I Remember -- Red
HORNER
By Rob MacLAUCHLAN,
Monday,
May 9, 2005, Page S6
Rob MacLAUCHLAN of Toronto writes about Red
HORNER, whose obituary
appeared on April 29.
At the height of the Depression in the winter of 1935, three
young boys from Stanhope on the north shore of Prince Edward
Island decided to write a letter to their favourite Toronto Maple
Leafs player, Red
HORNER.
The theme of the letter was that the boys, who all lived on a
small dairy farm where they shared one pair of skates among 11
children, believed "they had the stuff to make it to the National
Hockey
League." My father Leslie
MacLAUCHLAN (11,) my uncle Harry
(9) and Mervyn
ROBINSON (9) were convinced that the only thing
standing in their way was a lack of hockey equipment and they
had come to the conclusion that there must be plenty of it lying
around Maple Leaf Gardens. If Red would just toss it into a box,
they'd sure put it to good use.
Much to their dismay, the box never arrived. Years later, I had
become good Friends with Stewart
GAVIN, who played for the Leafs
from 1980 to 1985. Through him I was able to track down Mr.
HORNER,
who learned about the three boys from Stanhope. A few weeks later,
a signed photograph of Mr.
HORNER was delivered by Stew. Included
on the photograph was the note: "Les: Sorry, the stuff must have
got lost in the mail. Yours truly, Red
HORNER."
That framed photograph hangs proudly in my parent's home, validation
that Red at least believed they had the "stuff" to make it to
the National Hockey League.

MAHER,
Edward
Gerard "
Gerry"
Retired Reinsurance Executive. Devoted husband, loving father
and grandfather, beloved brother, uncle and friend, passed away
suddenly November 26, 2005 at Lee Memorial Hospital, Fort Myers,
Florida as a result of injuries sustained from a fall. Gerry
was a model of faith, fortitude and love of family. He was a
respected business executive, having graduated from Fordham in
1958, and worked for Guy Carpenter Reinsurance for over 35 years.
In his later years, he was responsible for opening branches in
many countries all over the world. Eighteen of his years with
Guy Carpenter were spent in Toronto, Canada, where he raised
his children. He forged many Friendships among his colleagues,
here at home and internationally. Gerry was known to be a model
of good stewardship in all aspects of his professional endeavours.
When he retired, he offered his knowledge through volunteer efforts
with Service Corps of Retired Executives, and parish finance
administration for the parishes he attended. Gerry was a wondeful
family man. He was born to John and Anne
(DURCAN)
MAHER,
October
16, 1927, in the shadows of Mt. Nephin in Co. Mayo, Ireland.
In his youth he participated in many athletic and scholastic
adventures including boxing and drama. Gerry came to America
in 1947, and worked for his Uncle Jack
DURCAN while putting himself
through college. He stayed very close to his 14 siblings in Ireland,
England and New York. In 1952 he met the love of his life, Eileen
STEEL, who survives him. They were married June 2, 1956. Together
they raised seven children. Through perseverance and sacrifice,
Gerry assured that each of his children could go to college.
He often reminded his children of the value and importance of
a liberal arts education. Gerry's greatest delight came from
watching his grown children start their own families; he was
very proud of his 19 grandchildren. He hoped to positively impact
the next generation through family gatherings where many humorous
stories were shared along with an appreciation of the family
history and heritage. He was, above all else, a man of faith,
devoted to daily reception of the Eucharist and recitation of
the rosary. He was a member of St. Andrew Catholic Church in
Cape Coral, Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Chatham, New Jersey,
and St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Oakville, Ontario. He actively
offered his time, talent and treasure to the church, especially
through his volunteer work with the Corpus Christi Parish; as
the mediator of the parish pastoral council at St. Andrew in
Cape Coral; the St. Vincent de Paul Society, A.F.C.A.A.M. (African
Caribbean American Ministry) and as a lector and Eucharistic
Minister. He was a 4th Degree member of the Knights of Columbus.
The best lessons of faith were taught by his lived example. In
2002, his son Brian died tragically, and this left a hole in
Gerry's heart that never mended. We are comforted to know that
father and son are now united in the presence of Christ, and
that Gerry's heart no longer aches. We have lost our husband,
father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Our consolation
is our faith in the day we will see him again, in his eternal
happiness. In his 78 years Gerry touched the minds, hearts and
souls of many. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother
Seamus MAHER of Manchester, England, and his son Brian
MAHER
of Charlotte, North Carolina. He is survived by his wife of 49
years, Eileen; children Kevin (Lucy)
