In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather, Robert
PECK,
who passed away six years ago - October 2, 1999. As we stood
beside your bedside Our hearts were crushed and sore, We saw
you slowly sinking And knew they could do no more. In tears we
saw you leaving And we watched you fade away Our hearts were
totally broken When you left us on that day. Some people say
as time goes by The heartache will subside, But the feelings
in our heart today Are the same as the day you died. No matter
how our lives have changed No matter what we do We'll never forget
those precious years The ones we shared with you. Sadly missed
and lovingly remembered by Donna, Wayne, Dave, Rob and Dan.

MURRAY,
Donald
Thomas
Passed away on May 2, 2005, just 3 weeks after his 98th birthday.
Born in Ratho, Midlothian County, Scotland, emigrated to Canada
in 1923, and spent his first Canadian winter driving a horse-drawn
supply sleigh on a route in northern Saskatchewan. Worked for
Massey-Harris in Saskatchewan for many years, eventually as a
supervisor of dealer territories. Moved to Ste. Therese, Quebec
in 1942 to take a position as maintenance supervisor of the giant
war plant at Bouchard outside Montreal. After the war he became
General Sales Manager of Penn Controls and moved to the head
office in Toronto in 1954. Many of his Friends and acquaintances
will remember him as the owner of a company that sold and serviced
electric and gas golf carts for the last three decades of his
life. Sports was a life long interest as player and coach - golf,
soccer, hockey, basketball, track and field, and football. In
the days of leather helmets he played in a Grey Cup game as halfback
for the Regina (now Saskatchewan) Roughriders. In 1939 he married
Erma Belle
WILCOX of Gainsborough, Saskatchewan, who passed away
in 1999. He is survived by his son Douglas Gary
MURRAY and Gary's
wife Shirley. Gary and Shirley wish to thank caregiver Gloria
WHYNE and the nurses at Rouge Valley Centenary Hospital who looked
after him in his final days. We also deeply appreciate the kindness
of all those who brightened his later life with visits and who
helped him to remain in his home of 51 years until two weeks
before his death, especially Len and Cindy
VAN
RYN,
Joy
PECK,
and Debbie
PERRIN. At a mid-summer date to be announced, his
ashes will be interred beside those of his wife at Churchill
Cemetery near Ballantrae and a memorial service will follow.

Homicide No. 13
By Kelly PEDRO,
Free
Press
Crime
Reporter
A Toronto-area man faces a second-degree murder charge after
one man was shot to death and another injured in a pub parking
lot early yesterday.
Dwayne PITTER, 23, of Vaughan, was charged yesterday with second-degree
murder and attempted murder in connection with London's record
13th homicide.
PITTER is to appear in a London court today.
Joshua Kenneth
WILLIAMS, 22, of the London area, was shot in
the torso outside the Roxbury Pub and Grill at 1165 Oxford St.
E. at 2: 20 a.m.
He died later.
Three people, including
PITTER, were taken into custody. The
other two were released, police said last night.
Detectives scoured the lot yesterday as they wrestled with a
skyrocketing number of homicides this year.
Neighbours said they saw a crowd leave the bar about 2: 30 a.m.,
then heard screaming.
"I heard the gunshots and I saw someone go down. I thought it
was firecrackers," said a woman who was standing outside the
Roxbury near a variety store at the time. She did want to give
her name.
"I heard two shots and I ran into the (variety) store."
Police said a dispute outside the bar led to the shooting.
Police and paramedics arrived to find
WILLIAMS seriously hurt
and another man shot in the arm. The second man was treated and
released from hospital.
Police have recovered a handgun and are not looking for any more
weapons, said Det. Andrew
WHITFORD.
It's unclear whether
WILLIAMS, the injured man and the three
people in custody had just left the Roxbury when the shooting
happened, WHITFORD said.
But there were about 40 people in the parking lot when a disagreement
broke out, he said. Police are still probing the cause of the
dispute.
WHITFORD said many witnesses: have come forward and bar staff
have co-operated.
Roxbury staff declined comment yesterday.
Neighbours have complained of fights and loud noise after the
bar's closing time.
"It's scary," said Brenda
PARSONS, who lives in a nearby townhouse
complex. "You don't need television to live in this neighbourhood.
There's enough entertainment outside."
PARSONS said she thinks police should patrol the area more regularly
on Friday and Saturday nights.
The parking lot is the same one in which Ryan
VLAAD, 26, died
after being punched in the head during an early morning brawl
in July 2002.
Ward 3 Coun. Bernie
MacDONALD said he's fielded complaints from
neighbours who have had beer bottles thrown at their houses and
on their property after 2 a.m. and have heard fights breaking
out.
"This has been an ongoing thing with the residents," he said.
The concerns were passed on to police and
MacDONALD thought the
problems had been quelled until he heard about yesterday's shooting.
But MacDONALD said he thinks drugs are the "root evil" behind
violence and shootings in the city this year.
"Until we cut the flow of drugs, we're going to see this and
it's going to continue to rise," he said.
Police said they don't know whether drugs were involved in the
fatal shooting.
Officers blocked off a large section of the strip mall, which
also houses a Sport Mart, Goodwill, variety store, karate school
and Tim Hortons.
A green Jeep and a black car also were taped off, though police
wouldn't say why.
A shell casing and knife were visible at the scene.
A green camouflage hat, grey T-shirt, plastic beer cups, a cigarette
pack and a lighter were strewn near what appeared to be a bloody
stain near the black car.
Forensic detectives picked through the evidence and used a fire
department aerial truck to photograph and videotape the lot.
An autopsy will be conducted today to determine the cause of
death.

I Remember -- Scott
YOUNG
By Gerry FRYER,
Saturday,
June 18, 2005. Page S9
Thornhill, Ontario -- Scott
YOUNG's obituary appeared on June
The passing of Scott
YOUNG this week brought back for me memories
of September, 1964, and the conversion of Toronto's
CJBC into
a French radio station. I came to Toronto at the time to work
as an announcer on the newly converted station.
There was some hostility in the newspapers regarding the conversion,
as CJBC was popular with the English-speaking audience. But we
found an unexpected friend in the most unexpected place: Scott
YOUNG, a columnist for The Globe and Mail who had written several
columns supporting a French
CJBC.
On October 1, 1964, our first day on air in French, we had wanted
to interview Mr.
YOUNG.
When we phoned him for an appointment,
we found out he did not speak French. But we agreed to meet anyway.
We met at his Rosedale home and, for the next two hours, painstakingly,
we put together a good minute and a half of Scott
YOUNG in French.
Word by word, Mr.
YOUNG repeated each word of a prepared French
text several times until he had reached a perfect pronunciation
for each one. Back at
CJBC, it was my job to edit Mr.
YOUNG's
voice. It took me a good three hours of minute splicing of quarter-inch
audiotape. But, at the end, we had Mr.
YOUNG wishing the best
for the new
CJBC in a more than passable French.
This was my first interview with a member of our new Toronto
audience. I could not have had a better introduction to this
city than the one I got with this most civilized and broadminded
Torontonian.
Vive Scott
YOUNG!
Jacques GAUTHIER,
Toronto
On learning of Scott
YOUNG's passing, I was immediately taken
back to the early 1960s in Winnipeg. Then, most schoolboys played
hockey year-round, watched Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday
and read every book that could be found about the greatest team
sport in history and "the world's fastest game."
At the time, many of us still thought we had a legitimate shot
at playing professional hockey, despite the nearly insurmountable
odds against that prospect. Mr.
YOUNG's scintillating trilogy
Scrubs on Skates, Boy on Defence and Boy at the Leafs' Camp
was the cornerstones of most of our rather limited personal
libraries.
I ripped through the pages of Scrubs on Skates so many times
that the book nearly disintegrated. Somehow, Santa knew to put
another copy under the tree that year.
Mr. YOUNG's books were the first works of fiction that ever set
my heart racing while broadening my horizons to consider some
of life's possibilities. For many, it was the closest we ever
got to the training camp of a professional hockey team, and we
can all thank Scott
YOUNG for that opportunity. His power with
the pen could thrill and excite while magically transporting
you to the world of your dreams.
Roy MacGREGOR notes that Canadians now have "no Scott
YOUNG to
connect the national game to the national culture" (This Country
June 15). Fortunately for many of us, he already has and his
legacy will live on for generations to come.
Jeffrey PECKITT,
Oakville,
Ontario
About 45 years ago, during my first (and only) year in Ryerson's
journalism program, I decided -- in my desire to become Canada's
greatest sportswriter -- that I should write about my school's
teams for The Globe and Mail.
Shamelessly invoking the name of an uncle who knew him, I visited
Jim VIPOND, the Sports editor, and suggested that The Globe needed
to cover Ryerson sports -- and that I was just the man to do
it. Without missing a beat, he sent me out of his office to write
a brief autobiography to help him make a decision.
Choosing an empty chair in front of an old manual typewriter,
I almost froze when I noticed that the man pounding away next
to me was Scott
YOUNG, an icon in sports journalism and one of
my heroes. I recall no greeting or sign of acknowledgment from
my neighbour (and I certainly would not have dreamed of interrupting
him); but that brief near-encounter remains one of my fondest
memories.
Despite shaking, clammy hands, a suddenly dry throat and a blank
mind, I managed to bang out something for Mr.
VIPOND. I got the
non-paying "job" and, for a few months, wrote for the same newspaper
as Scott YOUNG at the peak of his career.
Eventually, I met my wife, Gail. She bettered my story: She and
a former boyfriend used to double-date with Scott
YOUNG's son
Neil.
Together, we still feel a certain affinity with the
YOUNGs.
Carl A. CHRISTIE,
Winnipeg
In the late 1950s, my parents purchased the full Encyclopedia
Britannica on my behalf. Being more sports mad at the time than
now, I was delighted to find an article titled Hockey -- A Nation's
Pastime in the 1960 yearbook. The article left an indelible impression
on me, and I have read it many times since.
It was built around a 1-0 game in December, 1959, between the
Maple Leafs and the Canadiens. The author, Scott
YOUNG (at that
time a Globe and Mail columnist), described the atmosphere inside
and outside Maple Leaf Gardens beforehand, including the scalpers
and the standing-room patrons, who at that time were about 15
per cent of the Gardens' ticket holders. Then came "the whole
beauty of the game" - teamwork, body checks, high skills and
reflexes, and the individuality of stars like Doug Harvey, the
Pocket Rocket, Jean Beliveau ("moving with the effortless power
of a big buck deer"), and the only goal scorer, Frank Mahovlich.
Mr. YOUNG's article soared by translating the Canadian passion
for ice hockey into poetry. He wrote, "Throughout the game the
noise of the crowd was a constant series of great Ohs," and,
at game's end, "Here I had seen something to remember -- the
Canadian equivalent of an Italian opera audience, rising as one
to shout 'Bravo.' "
That article is a time capsule of my love for the game, and also
of what the return of great hockey would mean for our country.
Thank you, Scott
YOUNG.
