PERKIN, Robert " Bob"
In loving memory of my dear Father, a loving Husband, and adored Papa who passed away May 23, 2003.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven,
To bring you home again.
Some farewell words were spoken,
I know I said goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness,
And secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
Terribly missed and lovingly remembered by Erika, Shawn, Payton and Xander

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. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to: Les Amis des Jardins de Métis, 200 Route 132, Grand-Métis, Québec G0J 1Z0 (Charitable Reg. #896573383 RR0001), or the United Nations Association in Canada, 300 - 309 Cooper Street, Ottawa, Ontario K2P 0G5 (Charitable Reg. #11927-6855 RR0001).

STAVRO embodied local sports
Leafs ex-owner, 78, dreamed, lived big
'Honest Grocer' dies of heart attack
By Dave PERKINS, Sports Columnist
When it came to sports, Steve STAVRO possessed a keen sense of anticipation and optimism. It's a trait common to those involved in horse racing; some say it keeps them young. There's always another crop of 2-year-olds with promise coming, always a barn full of 3-year-olds that might be good enough to make a man dream the big dreams.
STAVRO was better known -- regrettably famous and almost infamous for owning the Maple Leafs for a contentious decade or so and he and the fans in this city dreamed the big dreams there, too. They went unmet on his watch, although that certainly didn't make him unique.
Many aspects of his life did, though, a life that ended Sunday, at age 78, from a heart attack, at his large and imposing home above the 18th fairway at Rosedale Golf Club.
STAVRO was a guy who grew up the hard way. Worked hard. Got up early in the morning and kept his hands on his businesses. Understood and appreciated the handshake and the back-room deal. Had a reverence for, if not a fixation on, Alexander The Great, as some Macedonian-born persons did (and do). For all the in-person joking you could do with the guy referred to here as the Honest Grocer, his angriest reaction, in our dealings, came when asked if he'd seen the story that historians had uncovered evidence suggesting Alexander The Great was a little light in the sandals. The Grocer definitely didn't want to go there.
Now, he'll spend eternity beneath an image of his hero; his recently finished grave monument in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, one he was proudly describing to Friends at a breakfast just this past Saturday morning, has a 22-foot-tall statue of Alexander The Great on horseback atop the mausoleum. There are Maple Leafs, Raptors, Air Canada Centre, horse racing and soccer motifs, as well as four guardian lions and they definitely aren't girl lions. He has the bases covered.
STAVRO was a people person all the way, knew the names of the guys who unloaded the trucks and stocked the shelves. He also had Pavarotti over to his house one night after a concert at Maple Leaf Gardens to meet and even sing a song or two for 100 swells at $1,000 a plate -- this was when $1,000 was a lot of money with all the money going to Villa Columbo. So he knew which fork to use, like he knew his way around the Turf Club at Woodbine, although his heart, with its humble beginnings, was on the backstretch.
When it came to sports, he was an owner in the old-fashioned sense of the word, which means he was different from the mere investors and money lenders who, 3½ years ago, squeezed him out of the corporate picture that now has become Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.
He thought players made too much money -- he was and is not alone in this regard -- and rejected the chance to add Wayne Gretzky late in his career as being too expensive. He fought against other big-money contracts, too, one of the reasons he was chased out. He was old-fashioned in other ways, gruff and profane being two of them. He didn't know how to begin to deal with the Maple Leaf Gardens pedophilia scandal, a messy affair he inherited, along with the hockey team, and his regime's insensitive behaviour was itself scandalous to many.
He feuded with his cousins, the Bitoves, who owned the basketball team at the time. Again, that did not make him unique.
STAVRO liked money, surely, and resisted overspending whenever possible. The means by which he took control of the Maple Leafs came into serious question. He acted as buyer and seller as executor of Harold BALLARD's estate and when the charities to which BALLARD left the team, led by a few sharp stockholders, protested the short price involved, the securities people saw their side of things. STAVRO needed to come up with something like $51 million to make the pot square and thereafter became financially vulnerable to the takeover that ultimately came in 2003.
This short-changing of the charities was at odds with his track record for writing cheques for good causes. He did plenty of that; every year, when this space collected cash for kids at Christmas in the name of Jim PROUDFOOT, a letter and a $1,000 cheque arrived from the Steve and Sally Stavro Foundation. He was, others would testify, an easy mark for the right reasons.
There were other questions, though. His Knob Hills Farms, a vast grocery empire he built through hard work and handshakes, couldn't keep pace with modern retail practices and went under, yet he ended up controlling a prime chunk of city-owned waterfront land under curious circumstances. It was the land where the athlete's village would have been had Toronto won the 2008 Olympics. He'd have made a fortune.
Because he had been such a noticeable part of the Toronto sporting scene for a few decades -- his presence not unlike that, in a different realm, of a Johnny Lombardi -- he remained a fixture at the racetrack and the dinners where the sporting crowd gathers, even after his Maple Leaf proprietorship was over.
Our last conversation, at last November's Canadian Sports Hall of Fame induction dinner, started about his thoroughbreds. We discussed a 3-year-old of his that had looked, but not run, the part last year and he was bubbling about his 2-year-olds (now 3-year-olds) and their futures. He also wondered how the people who run Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment could sleep at night, having abandoned Saint_John's, Newfoundland., with their top farm club.
"Nicest people in the world, those people in Newfoundland, and we had a good deal with them. Now we're just (bleeping) them," he said and he meant it. He said he was ashamed of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. This put him ahead of the curve again.
He also didn't understand what Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment was thinking by trying pro soccer again, because STAVRO was nothing if not persistent when it came to soccer. He often put his own money -- not taxpayers' -- where his heart was, bankrolling several stabs at making pro soccer work in this town, from the Continental Soccer League to the International Soccer League, the Eastern Canada Professional Soccer League, the United Soccer Association and the North American Soccer League. Soccer responded, at least by naming him to its Canadian hall of fame last year as a builder.
He had his enemies -- who doesn't? -- but he made himself a lot of Friends in soccer, horse racing, junior hockey, around the Leafs. One of a kind? No question. No one else like him in this town.

Mother, 2 children shot dead, father arrested following chase
By Brodie FENLON and Rob LAMBERTI, Special To The Free Press, Mon., March 6, 2006
Aurora -- Two young siblings and their mother were found shot to death in their home yesterday and her recently estranged husband was arrested following a dramatic high-speed pursuit.
York homicide detectives haven't revealed the identities because kin haven't been found, but Friends and co-workers identified the victims as Wendy LAFLECHE, 41, her son Jesse, 3, and daughter Victoria, 7.
Wendy LAFLECHE's son from another relationship, Devon BRISBOURNE, 16, a student at Aurora secondary school, wasn't at home at the time of the killings. Police had been concerned for his safety yesterday morning until he was found safe.
A police source said the suspect called police about the slayings about 6: 50 a.m. and he was spotted in an Chrysler Intrepid, which he recently bought from a neighbour, at Jane Street and Highway A pursuit reaching speeds of as much as 170 km/h involving almost two dozen York and Ontario Provincial Police cruisers ensued north on Highway 400, where the suspect was allegedly seen waving a gun out the window.
Police used spike belts to flatten its tires before the car was boxed in north of Duckworth Street. It appeared the car was peppered with shotgun pellets.
The suspect wasn't injured and was arrested without incident. He was taken to York's 1 District on Prospect Street to speak with homicide detectives.
Charges were not filed against John LAFLECHE, 40, a former long-haul trucker, as of yesterday afternoon. He is known to police in connection with robbery convictions and was last arrested in 1992 for an armed heist of a Vaughan gas station while on parole.
Const. Laurie PERKS said the suspect is the father of the two young children and Wendy LAFLECHE's husband.
The forensic examination of the scene was stalled as detectives spent most of the day preparing a warrant to enter the two-storey white clapboard home with green trim.
Official information was scarce yesterday.
"As you can appreciate, it is two children and their mother&hellip It is just tragic and the officers had a difficult time with that scene," PERKS said.
It's the second incident within four days where young children were killed in York Region. On Thursday, Renu ELANGO, 2, and her three-month-old sister, Movlika, were found dead in their Markham bathtub with their mother, suffering from self-inflicted wounds. Sivananthi ELANGO, 30, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Wendy LAFLECHE was a hairdresser and assistant manager at First Choice Haircutters on Bayview Avenue in Aurora, where she worked for three years.
Amanda ALLEN, the salon's manager and a close friend of LAFLECHE, said the victim's husband had moved out of the house at 15407 Yonge St. about a month ago.
"She was a great person. She'd do anything for you," said a shaken ALLEN.
Grisly New Year
It's been a particularly gruesome new year for domestic violence in the Greater Toronto Area:
- March 2: The lifeless bodies of three-month-old Movlika ELANGO and her two-year-old sister, Renu, were found in a tub with their mother -- who was also critically injured with self-inflicted wounds -- at a house in Markham. The mother, Sivananthi ELANGO, 30, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
- February 9: The partially decapitated bodies of Shao-Sang LIANG, 38, her daughter, Vivian Yuen-Yee CHAU, 3, and her son, Ian CHAU, five months, were found in the basement of their bungalow near Victoria Park and Finch avenues. LIANG's common-law husband, Huc Minh CHAU, 40, faces three counts of first-degree murder
- February 9: A 31-year-old woman was stabbed twice at a plaza by the GO station in Ajax. Police credit bystanders with saving the woman's life. Her estranged spouse, 37, was arrested and charged with attempted murder. Police would not release his name in order to protect the victim's identity.
- January 26: Rose BOROJA, 54, of Markham, was found strangled in her daughter's Toronto home, where she was babysitting her two-year-old grand_son. Her husband, Pero BOROJA, 70, is charged with second-degree murder.
