Killed 'over nothing'
Single father, 40, dies of gunshot wounds in a Saint Thomas pub
Saint Thomas -- One minute yesterday morning, Robert
THORPE
Jr.
was sitting in a downtown bar here with an acquaintance.
The next, he was dead of gunshot wounds and the man suspected
in his shooting was himself shot by police.
"It (the shooting) was over nothing," a grieving Carol
THORPE
said of the fatal shooting of her 40-year-old son, Robert, in
the Manx Arms Restaurant and Pub on Talbot Street, a lunchtime
hangout for the city's downtown business crowd.
Carol THORPE said her son, a single dad who lived for his nine-year-old
daughter, Hailey, was shot "six or seven times."
THORPE's shooting was the first homicide in Saint Thomas in 13
years.
Saint
Thomas police said yesterday
THORPE was shot just before
1 a.m. He was taken to hospital, where he died.
A man police say is a suspect, Nelson
MERRIT, 33, of 348 Wellington
Street, was shot and wounded minutes later by two Saint Thomas police
officers in a nearby parking lot. The province's Special Investigations
Unit is investigating
MERRIT's shooting, while Saint Thomas police
are in charge of the homicide probe.
Rose BLISS of Special Investigations Unit said two officers fired
at MERRIT, who was taken to hospital in London with non-life-
threatening injuries.
He has not been charged.
BLISS said last night
MERRIT would be turned over to Saint Thomas
police when released from hospital.
BLISS would not say how many
shots were fired by police or if the suspect exchanged gunfire
with the officers. She also would not say if a weapon was found.
THORPE was described by his mother as a "brilliant kid."
Carol THORPE said her son was a tool-and-die maker at the Timken
plant in Saint Thomas, where he had worked for more than 20 years.
She said he also had a boat in Port Stanley and loved fishing
with his daughter. She said her son was divorced and had custody
of his daughter, who now is staying with her other grandparents.
"He spent many, many hours with his daughter," Carol
THORPE said.
"He was her world and she was his life. He did so many things
with her. He built her a go-kart. You name it and she had it."
THORPE said her son was a handyman and had gutted and fixed up
old homes in Saint Thomas, one of which he lived in.
Crime tape surrounded the front and back entrances of the Manx
Arms yesterday.
Saint Thomas residents interviewed yesterday didn't know there
had been a shooting.
"I didn't have a clue what happened," said a woman who lives
in a rear apartment unit above the bar. "I didn't hear a thing
when I was asleep."
Donny BURT, another apartment dweller, said he was up until 3
a.m., but didn't hear anything.
He called THORPE's shooting isolated, saying people don't usually
pull out guns in Saint Thomas.
The operator of a nearby business said the shootings underscore
the dangers of bar life -- even in Saint Thomas.
"I tell my son all the time you never know what will happen in
a bar. I tell him to keep his mouth shut because somebody always
wants to fight."
Saint
Thomas police Const. Glenn
HODGSON said police were called
to the Manx Arms at 12: 50 a.m. but wouldn't say what happened
in the bar before the shooting.
He said police couldn't comment further because they're prohibited
from discussing cases in which the Special Investigations Unit
is involved.
The bar's management could not be reached for comment.
The Special Investigations Unit, a civilian agency, investigates
circumstances involving police and civilians that have resulted
in serious injury, sexual assault or death.
BLISS said seven investigators have been assigned to yesterday's
shooting.
The last homicide in Saint Thomas involved a husband and wife.
Soodarsan BAJRANGIE-
SINGH, then 62, was convicted in 1996 of
the second-degree murder of his wife, Madeen
SINGH, then 58.
She was shot 13 times in the backyard of their Centre Street
home. SINGH was sentenced to life in prison.
Saint Thomas police were last involved in a shooting in 1985, when
two city police officers shot Gary
STEVENSON, 36, in his backyard
on Churchill Street after he pointed a gun at them.

Peacefully in his sleep, as he wished, at his home in London,
Ontario, on February 23, 2006 in his 88th year. Harold was the
devoted husband and friend for 54 years of Fern
SYKES (née
MERRITT,)
who passed away in 2000. Cherished father and father-in-law of
Gail and Joe
McCARTY
(London) and Stephanie
SYKES (Montreal.)
Dear grandfather of Scott
McCARTY

Dr.

(Carlisle.)
Several great
grandchildren will miss Grandpa Harold's warm smile, his unwavering
kindness, his wit and sense of humor: Nicole
McCARTY
(Dorchester,)
Lauren, Ryan and Erin
RIGBY
(Carlisle.)
Harold leaves two brothers,
Vern SYKES
(Dundas) and Stanley
SYKES (Burlington,) who, with
nieces Elaine
MacMILLAN
(Hamilton) and Diane
NICKS (Stoney
Creek)
and nephews Bill
MacMILLAN
(Hamilton,)
Vern
MacMILLAN (Stokes

SYKES and Neil

of a fine and decent man. Harold is predeceased by his mother,
Eliza and father, Harold Richard; his sisters Marion
TOWNER
(California)
and Eileen
MURRAY
(Hamilton;) his son-in-law, Chuck
McCARTY (London.)
Harold and Fern leave many Friends and extended family in the
Hamilton-Stoney Creek area where they lived for several years.
A veteran of World War 2, Harold served his country overseas
with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He donated his log book to
the National Archives, the contents of which document a harrowing
tale of a Sunderland aircraft downed in high seas off the coast
of West Africa in July, 1944. A quiet hero, Harold rarely spoke
of his accomplishments. When he met his lifelong love, Fern,
she mentioned a friend of hers, a veteran, who was a member of
"The Gold Fish Club" (fliers who had survived ditched aircrafts
on the high seas). It was not until years later, after they married,
that Fern learned Harold, himself, was a "Gold Fish"! He lived
his life simply, with honor, truth and dignity, caring most for
those near him who needed a helping hand, a shoulder to lean
on, a word of encouragement, a strong but warm heart. He spread
light, but as Edith Wharton wrote "There are two ways of spreading
light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it". Harold
most often reflected the light of those he loved and who loved
him. The world is less light today without that mirror. As he
wished, Harold's remains have been cremated. His family will
gather for a private and simple interment at Forest Lawn Memorial
Home and Gardens, 2001 Dundas Street, London on Saturday March
4 at 10: 00 a.m. At 11:00 a.m. on Saturday March 4, Friends and
family are invited to join together for an informal reception
to remember Harold and Fern: Reception area of the Forest Lawn
Memorial Home at the same address. In lieu of flowers, Harold
would have suggested two appropriate tributes: donation to the
charity of your choice and take a few extra hours today to spend
with those you love.

Of Wilson Avenue, Delhi passed away peacefully at the London
H.S.C., Victoria Hospital on Sunday, February 26, 2006 in her
79th year. Dorothy was a loving partner and wife for 62 years.
She was born in Dorchester and married at 17. In childhood, she

Dorothy's many dear Friends, her sense of fun and humour, her
loyalty, common sense and honesty were always appreciated. With
her sharp mind, intelligence, keen sense of business and financial
affairs, she and Mike were successful in all they endeavoured.
Her love of life showed up on the dance floor, playing a vigorous
game of cribbage or euchre, creating a beautiful flower garden,
spending a weekend with her sister Audrey, celebrating special
occasions with joy, reading a favourite new book, creating delicious
meals, spending time alone or taking a drive to Port Dover for
a foot long hot dog and some people watching. After retirement
one of Dorothy and Mike's favourite things was to jump into the
car and go for a drive. It didn't matter where or for how long.
But you can be sure it would always be Dorothy in the driver's
seat! Throughout her 78 years, Dorothy touched the lives and
hearts of many. She was deeply loved and will be deeply missed.
