Ken) also of
Skead,
Ontario; nephews, Stuart
McLATCHIE (Jo-Anne) of Sidney,
British Columbia; and John
McLATCHIE
(Barbara
BAILEY,) of Toronto.
Dad was predeceased by his first wife, Marjorie Esther
EVANS,
of Fredericton, New Brunswick; and their daughter, Norah Patricia
('Patti'). He is also survived by his second wife, Mary Kathryn
(WALSH,) of Ottawa, with whom he lived for many years. Dad was
a strong and compelling man, whose sense of personal destiny
was matched by a dry sense of humour and determination to live
on his own terms. A mining consultant for many years, he joined
the United Nations Development Program in 1968 to assess and
develop base metal mining operations, primarily in Chile and
Colombia. Eventually, he decided to retire to Chile, where he
had fallen in love with Piti, and the spectacular beauty of the
country itself. Until recent years, when his health began to
fail, he and Piti travelled home to Canada often, visiting Friends
and family. Born January 13, 1925 in Campbellton, New Brunswick,
to Isabel Annie ('Nan'
WETMORE) and Earl Porter
MOWAT, he earned
a B.Sc. in Geology from the University of New Brunswick, and
later became a Professional Engineer in the province of Ontario.
Dad felt he was a self-made man of the old school, driven to
achieve in his career. In this, he succeeded. In many ways, Dad
was a paradox: he called himself a 'citizen of the world' - anticipating
the global village long before the internet. But he was pulled
back to his roots in the Maritimes often to enjoy lobster feasts
by the sea with his Canadian family and Friends. An intense and
challenging man, he could be charismatic, charming, witty, and
stimulating. He loved to engage others in deep conversations
about politics, business, and history in two languages. Although
he spent most of his life far from his children in Canada, he
nonetheless exerted a powerful influence on us. A memorial celebration
of the life of Rod
MOWAT will take place in his beloved New Brunswick,
however, the date has not yet been set. Friends and family may
contact Becky by Email at mowat@eastlink.ca, or by telephone
at (902) 569-9120, if you are interested in receiving an invitation
to this gathering. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate
donations made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada,
2360 - 2nd Avenue, Regina, Saskatchewan S4R 1A6, (306) 569-8433,
in memory of James Rodman
MOWAT.

Fire victim laid to rest
Blaze at Silver Swan Villa Motel claimed life of 57-year-old
man
By Amy LAZAR,
Wednesday,
November 23, 2005
A memorial service was held yesterday for a man who died after
fire engulfed his room at the Silver Swan Villa Motel.
Charles SNOXELL, 57, was rescued by Orillia firefighters early
Friday morning as fire and smoke billowed out from Unit 8, where
he lived.
The cause of the fire is still undetermined, but deputy fire
Chief Ralph
DOMINELLI said one possible cause is the “improper
discarding of smoking material.&rdquo
DOMINELLI's crew arrived on the scene at 114 Davey Dr. around
5 a.m. and encountered heavy flames coming from the unit, he
said.
“The crew had to fast-attack the fire with water, and then rescue
a victim still stuck in the unit,” said
DOMINELLI.
Two firefighters went in and found
SNOXELL breathing and crouched
in a corner.
He was taken to Soldiers' Memorial Hospital and transferred to
Toronto's Sunnybrook hospital with first-degree burns to 50 per
cent of his body and severe smoke inhalation.
He died in the burn centre Saturday evening.
“Our guys were shocked to find him breathing after what he'd
been through,” said
DOMINELLI.
During the rescue, debris from the ceiling landed on one firefighter's
shoulder. He had to ask the captain to knock it off because it
was burning through his gear.
The incident shook residents at the motel. The resident in Unit
9, where there is water damage, has moved out.
DOMINELLI said two neighbouring residents had helped pull a burning
mattress from the unit before the fire crew got there.
The resident in Unit 7 said he tried to put out some flames with
a fire extinguisher.
“I went in the door about four feet, but it was smoky and pitch
black and I couldn't see
(SNOXELL,”) said Gord, who didn't want
his last name used.
The estimated damage is between $35,000 and $50,000.
The fire department is still awaiting a forensic report that
will reveal why the smoke alarm did not operate.
Meanwhile, more than 75 family and Friends attended the memorial
service for
SNOXELL at Simcoe Funeral Home.
Photos were displayed of the man whose memoriam cards said, “Despite
(his) limitations, he was always willing and anxious to help
others in need.&rdquo
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lighthouse Christian
Ministries.
