Jim FERGUSON, 65: 'Dad' to 200 kids
Household of five off spring enriched with foster kids
Jim FERGUSON 'always had time for us'
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
Jim FERGUSON was an ordinary guy with a passion for soccer --
but because he was from Scotland he called it football -- a love
of and pocket full of chocolate buttons, a particular Scottish
brand of sweets, and a hobby involving the building and maintenance
of a backyard fish pond at his Ajax home. In other words, nothing
special.
But try telling that to the more than 200 children to whom he
and his wife Audrey were foster parents.
Ken ZHI, 21, adored the man he called "Bond" after the James
Bond movies both loved watching together. Now a student at Humber
College taking architectural technology, he was 13 and his brother
8 when the two came to live with the
FERGUSONs.
Neither boy could
speak a word of English when they arrived, but the
FERGUSONs
made them feel like family.
"He was more than a dad to me,"
ZHI said. "He kept his promises
to me more than my father, who was too busy with business for
me. Bond always had time for us."
FERGUSON died June 1 of cancer. He was 65. At the time of his
death, there were four foster children -- boys -- living with
them. There still are.
"The kids have been wonderful," Audrey
FERGUSON said. "They've
taken over watering plants, emptying the dishwasher, the little
things."
ZHI was still living in the
FERGUSON home when Jim
FERGUSON was
diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago. At one point they all believed he
had only 24 hours to live. "We never considered stopping having
foster children," Audrey said. "Ken was wonderful; he was here
then and he took over."
It was 1977 and the youngest of the
FERGUSONs' five biological
children -- Karen, Kim, Keith, Kirsty and Karl -- was 8 when
one of the kids came home from school with a pamphlet calling
for people to become foster parents.
"I didn't know at that point that you got paid for it -- about
$5 or $7 a day at the time, I think," Audrey said. "We were very
poor, but I thought our kids aren't that bad, maybe we can take
another."
The family was living then in a rented four-bedroom Agincourt
townhouse. A house painter by trade in his native Edinburgh as
well as a onetime semi-pro soccer player, Jim
FERGUSON had succumbed
to his wanderlust and immigrated to Canada in 1969, where he
went to work in the factory of a large engineering firm here.
(Later he worked 25 years for General Motors until his retirement
14 years ago.) The family had no car and
FERGUSON kept in shape
by running to and from his job.
For three years the
FERGUSONs had lived in a four-bedroom Ontario
Housing unit.
"Jim was very old-fashioned. He wouldn't let me work," his wife
said, until she insisted the family move from what she considered
to be a bad environment for her children to the Agincourt apartment
and then to their first home in Markham. Audrey
FERGUSON worked
part-time in the morning or afternoon, and all five kids worked
after school at a local pizzeria at one time or another to get
what they needed.
"We all played competitive hockey and soccer," said daughter
Kim FERGUSON, recalling how her parents were at all of their
tournaments in the United States.
Their first foster child was a 10-year-old named Tanya, who became
Friends with the
FERGUSONs' biological daughter Kirsty. After
Tanya came baby Michael, who was very sickly. "I thought he'd
never live," Audrey said.
"He was crying, crying, crying," said Kim, now a social worker.
"Dad took him and soon both of them fell asleep in the chair."
Jim and Audrey
FERGUSON had to team feed one pair of very weak
twins who required an ounce of formula per hour; she would feed
and he would take them in turn to burp them, even after he had
warned his wife against taking in babies, telling her he knew
she would have trouble giving them up when they were adopted.
He was right.
"It was heartbreaking when they left," Audrey recalled. She used
to take a pill and go to her bedroom, where she would "cry it
out" cradling the child's pyjamas or some other item she'd deliberately
kept as a memento. Her husband was also upset, but he was the
one who "got on with it," cooking one of his everything-in-the-pot
spaghetti dinners for the other children and running the house.
"Jim handled it better, but he felt it with a lot of the kids,"
she said.
They fought to keep Jessie, who had come to them as a 4-day-old
newborn. "I just loved this child. We tried to cancel the meeting.
It was pure panic," Audrey recalled, but when they met her prospective
adoptive parents, they had to admit she was going to a fine home.
Jessie's mother has made a point of keeping in touch with the
FERGUSONs, recently inviting Audrey to Jessie's Grade 8 graduation.
But not all of the children were compliant and loving. There
have been temper tantrums, punching, screaming and spitting in
their home. At one point Audrey was black and blue from her knees
to her toes because of being kicked. One child stole all of Audrey's
rings -- Jim gave her a diamond at the birth of each of their
children -- and gave them to his father, who then pawned them.
"They lost all the jewellery, but they kept those kids," said
daughter Karen
KETTUNEN, herself a foster mother.
"It's a difficult time for a lot of the kids; they miss their
parents," Audrey said. "All you can do is sit and comfort them."
And that is what Jim
FERGUSON did.
Unassuming, laid-back and accepting of who they were, he would
watch television with the children, quietly and inevitably winning
their trust.
son Keith remembered his father lying on the floor in their television
room, holding the family's pet budgies. "The kids loved that."
In recent years, the family stopped taking in babies and had
been fostering older children, all boys. They took to calling
the FERGUSONs, who have 10 biological grandchildren, Grandpa
and Grandma as well.
FERGUSON often took them golfing. After retirement, he returned
to Scotland for visits twice a year and transformed the living
room of the house into what he called the Edinburgh room, with
photos and memorabilia from his hometown. But he spent most of
his time in the kids' television room or downstairs playing pool
with them.
They'd just do normal, family-type things together.
Ken ZHI remembered buying fish for the fish pond and chasing
out a bat that was trapped in the basement, laughing but scared
at the same time, too, then being thrilled when he and his brother
were the ones who caught it.
"He used to say to me that we were more than a family to them,"
he said.
Jim FERGUSON was buried wearing a watch
ZHI gave him at his first
Christmas with the family.
His death hit the
FERGUSONs' foster kids hard. One of the boys
living with them stopped eating, another was visibly upset.
"Poor wee soul," said Audrey, who wants to continue being a foster
parent for at least a few more years. "I assured them nothing
will change."
