Joe GRIGAS: a 'natural soldier'
'International Joe' had a love of travel, a love of action and
the respect of his Friends.
By Jael WONG, and Peter
GEIGEN-
MILLER, Free Press Reporter
Before he died, Joseph (International Joe)
GRIGAS had his favourite
dish -- sardines. The decorated war veteran developed a liking
for the fish more than 60 years ago after he was taken prisoner
during the Spanish Civil War.
He and his fellow prisoners -- 150 Americans in all -- were given
nothing to eat for 13 months but sardines and beans.
"Joe was a survivor, so Joe learned to like sardines and beans
and he ate them with relish. For the rest of his life, sardines
and beans were his favourite dishes," said retired Capt. Robert
WALSH.
He met GRIGAS two years ago through the Royal Canadian Regiment
Association.
GRIGAS -- dubbed International Joe because he had been to many
countries -- died March 8 at Parkwood Hospital in London at age
An American, he fought in the Second World War as part of the
London-based Royal Canadian Regiment.
He was awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal -- one level below
the Victoria Cross -- for leading a group of soldiers in capturing
two enemy machine-gun nests in Sicily in 1943.
But no one at the Royal Canadian Regiment knew what happened
to GRIGAS for 58 years after the war and it was thought he was
dead. In fact, there's a gold brick at the Royal Canadian Regiment
Museum in London in his memory, said Capt. Duncan
McMILLAN.
So McMILLAN was intrigued when he learned
GRIGAS was in a veterans'
shelter in the United States and wanted to come back to Canada.
McMILLAN and two veterans went to see
GRIGAS on Veterans' Day
in 2000 and confirmed his identity. The Royal Canadian Regiment
arranged to have
GRIGAS moved to Parkwood Hospital in June 2003,
where he lived for the past two years.
A native of Worcester, Massachusetts., with Lithuanian roots,
GRIGAS was "a natural soldier at heart," said
WALSH, going wherever
the action was.
"He liked to travel a lot and he liked adventure and when he
didn't have that, he didn't have much of a life."
Tara O'CONNOR, who befriended
GRIGAS at the Worcester veterans
shelter in 1994, said he lived a vagabond existence, spending
most of the year "in the weeds," a term explained as "anywhere
you lay your head at night."
Once age finally caught up with
GRIGAS,
O'CONNOR helped him find
an apartment in a complex for the elderly.
It was not an easy adjustment.
"He wouldn't sleep in his new bed, telling me it was too civilized,"
said O'CONNOR. "And on more than one occasion, I found him cooking
a can of beans directly on the electric stove top."
After his release from the Spanish prison camp in 1939, he returned
to the U.S., but didn't stay long. In 1940, he went to Montreal
to enlist in the Canadian Army because the U.S. was not yet involved
in the Second World War. He joined Canadian troops in England.
He served until he was injured in 1944 and returned to the U.S.
For the next 50 years, he worked at odd jobs.
GRIGAS never married and didn't make Friends easily.
"But once he accepted you as a friend, he was a very good friend,"
said WALSH.
McMILLAN agrees, noting he has heard praises for
GRIGAS's character
from veterans of the Spanish Civil War.
"When he was held in captivity by the Nationalists, by the Fascists,
he was regarded as someone who was trustworthy," said
McMILLAN.
"You didn't have to watch your back with him."

and one of her daughters was repeatedly stabbed in their townhouse
on Sheppard Avenue West. A man was then shot dead at the scene
by police minutes later.
Police said he was asked to drop his weapon and refused.
The nurse, Pandora

described as both her "adoptive brother" and "adoptive son."
Neighbours said Ms.

83-year-old hit-and-run victim dies
Dad of ex-Tory minister killed on crosswalk
'Sad time' for family of David
TSUBOUCHI
By Paul CHOI,
Staff
Reporter
David TSUBOUCHI says he's not angered with the way his 83-year-old
father died.
The victim of a hit-and-run Friday morning, Thomas
TSUBOUCHI
suffered massive internal injuries to the head and torso after
a car hit him on a marked crosswalk near Huntingwood Dr. and
Brimley Rd.
TSUBOUCHI succumbed to his injuries in the presence
of grieving relatives at Sunnybrook hospital about 4 p.m. yesterday.
David TSUBOUCHI,
Ontario's former solicitor-general and a former
provincial Conservative cabinet minister, says his family is
not bitter, just saddened by the loss.
"We're not people who get angry," he said. "We don't go out and
say, 'We need to have vengeance.' But it's a pretty sad time
for all of us right now."
There had been a glimmer of hope Saturday for the family when
doctors said the elder
TSUBOUCHI's condition appeared to stabilize
after surgery, even though he remained in a coma.
But later, doctors said
TSUBOUCHI's condition worsened and his
internal systems appeared to be shutting down.
"It's not for (lack) of trying. These are the best doctors for
trauma in this country. And I know for a fact they've done everything
they could for my father," David
TSUBOUCHI said. "But no matter
how much you do expect it, you don't expect it."
Yesterday, police continued to urge the driver of the vehicle
to turn himself in.
"Basically, what we've been saying all along to the driver is
to look for a lawyer and surrender (yourself)," said Sgt. Edmund
WONG of traffic services.
Investigators are looking at surveillance footage that shows
a car hitting a pedestrian. Police are looking for a light-coloured
vehicle that may have a damaged hood and windshield.
Meanwhile,
TSUBOUCHI said he is disturbed by the number of hit-and-runs
taking place on Toronto's streets. He said drivers should be
taking more responsibility for their actions.
On Thursday, an 87-year-old woman was struck and killed while
she crossed Wilson Ave. near Bathurst St. On Friday, an unidentified
pedestrian suffered serious injuries after being hit by a car
at Scarlett Rd. near Kingdom St. The driver fled the scene and
the pedestrian has since fallen into a coma.
"There's too much of this going on,"
TSUBOUCHI said. "The real
tragedy in this is that someone hits an elderly man and drags
him for 70 or 90 feet and leaves him to die on the street. That's
the crime."
Saddened as he was by his father's death,
TSUBOUCHI said he and
his family would try to move on and remember the legacy his dad
left behind.
A Japanese immigrant, the senior
TSUBOUCHI came to Canada and
worked two jobs to support his family, even in the face of immense
prejudice,
TSUBOUCHI said.

With great sadness the family announces the passing of Fred on
Sunday, October 30, 2005, in his 76th year. Beloved and devoted
husband and friend of 50 years to his wife Barbara. Loving and
cherished father and best buddy of son Gregory and daughter Andrea.
We will miss his love, friendly guidance and indomitable spirit
and treasure all the beautiful memories of our lives together.
He was selfless in support of his family. His motto in life "to
thine own self be true" governed his life decisions, always being
fair and giving the other person the benefit of the doubt. We
will always find ways to embrace his life in our every day. Fred
will be remembered by all who knew him as a consummate gentleman,
a man of integrity, a true and noble friend. A fishing, hunting
and car enthusiast, his happiest moments were when catching fish
accompanied by either his son or daughter, discussing the latest
trends in cars with Gregory and recounting his past duck, deer
and moose hunting trips with his dear departed friend Austin
McCUE.
Another▲ passion was planning and working in his garden
to make a place of beauty to enjoy with his family. Survived
