Peacefully, at La Farm in Duncan, Ontario and surrounded by his
loving family and Friends, both at home and abroad, both with
us and in heaven, our amazing husband, dad, guardian angel, grand-dad,
uncle, cherished friend and valued colleague, passed graciously
into a space filled with beauty, light, energy and peace for
safekeeping, until we are all reunited. He leaves his adoring
wife, Sally
LEPPARD, partner of 18 years. By his side, throughout
his 4 year battle with cancer, and for always, are his treasured
and adored children - Emma (and Brian), Steve (and Kerry), Kate
(and Kris,) Liz
NIELD (née
McHARDY, and Jim,) Louise (and Chris,)
Jamie McHARDY, and his precious and beloved granddaughter, Sarah

John and Jocey
LEPPARD, and all of our children's dearest Friends

strength of character will be sadly missed by his many great
Friends. Throughout his last few weeks, you have helped us enormously
with snow plowing, dishwashing, great food and wine, books, fine
company, paintings, fun and laughter, and gifts of love and kindness
too numerous to mention. Dick had a career full of achievements
and 'firsts'. After emigrating from Derby, England as a Civil
Engineer in 1969, he worked with Kilbourn Engineering until 1984
when he founded the Ontario-based R. Cave and Associates Engineering
Inc. There he nurtured a tradition of creative, pragmatic and
holistic engineering solutions to Canada's waste management and
ecological problems. He finished his career with Trow Consulting
in Brampton. Our family's grateful thanks go to those who cared
for Dick in his last stage of life - the Collingwood General
& Marine Hospital, the Owen Sound Community Care Access Centre
home care team and nurses Lorraine, Royanne, Sue and Laurie,
and "spa lady" Sharon, Dr. and Mrs. Tony
ROWLINSON,
Joyce
STRAITON,
Dr. Jennifer
KNOX and Bettina of Princess Margaret Hospital,
and Dr. Marwan
FAKIH of Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Your safety
net was invaluable and gave us enormous hope over the last year
and kindness and caring in the last few weeks. Dick is in our
hearts, spirits, souls and minds, and his huge presence will
be forever with us. "the candle burned out long before the legend
ever did" -- E.J.A. memorial to Dick will be held at Bethany
Church of the Nazarene, Trowbridge Street West in Meaford, Ontario

Doctor remembered for putting others first
Former Lion's head physician at some 1,500 births
By Jim ALGIE,
Sun
Times
Staff,
Page A1
Her colleagues knew her as a cheerful, conscientious physician.
Her children knew her for a dedication to her profession that
carried through more than 40 years of family practice on the
Bruce Peninsula and often interrupted her personal and family
life. Her patients just knew her as Doctor Norma.
Dr. Norma HOPKINSON, 82, died suddenly Thursday at the Grey Bruce
Health Services hospital in Owen Sound.
A memorial service was to he held at 2 p.m. today at Central
United Church in Lion's Head.
Although Doctor
HOPKINSON had moved in recent years to Owen Sound,
Lion's head is the place where both she and her husband, the
late Doctor Mervyn
HOPKINSON, worked together for years. They were
instrumental in the construction in the late 1950s of a community
hospital in the village which served as a health-care base for
people living on the peninsula.
Dr. HOPKINSON, the presiding physician at more than 1,500 births,
was well known throughout the region. Even on the day she died,
daughter Joan
IRVINE met three health-care workers in the hospital
emergency department who were former colleagues or patients,
including one delivered by Doctor
HOPKINSON.
"She lived for other people, I would say,"
IRVINE said in an
interview. "I walked in the night she died into the emergency
room and all the people there had been touched by her. She lived
for other people, to help other people."
When she retired in 1991, Doctor
HOPKINSON told Sun Times reporter
Pam HEAVEN she was one of only three women in the University
of Western Ontario's 1946 graduating class.
Back then there was a quota that allowed only 10 per cent of
medical students to be female.
Following internships at Saint Michael's and Women's College hospitals
in Toronto, she began in practice in the Orillia area where she
met her future husband. They moved together to Lion's head in
1951 and stayed.
For several years afterward, the
HOPKINSONs were the only doctors
on the Bruce Peninsula.
A retired colleague, Doctor Jim
LEESON of Wiarton, knew Norma
HOPKINSON
as a fellow student at University of Western Ontario.
"She always seemed to be a cheerful, conscientious physician
who kept up to date,"
LEESON said in an interview from his Sauble
Beach home.
Dr. HOPKINSON was in a wheelchair during their last meeting,
a dinner out in Owen Sound, but was alert and in reasonably good
health otherwise,
LEESON said.
Because the Bruce Peninsula is a habitat for poisonous Massassauga
rattlesnakes, part of the
HOPKINSON medical practice involved
the treatment of snake bites.
IRVINE recalls their back yard
became a depository for live snakes to be used as sources of
venom for used in snakebite serum.
"People brought them in, they'd get $5 (per snake)… and my cousin,
John, would collect the box and fly it down" to serum producers
in Toronto.
Both her parents were coroners and
IRVINE recalls them studying
materials on unusual causes of death.
"It was an unusual upbringing, I'll tell you that,"
IRVINE said.
Dr. HOPKINSON moved from Lion's head to Owen Sound to be closer
to family. In Owen Sound, she was an active member of the University
Women's Club and a recently formed Unitarian Church group.
Dr. HOPKINSON was also a lifelong music lover and pianist who
faithfully attended concerts of the Georgian Bay Symphony. She
was a passionate amateur photographer, dabbled in watercolour
painting and loved exploring nature. She donated her body to
the University of Western Ontario for medical research.
She maintained an active interest in politics and international
affairs.
"She read two or three newspapers every day,"
IRVINE said. "Towards
the end, the main thing was that she get her newspapers.
Born and raised in Hensall, Ontario, Dr.;
HOPKINSON was among
four children of Elizabeth
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON and Norman
COOK.
She is survived
by three children and five grandchildren. She was the mother
of Joan IRVINE of Big Bay, Mary
HOPKINSON of Owen Sound and Bruce
HOPKINSON of Lansdowne. She is also survived by a sister, Eleanor
CORLETT of Shelburne and two brothers, Doug
COOK of Hensell and
Bob COOK of Grand Bend.

Trying to reconcile a man's life and death
Friends are wondering how a college student from a good family
ended up shot dead by police, writes Anthony
REINHART
By Anthony
REINHART,
Page
A11
Toronto -- Until a couple of weeks ago, anyone who knew the real
Shelton McKENZIE would have expected to find him out clubbing
last night, toasting his 21st birthday on some Toronto dance
floor in smooth urban attire and a fresh pair of Jordans.
Instead, his Friends dressed for a visitation yesterday at a
funeral home in his hometown of Ajax, east of Toronto, to file
past Mr. McKENZIE's coffin and wonder whether they really knew
him at all.
Specifically, they've been wondering how Mr.
McKENZIE -- who
came from a middle-class suburban family, who worked as a produce
clerk through high school, who had young women lining up for
his ever-respectful attention, and who took police courses in
college just last fall -- wound up shot dead by police this month.
It happened just before dawn on Thursday, April 13, near an upscale
home in the Thornhill community north of Toronto, where the
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON
family had just endured a home invasion robbery.
York
Regional
Police arrived as Mr.
McKENZIE and another person
fled in the
THOMPSONs' pickup truck. Officers opened fire on
the truck, killing Mr.
McKENZIE.
The second man ran off and holed
up in another home and was arrested within hours.
Ontario's Special Investigations Unit, which probes deaths and
injuries related to police, is still examining the killing of
Mr. McKENZIE.
But York police have linked the two men to five home invasions
in and around Toronto since late February, including the gunpoint
robbery of Sherry
COOPER, chief economist at
BMO
Nesbitt
Burns,
and her husband, Peter.
As she squinted through the murk of predawn to find two masked
men standing in her bedroom, Ms.
COOPER felt surprised, bewildered
and terrified on the morning of March 13.
Police say Mr.
McKENZIE was one of the two mud-splattered men
standing before her and her husband. The pair had broken into
the COOPERs' ravine-side home in Hogg's Hollow, an exclusive
enclave in North Toronto.
They bound the couple with duct tape, ransacked the house and
fled with cash, jewellery, computers and BlackBerrys.
Their masks, and the shock that gripped the
COOPERs, made them
all but impossible to identify.
"We refer to the 'old guy' and the 'young guy' when we speak
to each other, or the 'big guy,' Ms.
COOPER told The Globe
and Mail, "and we're not even sure we're referring to the same
people."
Ms. COOPER, 55, was also caught without her glasses or contact
lenses. "I'm not blind without my glasses, but it was pleasingly
fuzzy, believe me. I didn't particularly want to be 100-per-cent
conscious."
She was conscious enough, however, to talk her way to some relief
after one of the men, armed with a gun, pinned her to the bed.
"He said he wanted jewellery and I said, 'Let me show you… where
it is,' Ms.
COOPER said. "So, fortunately, that got us to stand
up and walk in there" to where her valuables were stored.
The couple were led downstairs and taped to a pillar. One man
stood guard, pointing a gun at them, the other combed the house,
selecting items to fill his backpack and tossing others to the
floor.
Asked whether either man seemed like a novice, or a junior partner,
Ms. COOPER had this to say about the one who stood guard: "Until
the very end I would have thought that he was more nervous, and
that he wasn't as aggressive, he wasn't a leader," she said.
"However, at the end, I managed to get myself out of the tape,
and it was that stand-guard guy that saw me. And then he grabbed
me and, you know, pulled me up the steps and told me, now he's
going to have to hurt me, now he's going to have to shoot me,
and he threw me down on the floor and said he was going to have
to shoot me.
"And it was the other one who said, 'Take her back downstairs.'
So they just retaped us."
"There wasn't, like, a good cop and a bad cop; there wasn't a
leader and a follower," she said. "They were brutal. They clearly
hated us, just [because of] what we had."
But for the people who knew or encountered Shelton
McKENZIE,
nothing is very clear. No one -- from coaches and former co-workers
to Friends and the police themselves -- has been able to reconcile
the way he lived with the way he died.
"I really don't know how or why he became involved," Detective
Sergeant Fred
MOFFATT of York's holdup squad said, adding that
police have seen more young people from trouble-free backgrounds
jumping "right into doing robberies."
Sometimes the goal is to win acceptance from a gang. Others are
dragged in by underworld creditors, such as drug dealers.
"I don't know if that's the case here, so I would never say that,"
Det. Sgt. MOFFATT said. "We're still investigating and still
trying to figure out exactly where he comes from. But yeah, it's
a mystery."
Mr. McKENZIE's parents, who have requested privacy from reporters,
are "just blown away" by what happened, said Lance
BROWN, their
pastor at Refuge City Pentecostal Church in Ajax. "I knew Shelton.
He was a great kid," Mr.
BROWN said.
At the No Frills on Kingston Road in Pickering, Tony
CORNACCHIA
recalled how Mr.
McKENZIE "always asked for as many hours as
I could give him" in the produce department, where he was the
most experienced part-timer, until he left the job a year ago.
"I left him in charge quite a few times, on evenings and weekends."
Mr. CORNACCHIA remembered driving the young man home to his parents'
relatively new house in west Ajax, where he lived with an older
brother, a younger brother and a sister. He described the family
as hard-working and strict, particularly the mother, who insisted
that her son help pay his own way.
"It seemed like they were a very disciplined family," he said,
and when he heard the news of Mr.
McKENZIE's death, "I was surprised
just like everyone else."
Ms. COOPER had trouble squaring the wholesome image of Mr.
McKENZIE
with the man who caused her to feel such terror that morning,
a terror that she said has changed her life forever.
"It is inconceivable to me that some normal, 20-year-old, good
kid finds himself just accidentally in this kind of situation,"
she said. "I have a son who's not much older than that and, honestly,
I just can't even fathom how you get yourself in that situation
unless you've been… involved with some real bad people for a
while."
If that's the case, Shelton
McKENZIE kept his secret life well
hidden.
At J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate, where he graduated in 2004,
basketball coaches Steve
DAWSON and Mike
McFETTERS stood in the
gym last week, puzzled.
"Whatever happened, we didn't see it coming," said Mr.
DAWSON,
a middle-aged man who traded easy, good-natured jibes with the
popular all-star nicknamed Springz for his jumping prowess.
Mr. McFETTERS said his star rebounder avoided situations that
looked like trouble and could take a beating on the court without
losing his cool.
"He wasn't a violent kid," he said, but acknowledged he'd seen
Mr. McKENZIE just three times, for a total of about 20 minutes,
in the two years since he left Richardson. The last time was
just before Christmas, when the young man dropped by the school
after his first semester in the police foundations program at
Durham College in Oshawa.
Mr. McFETTERS said Mr.
McKENZIE was conflicted over whether to
continue his studies, citing the cost and the commute as challenges.
"If he wasn't sure what he wanted to do, he didn't want to go
[back to college] until he could figure things out," the coach
said.
With that, he asked Mr.
McFETTERS about his wife and daughter,
and congratulated him on the impending birth of a second child.
With his death, "there's just questions that I don't know if
we're ever going to get the answers to now," the coach said.
Similar questions are circulating among Mr.
McKENZIE's
Friends,
236 of whom are linked to his profile on hi5.com, a Web gathering
place. Since his death, many have posted photos and comments,
written in the vernacular of on-line chat.
"i cant begin 2 understand y USA did wat USA did," wrote one. 'it
wasnt ur thing… it wasnt like u. buh im not tryna hold nothing
on u. Ire gota 4give u… even tho now ur gone 4ever."
Several young women claimed Mr.
McKENZIE as their dream man,
and gave accounts of long telephone conversations, nights out
dancing, tender moments and hopes for a future together.
In an interview this week, Jennifer
VIEIRA, 19, said Mr.
McKENZIE's
attractiveness was no mystery when she met him after the 2004
Caribana parade in downtown Toronto. He was not only well-dressed,
but also a gentleman.
"He said, 'I'll call you in a couple of hours,' and he actually
called me back later," she said. "He was coming off real. He
wasn't being fake at all."
What was real and what was fake is sure to cross the minds of
many at Mr.
McKENZIE's funeral this morning, inside the Revivaltime
Tabernacle in Pickering.
But inside the church and out, it seems, God only knows.
