An 'unbelievable' loss
Families try to cope with gun slayings of two young men
Summer weekend began with a wedding and ended in death
By Henry STANCU and Patrick
EVANS,
Staff
Reporters
More than 1,000 people are expected at an Etobicoke mosque this
morning to mourn the deaths of two young men killed early Monday
and to pray for Toronto's gun violence to end.
Loyan Ahmed
GILAO, 23, and
Ali
Mohamud
ALI, 19, will be honoured
in a 9 a.m. service at the Khalid Bin Al Waliid mosque on Bethridge
Rd. near Kipling Ave.
Last night, throngs of people visited, telephoned and emailed
the two Friends' families in Etobicoke and Richmond Hill.
Mohamed GILAO, a prominent member of the Somali community in
Toronto, described his son's death as "unbelievable" and the
outpouring of condolences as "overwhelming."
"Every week, we had set aside one day to communicate as father
and son, but lately Loyan has been busy; we didn't have that
opportunity in the seven days before he died. That's the sad
part," he said, weeping.
"My wife (Ayan
OSMAN) is very strong for me and we are leaning
on each other."
GILAO, a third-year York University commerce student, and
ALI
were celebrating with a group of Friends Sunday, the day after
serving in the wedding party at a friend's marriage.
The two were gunned down after a night out at the Phoenix Concert
Theatre on Sherbourne St. They were with a group of six to seven
men, standing at the corner of Homewood Ave. and Maitland Place
after leaving the nightclub.
A man walked toward them on Homewood and, without any words,
pulled out a handgun and fired several times toward the group,
police said.
ALI died from a gunshot wound to the head and
GILAO died from
a gunshot wound to the chest, an autopsy showed yesterday.
GILAO had been planning to announce his engagement to his girlfriend
Zainab ALI in the coming months.
The elder
GILAO, who has travelled several times on peace missions
to his homeland, is a respected figure in both the Somali community
and across Greater Toronto.
He was praised as a major "touchstone" in a community that transcends
culture, religion and politics. Friends said the elder
GILAO
was given the Queen's Golden Jubilee Award two years ago and
honoured with a Young Men's Christian Association Peace Medallion
for helping people in his adopted community and homeland.
The couple, who immigrated to Canada from Somalia in 1990, have
four daughters, 8 to 20.
In Richmond Hill,
ALI's grieving family received relatives and
Friends at their house.
ALI's uncle, Ahmed
JAMA, said that since
Monday as many as 500 people had come to pay their respects.
About two dozen mourners stood outside the home last night, talking
in small groups and keeping a quiet watch on
ALI's father, mother
and three sisters. Visitors pulled up in a steady stream of cars.
Neighbours came on foot.
ALI's father, Mahamud
JAMA, said his son moved to Vancouver eight
months ago to chase his dreams. He said
ALI dreamed big, with
all the energy and optimism of a 19-year-old man who had just
begun to make his way in the world.
"He had a lot of ambitions,"
JAMA said. "He was planning to open
a business, his own trucking company. He would say, 'Dad, this
is what I'm planning. I know I need to work hard.'"
JAMA said
ALI came back two weeks ago for the wedding.
He made a full vacation out of his Toronto visit, arriving just
in time for Caribana two weekends ago, spending time with his
family and attending the wedding on Friday.
JAMA said
ALI's holiday
was almost over when he was killed. "He had a rental car due
Monday."
JAMA said his son wasn't involved in any gang or criminal activity.
"My kid has never been with any gang," he said. "He was not violent.
He had no record with the police."
The gun violence in Toronto has cost
JAMA his only son, and he's
furious about it.
"Get rid of the thugs who are killing innocents," he said. "We
are grieving now. Every day another family is grieving. The city
has to clear this sort of thing up. We have to get rid of these
guns."
ALI was born 19 years ago in Hargeisa, Somalia. His family came
to Canada when he was 2.
Police are seeking a man in his 20s, 5-foot-10 to 6 feet and
150 to 160 pounds, with black braids and a goatee. He was wearing
jeans, a black T-shirt and a blue do-rag.

CAMPBELL,
Eric
Hugh
Eric Hugh CAMPBELL died peacefully on December 30, age 95, at
"Braeburn", his cherished family home for the past 45 years.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Phyllis May
(MOODIE)
and is survived by his five children and their spouses (Christopher/Gay,
Tony/Alison, John/ Bridget, Nigel/Judy, Elizabeth/John) as well
as by his much-loved 15 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
He is remembered by a host of loving Friends and especially Barbara
CAMPBELL and Isabel
MERSEL.
A very proud Canadian, he was born in Valparaiso, Chile in 1909
of Scottish, Yorkshire and German ancestry. He deeply loved his
native land and returned to it several times over the years while
his schooling, career and choices for his young family took him
to Dollar Academy near Edinburgh, Scotland; La Paz, Bolivia
Ottawa, Canada; San Salvador, El Salvador; and finally to Hudson
Heights, Quebec.
He considered himself fortunate to have had an opportunity to
build an unequalled 70 year career in the Canadian and international
public utility industry, starting with Bolivian Power Company/
Montreal Engineering in 1935, followed by the Gatineau Power
Company of Ottawa, and then the Canadian International Power
Company of Montreal. C.I.P. was an international public utility
holding company in which he rose to be President and Director
not only of it but also of several of its subsidiaries including
the Monterey Railway, Light and Power Company, Mexico, Compania
Alumbrado Electrico de San Salvador, Energia Electrica de Venezuela,
and the Barbados Light and Power Company (of which he was chairman
for 25 years, retiring at the age of 88 and continuing as an
emeritus until his death).
A funeral service and interment will be held at 1: 30 p.m., Saturday,
January 15 at St James' Church, 640 Main Road, Hudson Heights,
Quebec followed by a reception for Friends and family in the
church hall. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Victorian
Order of Nurses would be particularly appreciated (Victorian
Order of Nurses, 98 Cameron Avenue, Hudson, Québec, J0P 1H0).
The family wishes to express deepest appreciation to members
of their father's wonderful care team, with special thanks to
Mrs. Violeta
VALIENTES and her family, Effie

Dr.
Ron
