MILLEY, Rose▼ (née BENTSEN)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rose, Grandma, Mum and wife on September 10, 2006. She is survived by her husband of 51 years Don MILLEY, and by her children and their partners: Scott and Vickie of Kincardine; Andrew and Mary of Guelph; Catherine and Ray of Ottawa and Lesley and Chris of Toronto. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren Hannah and Erica MILLEY; Simon, Gordon and Grace MILLEY and Zoe, Ezra and Hazel PIERCE. Rose fought cancer for 20 years, but it did not deter her from traveling, studying, acting and enjoying her eight grandchildren. In the past few years she traveled to Norway, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Poland, Cuba and across Canada, sometimes hiking but more recently touring. Rose was a keen participant in Act II studio, taking many courses and acting and singing in plays and recitals. A lifelong supporter of the arts, she enjoyed the opera, symphony and theatre. Rose would never turn down a game of scrabble, including her last game three days before she died, which she won with a seven letter word. Rose grew up on the Queen Charlotte Islands and in Prince Rupert. She worked as a legal secretary in Vancouver before marrying and moving east as a young newlywed. She and Don spent three years in England before returning to Ontario to raise their family in Kincardine, Oakville, Deep River and Port Elgin. These were busy years filled with family and volunteering; any spare time was spent taking courses and studying, which culminated in English degree from the University of Ottawa. After two years in Atlanta, Rose and Don returned to Toronto, where Rose used her natural tenacity to re-enter the workforce after many years at home. Her work at cultural organizations, especially the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, was very important to her. The family will receive Friends for a reception gathering in the Leaside Room of the Humphrey Funeral Home - A.W. Miles Chapel, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Eglinton Avenue East), on Sunday, October 1st at 2 o'clock. If desired, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, 20 Holly Street, Suite #101, Toronto, Ontario M4S 3B1 or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

In Loving Memory Of: Margaret MILLIGAN who passed away on February "We thought of you with love today,
But this is nothing new,
We thought about you yesterday,
And the days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name,

And your picture in a frame,
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part,
God has you in his keeping,
But we have you in our hearts."
Loving remembered and sadly missed, Your husband, Jim, and family: Frank and Karen, Jimmy and Family, Larry and Jayne, Jackie and Bill and all of your beautiful grandchildren and your great grand_son.

MILLIGAN, Donald Stuart
By Laura MILLIGAN, Page A20
Father, nature lover, music buff. Born October 31, 1954, in Hamilton, Ontario Died August 28, 2005 in Victoria, of suicide, aged 50.
'Live in the moment" was a personal mandate Don took to heart and strived to fulfill daily. Not one to address conflict or focus on the negative, it came as a blow to learn he took his life hours after we spent his last evening sharing quips. Growing up as the youngest of eight, Don developed macular degeneration, a disease of the eye, at the age of 15; he was later diagnosed as legally blind. He spent his early twenties backpacking across Canada, working with a Department of Highways survey crew as a rod man on the Dempster Highway and Carcross-Skagway Highway, eventually meeting my mother in Whitehorse in 1974. His conversations were always magnified with detailed accounts of his adventures, his memory sharp and his descriptions meticulous.
My parents settled in Kingston, Ontario, where my sister and I spent our childhood on a hobby farm. My parents ran a B and B in a turn-of-the-century red brick homestead they restored; my dad a stay-at-home parent with a penchant for refinishing antique furniture; his B and B menu included unmatched blueberry pancakes.
After a solo trip to Victoria in 1994, he returned to persuade my family to relocate. He had stumbled across a group who took him along to events at Clayoquot Sound. My father's tales and photographs of activist chaos were foreign and arresting. The West Coast seemed to run through my father's veins, his passion for the wild unpredictability of nature affecting to those in his life. Despite our parents divorcing shortly after our settling on the coast, none of us regret the big move. My father's stubbornness and almost child-like obsession with discovering what Victoria could offer remains with us as we continue to call this city home. He developed deep relationships with folk he encountered during his errands or explorations. He could talk for hours, ad libbing about music, film, the environment and audiophile tips. If you had a question, he had the answer, no matter how indirectly he arrived there.
With no means of transportation my father paid for an ambitious taxi ride to Brentwood College to watch me race in a high-school rowing regatta. He brushed it off; however, that moment is highlighted in my rich archive of father-memories.
Spending six years in Ontario for post-secondary endeavours made it difficult for me to see my father. He could not financially afford the trips out east and I was only able to visit during the holidays. Our epic phone calls always consisted of him taking time to chat with my housemates about the hockey game or a concert he recently attended, often without having met them in person.
He became a victim of reluctance to discuss his struggles, with an intense focus on making light of the negative. In retrospect, I wonder if he ever came to terms with his visual impairment. He was involved with the initial stages of Victoria's award-winning Spirit Garden, the Tactile Colour Communications Society (for which Canadian Broadcasting Corporation interviewed him to discuss viewer participation in one of the society's exhibitions), and most recently the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre Society's Latin Caribbean Festival. We bartended side-by-side, and he beamed as he chatted up festival patrons. It was apparent he was not thinking about his visual difficulties, but rather only the moment. Even during the final days before his death he was living in the moment, musing that life could be worse and inquiring as to whether I was adequately eating and sleeping; always others before himself. I do not think in my lifetime I will have the chance to meet another charming character like him. He may be gone in presence, however I have never felt as close to him as I do now.
Laura MILLIGAN is Don's daughter.

She earned numerous music diplomas and a music degree in Violin from the University of Saskatchewan. She continued her studies in Winnipeg, receiving a Diploma in Education from the University of Manitoba. She taught elementary school in Winnipeg from 1938 till 1942. She eventually played First Violin with a number of orchestras on the Prairies. In 1942 she met and married Don PATTERSON of Calgary. Her love of music and young people brought her back to teaching in 1965. Peg taught as a substitute teacher at the Children's Hospital in Calgary and at a number of junior high schools until she was in her seventy-fifth year. Peg was active in the Women's Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta and was their President in the late 1960's, being honoured as a Life Member. She was an active Lioness with the Downtown Calgary Lions Club. She kept in touch with many Friends including the University of Saskatchewan alumni and the alumni of Don's employer, United Canso Oil and Gas Ltd.

TASCONA, Antonio " Tony," C.M., R.C.A.
At Victoria General Hospital on Sunday, May 28, 2006 in his 80th year. Beloved life partner and best friend of Doreen MILLIN. Loving father of Cathie (Patrick PAYNE); Marty (Callie); Chris (Faye MIRON.) Proud grandfather of Dominic and Daniella; Hannah June, Antonio and Hayley May; Michael and Isabella. Caring and fun-to-be-with step dad to Sarah MILLIN and Deirdre MILLIN, (Jeff KATZ and daughter Naomi.) Predeceased by his beloved son Larry and eleven siblings including his sister Connie (Scaletta), and brothers Ross and Sam of Winnipeg. He is survived by brother Pepin (Edna) of Barrie, Ontario; his sister Irene (Boyle); numerous nieces and nephews and his first wife, May TASCONA. Tony has touched the lives of many people across Canada, not only with his art but with his generosity of spirit and his zest for life. These attributes and passion for nature were inherited from his Sicilian parents. Working in the aerospace industry early in his career fuelled his fascination with experimentation, materials and precision. He was one of the first artists in Canada to paint on aluminum, counterbalancing the smooth cool surface and his geometric imagery with a sophisticated pastel palette. He also painted on canvas, cast resin sculpture, produced silkscreen prints, and most recently, ink drawings. Other artists marvelled at his continuous range of productivity and his ability to make meaningful relationships with his clients. Only hospitalization prevented him from working. He received many public commissions including: the Centennial Concert Hall murals, the Millennium Library Reading Courtyard sculpture, stabiles in the lobbies of the Manitoba Law Courts, the St. Boniface Research Hospital and the Freshwater Institute. Few Canadian artists have been honoured by a permanent retrospective of their work such as his at the Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba. The Winnipeg Art Gallery mounted a retrospective of his 50 year oeuvre in 2001. He was the only Manitoban included in the 2005 National Gallery of Canada exhibition, "the 60's in Canada." and earlier this year the Franco Manitoba Cultural Centre hosted "Transformations" 32 recent drawings, as part of his 80th birthday celebration. The opening attracted devoted clients and colleagues from across Canada; the National Gallery's Director Pierre Theberge participated in the opening ceremonies. Tony was active in the development of the arts in Canada and he served on the boards of the Royal Canadian Academy, National Gallery of Canada, The Canadian Conference of the Arts, The Winnipeg Art Gallery and Carfac Canada. This contribution and his constant support of Manitoba charities, in concert with his artistic achievements, garnered him an honorary LL.D. from the University of Winnipeg in 1994 and the Order of Canada in 1996. His works can be found in permanent collections across Canada including the National Gallery of Canada, the Confederation Centre, the Canada Council Art Bank, The Art Gallery of Ontario, The Winnipeg Art Gallery, The Glenbow Museum, the Norman Mackenzie Gallery and the Greater Victoria Art Gallery as well as numerous corporate and private collections. His archives are held by the University of Regina and digital images are available at the Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art Website. A junior baseball and hockey player, he was inducted into the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002 and his 1948 Brandon Grays Baseball team is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend. Following cremation, a private extended-family memorial service has been held. Per Tony's request, a wake will be held at a later date. The public are invited to attend the Tony Tascona Memorial Exhibition at St. Boniface College in early September, 2006. Memorial donations may be made to the Tony Tascona Art History Bursary University of Winnipeg Foundation, University of Winnipeg, Wesley Hall, 515 Portage Ave., Winnipeg. Manitoba R3B 2E9 204-786-9995. The Desjardins Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements, 233-4949 or toll free 1-888-233-4949.
