CROSWELL, Lorna
In loving memory of our dear mother, grandmother, and friend, Lorna CROSWELL, who passed away one year ago, February 15, 2005.
A part of you goes with us
To guide us every day
We have to carry on our lives
Even though you couldnt stay.
We miss your gentle understanding
The caring way you touched our hearts
Then if from out of nowhere
Your jokes and laughter did fill the room
And all our stories start.
We will carry those special times with us
And repeat the stories told
To remind ourselves, and generations after us
How simple living and laughter
Show a truth of you
We are proud to cherish and hold.
So many reasons to be thankful for your life
And the memories you gave
From a cup of tea, your special hug
Or that certain game you loved to play.
Your best friend, Helen, and her Friendship in our lives
Carries for us, your spirit
And keeps you by our side.
I can look at my son Charlie
And see your presence standing there
The same gentle nature, a caring, loving soul
And that sense of humour
No other to compare.
Truly blessed am I, a mother to behold
The person I can only inspire myself to be.
Your last words to meMy heart will hold forever dear.
You said, I'll remember that I love you
And always keep you near.
Please know my love for you Mom
I miss you, and take care
I promise to once again
Catch your smile
Through the glimmer of a tear.
Love, your daughter, Rae
Sadly missed and joyously remembered by Rae, Larry, Debbie and Charlie; Mark, Anita, Christopher, and Rachael; and your best bud, Helen

WILKINSON, Isobel Ellen (née ALTHOUSE)
Peacefully, with loved-ones near, at Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto on September 21, 2006, Isobel Ellen WILKINSON (née ALTHOUSE,) in her 79th year. Beloved wife of John Provost WILKINSON. Beloved mother to: Margaret Ann WILKINSON and husband Richard CROUCH (of London,) Elizabeth Ellen PHIPPS and husband Ken (of Saskatoon,) and John Bertie Althouse WILKINSON and wife Jane STUBBINGTON (of Toronto). She leaves grandchildren whom she loved dearly and of whom she was very proud: Meredith and George CROUCH, Emily and Heather KEVILL, and Connor and Katie WILKINSON. She also leaves her beloved sister-in-law, Ann ROBSON, and her family. Isobel had a long and fulfilled life, founded on her love for family, for Friends, for fun, and for educating herself and others. Isobel was a graduate of St. Clement's School. Her university degrees were from the University of Toronto's Trinity College, Faculty of Education and Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. She retired as Vice-Principal of the Lower School of Havergal College in 1993, where she had taught grade 6 for many years, always enjoyed helping young minds develop, and pioneered the introduction of computers into the classroom. She was always active in Forest Grove United Church where she held numerous positions including Christian education director, chair of the unified board, and Meals on Wheels volunteer. She was also a proud long-time member of the Canadian Federation of University Women-Leaside Club, and its 'Added Dividends' group. Isobel was shaped greatly by her parents whom she loved immensely, the late John George ALTHOUSE, former Director of Education for the Province of Ontario, and Mayme. She often spoke of them and of cherished memories of summers spent on Lake Temagami. Since retirement, John and Isobel fulfilled their goal of traveling to France, Central America, England, and Russia. However, Isobel was always most excited by the opportunity to spend time with John at 'Rudyard', their Muskoka cottage. Rainy days at Rudyard spent with a crossword puzzle, playing a friendly game of Scrabble (aided by her late mother-in-law's dictionary), or teaching George and Meredith to play bridge; and sunny days on a Segwun cruise, encouraging Connor and Katie as they learned to swim, or enjoying her favorite double-ended rowboat. Isobel's family thanks warmly those who assisted her so much throughout her stay at Saint Michael's Hospital's Intensive Care Unit. Friends may pay their respects at the Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Ave. West, Toronto (2 stoplights west of Yonge St.) on Wednesday, September 27th from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. A memorial service will be held at Forest Grove United Church, 43 Forest Grove Drive, Toronto (east of Bayview Ave., south of Finch Ave. E) on Thursday September 28th at 2 p.m. In remembrance, contributions may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, The Lung Association or a charity of one's choice. Messages/ condolences may be sent to: remember-isobel@rogers.com

John BARRY, 74: Wine, women and a hint of danger
Tavern owner was the life of the party
But he also kept a gun under his pillow
By Catherine DUNPHY, Obituary Writer
There are so many stories about John BARRY that you think they all can't be true. And maybe they aren't, but they could be -- and that, in the end, is the whole point of knowing somebody like him.
His life was the stuff of movies -- the slick, finger-snapping movies of the past, where the drinks flowed and the smoke from the ever-present cigarettes rose, Bogey style, in smooth concentric circles from the corner of the mouth. The women were broads, showpieces in tight skirts and tighter angora sweaters; the men sat at their regular tables, doing deals, not all of them legal, as the sax player wailed.
But this was no celluloid romp with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and the rest of the rat-pack reprobates. This was all happening in Toronto, at John Duck's Tavern, an Etobicoke watering hole by the lake since 1866, when ex-British soldier John DUCK opened an inn for stagecoach traffic.
After BARRY bought the place in 1963, it became a clubhouse for men who, like BARRY, preferred to sit with their backs to the wall. Bikers came there; so did off-duty cops. There were days the parking lot was filled with cars bearing Michigan licence plates, belonging to the men in thousand-dollar suits up from Detroit for business meetings in BARRY's upstairs office.
Aulden GELDART was the John Duck bouncer and club manager for 16 years. At 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, he had the bulk and chops to be able to evict a whole posse of Vagabond bikers from the place. But he said he hated that his boss often packed a gun. "John always carried a semi-automatic, always in the back of his belt, and when he went to bed at night it was under his pillow," he said.
For safety, BARRY had underground parking for his Caddy; he also had a pair of dogs -- variously described as Doberman, American bull terrier or Bouvier, but big dogs, at least 150 pounds each, GELDART said -- that cost him $1,200 each. Most remember one called Boomer.
There were always whispers BARRY might have been a made man, a wise guy, even a hit man. GELDART said there were plenty of Toronto cops "after" BARRY, but his ex-boss was too smart for them. Former police chief William McCORMACK was a homicide investigator in those days and he said he'd remember if BARRY were involved in anything illegal. He doesn't, so it's likely BARRY wasn't.
"I always thought that talk was a lot of bulls -- -," said Rory ROBERTSON, who tended bar between 1969 and 1972. "But John knew a lot of people and I used to think some of them were rounders."
The only thing that most of his Friends and customers cared about was that BARRY -- who died November 12 at the age of 74 -- was a charming guy, a fun guy, the ultimate party guy.
He was a regular at Bardi's Steak House downtown. After hours, he and his boys would take over a private room at Gatsby's on Church St. Every night, it was red wine, and rum and Coke. Every night, it was steak, rare, with a side order of mushrooms. Every night, no one else ever got to pick up the cheque. Maybe that's why someone dubbed him "the old guy," but he liked it and the moniker stuck, even though he was only seven years older than ROBERTSON.
With his wife May and three children safely stashed away in Brampton, BARRY lived upstairs at John Duck's, also the scene of many a party.
"It was a typical bachelor pad," said his daughter Shandra BARRY. "Black leather. Red carpet. Party Central. It was his private club. The joke was that if the apartment door was locked, you don't knock, you don't interrupt the party going on inside."
Women loved him -- not just because he was movie-star handsome and charming and had that glint in his eye, but also because he was a lover who listened as if they were the only person in the world.
The man was charismatic, a great host who transformed the Humber House -- the name of the tavern when BARRY bought it -- into a modern-day legend, the watering hole of celebrities, including CFRB's long-time morning man, Wally CROUTER, country musician Gordie Tapp and the star athletes of the day. The Argos were regulars; so was coach Leo Cahill and three Miami Dolphins players he lured north to a new football league he tried to start, a couple of boxing champs and some Leafs.
The place was known for its Saturday jazz. "If you weren't inside by noon, you couldn't get a seat," ROBERTSON said. The late and hard-living Toronto Sun columnist, Paul RIMSTEAD, often sat at the drums; Diamond Lil from the Skyline Hotel would belt out the songs.
One day ROBERTSON noticed three guys coming in the door who turned out to be members of The Drifters, of Under the Boardwalk fame, and they did a turn at the mike.
"I don't know how much John knew about music, but he liked the way we talked, acted and the atmosphere we created. He liked fun. He wanted to be around, laughing and scratching, baby," said Bruce JAMES, who used to play the sax on those Saturday afternoons.
BARRY was born into one of the leading families of Sudbury; his father was in real estate and politics, made and lost three fortunes and died a very wealthy man, according to Jonquil FURSE, BARRY's sister. When BARRY was about 10 years old, he decided he didn't like attending Scollard Hall, a private school in North Bay, so he hired a taxi to take him home to Sudbury. His father paid the bill.
"John was very electric," FURSE said. "He was a chameleon, into everything, then off."
He was also her favourite brother, who took her fiancé, George FURSE, aside the day they were to be married in a very haute Westmount ceremony and told the astonished groom that if he ever laid a hand on his favourite baby sister, he'd "bust me up bad."
"He was very Runyonesque," George FURSE said, recalling how BARRY then pulled out a massive roll of money -- "I'd never seen that before except in the movies" -- and counted out four $100 bills from the top. "This oughta help you on the honeymoon," he barked.
"He was playing the part," his sister insisted.
After short stints in Sudbury as a miner and owner-operator of a gas station, BARRY hit the States, where his family believes he worked as a boxing promoter and a front man booking gigs for black singers and groups.
Later he owned a Mimico film studio, a limousine company and the company that booked all of the big acts into the Canadian National Exhibition's Grandstand shows.
His daughter Shandra said she remembers being driven in one of her father's limos to meet The Monkees backstage; other acts he brought to Toronto included Sonny and Cher, Red Skelton, Bob Hope, The Jackson Five, The Osmonds and Johnny Cash.
BARRY never stopped making deals. For awhile he owned a gold mine in British Columbia and a company called Iomech Ltd., and held patents for various water purification systems. Every Sunday, when he would drive to Brampton to see his family, he'd take them out for a drive to look at the latest country estate or property he was going to move them to.
"My mother just laughed. Every week it was a new place, a new deal," Shandra said. "He was the wildest ride in the amusement park."
All three children came to work at John Duck's after their mother died in 1979, and Shandra and her brother Jon were there March 5, 1988, when the party ended and BARRY closed the doors for the last time.
"He had it for 25 years; it was a huge part of his life," she said. "It was like a death in the family."
BARRY subsequently lived in several lofts around town, cutting out smoking and cutting down his drinking in later years, but he was diagnosed with esophagal cancer about a year ago. He didn't want people to know he was sick, and when he was hospitalized he didn't want people to visit him. Many did anyway.
His family is erecting a gravestone with the words "The Old Guy" and his favourite saying: "When I was here, I was here."
