Tony COSTANZA,
Hairdresser: 1928-2005
Immigrant from Italy took up barbering in Ottawa; for decades,
he trimmed the locks of the important and not so important
By Buzz BOURDON,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Monday, February
7, 2005 - Page S6
Ottawa -- For 45 years, ambassadors, prime ministers, viceroys
and thousands of less-celebrated men had their hair cut by Tony
COSTANZA at the Roma Barber Shop on Elgin Street in Ottawa. Holding
court behind his favourite barber chair -- the first on the right
when you came in -- he dispensed advice, jokes, opinions and
stories to a never-ending stream of customers.
Everyone felt welcome, from working stiffs to the late Ray
HNATYSHYN
when he was governor-general. Pierre Elliott
TRUDEAU dropped
by, as well as judges from the nearby provincial courthouse and
cadres of lawyers from surrounding office buildings. National
Defence Headquarters isn't far away, so he served soldiers, airmen
and sailors of all ranks, too.
All his clients received the same, no-fuss treatment. The interior
of the tiny shop, which also houses Tony's Smoke Shop, is decorated
with postcards, military cap badges and framed photos of favourite
clients. The late Conservative politician George Hees is up there,
along with former chief of defence General Ramsey Withers, and
Paul Robinson, a former U.S. ambassador to Canada.
Retired warrant officer Roger
DESPARDE was one of many clients
who made Friends with Mr.
COSTANZA. "I was in at least once a
week. I got to like him and we got along very well. He was like
a brother to me, he confided in me."
The shop is an oasis of civility in an uncivil world, a place
"where people came by to talk," said David
HOMA, a long-time
client who recognized Mr.
COSTANZA for his acts of kindness.
"From time to time, someone would come in for a haircut but couldn't
pay. He'd thank them for their business, even though he knew
they wouldn't be back to pay. I'm sure that happened a hundred
times."
Originally from Sicily, Mr.
COSTANZA served in the Italian border
police in the late 1940s and then spent five years working in
the coal mines of Lancashire, England. In 1955, he immigrated
to Canada equipped with little English and just $20. A year later,
he sent for his wife, Genoveffa, and son Alex.
Settling in Ottawa, he found work wherever he could. In 1955,
he took up barbering. After working for others, Mr.
COSTANZA
set up on his own in 1960. Nine years later, he moved across
the street to the present location and never looked back.
It wasn't easy, though. Six days a week, Mr.
COSTANZA opened
the shop at 7 a.m. and spent the next 13 hours there. He only
took a vacation twice, returning to Italy in 1976 and 1988.
On a good day, he served about 10 clients, or roughly 100,000
haircuts in a career. Now and then, he felt obliged to exert
professional influence. "If a guy wanted a particular style and
my father thought he didn't have the hair for it, he would tactfully
suggest something else," said son Mario
COSTANZA. "
The guy would
usually walk away happy."
The late 1960s and early 1970s weren't kind to Mr.
COSTANZA.
Long hair was fashionable and most males no longer wanted a "short
back and sides" every two weeks. He waited patiently for better
days and played a lot of checkers.
However, things changed when son Alex
COSTANZA began work at
the shop. "I thought it would be a good idea to learn the trade
and help my father out. We got along, didn't have any disagreements."
His younger brother Mario had already come to know the shop in
the 1960s. He had a job there sweeping floors after school. "It
was a thrill to be there and see my father at work and listen
to him shooting the breeze with his customers. At the end of
the day, he'd throw me a quarter."
In 1978, Mario decided to make it a family threesome. "I liked
the relaxed atmosphere [so] I decided to follow in my father's
footsteps."
On January 10, Tony
COSTANZA cut his last head of hair. He went
home early after deciding he did not feel well, and now his chair
sits unoccupied and his brushes, scissors, clippers and combs
lay untouched.
Gaetano (Tony)
COSTANZA was born in Sicily on February 13, 1928.
He died in Ottawa on January 13. He was 76. He leaves his wife,
Genoveffa, sons Alex and Mario, and his sister, Concetta.

and spent a lot of time hiking and horseback riding in 'Taylor's
Bush' back when there were only farm fields 'north of the Danforth'.
He met Mom at a Saint John's Norway church dance; she was a great
tennis player and they were on the Kew Beach courts often. Dad
rowed in the 'eights' for the Argonauts, and his crew was of
Olympic calibre. Dad was a businessman. He started working at
fifteen, and although he never had a chance to attend university
he became a successful owner of industrial heating engineering
and supply companies. He and Mom loved to travel. Starting in
the mid-1950s they spent more than two decades visiting England,
Scotland, and Europe, repeatedly. He also loved to 'build'. As
well as building the family home in York Mills, and a much loved
cottage on Mink Lake near Apsley; at the 'ripe old age of 65'
he helped his children build their cottages in Muskoka. Dad had
a full life, and while we miss him, his passing was just as he

to show for it. Saint John's Norway Anglican Church was an important
focus for social activities and it was at a church dance where

on being at home and bringing up her three children. She took
up golf and worked in a women's fashion shop in her mature years

TAILOR/TAYLOR,
Dallas (née
HOMER-
DICKSON/DIXON)
Died peacefully in Dundas, Ontario on January 11, 2005 at the
age of 90. Dallas leaves her children Susan
CARLSON,
Peter
TAILOR/TAYLOR
and his wife
Mary
MOOGK,
Tim
TAILOR/TAYLOR and his wife Claire and Penelope
HUDSON.
She leaves her adored grandchildren Janet, Stephen, Leif,
Jennifer, Francesca, Alexandra, Adam, Mark, Christopher and Philip
and her great grandchildren Max, Aiden, Alexandra, Anika and
Olivia.
She is also survived by her 'baby brudder' Douglas
HOMER-
DICKSON/DIXON
of Victoria. Dallas was born in Toronto on July 2, 1914. She
lived in Winnipeg and Victoria before travelling to England to
work in London during World War 2. After the war she married
Paul TAILOR/TAYLOR and became passionately immersed in the life of a
naval wife. This resulted in her living in Ottawa, Victoria,
Washington, D.C., London, England and Hamilton, Ontario. It was
in the Hamilton area that Dallas spent her last 44 years. As
a manifestation of her lifelong love of the arts, she was for
many years actively engaged with the National Ballet of Canada.
In addition to her involvement with the Hamilton Branch she contributed
to the development of the National Ballet School. Dallas was
a cook extraordinaire who believed that most problems could be
solved with good food. She was well known for her parties, her
twinkle, her storytelling and her ability to put people at ease.
The family would like to acknowledge the tremendous support of
the caregivers at the Hamilton Community Care Access Centre,
Victorian Order of Nurses and Paramed for helping Dallas conclude
her life in her own home. In particular, we recognize the support
of Tammy HENDSEBEE whose professional dedication to and love

SERMAT,
Dr.
Vello▼
(August 19, 1925-September 16, 2005)
Vello passed away quietly at St. Joseph's hospital on Friday
after suffering from a stroke earlier in the week. His son and
daughter were by his side, and several of his Friends had visited
him earlier that day. Born in Voru, Estonia, Vello immigrated
to Canada in the 1950's, spending time in Finland and Sweden
after escaping from German-occupied Estonia in 1943. His parents,
August and Marta
SERMAT, and his two brothers, Ulo and Ago, are
deceased. Vello graduated from Yale University in 1960 with a
doctorate in psychology and earned the Yale Graduate School's
Senior Sterling Fellowship, as well as the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship.
He was the recipient of numerous other grants and awards from
the University of Oregon, the National Research Council of Canada
and York University. Vello retired from teaching as Professor
of Psychology at York University, and his long-standing career
included postings at the University of Toronto, the University
of California at Berkeley, the University of California at San
Francisco and the University of Oregon, at Eugene. His many publications
included articles in the Canadian Journal of Psychology, the
Journal of Social Psychology, the British Journal of Social and
Clinical Psychology, the Journal of Baltic Studies, Psykologia,
Akadeemia, Kasvatus, and Kasvun Vuodet, among many others. He
spent many years compiling his memoirs and self-published a novel
in the 1980s. A prolific writer, painter, photographer and aficionado
of the symphony, the ballet and the theatre, Vello appreciated
all things cultural and artistic. He was enamored of nature and
wildflowers, long walks and still moments. His original paintings
and photographs reflect the passion he held for the beauty of
the natural world. Awarded the Order of Estonia in February 2001,
Vello considered this honour very dear, as his heart and soul
never strayed far from the land of his birth. Vello leaves his
two children, Alan
SERMAT and Stephanie
HOMER, as well as many
close Friends, family members and associates worldwide. His funeral
service will be held on Saturday, September 24th at 11 a.m. in
St. Andrew's Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church, 383 Jarvis
Street at Carlton. In lieu of flowers, his family requests that
donations be made to the Nature Conservancy of Canada or to the
Estonian Relief Committee in Canada. Murray E. Newbigging Funeral

SERMAT,
Vello▲ -- Dispatch
By Kate L.
BARRETTE,
Saturday,
October 22, 2005, Page M6
Vello SERMAT developed a keen sense of survival at a young age.
At 16, having been conscripted into the German army, which was
occupying his native Estonia, he found an opportunity to escape
by boat to Finland. He would have to leave his family behind.
But his father gave him gold coins for the journey, and he left.
In Finland, there were still many dangers: conscription into
the Finnish army or, with the Soviet presence, the risk of being
deported to Siberia. So he escaped to Sweden -- on skis, by night,
over the Baltic Sea.
Dr. SERMAT made it to an Estonian refugee camp, where he was
one of 100 students to finish an education interrupted by war.
"They really became each other's families," said his daughter,
Stephanie HOMER.
Ten of the group attended his funeral last month.
The trauma of leaving Estonia never left Dr.
SERMAT, and it informed
his studies when he came to Canada in 1953. With three languages
already under his belt, he conquered English after just two years
in Toronto. He then studied psychology at Yale, specializing
in social relations and loneliness.
Dr. SERMAT, who loved sketching and photographing nature, could
never forget his native land. Through the years, he contributed
political writings and academic support to Estonian universities.
In 2001, Estonia awarded him the White Cross, the country's highest
civilian honour.
"He made... every student over the years aware of the experience
he came from, and how it relates to the modern world," Ms.
HOMER
said. "He never stopped caring."
