LEAKER,
David
Thomas
(September 11, 1926-July 6, 2005)
David Thomas
LEAKER of Edmonton passed away peacefully with family
at his side on July 6, 2005 after a long struggle recovering
from heart surgery. He was in his 79th year.
Beloved husband, partner, soul mate and best friend of Shirley
LEAKER (née
BAILLIE,) they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary
in June 2005. His life and marriage remain an inspiration.
David leaves behind a world enriched by his efforts in business,
in Friendship, in community service and most especially in his
love and dedication to his family.
Left behind not merely to grieve in sadness but to celebrate
and cherish a life well lived are daughter Cathy
LEAKER and her
partner Amy
PHILLIPS of Great Neck, Long Island, U.S.A.; son
Richard LEAKER and his wife
Sandra
FOY of Edmonton and son Michael
LEAKER and his wife
Karen
FRUETEL and his three beloved grandchildren,
Sarah, Ben and Hannah, all of London, Ontario. He taught us the
true meaning of generosity, commitment and honesty.
He is survived by his sister Gwen
HATTER, and brother John
LEAKER,
and will also be missed by his sisters-in-law Elsie
LEAKER and
Joan FINDLAY and brother-in-law Gerald
HATCH; together with many
nieces and nephews.
Too numerous to mention, David touched so many people through
work, volunteerism, family and Friendship. His retirement years
were given over to extensive community service and he was proud
of his work with The Sir Winston Churchill Society (Edmonton)
the Heritage Sites committee, Edmonton historical board and the
Edmonton Advisory Board of the Salvation Army, to list but a
few.
A private cremation and family gathering are planned. A memorial
celebration for family and Friends, to be held in London, Ontario,
will be announced at a later date.
If desired, in lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that
memorial donations be made to The Healing Garden Fund, c/o The
University Hospital Foundation, 8440 112 Street, Edmonton, Alberta

ALLEN,
Robert
Benedict
Born September 21, 1911 in Chatham, New Brunswick, died peacefully
in Mississauga on April 2, 2005, our beloved husband and father
Ben ALLEN, aged 93 and a half years. Ben is survived by his wife
of fifty years, Mary Catherine, née
SHILLITO, and his two children,
James and Laura, his adored grandchild Richard
FOY, and his son-in-law
Errol FOY.
The
son of Robert
ALLEN and Catherine Ann
McEACHERN
of Chatham and latterly Saskatoon, Ben was the last surviving
member of a family of nine. He is also survived by seven nieces
and nephews and twenty-three grand nieces and nephews with further
descendents. Ben's ancestors first came to Canada in 1772, and
his family had extensive connections to the Roman Catholic Church
in the Maritime Provinces of Canada and previously in Scotland.
His family were proud Jacobites. Two notable relatives were Bishop
Angus McEACHERN, the first Bishop of Charlottetown and a pioneer
of the Catholic church in the Maritimes, and Monsignor Benedict
MURDOCH,
Ben's godfather and for whom he was named, a famous
priest, author and Canadian Expeditionary Force chaplain during
World War One. Ben graduated from the University of Saskatchewan
in 1936 with the highest honours as a Bachelor of Science in
Geology. He was also a Professional Engineer. He worked as a
geologist until his gradual retirement in his seventies, latterly
with Gulf Minerals Canada. He loved the intellectual challenges
posed by his chosen profession. Ben served his country and the
cause of Freedom throughout World War Two. As a Captain in the
Canadian Army, he commanded soldiers stationed in the fields
of Kent during the Battle of Britain. Later, he joined the Royal
Navy and spent the latter half of the war as a staff officer
in the Admiralty. Ben
ALLEN was known for his kindness and fairness
to all, for his unassuming nature, for his natural personal dignity
and grace, and for his intellect and culture. He loved animals
and children, with a special love for all cats. He loved reading
and listening to music, particularly Mozart. He was fascinated
by science and by the complexities of military and geopolitical
history. He was an Anglophile in the best sense of the word.
Although he was by nature conservative, he firmly believed that
the favour of fortune or birth carried with it as many responsibilities
as it did privileges. He wholeheartedly despised those who used
power and position of any sort to advantage against the less
fortunate and believed in justice for all. He hated bullies.
We miss our dear Husband and Dad very much every day. We believe
he is in a better place but we will always carry him here in
our hearts. Friends may attend the Requiem Mass held at St. Patrick's
Church, 921 Flagship Drive in Mississauga (Tomken between Dundas
and Bloor) at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6. The service will
be followed by interment at the Assumption Cemetery, 6933 Tomken
Road in Mississauga (east corner of Tomken and Derry Road). In
lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Oakville Humane
Society or to the Alzheimer Society of Peel. For further information
or to arrange delivery of flowers, please contact Lee Funeral
Home 905-826-1148. We are most grateful for your caring.
