REFORD, Robert William (May 1, 1921-May 9, 2006)
Robert (Bob) REFORD passed away peacefully at home on May 9th, just a week after being honoured at his 85th birthday party. He will be missed by his beloved wife and eternal partner of 34 years, Stephanie, his daughters Lisa and Sharon (Gary PERKINS,) his grand_sons Rob Reford PATTON and Nick REFORD, his step grandchildren Michael and Andrew PAYNE, his caregivers in LaHave, and nieces, nephews, family and Friends around the world. Robert was the oldest living Reford; Ribby's sister Maryon died in 1967 and his brother Michael in June 2005. Robert was born to Canadian parents in London, England, the eldest child of Brigadier Bruce REFORD, M.C. and Evelyn MacINNES. He was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford. He served with the Irish Guards from 1940-1946 with the rank of Captain, seeing action as an intelligence officer in France, Germany and Malaysia. After the war, he began a career in journalism. Beginning with the British United Press, for 12 years he headed the Ottawa office of Radio Canada International, was an editorial writer for the Ottawa Citizen and served as correspondent for Canadian newspapers at the United Nations. He then joined the staff of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research as special assistant to the director. In 1971, he was appointed Executive Director of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs, where he served until 1978. With his wife Stephanie, he founded an international affairs consultancy and in collaboration with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education developed Introducing: The World, a pioneering initiative to promote the study of world affairs in schools in Canada and the United States. A journalist and writer for more than four decades, Bob REFORD wrote thousands of articles and editorials. He edited and wrote several books, notably Canada and Three Crises on Canada's foreign policy during the international crises of the offshore islands of China, Suez and Cuba. During the 1980s, he wrote and lectured widely on arms control and disarmament and Canadian foreign policy. He succeeded his friend Senator Douglas Roche as president of the United Nations Association in Canada in 1985. He had a lifelong involvement in the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs and was a founding director of the Canadian Centre for Arms Control and Disarmament. In 1988, he was appointed to the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board where he served until his retirement in 1994. He had two children (Lisa and Sharon) with his first wife, Ginger. He met Stephanie McCANDLESS at the United Nations in 1970 and they married in 1972. He shared with her a love of international affairs and travel. In their homes in Toronto and LaHave, they entertained regularly, bringing together Friends, family and acquaintances, young and old, from all parts of the world. Proud grandfather to Rob and Nick, Robert was a favourite uncle and cousin and a mentor to women and men of several generations. An avid bird-watcher, he was also an excellent golfer and skier. A wine enthusiast and lover of fine food, he wore the chain of Confrerie of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs with particular pride. Robert was an agile wordsmith and was regularly called upon to recite poetry, doggerel and limericks at celebrations. With his exceptional height and full head of white curly hair, Bob was a striking figure wherever he travelled. Even after a stroke diminished his mobility, his twinkle and charm never left him and he often bested his caregivers, Amy, Debbie, Joanne, Marina, Marphy, Mary Ann and Scott with his repartee and wordplay. A memorial celebration of his life in Nova Scotia will be held at the West Dublin Community Hall on Friday, May 12th at 3 p.m. A memorial service to celebrate Robert's life and achievements will be held for family and Friends on Sunday, September 3 at Les Jardins de Métis/Reford Gardens, the gardens created by his grandmother in Grand-Métis, Québec.

KNOX, John Lewis (1918-2006)
Canadian Meteorological Service Atmospheric Environment Service At Toronto, on May 14, 2006, leaving Mary Hardy (MARTIN) KNOX, his wife of 57 years; children Paul (Lesley KRUEGER,) Roger and Sheila (Jim COBBAN;) grand_sons Gabe KNOX, Peter COBBAN and David COBBAN, all of Toronto; sister Peggie (Mrs. Philip LEE) and nieces Robin LEE, Mandy LEE (Greg PATTON) and Liz Aldwinckle (John) of Calgary; niece Tamara KNOX of Vancouver; sister-in-law Alice SHARPE (Charles) of Lakefield, Ontario, niece Jennifer FLATMAN (Mark) of Haliburton, Ontario, nephew Peter DANCE (Susan MONK) of Orillia, Ontario; 10 great-nieces and great-nephews; first cousins Lewis KELLEY of Deal, Kent, and Philip KELLEY of London, England; and cousins in Northern Ireland, Jersey and Australia. Predeceased by his brother David of Vancouver. Shaped like so many others by the wars of the 20th century, John's life was marked by a passion for science, the public service and family activities. His father, Robert KNOX (b. near Irvinestown, Co. Fermanagh, Ireland) emigrated to Canada in 1907 and was commissioned as a major in the Canadian Army in 1914. He met Vera MARKS (b. Leicester, England) in London while on medical leave after service in France. Invalided back to Canada, Robert was joined by Vera in Halifax, where they were married in 1917 and where John, the first of their three children, was born on July 28 of the following year. The family arrived in Toronto after sojourns in Saint John, New Brunswick, and Montreal, but owing to Robert's health problems, Vera and the children then spent three years with relatives in St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands. They returned in 1929 to Toronto, where John attended the Normal Model School and Jarvis Collegiate. The summers spent on the beaches and tennis courts of Ward's Island were among the happiest times of his adolescence. John graduated from the University of Toronto in 1939 with an honours B.A. in mathematics and physics. He worked for the Excelsior Life Insurance Co. but in 1941 seized the opportunity to apply his skills to the war effort, signing up for training as a meteorologist. Posted to Gaspé, Goose Bay and Gander, he served with a corps of forecasters and technicians that provided invaluable guidance to trans-Atlantic flight crews. Several became leaders of Canada's meteorological service in the post-war years. In 1947, John returned to Toronto to join the forecasting staff at Malton (now Pearson International) airport. He completed his M.A. degree from University of Toronto and also frequented the Bloor Street headquarters of the service. There he met Mary, who had been working as a meteorological technician since university graduation in 1944. They were married in 1948 and moved to Etobicoke, then a rapidly growing suburb. John's professional achievements included his analysis of the transformation of Hurricane Hazel, which struck the Toronto region with deadly force on October 15, 1954. He was part of the forecast team on duty at the time and later published scientific papers on the subject. He became chief forecaster at Malton and, after the death of his friend and colleague Fred Turnbull, acting director of the Ontario region of the Canadian Meteorological Service (later A.E.S.). John appeared on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television as a weather analyst and was well known to listeners of radio station CFRB for his daily afternoon weather updates. Cherished memories of his Ashbourne Drive years include the backyard ice rink he kept carefully maintained and available to the neighbourhood, and summer holidays at Sandy Lake in the Kawarthas with sister-in-law Alice and her family. John moved with his family to Vancouver in 1965 after being named director of the meteorological service's Pacific region. He relished not only the administrative challenge but also the chance to become familiar with weather patterns on the Pacific Coast. Always a keen student of meteorological science, he took early retirement in 1975 and embarked on graduate studies at the University of British Columbia, where he obtained a PhD in 1981. He was a pioneer in using computer analysis to re-interpret decades of observed weather data. His thesis on atmospheric blocking sought to employ these techniques to explain anomalies in the development of weather systems in the Northern Hemisphere. John's awareness of the value of observations taken by human beings led him to champion the cause - ultimately unsuccessful - of saving Ocean Station Papa off the Pacific Coast and the weather ships that kept it running. Armed with his doctorate, John spent several years as a consulting meteorologist for clients including A.E.S. and the U.S. Geological Survey, working on problems such as Arctic temperature variability and drought cycles in the Red River basin. His papers and reviews were published in scientific journals and he contributed to the work of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He was a longtime member of the American Meteorological Society and the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. He received the Andrew Thomson prize in applied meteorology in 1982 for his doctoral thesis, and in 1983 was awarded the Patterson Medal for distinguished service to meteorology in Canada. A lifelong sports enthusiast, John played intramural hockey and squash in university and also enjoyed tennis, racquetball and cycling. With their children grown and flown, John and Mary returned to Toronto in 1982 and spent many happy days in their garden on Deloraine Avenue, where John paid particular attention to his spectacular dahlias. Retirement was enriched by travel, including visits to Jersey and his father's birthplace in Fermanagh, as well as a fascination with computer games and the enjoyment of watching his grandchildren flourish. The frustration of failing faculties was eased greatly by caregiver Ron ANDRADA and the staff of Fourth Floor East, Isabel and Arthur Meighen Manor, to whom John's family is deeply grateful for their kindness and support. We look forward to greeting John's Friends and acquaintances on Saturday, May 27, 2006, at the Humphrey Funeral Home - A.W. Miles Chapel, 1403 Bayview Avenue, Toronto, (416) 487-4523. Visitation from 2-3 p.m., memorial tribute from 3-4 p.m., followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers we would greatly appreciate support for a fund in John's memory to assist students in atmospheric science at University of British Columbia. Donations may be sent to the John Knox Memorial Fund, c/o Michelle Messinger-Orr, University of British Columbia Development Office, 500-5950 University Blvd., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6T 1Z3. So long John - we wish you sunny skies, fair winds and safe landings. We miss you already!

PATTON, George Lloyd, Captain (Ret'd), M.C., E.M. and bar, P.Eng.
(December 2, 1916-December 12, 2006)
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Lloyd, just 10 days after celebrating his 90th birthday. Lloyd was predeceased by his wife Marjorie in 1987, and his wife Tootie SCHWARTZ in 1994. Lloyd leaves behind his four children Valerie (Gordon), Lorraine (Ken), Greg (Sandie), Maureen (Geoff), his eight grandchildren Gavin, Marjie (Derek), Tanya, Paul (Natalie), Krista (Byron), Kendra (Hayden), Graeme, Emily and great-grand_son Maddox. Lloyd is also survived by the Schwartz family and his dear Friends Beanie, Fran and Bess. Lloyd began his life on the prairies and graduated in 1939 from the University of Manitoba in Electrical Engineering. During his university years he was very active in track and field, the Canadian Officers Training Corps and cultivating his relationship with his sweetheart Marge. They were married in 1940, 10 months later Valerie was born, 1 year later duty called and Lloyd left to fight in the war, serving in Italy and N.W. Europe until 1945. Lloyd was awarded the Military Cross for his role in tank recovery under fire at the last battle for Cassino, Italy, while serving as Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Officer attached to the Ontario Tank Regiment, 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade. After the war Lloyd, Marge and Valerie packed up and moved west, settling in North Vancouver. Lloyd worked at Cemco Electric until 1961 when he co-founded Patton and Cooke Ltd., manufacturers of high voltage industrial electrical equipment, still a successful business today with son Greg (Dad's pride and joy) at the helm. Retirement gave Dad time to enjoy travel, golf, oil painting and playing the organ. Unfortunately, Mum died too soon. Within a few years Dad met Tootie, another prairie soul, and the two of them made haste to enjoy their short time together. Alone again, Dad filled his days with good Friends and family. Five years ago he slipped on ice, broke a hip and his lifestyle was forever altered. Always an optimist, he made the best of his new station and settled right into his new life at George Derby Centre. He enjoyed playing the piano for the music group, painting, trivia, playing crib and most of all visiting with family and Friends. Special thanks to Lloyd's Friends, caregivers and staff at George Derby. Dad was a man of great courage and integrity. He was our hero. His kindness and generosity were returned to him in the many wonderful relationships he had with those whose paths he crossed. Most of all, he will be remembered for his great sense of humour, his enjoyment of a good joke and a belly shaking chortle. Arrividerci, old chap. If we don't see you in the future, we'll see you in the pasture! A service will be held at 1: 00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 19 at Hollyburn Funeral Home, 1807 Marine Dr., West Vancouver.

Big band leader boosted spirits in tough times
By Matthew CHUNG, Staff Reporter
Stan PATTON's poor eyesight kept him home during World War 2.
So while other young Canadians were picking up their guns and fighting in Europe, Patton picked up his tenor saxophone and helped those who were here fight their worries.
They came to the dance halls -- decked out in gowns and tuxedos to dance away their fears while Stan PATTON and his Orchestra was swinging on the bandstand.
PATTON died October 20 in a Richmond Hill hospital at the age of 91. But even in his last days, he was boosting the morale of his daughter, Holly BRIESMASTER, 58, and son, Brooke PATTON, 57, with flamboyant tales of his time as a big band leader.
"Dad was definitely a star. And if you wanted to be affirmed of that, all you had to do was ask him because he would certainly tell you," his son said.
PATTON's career spanned more than three decades and saw him play from coast to coast.
A clarinet and tenor sax player, he was one of a group of Canadian big band-era musicians whose bands grew in popularity in spite of, or perhaps due to, the Depression and, later, the war.
He played Toronto's Royal York Hotel and Casa Loma, the Lakeview Casino in Grand Bend and the Brant Inn in Burlington.
PATTON also performed on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio's Sweet and Low, and wrote music and comedy for other Canadian Broadcasting Corporation programs, such as Happy Gang and Newsical.
With his death, few musicians remain from that swing era.
"We're all dying," said Murray GINSBERG, 84, a retired trombonist, and former member of the Royal Canadian Army Show and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. "I knew Stan for years. He always had a good band."
PATTON was born to Irish parents in 1915 in St. Boniface, Manitoba, the youngest of nine children. He grew up in Vancouver, where he became the leader of a band in 1935.
"The nickname my dad had was 'Jazz,'" his daughter said. "His orchestra called him that. It gives you a sense of the sparkling quality about Stan PATTON."
In his unpublished memoirs, typed out in 1997, he recalls chatting on a wet morning in 1940 with his friend, Mart KENNEY, who was known as Canada's Big Band King.
PATTON wrote, "Mart, if it rains one more damn day (in Vancouver,) I'm gonna pack my sax, clarinet and tux, then I'm leaving this town forever."
KENNEY asked PATTON to join his legendary band, Mart KENNEY and his Western Gentlemen, as they relocated to Toronto. PATTON went home and said, "Mom, I'm going to Toronto with Mart KENNEY."
With KENNEY, PATTON went on a national tour. But the late nights caught up with him in the Winnipeg Arena.
"While the muted brass were playing the first chorus of 'Stardust,' I fell asleep, and when the sax section stood up to play the second chorus, (I) sat slumped down on (my) chair in dreamland," PATTON wrote.
He didn't rest long. By 1941, he had started his own orchestra in Toronto. Two years later, PATTON married Patricia Jean DUNCAN. He remarried in 1975 following Patricia's death in 1973.
When the age of the big band faded, PATTON got into real estate and made more money in his first week than he had earned in a month with the band.
"He really had a magnetic personality and he transferred his on-stage persona into being a good salesman," his son said.
But PATTON had one last summer as "Jazz" when, in 1962, he auditioned and was booked into the Imperial Room at the Royal York Hotel.
And he never really stopped putting on a show.
"Nobody was ever with my dad that they didn't laugh. Ever," Brooke said. "Sometimes you were laughing at the same band stories and jokes you had heard a hundred times."
In addition to his children, PATTON leaves a granddaughter. His family plans to mark his life on January 29, 2007, on what would have been his 92nd birthday.
