McLELLAN,
Angus
Ronald
Born April 18, 1924 in Glasgow, Scotland. Died March 1st, 2005
in Victoria, British Columbia after an eight year struggle with
the effects of a stroke. Only child of the late Helen Stewart
and Angus McLELLAN
Sr.
The family immigrated to Toronto when
Angus was a child. He grew up in East End Toronto. Most beloved
husband of Patricia. Also survived by Pat's brother Brian
DOWNES,
his wife Jenny and their children Sam and Lucy in England; cousin
Archie McGUGAN and Elizabeth in Victoria, cousins in Scotland
and Pat's extended family of Aunts and cousins in England, Toronto
and India.
To correct a stammer (that's another story!), Angus applied to
and was accepted by at the Lorne Greene Academy of Radio Arts
in Toronto. He was an early graduate. He became head Writer for
Greene's daily newscasts on
CKEY when it was the #1 station in
Toronto. After
CKEY,
Angus was one of the founders of the television
station in North Bay, Ontario
In the mid-'50's Angus moved to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Radio News in Toronto. He had found his niche in broadcasting!
He originated Sunday Morning Magazine and The World At Six (and
Eight) and Radio News' national coverage of many federal elections.
He also did a stint as Executive Producer of Specials for Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation television News, responsible at the
time for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Watergate coverage.
He was briefly Executive Producer of W5 for CTV. Radio remained
his real love and he returned to it for the rest of his working
life in Toronto until he and Pat moved to Victoria in 1982.
He was a very strong supporter of public broadcasting and of
equality and social justice for all. He considered his documentary
on the American singer Paul Robeson one of the highlights of
his career along with his two-hour documentary and analysis at
the end of the Viet Nam war.
No service and no flowers by Angus's very specific request. Donations
may be made to Doctors Without Borders, #402 - 720 Spadina Avenue,
Toronto, Ontario. M5S 2T9 or Mount Saint Mary Hospital, 861 Fairfield
Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8V 5A9.
A Memorial Tea will be held on Thursday, March 10th, 2005 at
2.00 pm at First Memorial Funeral Services, 4725 Falaise Drive,
Victoria, British Columbia V8Y 1B4.
