McGOWN,
Dr.
Kirby
Lee
After a fierce battle with cancer "Lee" died peacefully in the
arms of his loving wife, Marilyn, at his home in the beautiful
Blueridge Mountains of Virginia, on January 31st, 2005. Born
in Clarksvillle, Tennessee November 19th, 1943 and raised in
Beaumont, Texas, Lee served in the United States Marine Corps.
After his honorable discharge from the corps, Lee went on to
earn his doctorate degree in business, and subsequently moved
to Montreal, taking on the position of Professor of Marketing
at Concordia University. In 2001, Lee retired and wanting to
once again get south of the Mason-Dixon Line, returned to the
United States to take up residency in the state of Virginia,
home of his greatest hero General Robert E. Lee.
Lee was a serious history buff, a lover of the great outdoors,
an avid traveller, and enjoyed life to the fullest. He will be
dearly missed by his wife
Marilyn
McGOWN of Nellysford, Virginia,
daughter Hilary
McGOWN of Toronto, Ontario, sister Kathleen
PHELAN
of Fort Myers Beach, Florida, nephews Grant
PHELAN of Naples,
Florida and Adam
PHELAN of Atlanta, Georgia.
True to his wishes, following a simple family graveside ceremony,
Lee will be laid to rest at the McGown family cemetery in San
Augustine, Texas on February 4th -- "home at last".
Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, www.cancer.ca or 1-888-939-3333
would greatly honor his memory and hopefully be of benefit to
others facing cancer.

It is with sadness that the family announces the death, after
a long and fulfilling life, of Claude

Claude was born in Toronto on October 19, 1924, and grew up on
Centre Island. He served overseas in the Royal Canadian Air Force
as a navigator after attending St. Michael's College and graduating
from the University of Toronto. His career as a petroleum exploration
geologist took him around the world. After starting out with
Shell Oil in Calgary and Regina, he transferred to Chevron of
California and the family lived in Trinidad, Bolivia, Florida,
Colombia, California, and Libya. Claude then worked with the
World Bank in Ethiopia and Switzerland, finally retiring in West
Vancouver.
His thirst for knowledge and his love of life and family will
not be forgotten. A private family ceremony was held and his
ashes scattered at sea.
The family wishes to thank the Palliative Care team at Lions

Mechanical engineer, inventor, pipe organist, husband, father,
grandfather. Born June 3, 1924, in Brantford, Ontario Died March
22 in Burlington, Ontario, of complications from Alzheimer's
disease, aged 80.
Rev. Don PARSONS glanced up in the middle of his graveside prayer.
A four-engined, Second World War-vintage bomber droned loudly
overhead. He paused.
"It's not everyone who gets a fly-past," he said quietly.
Indeed not. And although Ted would have preferred to hear a steam
locomotive whistle as it chuffed along the tracks below the old
Hamilton Cemetery on August 20, the heavy Lancaster would certainly
do.
Something old, something mechanical, something big and solid.
These were all qualities Ted appreciated.
A graduate of Brantford Collegiate Institute and the University
of Toronto (where he joined the student air corps during the
latter part of the war,) Ted was the only child of George
SWEET
and Muriel
PHELPS. He began his own family in Brantford when
he married Peggy
DOWIE, a teacher who hailed from Grimsby, Ontario,
in 1952. As chief engineer at the old Brantford Coach and Body
truck-building firm, Ted was instrumental in the design and development
of the upside-down pyramid style of sand spreader that is now
a ubiquitous winter sight across the colder parts of North America.
After the company was sold in the early 1960s, he moved, with
his wife and two children, Doug and Marnie, to Fergus, Ontario,
where he worked for Beatty Bros., the large agricultural implement
and appliance manufacturer. Tempted by the chance to participate
in some pure engineering research, he moved in 1963 to Kingston,
Ontario, to join a small team affiliated with Queen's University
dedicated to the development of a "free-piston" engine. The loss
of a grant for the project prompted yet another family move,
this time to Ottawa, where Ted joined the Department of Industry,
Trade and Commerce. Here, he helped design the massive Centennial
caravan trucks that criss-crossed Canada in 1967.
But government wasn't Ted's cup of tea. He moved to Peterborough,
Ontario, in 1966, where he joined De Laval, a division of the
massive Swedish Alfa Laval company. Here, Ted worked in both
engineering and sales capacities. After a move in the mid-1970s
to the Oakville-Burlington area, a variety of other sales and
engineering jobs followed. But by the mid-1980s, the early symptoms
of the inexorable disease that would ultimately claim him began
to make their presence felt and Ted retired to enjoy a bit of
travel, some cycling and playing bridge for as long as he could.
An accomplished pianist and pipe organist, who filled in for
vacationing organists at United Churches in Fergus and Peterborough,
Ted adored the mathematical precision of Bach. Here, his ingenuity
found another application. Unable to install a full pipe organ
at home, he managed to rig an ancient pedal board to an old-fashioned
pump-organ and employed a vintage Electrolux vacuum cleaner for
suction. His dream of adding a second keyboard was, alas, unfulfilled.
Other inventions included an ingenious one-piece screwdriver
built in such a way as to let you apply tremendous torque to
a recalcitrant screw. Enough torque to break the screw, he discovered
more than once. But the screwdriver, like everything else he
built, was solid. It was later marketed as the Dura Drive.
We buried his ashes in an old family plot, next to his great-grandfather,
Edmund Edmonds
SWEET, a Methodist minister born in England in
1812. The old grey granite stone had stood for more than 120
years before being buffed and engraved once again. Solid as ever.
Doug SWEET is Ted's son.

Ottawa fire kills 5 in family
3 rescued from blaze in flat over grocery store
Man, son-in-law and grand_son in critical condition
By Andrew MILLS,
Staff
Reporter
Ottawa -- As fire ripped through his family's apartment over
their grocery store, Macara
THACH was able to rescue his grand_son
before turning back into the blaze to try to save more of his
family.
But the flames had grown and they seared
THACH's hair, hands
and face, and he was forced to retreat.
Minutes later, firefighters arrived; they were able to save only
one of THACH's six other family members, his son-in-law, Bunny
Svay, 25. Five died at the scene.
They were identified by Friends and neighbours as
THACH's wife,
Kol Yan THACH, their daughter Lily, 23, and their sons Gary,
14, Danny, 13, and Sunny, 12.
Police have not yet confirmed the names.
THACH, his son-in-law and grand_son, Sy
PHENG, thought to be about
14 months, all were in the hospital yesterday in critical condition.
Firefighters do not know what caused the blaze that ripped through
the Mekong Grocery and upstairs three-bedroom flat, but are calling
it Ottawa's worst fire in memory.
Crews attacked the fire from both ends of the two-storey building
in Ottawa's Chinatown district. One crew ventured up the front
stairs twice, removing three victims.
"At the same time, the crews went in through the back and encountered
a victim, said deputy chief Jim
ULLETT. "
The crews went back
in...
"They found one, brought that occupant out, went back in and
fought the fire for approximately three or four minutes, found
the sixth victim and brought that victim out."
The victims were pronounced dead at the scene, said paramedics
chief Anthony DI
MONTE.
A family friend, Sao
THOK, said the family had been in Canada
about 20 years. Only their daughter, Lily, was born abroad, when
THACH and his wife were living in a refugee camp on the Thai-Cambodian
border.
The young couple had joined many other Cambodians who fled fighting
between the Khmer Rouge and Vietnamese troops. For years, they
shuffled from refugee camp to refugee camp, waiting to be admitted
to another country, Sao
THOK said.
Eventually the family made it to Canada and for the past few
years their livelihood has depended on the Mekong Grocery, an
Asian convenience store named after the river that snakes through
their homeland. The shop was a mom-and-pop business, customers
said, where all family members were expected to pitch in.
Three weeks ago, Lily's husband, a man she had married in Cambodia
a few years ago, arrived in Canada for the first time, neighbours
said yesterday.
There was a party to mark his arrival and some of this city's
1,500 or so Cambodians attended.
When the fire broke out sometime before 1: 40 a.m. yesterday,
there were eight people living in the tiny apartment above the
Mekong Grocery.
Everyone would have been in bed: the three boys in their bunk
beds in the living room, Lily, her husband and the toddler, in
the cramped back bedroom and Macara and Kol
YAN, both in their
mid-50s, each in their tiny rooms in the front, said Guerin
GARVEY,
13, a friend of the boys.
The fire probably started in one of the front bedrooms, said
Trevor BAIN of the Ontario Fire Marshall's Office.
That office and the Ottawa police arson squad are investigating
the blaze.
