FARMER,
Kenneth
Pentin
(July 26th 1912 to January 12th 2005)
Born in Westmount Québec,
son of the late Nora
(PENTIN) and John
FARMER.
Brother of Madeleine and Florence and the late Eric and
Bud. Ken was the much loved husband of the late Mildred Lorayne
STRACHAN (1994) for 49 years, and adored and proud father and
father in law of Howard (Alice), Ian (Sue), Cindy, and Pam (Tom
LEWIS.) He will be greatly missed by his eight grandchildren
Dan, Sarah, Colin, Laurence, Iain, Geoffrey, David, and Michael.
He was also uncle to many nieces and nephews. Soon after his
birth, Ken's family moved to Ste. Anne-de-Bellevue. Here, Ken
could be seen spending every spare moment playing tennis in the
summer and hockey in the winter on the local rink or the frozen
ice of Lac St. Louis. Ken studied at McGill University (Bachelor
of Commerce 1934), and received his C.A. in 1937, after which
he joined the firm of McDonald Currie until retirement in 1974.
It was at McGill that Ken became a hockey legend, where, with
the McGill Redmen he skillfully won many championships. (McGill
Sports Hall of Fame 1999). In 1936 while playing for the Victorias,
he was asked to join the Canadian Olympic Hockey team which won
the Silver medal in Garmich, Germany. When the war broke out
in 1939, "the Major" proudly served with the Royal Montreal Regiment
and later with the Manitoba Dragoons until May of 1945. His children
and grandchildren will always remember "Grandpa's" wartime stories.
From 1953 to 1961 Ken was President of the Canadian Olympic Association
and later President of the Commonwealth Games. He and Lorayne
were fortunate enough to travel the world through his association
with these games. In 1980, Ken was made a member of the Order
of Canada celebrating his life long contribution to amateur sport.
Over the years, Dad also worked diligently for such charities
as The Quebec Society for Disabled Children and the Commissionaires.
Honor, truth, and respect, were the values Dad always lived by
and, by example, passed on to his children and grandchildren.
Ken shared many happy times with his Friends from afar, Montreal
West, Lake McDonald, The Laurentian Lodge Club and The University
Club of Montreal. Unpretentious to the end, we are certainly
going to miss you Dad/Grandpa. Farewell "LeClou", "Mighty Midget".
We love you. Funeral service will be held Monday, January 17th
at 2 p.m., St Philip's Anglican Church, 25 Brock Avenue North,
Montreal West, Québec. In Lieu of flowers, if desired, donations
may be made to The Quebec Society for Disabled Children or another

DAVIDSON,
Mary▼
Janet▼
(ARMSTRONG)
Mary Janet
ARMSTRONG was born November 23, 1911 on a farm on
Kennedy Road, near Unionville, Ontario. She died on March 16,
2005 at Memorial Hospital in Mission, British Columbia. She was
the daughter of the late Leslie
ARMSTRONG and Charlotte
LENNOX
dear sister of Margaret
PRITCHARD and the late Robert
ARMSTRONG
beloved wife of the late Bruce
DAVIDSON; loving mother of Jean
and her husband, Allen
AICKEN; a much-loved 'Auntie Mary' to
a host of nieces and nephews. She will be greatly missed by many
Friends and relatives of all ages. She was a mentor, church and
charity volunteer, and quiet benefactor of good causes in her
local community and abroad.
The deaths of her parents at a young age gave her a sensitivity
to vulnerable children. Teaching at Birch Cliff Heights and Frankland
Schools, she nurtured and nourished many struggling pupils in
depression-era and wartime Toronto. Marriage brought a return
to farm life, on the Davidson homestead in Agincourt then on
the farm in Stouffville. She was active in the Presbyterian Churches
in Agincourt and Stouffville, in Women's Institute, in 4-H, and
many other causes.
After never living further than 15 miles from her birthplace,
she undertook the big adventure, at age 92, of moving to Maple
Ridge, British Columbia to live with Jean and Allen. She embraced
this courageously, and enjoyed looking at the mountains, the
Fraser River, the farm animals in the fields, and the cat on
the porch.
Her final illness came suddenly and her departure from this world
was gentle.
A memorial service was held on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 at St.
John the Evangelist Anglican Church, Whonnock, British Columbia,
the Rev David Findley- Price officiating.
Private interment at Knox Cemetery, Agincourt, the Reverend Kathryn

A memorial service will be held at Unionville Presbyterian Church,

Retired.
Died suddenly but peacefully on April 28, 2005 at Wyndham Manor,
Oakville, in his 88th year. Much loved father of Lesley (Rod
MORRISON) and Alison (Doug
CHARLTON.)
Born in Port Arthur, Archie
was proud of his Scottish heritage and that his people came from
the Hebridian island of Colonsay. Archie's war years defined
him. He landed at Juno Beach with his regiment in August 1944,
was wounded in action, and spent the remainder of the war in
military hospitals in England and Canada, returning to Thunder
Bay in 1946. Archie joined the family moving business, Angus
Bell Cartage, in 1947, retiring in 1968. He then pursued successful
real estate and sales careers. He was a devoted volunteer with
countless organizations, including the Liberal Party of Canada,
the Port Arthur General Hospital and the Lake Superior Regiment
Old
Boys
Association. Archie married Barbara
GILLESPIE in 1949.
Their marriage was sustained by love and humour, which helped
them through the loss of their daughter Nancy at 20 in 1974.
Barbara died unexpectedly in 1986. In addition to his daughters,
Archie is survived by brother Bruce (Anita), sister Marion (Wally),
sister in law, Mona and many nieces and nephews. His sisters
Jessie SPOONER
(Art) and Dodie
STRACHAN (Jack) and brother Ken
predeceased him. Archie was fully engaged in life until the day
he died. He will be remembered for his wry wit and engaging conversation.
There will never be another like him. Lesley and Alison would
like to thank the staff of Wyndham Manor for their exceptional
and compassionate care of their father. In lieu of flowers, donations

DAVIDSON,
Mary▲
Janet▲ (née
ARMSTRONG)
Was born November 23, 1911 on a farm on Kennedy Road, near Unionville,
Ontario. She died on March 16, 2005 at Memorial Hospital in Mission,
British
Columbia.
She was the daughter of the late Leslie
ARMSTRONG
and Charlotte
LENNOX; dear sister of Margaret
PRITCHARD and the
late Robert
ARMSTRONG; beloved wife of the late Bruce
DAVIDSON
loving mother of Jean and her husband Allen
AICKEN; a much-loved
'Auntie Mary' to a host of nieces and nephews. She will be greatly
missed by many Friends and relatives of all ages. She was a mentor,
church and charity volunteer, and quiet benefactor of good causes
in her local community and abroad. The deaths of her parents
at a young age gave her a sensitivity to vulnerable children.
Teaching at Birch Cliff Heights and Frankland Schools, she nurtured
and nourished many struggling pupils in depression-era and wartime
Toronto. Marriage brought a return to farm life, on the Davidson
homestead in Agincourt, then on the farm in Stouffville. She
was active in the Presbyterian Churches in Agincourt and Stouffvllle,
in Women's Institute, in 4-H, and many other causes. After never
living further than 15 miles from her birthplace, she undertook
the big adventure, at age 92, of moving to Maple Ridge, British
Columbia to live with Jean and Allen. She embraced this courageously,
and enjoyed looking at the mountains, the Fraser River, the farm
animals in the fields, and the cat on the porch. Her final illness
came suddenly and her departure from this world was gentle. A
memorial service was held on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 at St.
John the Evangelist Anglican Church, Whonnock, British Columbia,
the Reverend David Findley-Price officiating. Private interment at
Knox
Cemetery,
Agincourt. the Reverend Kathryn
STRACHAN officiating.
A memorial service will be held at Unionville Presbyterian Church,
600 Village Parkway, Unionville, on Saturday, April 30, 2005
at 1: 30 p.m., the Reverend Gordon
TIMBERS officiating. The family
will receive Friends from 12 noon at the church. No flowers please
memorial donations may be made to Presbyterian World Service
and Development, 50 Wynford Dr., Toronto, Ontario M3C 1J7.
