KIRKWOOD,
Brian
A.
After a courageous three-year battle with cancer, in his 63rd
year, Brian passed away peacefully at home on August 31, 2005,
with his loving wife and family by his side.
Beloved husband of Liz, proud father of Peter, Katie, Justin,
Kevin and his wife Jody, along with step children Jenn, Tim and
Christopher Wray
AUGER; brother of David, and grandfather to
Olivia, Garret and Gabrielle, he will also be sadly missed by
his aunts Nancy and Glo, and his cousins and Friends.
Brian had a full, adventurous and exciting life, leaving his
mark on the music and beverage alcohol industries, spending many
years as a professional musician and member of the bands 'Magic
Bubble' and 'Seadog', producing 36 recordings, including two
albums.
He learned his skills in sales and senior management while working
with the Campbell Soup Company in Alberta, and
as Sales Manager,
Canned Food Division, in Ontario; as Director of Sales for Brights
Wines (now Vincor), managing the sales force and retail store
operations; then as National Vice-President, Sales, with Diageo
Canada.
In 1998, he formed his own company, The Kirkwood Group, to sell
and market international wines, beers and spirits - the largest
of which are yellow tail Wines from Australia, and
DAB beer from
Germany - throughout Canada.
The company carries on with a strong management staff and a great
portfolio of brands. Brian's sons Peter, Kevin and Tim, are working
in the company, while his wife Liz is a director on its Advisory
Council.
Brian was on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Hospitality
Foundation and the Ontario Hostelry Institute, organizations
dedicated to the education of hospitality students, and he received
the Gold Award for his contribution to the industry. He was also
on the Advisory Board of Ontario Restaurant News since the magazine's
inception in 1988.
Brian loved photography, capturing hundreds of pictures of old
barns. His real passion was taking photos of his family and places
he loved to visit, which he kept in numerous albums. He liked
to collect coins, western movies and other mementos, displaying
them at his home and at his cottage on Stormy Lake in Haliburton,
which he truly loved.
Brian's life has been full and rewarding, and he was comforted
by all the love and kindnesses he received from his family, Friends,
and industry associates. He was a man of boundless curiosity
and interest in others. Charming, friendly, gracious, sentimental
and well liked by those he worked with and his close Friends,
he will be missed and fondly remembered. His wish was for us
to celebrate life and not mourn his passing.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a donation in
Brian's memory to Cancer Research at Princess Margaret Hospital,
or to a charity of your choice.
The family sends a personal thank-you to Dr. Jonathan
LAPP of
Oakville.
The funeral service will be held at 2: 30 p.m. this Saturday,
September 3, at the Glen Oaks Memorial Gardens, 3164 9th Line,
Oakville, Ontario (905) 257-8822. Reception to follow.
Visitation is on Friday, September 2, at The Reception Center,

Brian KIRKWOOD,
Wine
Merchant: (1943-2005)
Former musician with the Canadian band Magic Bubble gave up rock
'n' roll to find work in the food industry and survived a devastating
layoff to start his own wildly successful company
By Danny GALLAGHER,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Thursday,
December 22, 2005, Page S9
Toronto -- When he was a long-haired member of a rock band in
his 20s, Bruce
KIRKWOOD was admonished by a family member who
told him that he wouldn't amount to anything. The remark didn't
faze him. Years later, when he was suddenly laid off from a good
job, he didn't let that bother him, either. Instead, he formed
his own company and acquired distribution rights to Yellow Tail
Shiraz, an Australian product that has become a Canadian wine
craze.
In his first career choice, Mr.
KIRKWOOD had been bass guitarist
and trumpet player in the bands Magic Bubble and Seadog, groups
whose 36 recordings included five albums. Magic Bubble was so
chic in Canada that it earned a full-page feature in the Toronto
Star on December 23, 1973. "Brian was a natural comedian," said
Frank CHIARELLI, a band mate for five years. "He did a lot of
comedy sketches on stage."
Later, when he sought a more stable life, Mr.
KIRKWOOD got involved
in selling food and beverages, first with Campbell Soup Co. in
Alberta and then later in Ontario where he became sales manager
of its canned-food division.
"I sort of broke company rules at Campbell by hiring Brian when
he was over 30," said Les
ROBINSON, one of Mr.
KIRKWOOD's bosses.
"But he had some experience with a prepared-meats company and
he played in a band, which meant he had experience meeting the
public. We put him on our watch list."
Mr. KIRKWOOD stayed with Campbell for close to five years before
jumping to Bright's Wines (now Vincor) in 1980 where he was responsible
for its retail stores. In 1988, he moved to United Distillers,
which later became the huge conglomerate Diageo Canada. He rose
to become national vice-president of sales but left the company
when he was laid off in 1993.
While being suddenly jobless was devastating, Mr.
KIRKWOOD returned
to the industry at the head of a company that would sell and
market international wines, beers and spirits. In its early days,
the Kirkwood Group had just one product --
DAB beer from Germany
and struggled to stay in business. Then, in 2000, everything
changed. He attended a trade show in Bordeaux, France, where
he met Australian John Soutter, Yellow Tail's export director,
with the result that the
KIRKWOOD
Group beat out industry giants
Diageo and Maxxium for the prized account.
That hurdle removed, Mr.
KIRKWOOD then had to convince the Liquor
Control Board of Ontario to put Yellow Tail on its store shelves.
"The first cases rolled into Liquor Control Board of Ontario
stores in late summer of 2003," said Peter
KIRKWOOD, one of Mr.
KIRKWOOD's sons. "We knew it would be a great success and we
believed in the product. The wine changed the focus of the company."
Yellow Tail Shiraz has since supplanted Wolf Blass Yellow Label
Cabernet Sauvignon as the top-selling red wine in Ontario and
Canada. Yellow Tail Chardonnay is also a popular product and
ranks second in white-wine sales behind Lindemans Bin 65 Chardonnay.
In the fiscal year that ended in September of 2005, 495,000 cases
of Yellow Tail wine were sold in Canada, including 345,000 in
Ontario. In addition, the company retains
DAB, along with Dooley's,
a toffee-flavoured cream liqueur, and a slow-aged Nicaraguan
rum, plus a number of French wines.
"Brian helped turn that company into a multi-million dollar operation,"
said Les ROBINSON.
Brian KIRKWOOD was born April 1, 1943, in Kitchener, Ontario
He died on August 31, 2005, of cancer at his home in Oakville,
Ontario He was 62. He is survived by his wife Liz, brother David
and children Peter, Katie, Justin and Kevin, plus stepchildren
Jenn, Christopher and Tim. He was predeceased by his parents
Alan and June.

Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Friday, August 5, 2005 at the
age of 79 years. Clarke was born on July 2, 1926 at Weston, Ontario.

having served in the Navy. Clarke and Norma had two children
and lived in several locations in Eastern Canada before moving

their sixtieth wedding anniversary. Clarke's career was with
various companies in the aeronautical, petrochemical, agricultural,
automotive and Public Service. Clarke held the position of President

for all people and in his later years, worked as an advocate
for better health care. Clarke played hockey and baseball in
his younger years. Later he became an avid golfer and was fortunate
to have hit a hole-in-one in 1993. Clarke was a voracious but
very selective reader. He recently became a member of the Wild

CIFALDI,
Maria (née
PIRONAGGI)
Surrounded by her loving family, Maria
CIFALDI passed away after
a courageous battle with cancer on Wednesday, April 27, 2005,
in her 59th year. Beloved wife of Rocco for 41 years. Dearly
loved mother of Lina and her husband Nick
D'ORIA,
Jane and her
husband Simon
FARRUGIA,
Nancy and her husband Dominic
MAZZA.
She will be sadly missed by her grandchildren John, Rocco, Sarah,
Selena and Matteo. Predeceased by her parents Giuseppe
PIRONAGGI
and Maria DEFAZIO of Italy, In-laws Domenico
CIFALDI and Nicolina
CERICOLA.
Also survived by brothers and sister Domenico and wife
Assunta PIRONAGGI,
Giovannina and husband Amos
SGROMO, Antonio
PIRONAGGI and wife
Angelina
TROPEA of Italy. Predeceased by sister
Angelina PIRONAGGI and husband Francesco
GIGLIOTTI of Italy.
Maria was a remarkable woman. She devoted her entire life to
her husband, children, grandchildren, family members and Friends.
She was about laughter, good times, cooking, vacations, watching
her husband play and coach soccer and more recently - taking
up the game of golf - it was her determination to learn the game,
even though she had to put up with the "private lessons" given
by her husband Rocco. Those lessons paid off however, as she
achieved a hole-in-one in 2000 and has won numerous championship
flights at Westhaven Golf and County Club. Maria never put anything
she wanted to do aside and that is why she has achieved so much.
She has achieved satisfaction by taking the time to enjoy what
life had to offer her. Even though we are losing her at a relatively
young age, she had no regrets in life - and we definitely gained
by having such a loving, joyful and strong woman in our lives.
Family and Friends will be received at Westview Funeral Chapel,
709 Wonderland Road North, on Saturday from 7: 00-9:00 p.m. and
Sunday from 2: 00-4:00 p.m. and 7:00-9:00 p.m. The funeral mass
will be celebrated at Saint Mary's Church, 345 Lyle Street, on
Monday,
May 2, 2005 at 11: 00 a.m. with Father Joseph
DABROWSKI
officiating and Father Pio
D'ORIA assisting. Entombment at St.
Peter's Cemetery. At our mother's request, in lieu of flowers,
those wishing to make a donation are asked to consider the Run
