of Delaware, Ontario, Liam and his wife Louise of Toronto, Alyssa
of Cannington and Doctor Tarah and her husband Daniel of Halifax,
great-grand_sons Connor, Kyle, Corwin, Benjamin and Aidan, and
great-granddaughters Cassidy and Lilly. Don really lived a charmed
life. He was born in Strathroy, Ontario to Ernest and Jean (nee
CLARK)
WRIGHT in 1908. He had three brothers and a sister Doctor Mary
WRIGHT.
The▼ family was very involved in theatre and music and
the boys formed the "Wright Brothers Orchestra" which had a great
following during their school years and on through university.
Don▼ met his "Lilly Belle" (Lillian (née
MEIGHEN,) the daughter
of the Right Honourable Arthur
MEIGHEN and his wife
Isabel▼ (nee
COX) at one of the dances and the rest was history. They courted
each other for their entire lives together. At the University
of Western Ontario, Don started the U.W.O. marching band -- an
institution that continues to this day. He was a very successful
athlete as a sprinter, high hurdler and his long jump record
of twenty-three feet, eight inches held for over a quarter century.
Don taught music, history, Latin and Greek for several years
at Sir Adam Beck Collegiate in London and all of his classes
were over-subscribed. His pedagogical talents were prodigious
and his former pupils still rave about his classes more than
60 years after he taught them. Don became supervisor of music
for the London Board of Education and from there he was recruited
to take over the reins of
CFPL
Radio.▼ He completely remodeled
the studios and control rooms and simultaneously brought new
and exciting programming to life. He increased the audience levels
many times over. His "
CFPL
Goes▼
Calling▼" brought many talented
people (both musical and other forms of radio entertainment)
onto the airwaves. Such voices as Max Ferguson (Rawhide), Ward
Cornell, John Tretheway and Murray Brown were all brought into
CFPL by Don. His outstanding creation while there was his "Don
Wright Chorus" which entranced audiences throughout both Canada
and the U.S. all through the early 1950s. Don moved to Toronto
in 1955 and continued his advertising "jingle" business in addition
to being Musical Director for the Denny Vaughn Show, Wayne and
Schuster and the Cliff McKey show "Holiday Ranch". He developed
a new radio choir called the Don Wright Singers which performed
for several years. As his career matured he composed a series
of provincial anthems presented in a performance package called
"Proudly we Praise", a tribute to Canada, which could be performed
by professionals or amateurs, and Don was very proud to be asked
to arrange and conduct a performance of this work on Parliament
Hill on Canada's Centennial for Queen Elizabeth II. Don's philanthropy
in later years was generous and impressive. He donated to track
and field endeavours and musical programmes at many universities
across Canada. He received several Honourary Doctorates from
Canadian Universities for these efforts, and the faculties of
music at U.W.O. and Victoria University bear his name. Grace
Hospital in Toronto as well as Saint Michael's Hospital's maternity
centres bear his and Lillian's names. A celebration of his life
will be held in Saint_James Cathedral, 65 Church Street, (at King
Street East) Toronto on Thursday, July 6th at 11 o'clock. A reception
will follow. Private entombment in the family niche at Mount
Pleasant Cemetery. Please direct any donations to the charity

By Judith WALKER,

Husband, father, granddad, brother, colleague, friend. Born September 20,
1927, in Windsor, Ontario Died November 27, 2005 of thyroid cancer,
in Windsor, aged 78.
Walter should be getting ready to open up the cottage for another
season. But this year, his family has to figure it out all on
their own. Fortunately, Dad had the foresight to prepare us for
everything from broken pipes and downed trees, to getting the
Adirondack chairs out on the boathouse deck.
Life was full of accomplishments that warmed his heart. Beginning
with a successful career in law and a loving marriage of 50 years,
with two children and five grandchildren, each of whom brought
Walter great pride -- every day was one to be thankful for.
However, Walter's true appreciation for all he had was most evident
while at the cottage on Lake Huron. His wife Janet introduced
him to the area shortly after they married. A rather barren shore,
shallow waters and an isolated intersection called Oliphant,
became in no time a paradise for a young family that loved endless
summers.
One of his greatest accomplishments was building the red cottage
by the lake. That (and everything around it) were his pride and
joy. The boathouse became "Granddad-Central." During the summer
months, he would conduct his practice from the boathouse, known
affectionately as "Shorelaw."
When not on his computer or receiving a fax, he could be found
in the attached woodworking shop, covered in sawdust. Grandchildren
would gather to be measured for the annual mark on the beer fridge
(or door frame when they got taller), and to help in the workshop
with sanding and hammering a doll's bed or toy boat to play with.
Woodworking for him was not just the chance to build a practical
piece of furniture, but also the challenge to make something
unique and beautiful. Even at home in Windsor, he had a sawdust
getaway. With two woodworking "studios," Dad had plenty of opportunity
to create. The smell of exotic woods, the graceful turn of a
table leg or a smooth-grained surface: these gave Dad much satisfaction
and pride. Family and Friends were the grateful recipients of
many treasures, from cutting boards and chess boards to stools
and fine pieces of furniture. When he drove away from the cottage
last summer, little did he know he would never return to his
favourite place on this earth.
Dad/Granddad lived his life with a set of values he believed
in and hoped to impart to his children and their children. Once
there were grandchildren on the scene, creating "memories" became
important to Granddad, especially as they got older and also
came to appreciate the importance of family. Whenever the opportunity
presented itself, Granddad would tell a story and within it weave
a message for his grandchildren to take away with them.
Friends will recall stimulating dinner conversations; colleagues
will wish they had the chance to confer with him regarding legal
issues; his grandchildren will long for his attentiveness and
those good times; his children will think of their father every
day trying to live their lives well, without new words of advice
to help -- and his wife will treasure all that they shared, keeping
his kindness and love in her heart, always.
Walter's family will return to the red cottage on Lake Huron
this spring with a sadness they have never known. However, each
day will bring fond memories and we will sit on the deck in the
evening watching another spectacular Oliphant sunset disappear
into the horizon, finding comfort in its warmth and a sense of
contentment as Dad's spirit whispers "Going, going… Gone."
Judith is Walter's daughter.

PRINCE,
Nelson
Peter
(April 8th, 1931-July 12th, 2006)
Nelson died peacefully in his sleep after a long fight with illness
on Wednesday July 12, 2006. Those who knew him and saw him through
these past 11 months came away from this experience with a great
respect for who and what he was, and in awe of his tremendous
strength against all odds, defying the best medical minds and
creating his own miracles in defeating death more than once.
Nelson was born and raised in Barry's Bay, Ontario. He left school
in Grade six to work in the logging camps, sending money home
to his widowed mother to tend to his siblings. Prior to his illness
Nelson enjoyed 20 years of retirement after serving with Canadian
National Railways for 37 years. He started sweeping floors at
Union Station and rose through the ranks to General Yard Master
responsible for all inbound and outbound train traffic coming
through the 'Mac' Yard. Every train whistle is a reminder of
the man who got them moving on time. A prolific Gardener, most
neighbours and Friends sought the advice of 'The Master Gardener'.
An avid fisherman, he could be found along the streams and rivers
surrounding Greater Toronto, pulling in the big one's and often
releasing them for another day. He will be dearly missed by his
five children and his 12 Grandchildren. Daughter Rhonda and Doug
and Spencer; son Roger and Peggy and Andrew, Matthew, Michael
and Hayden; son Richard and Cathy and Christopher, Katie, and
Stephen; Daughter Robin and Melissa and Justin; Daughter Renee
and Taylor and Dylan. Nelson is survived by his sisters and their
spouses, Irene and Stan; Mary and Tony; Stella and Paul; Dorothy
and Dan; and brothers and their spouses, Julian and Betty; Clemence and
Joan; Bernard and Cathy; and Raymond; and predeceased by his
brothers Leonard and Joe. In an email from Nelson's son Roger
to his own son Matt in Taiwan, Roger wrote: 'We are all connected
in spirit and I am proud of the inner strength and courage that
Grandpa has shared with us all. It is a part of who we are and
I know that his gentle soul, compassion, strength and appreciation
of all, is in each of us. I am thankful for the legacy that he
has left in us and with us. I am my Father's son'. Friends may
call at the DicksonGarland Funeral Home at 166 Main Street North
in Markham on Thursday July 13th from 6-8 p.m. A service in memory
of Nelson will be held at the funeral home on Friday July 14th
at 11: 00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Diabetes
Foundation would be greatly appreciated.

Ella
In loving memory of a dear Mom, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother
who passed away one year ago, July 1st, 2005.
She had a loving nature
And a heart as pure as god,
She always had a smiling face
And a story to be told.
A wonderful sense of humour
And a twinkle in her eye,
A helping hand in times of need,
On that you could rely.
Maybe we can't touch her hand
Or see her smiling face,
And maybe we can't hear her voice
Or feel her warm embrace
But something we will always have
Tucked safely in our hearts,
Our love for her, her love for us,
Will never let us part.

Art JOHNS,
Engineer▲ (1936-2006)
He was an fervent and proselytizing pipes-wires-and-beams sort
of engineer who transformed one of Canada's largest firms and,
in the process, rose to become its chairman
By Noreen SHANAHAN.
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S7
If Art JOHNS were a teacher and we were his students, he'd stand
before us with a piece of chalk in his hand and the first word
he'd write on the blackboard would be "Engineer." He'd be a patient
teacher, guiding us with his knowledge rather than attacking
our ignorance.
But Art JOHNS wasn't a teacher, he was an engineer and former
chairman of the Canadian consulting firm Morrison Hershfield
who spent an enormous amount of time dusting off the engineer
image and guiding it into the light from beneath the shadow of
the architect. Pipes, wires, and beams may not be as pretty as
the building itself, he'd likely say, but they are the stuff
that keep the works working and the public safe. And what is
this thing, engineering?
"You're sitting in it. You just ate it. You were entertained
by it," Mr.
JOHNS once told an awards audience. "You drove in
it. You may have flown in it. You ride in it. You wear it. You
listen to it and talk into it. You drink it and you breathe it.
It warms you and it cools you. It's everywhere you live."
According to Ron Wilson, Morrison Hershfield Chief Executive
Officer and Art
JOHNS's successor, Mr.
JOHNS took the profession's
responsibilities very seriously. "Engineers have a duty to protect
the public, much like doctors have a duty to protect individuals
from a health concern. Engineers probably save more lives than
doctors and so, from a humanitarian perspective moving society
forward and making it more successful, engineers play a very
significant role. But most engineers tend to forget that, because
they're down in the details, working out the problems."
Art JOHNS grew up in Scarborough, Ontario, as the
son of British
immigrants. His father, Charles, was from Manchester, while his
mother, Josephine, was born in Belfast. His father had arrived
in Canada with nothing, worked hard until he owned a parking
lot in downtown Toronto and was determined that his son would
get a good education.
Young Art did well in high school, where he excelled at football.
The JOHNS family likes to tell a story about how he won the high
school football finals on a decidedly soggy field. The team blasted
to success at the same time that Hurricane Hazel blasted through
Toronto in 1954. "They continued playing in mud and water, and
only after the game was won did they realize how severe the storm
really was," said his son, Brad
JOHNS.
When it was over, he left arm in arm with Ruth
MATHERS, his high
school sweetheart, whom he married soon after graduation.
Mr. JOHNS attended the University of Toronto and in 1960 earned
a degree in civil engineering. Two years later, he received his
masters at the University of Illinois and began work for Morrison
Hershfield.
Mr. JOHNS's greatest feat was also one of the first tests of
his career. As a newly minted engineer, he was made responsible
for the structural design and site supervision of the massive
Medical Science Building at the University of Toronto. He was
29 years old.
According to Janet Jensen, marketing co-ordinator for Morrison
Hershfield, Mr.
JOHNS was scared to death by the huge responsibility
and said it was as though he had been thrown into a deep pool.
He was sustained, however, by the thought that the company's
founders stood at the edge. He said they were ready to pull him
out if necessary, but otherwise let him get on with the job.
He soon became a principal in the firm.
Over the years, he also designed and inspected towers for Bell
Canada, Canadian National and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
from coast to coast, and worked on the structural design of the
Stratford Festival Theatre, the Memorial University Health Sciences
Complex in Saint_John's, several Sears stores, the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation head office in Ottawa, buildings at universities
in Saskatchewan and Sudbury, plus large supermarkets for the
Dominion and Steinberg's chains.
Understandably, his work demanded a great deal of travel. In
1967, he was closely involved in work on the Air Canada and Ontario
pavilions at Expo in Montreal, and found himself on projects
in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Sioux City,
Iowa, as well as the Carmichael Falls Power Dam in Northern Ontario.
For all that, Art
JOHNS was firmly rooted in the Toronto landscape
during a time when the city was wildly expanding, architecturally.
Among other projects, he engineered the Etobicoke Olympium complex
and its Olympic-size pool, and handled the restoration of the
Gardiner Expressway.
In his years at the firm he was, at various times, president,
Chief Executive Officer and chairman. He played a significant
part in the growth of the firm after 1986 and saw it triple in
size, quadruple its revenues, and expand into the U.S. market.
Today, it has nearly 600 employees in 11 offices across North
America.
Art JOHNS received two important awards during his career --
a gold medal from Ontario engineers in 2002, and another from
the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers in 2004. Most
recently, he worked as an investigator and witness, providing
expert testimony on construction and design. He appeared in pre-trials,
discoveries, mediations and court on several occasions in Canada
and the United States. He was also a strong supporter of a process
called alternative dispute resolution, which is used to mediate
construction disputes involving owners, designers, and contractors.
As a thinking man's engineer, he published a number of papers
for the firm, including a study on the aftermath of the collapse
of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001.
"The safety and survival of people housed or working in our buildings
will take priority over our chattels," he wrote. "Some will question
the safety of all tall buildings and others will seriously reconsider
whether or not the very top floors are indeed prestigious and
premium space."
Like the engineer he was, Mr.
JOHNS carefully regarded the whole
picture and not just the towers. "The destruction extended beyond
buildings to the utilities and infrastructure in Manhattan. Power,
sewers, water mains, telecommunications, transit and road networks
were disrupted. Fire safety for both the survival of structures
and evacuation of people has now become different challenges
for engineers."
According to the nominators for his 2004 award, Mr.
JOHNS also
influenced such practices as changes to building codes and promoted
Canadian engineering skills in the global market.
Privately, he also sat on the board of directors and was chair
of the procurement committee of Habitat for Humanity and was
involved in building a house for the charity in Alliston, Ontario
Mr. JOHNS retired from Morrison Hershfield in 2005, after 44 years
in the firm. Three days later, he was diagnosed with cancer.
"Never write your last day of work in your day timer," he told
his daughter, Linda
PRINGLE.
