We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name,
We have so many memories,
And your picture in a frame,
Our hearts still ache in sadness,
In silence our tears still flow,
For what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

Brian leaves his beloved wife, Mary Ann POULOS, and her parents, Vasiliki and Tasso POULOS. He also leaves his dearest Friends Denise HALSEY, Thomas SAMS, Leslie BERNARD, and James NOLAN. Brian devoted his last 4 years to the task of helping others. He developed a new and innovative G.E.D. program to help people complete their high school education, so often a barrier to a better life for the people we serve. But Brian's true legacy will live on in Scarborough Centre for Addiction Recovery and Employment Services - which he co-created with his wife to provide a safe haven, counselling, support and training to people dealing with life's challenges. It is Brian's strongest and final wish that his work through Centre for Addiction Recovery and Employment Services continues. Friends may call at the Jerrett Funeral Home, 660 Kennedy Road, Scarborough (between Eglinton and St. Clair Aves. E.) on Sunday from 12 noon until 2 p.m. A complete funeral service will be held in the chapel at 2 p.m. followed by cremation. Brian has left us with a job to do.

Taps for Alfred
A beloved old soldier dies, leaving mysteries about his past unsolved, Peter CHENEY writes
By Peter CHENEY, Page M3
To some, Alfred FINLEY was a tragic icon of the Second World War, a man who had risked his life for his country only to end his days in grinding poverty, living in a Toronto garage with no running water.
Central Casting could not have found a more poignantly photogenic symbol of war than Mr. FINLEY, with his dignified face and rheumy blue eyes -- when Remembrance Day rolled around, he was photographed and filmed again and again in his Black Watch uniform, tears running down his cheeks as he recalled past battles and fallen Friends.
But to others, he was a fraud, with a military history that didn't add up and a uniform that looked like it had been pieced together as a costume by a man who wanted the limelight.
After The Globe and Mail featured him in a story two years ago, recounting an amazing military history including battles at Anzio and Tobruk and wading ashore on D-Day, veterans suggested that Mr. FINLEY was not all that he claimed to be -- the Black Watch regiment, they pointed out, didn't participate in many of the battles that Mr. FINLEY recounted. Others said his medals and insignia were not consistent. A Black Watch Association member said he could not have done all the things he said he did -- or seemed to believe that he had.
But confronted by the discrepancies, Mr. FINLEY stood by his version: "That's how I remember it," he said.
This week, the final chapter in Mr. FINLEY's strangely compelling story played out in a Brampton cemetery when he was lowered into the earth in a simple wooden casket, dressed in his disputed uniform and surrounded by people who loved him, whether his story was real or invented -- or a combination of both.
"He wasn't just a soldier to me," said Barbara HALE- FRENSCH, a teacher who befriended Mr. FINLEY more than a decade ago and considered him the "adopted grandfather" to her children. "He was a wonderful old man with a kind heart who gave away everything he had to others."
By the time of his death at the age of 86, due to complications from cancer, Mr. FINLEY had become a local character in Toronto's High Park neighbourhood, where he spent his days drinking coffee in the local McDonald's, talking to residents and cruising in his electric scooter. (He lost one of his legs due to infection after the war.)
As the 2004 Globe story recounted, he lived in abject poverty, paying $600 of his $1,000 veteran's pension to landlord Maryann SCHENBRI, who rented him space in her garage.
He was a fixture at veterans' events, rigging himself up in his Black Watch uniform and medals for the Canadian National Exhibition Warriors' Day Parade every August, and for Remembrance Day ceremonies at Old City Hall in November. He appeared in newspapers and television newscasts more than half a dozen times. "An Old Vet Remembers," one headline read.
In 1996, a photograph of Mr. FINLEY was nominated for a National Newspaper Award. His face still appears on a National Defence website.
Mr. FINLEY's passing has not made his record available -- Department of National Defence spokesmen said military records remain sealed for 20 years after death, although military officials have confirmed that an Alfred FINLEY served overseas during the Second World War.
But those who knew him best say that questions about his record should not define him.
"People knew that at least part of the story was made up," says Sherry LOW/LOWE/LOUGH- BERNIE, a High Park Pilates instructor who saw Mr. FINLEY almost every day since 2004. "People kept saying that he wasn't for real. I said, Who cares? He volunteered for his country, and he wasn't hurting anyone. It really isn't about the details of his military record. It's about an old soldier who lived in a garage without running water. Nobody should have to live the way he did."
Ms. HALE- FRENSCH, who delivered the eulogy at Mr. FINLEY's funeral, wept as she recalled how the old soldier would come to Runnymede School every morning to listen to her band rehearse, and run errands for her on his scooter. "What's important is that he loved people, and that people loved him," she said. "It's not about the details of what he really did."
Even so, many noticed that Mr. FINLEY's war stories grew and shifted over the years, often accumulating pathos and detail. He told one friend about going ashore at Normandy, but later said that he had been in Berlin on the same date. He told Ms. HALE- FRENSCH about a dramatic rescue in North Africa, where he pulled five British soldiers out of a tank that had been hit by German fire just moments before it exploded. Soon after, he told her, he had been summoned by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, who had awarded him a medal.
Gail CATNEY, an executive assistant who met Mr. FINLEY on the streets of High Park in the early 1990s, said she had been struck by his generosity. Though he was poor, he refused handouts, and often brought gifts for her, she said, recalling the time he brought her a Delft vase. "My heart went out to him," she said. "He was alone, and he had nothing."
Ms. CATNEY was one of a handful of mourners who attended Mr. FINLEY's burial this week. He never married, and had no close family in Toronto. His service was paid for by the Last Post fund, which is funded by Veterans Affairs and private donations.
Mr. FINLEY was dressed in his Black Watch uniform and cap, and a piper played Amazing Grace as his flag-draped casket was lifted by the pallbearers. The military was represented by Master Corporal Victoria LOGAN- WHITE/WHYTE, a young cadet with the 75th Toronto Scottish Regiment who had often accompanied Mr. FINLEY to veterans' events. "I knew him my whole life," she said.
Ms. CATNEY cried as she placed a red plastic poppy on Mr. FINLEY's casket before it was lowered into the grave. "Goodbye, Alfred," she said. "We love you."
Another friend of Mr. FINLEY's listened to the eulogy, then noted sadly that his possessions were sitting out on the street less than 24 hours after his death. "His mattress was at the curb, and everything he owned was in five garbage bags," she said.
Ms. SCHENBRI, his landlady, wouldn't talk about her former tenant this week, but once said that she saw nothing wrong with his living arrangements, despite the lack of plumbing and the fact that he had no privacy, since she walked through his room to get to her car.
"Please," she said. "He's like my father."
Ms. SCHENBRI did not attend Mr. FINLEY's funeral this week.

'Horrific scene'
Officers say a collision that killed three people on the 401 was one of the worst they'd ever seen.
By John HERBERT, Free Press Reporter, Sat., September 23, 2006
Two veteran police officers say a crash on Highway 401 east of Woodstock that killed three people on Thursday night was one of the worst they have ever seen.
"It certainly was a horrific scene," said Const. Dennis HARWOOD, a 32-year member of the Ontario Provincial Police.
Sgt. Dave REKTOR said the collision involving three transport trucks, a sport utility vehicle and a car ranks as one of the worst he's seen because of the three deaths and the severity of damage to the vehicles.
"Whenever you see vehicles torn apart like last night, it causes you to take a step back and ponder about the severity of these types of crashes," he said yesterday.
The crash at about 10 p.m. in the eastbound lanes four kilometres east of the Drumbo exit reduced the sport utility vehicle to a "crumpled ball of metal," REKTOR said.
Ontario Provincial Police identified the dead as:
• Lawrence Richard BYRNE, 28, of R.R.#2, Belle River, the sport utility vehicle driver.
• Nachtar Singh CHOHAN, 42, of Quebec, one of the truck drivers.
• Bruno MAMBELLA, 45, of Kitchener, the car driver.
sport utility vehicle passenger Laura Marie CAMPBELL, 25, of Chatham, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Truck drivers Gary BERENOSE, 63, of Dundas, and Marc BERNIER, 42, of Quebec, were involved in the pileup, but unhurt, police said.
Police closed the stretch of Highway 401 until about 10 a.m. yesterday.
The carnage HARWOOD and other police and emergency personal witnessed was difficult to stomach, he said. "There was a very, very sombre mood among police and emergency people."
HARWOOD would not speculate on whether there would be charges or on the cause of the crash, adding that would be determined by the Ontario Provincial Police highway enforcement action team.
Investigators were continuing to evaluate the evidence gathered from the crash scene and had not determined a cause, he said.
The crash occurred in a construction zone, HARWOOD said.
Will ROE and Sirous HOUSHMAND were among the first people to arrive on the scene.
"We went up to help, but there wasn't much we could do," said ROE, who was heading to Guelph.
He said the passenger in the sport utility vehicle was waving her hand for help.
"The lady was alive and talking," he said.
The two men approached the car involved in the crash and found the driver unconscious. He was travelling alone, police said.
"We tried talking to him," said HOUSHMAND.
Plattsville, Drumbo and Princeton fire departments responded to the crash along with Ontario Provincial Police from Brant, Oxford and Cambridge detachments.
