Namir KHAN,
Lecturer (1955-2005)
University of Toronto teacher, film buff and some-time actor
who enjoyed performing in front of his classes nurtured a dark
secret
By Danny GALLAGHER,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Tuesday, October
4, 2005, Page S9
Toronto -- Namir
KHAN's life was a dichotomy. In his professional
domain, he was an eloquent, fiery orator, whose speeches roused
lecture rooms at the University of Toronto. In private, he was
a complex, bland man, who kept many secrets to himself.
"He had a brilliant flair for performing. It contrasted with
his private life of simplicity and frugality," said one of his
Friends, Greg
KLYMKIW.
Mr. KHAN's animated, note-less lectures puzzled the most hardened
of freshmen students in the U of T's engineering department.
These students were accustomed to no-nonsense, cold, hard facts
in math and science and wondered why Mr.
KHAN, who stood a mere
5-foot-1, sprinkled his lectures with environmental, political
and psychological perspectives. The one-time supporting-role
actor even interjected his love of cinema, literary and pop culture
into his talks.
"He loved performing strategically and that also fed him as a
lecturer," Mr.
KLYMKIW said. "Seventy five per cent of his speeches
had to do with movies. I watched Lawrence of Arabia with him
over 20 times. He saw it hundreds of times. Lawrence as a human
being was a complex person and there were parallels with Namir."
Mr. KHAN sought to make his lectures entertaining and many students
stick-handled to get into his classes. His chief intellectual
influences were German philosopher Martin Heidegger and French
sociologist Jacques Ellul.
He would start each day drinking a cup of Earl Grey tea and tackling
the cryptic crossword puzzle in The Globe and Mail. By midday,
he would have finished an academic treatise, with evenings devoted
to polishing off one or two mystery, science-fiction or historical
books.
Born in India, Namir
KHAN was 18 when he arrived in Canada. He
soon enrolled at Carleton University, graduating in 1979. He
got his master's in 1983 and then switched to the University
of Toronto to start work on his doctorate, which he never completed.
He became a teacher's assistant at the University of Toronto
in 1984, teaching social sciences and engineering courses before
joining the university's faculty of engineering full-time in
"He was such a large part of my mind and my vocabulary," said
Wendy DIX, one of his former girlfriends. "He was one of the
most creative intellectuals I've ever known. I was a bit of an
observer but he never condescended. He was probably the most
brilliant mind in the room, and where people were not as smart
or educated, he didn't exclude them."
Filmmaker Cynthia
ROBERTS, another former girlfriend, recalls
meeting him at Carleton University in 1981 when both were photography
buffs. She was toting around a large-format Mamiya camera, prompting
him to remark, "That's a big camera." He then asked her out on
a date.
For all the passion he produced in front of a classroom, Mr.
KHAN's real love was cinema. He not only watched movies frequently,
he played roles in a number of them. In 1989, Mr.
KHAN ran into
Queer as Folk director Bruce McDonald and soon found himself
cast as an undertaker in Highway 61. Later, Mr. McDonald used
him as a bartender in Dance Me Outside, as a photographer in
Elimination Dance and a cameraman in Roadkill. At Ms.
ROBERTS's
request, Mr.
KHAN wrote a screenplay for an underground production
called Jack of Hearts about a scientist involved with body implants.
One of his last acts in the movie business was a voice-over in
the 1997 film City of Dark.
By 1997, Mr.
KHAN had decided to cut back on the movie business
to spend more time teaching and to edit the U of T's Bulletin
of Science, Technology and Society.
A few years ago, Mr.
KHAN discovered he had Korsakoff's syndrome,
a brain disorder that stems from excessive alcohol use and is
usually coupled with poor eating habits. Although he was known
to be a binge drinker who loved rum and coke, the news astonished
his Friends. "He was the life of the party but he kept his close
Friends at bay," said his friend Arnd
JURGENSEN. "To find out
that he had a serious drinking problem was of considerable shock."
In Korsakoff's syndrome, prolonged alcohol causes growths on
the brain; eventually, Mr.
KHAN was forced to give up teaching.
As a lecturer who didn't take notes and relied strictly on memory,
the illness came as a severe blow. However, when told the problem
was reversible if he stopped drinking, and that he would be "good
as new" within six months, Mr.
KHAN refused to quit.
"He was very gifted but he drank himself to the grave," said
one of his university superiors.
Others did not know until near the end. "I never realized Namir
was so close to death," Ms.
DIX said.
Ironically, near the end of his life, Mr.
KHAN began working
on a screenplay that involved a detective who had developed Korsakoff's
syndrome.
Namir KHAN was born January 11, 1955, in Allahabad, India. He
died in Toronto on July 10, 2005. A coroner's report on the cause
of death proved inconclusive. He had been suffering for several
years from Korsakoff's syndrome. He is survived by brothers Nadir
and Nazir and sisters Nazish and Nigaf. He was predeceased by
his parents Faiyaz and Mumtaz Jahan
KHAN and a brother, Nasir.

Reverend Canon, Executive Director, Anglican Foundation
"We have lots of love, Friendship, family; we are blessed." These
were some of John's last words, given through a wonderful smile,
as his magnificent brain was being ravaged by the Creutzfeldt-Jakob
Disease. John was born in Kitchener, Ontario, to the late Irvin
and Sally ERB (née
MEYSCHEIN.) He will always be missed by his
adored children Nicholas and Katie, his wife
Didy▼ (née
BRADISH)
of 29 years, his loving sisters and brothers-in-law Cathie and
John HOWARD, Hornby Island, British Columbia, and Margie and

CARR; and friend David
HUGHES.
His▼ many
ERB and Meyschein family
cousins love him and will miss him.
A passionate Canadian, John was a leader, Anglican Priest, teacher,
traveller, camper and actor. Until his late teens John was a
member of Trinity United, the
ERB family's church, where he grew
up in the Sunday School. He attended 'Young People's' both there
and at Saint John the Evangelist Anglican Church. When he returned
after working for a year in England, he joined the confirmation
class at Saint John. Thus began his journey to become an Anglican
priest. Graduating from the Kitchener Public School system and
Wilfred Laurier University, he received his early theological
training from Trinity College. He continued graduate studies
in later years in Boston, Virginia and Jerusalem.
John's ministry began at St. Aidan's in 1965. In 1967 his strong
identification with young people led him to a truly successful
period as Director of Youth for the Church of England, both in
Guyana, S.A. and then in the United Kingdom..
John returned to Canada with Didy in December 1973 and continued
his ministries, first at Grace Church on the Hill, then at St.
Luke's East York. In 1981 he became Rector of St. Michael and
All Angels, where he embraced all, and many saw him as more than
a pastor. He retired from St. Michael's in 1997. For the past
seven years John's energetic leadership has been devoted to the
Anglican Foundation of Canada, a work he loved. It enabled him
to travel the length and breadth of this country, often visiting
parishes in small communities, and as in all of his previous
work, met wonderful dedicated people and established lasting
Friendships and respect everywhere.
Throughout his working life John participated on many Boards
and Committees focusing on community outreach, and has helped
develop programs such as Out Of The Cold, Street Haven for battered
women and Christie Gardens, and has worked to encourage interfaith
ministry. His robust leadership has been recognized and honoured
in many ways including the 125th Anniversary Medal of Canada
Member and former Chaplain, Order of Saint John Ambulance, Serving
Brother - Saint John of Jerusalem; Chaplaincy appointments to The
Royal Society of Physicians and Surgeons, The Canadian Club of
Toronto, The Benchers and The Order of St. Lazarus.
His personal passions are his family, his ministry, the theatre,
ballet, opera, the family cottage at Oliphant and the Taize Retreat
in France.
During his hospital confinement John and his family were enormously
moved by those many Friends, acquaintances and co-workers old
and new, who visited during his last days. Literally, they came
by the hundreds from all spectrums of society to reminisce, renew
Friendships and offer their love and support. Nothing could have
made more visible the lasting impact John had on so many lives.
We will always be grateful for the kindness and incredible care
given to John and his family by all the caregivers in the Palliative
Care Unit at St. Michael's Hospital.
In lieu of flowers, please join John in his living legacy for
theological education through his work at the Anglican Foundation
of Canada (80 Hayden Street, Toronto, M4Y 3G2), or to the charity
of your choice.
Visitation will be at the Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton
Ave. W., Toronto, between Yonge and Avenue Rd., 1: 00 to 4:00
p.m. and 7: 00 to 9:00 p.m. Friday, August 5th.
The funeral will be held at St. James Cathedral, King St. E.
at Church Street, at 11: 00 a.m. Saturday, August 6th. A service
preceding interment in Woodland Cemetery will be held in Kitchener
at the Church of Saint John The Evangelist, Water Street, north of
