BIGELOW,
Wilfred▼
Gordon▼
After a life lived with caring, intellectual curiosity and a
profound sense of spirituality, Bill died peacefully in Toronto
on Easter Sunday 2005. Born in Brandon, Manitoba, Bill was the
son of Dr. Wilfred
BIGELOW, founder of the first medical clinic
in Canada, and Grace
GORDON, nurse and midwife. He was raised
in an environment that encouraged a love of family, nature, music
and education. Bill attended Brandon College in the early 1930's
and graduated from medicine at the University of Toronto in 1938.
Following this, he served overseas as a Captain in the Royal
Canadian Medical Army Corps, performing battle surgery on the
frontlines. Returning home from the war, he furthered his studies
at John Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland specializing in cardiac
surgery. His experiences in the war with amputations due to frostbite
led him to explore the principle of hypothermia. He felt strongly
that to make progress in cardiac surgery, surgeons needed to
open the heart and operate directly. Building on his wartime
experiences, he theorized that if you could cool the heart, you
could reduce oxygen requirements, interrupt circulation and open
the heart. In 1947, Bill returned to Toronto, and established
a hypothermia research unit at The Banting Institute. There,
he performed the world's first open heart surgery on a dog using
the principal of hypothermia, paving the way for its use on humans.
At his lab, Dr.
BIGELOW and his colleagues Dr. John
CALLAGHAN
and Dr. John
HOPPS also developed the cardiac pacemaker. Bill
was recognized internationally as the father of Canadian heart
surgery. He received the Gairdner Foundation Award in 1959, was
inducted into the Canadian Medical Association's Hall of Fame
in 1997 and into the Order of Canada in 1981. Bill published
numerous medical articles in scientific journals, educated aspiring
cardiac surgeons from around the world, and authored two books,
Cold Hearts and Mysterious Heparin. Along with his passion for
medicine, Bill will be remembered for his love of the outdoors
and his work on environmental causes. He served as a director
of the Audubon Society and the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
He spent many happy hours on the islands of Georgian Bay, and
at his farm in Collingwood with his beloved family, horses and
dogs. He was an avid bird watcher who went on frequent field
trips with his longtime friend Dr. Bruce
CHARLES. In his latter
years, he enjoyed many happy hours with his golf buddies at the
Toronto Hunt Club. First and foremost, Bill was a family man
and a devoted and loyal friend to many. He was predeceased by
his beloved wife of almost 60 years, Ruth
JENNINGS, who attracted
his attention as a caring and efficient operating nurse at Toronto
General Hospital. He was also predeceased by his infant brother
Jack, and his sisters Mary
GRANT
(Millard,▼) and Toody
McKINNON
(Keith.▼) He is survived by his brother Dr. Dan
BIGELOW and his
wife Dr.▼
Sonia▼
SACEDA. As a loving father and grandfather, Bill
led by example, demonstrating the importance of loyalty and the
power of positive thinking and perseverance. He will be deeply
missed by his daughter Pixie Bigelow
CURRIE
(Ian▼) of Toronto,
and sons, John (Ellie) of Honolulu, Hawaii, Dan (Blanche) of
Petersfield, Manitoba, and Bill of Toronto. He is remembered
with affection by his grandchildren Scott
CURRIE
(Sarah,▼)
Susanne▼
COUTTS (Rob), Mathew
BIGELOW, and Angela
BEATTON (Don) and his
nieces, nephews and their families. Bill adored children and
was delighted with the birth of his three great grandchildren,
Sophie and Chloe
COUTTS and Stella
CURRIE.
The▼ family recognizes
with gratitude his caregivers Alma
ABLONA,
Beth▼
LARA and Helen
ABLONA and the staff of Belmont House. The funeral and interment
will be private. A memorial service will be held at Rosedale
United Church on Saturday, April 23, 2005 at 2: 00 p.m. Donations
in his memory may be made to establish The Bigelow Lectureship,
Department of Surgery, University of Toronto, The Banting Institute,
