BIRD, William Allen
Saturday, March 11, 2006, at 65, after a lengthy struggle with lung disease. Bill is survived by his personal patient advocate, primary caregiver, best friend, and much-loved first-born daughter, Cheryl Anne BIRD. He is also survived by his beloved sister Frances REEVE. There▼ is a long list of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles who will miss his mischievous wit, particularly Auntie Bonnie NELLES of London. Bill was predeceased in April, 2003 by his sweetheart and wife of 40 years, Rozanne Anita SMITH in January of 1992 by their younger daughter Wendy LENORE; and in May, 2005 by Bill's "big brother" of almost 60 years, Norman (Champ) REEVE. He was also predeceased by his parents Rowland (Bud) and Susan (Quail) BIRD; and by a younger sister and brother Laurel Ann and Clyde Lionel BIRD. The family will receive Friends at Ogden Funeral Home, 4164 Sheppard Ave. E. (east of Kennedy Road) on Wednesday, March 15, 2006 from 7-9 p.m., and on Thursday, March 16, 2006 from 10-11 a.m. A memorial service will be held in the Ogden Chapel at 11: 00 a.m. Bill will be widely remembered for the varied careers he followed, and the full and active life he lived as a parent and volunteer throughout Ontario. From school in Toronto where he earned a B.A. equivalency in Journalism, he established an award-winning career as a reporter, photographer, editor and columnist with daily newspapers in Simcoe, Stratford, Kingston, Toronto and Sudbury. Bill moved next into industrial public relations and organizational communication with Honeywell in Toronto, and then for 10 years ending in 1978 with the Falconbridge Group of companies out of Sudbury. Along the way, Bill and the family became devotees of the sport of 5 Pin Bowling, and he became a dedicated volunteer in the Sudbury area and on Provincial and National Boards of Directors. Sport and industry leaders were impressed enough to hire him away from Falconbridge, and from 1978 until 1987 when he resigned, he helped build the Ontario 5 Pin Bowlers' Association into one of the largest and richest amateur sport governing bodies in the province. For the next 17 years until he fell ill, he was happily self employed as a communication consultant, courier and deck builder. As a boy, Bill's mother taught him that truly "charitable" gifts ought to be anonymous and involve more than just money. To that end he selflessly made 245 donations of whole blood, plasma, and platelets before ill health made him an ineligible donor. In Kingston, Toronto and Sudbury he also laboured behind the scenes as a publicist, volunteer recruiter and fund raiser for the Red Cross, Lions Clubs, Young Men's Christian Association, and Boys Clubs. He served as President of Corporate Communicators Canada, an executive in its Toronto chapter, and founder of its Northern Ontario chapter, and was a founder of the International Association of Business Communicators. Bill was the first elected Secretary General of the International Bowling Association, and with Rozanne, officiated at the first two International Bowling Association World Championships, in Manila in the Philippines, and then in Scarborough. An early booster of the government-developed National Coaching Certification Program, Bill criss-crossed Ontario for several years teaching Technical courses to bowlers, and Theory courses to coaches involved in a wide variety of amateur sports. In 1996, he was finally inducted to the 5 Pin Bowling Hall of Fame. In lieu of flowers, and in appreciation of the excellent care both Bill and Rozanne received there, the family requests donations in his memory be made instead to the Centenary Site, Rouge Valley Health System Foundation, 2867 Ellesmere Road, Scarborough, M1E 4B9.

Marion WEYER, 87: A secret life
Marion WEYER joined the Royal Air Force and served in Kingston for three years during World War 2.
By Catherine DUNPHY, Obituary Writer
Marion WEYER had a secret. Only a few people knew it; no one else suspected it.
The 25-year Imperial Oil employee -- an accounting clerk, the kind of employee considered the bedrock of a company -- retired in 1982 with a pension based on an annual salary of $22,000.
Hers seemed an ordinary life: WEYER was single, always well turned out, and happy and independent in her Thorncliffe Park apartment. She was something of a hotshot in Esso's bowling league for retirees, a crossword puzzle aficionado, an avid reader and for years drove about town in a Volkswagen Beetle. She was a handsome woman, poised and tall with a proud carriage.
Her secret was born September 29, 1956, when WEYER was 37. It was a common enough story of that straitlaced time -- a hushed, hidden pregnancy, because the father of Mary Ann Constance was WEYER's boss, a man 10 years her junior on his way up who was single but had no intention of marrying her.
Social history records kept by the Catholic children's aid only hint at WEYER's anguish: "Birth mother was very concerned about the baby and took several months to make up her mind to place an adoption. She visited the baby regularly and really wanted to keep her but eventually said it was not possible. She kept in touch with the birth father and possibly hoped for marriage. He was not interested and told her she should place her for adoption."
In those days -- just 50 years ago -- the birth mother had to appear in court and physically hand the baby over to the adoptive parents. It was the saddest day in WEYER's life -- and she went through it alone.
"As far as I know, my dad and Uncle Jack would have done nothing but give her hell, but I think she thought she was letting the family down. Fifty years ago, this was something terrible," said Joan WEYER, a mother of eight who kept her aunt's secret for close to 40 years.
They had been sitting together in the dining room of the Peterborough home of Jack WEYER, Marion's eldest brother, the family patriarch after the death of their Irish Catholic parents, when Joan's two little girls came running in from the backyard and climbed up onto both women's laps. "[Marion] said to me, 'You know, Joanie, I had a little girl' and I didn't know what she meant. I thought she meant she had passed away, but then she said she had given her up for adoption."
Marion WEYER was the baby in a family with three protective older brothers, growing up in a town where the girls coming home from convent school had to walk on the opposite side of the street from the boys. She left Peterborough when she joined the Royal Air Force, and served in Kingston for three years before taking a job in a finance company after the war.
It was there she met her child's father, and it was then that her family went three years without seeing her. The family assumed she was busy with her life in Toronto. Her goddaughter and niece, Jeanne D'ERAMO, who is Joan WEYER's sister, often spent a week in the summer with her glamorous aunt. "We were very close," D'ERAMO said.
But she was shocked the day in 1990 when she dropped by her aunt's home. "As soon as I opened the door, she could hardly wait to tell me the news," D'ERAMO recalled. "Connie had sent her a note. She showed me her photo. I was amazed." It was the only time WEYER opened up about her daughter.
Connie REEVE had registered with the adoption agency to locate her birth mother in 1982 while still an articling law student. At that time, both parties had to register before the agency would turn over information, and WEYER hadn't registered. In 1990, after the disclosure rules were loosened, REEVE was told her birth mother's name.
They▲ exchanged notes and photos. Then, on April 18, REEVE phoned WEYER. They met for lunch at the Inn on the Park -- it was awkward and fascinating, REEVE recalled. She didn't look like her birth mother -- different height, build and eye colour. "It is strangers getting to know one another," she said.
REEVE had been raised as one of three adopted children in a loving family in Thornhill. "There are adoptees who are resentful," she said. "I never felt that. I felt welcomed and special. I never had to get over feelings of abandonment. Marion visited me (as a baby). It's not like I didn't have someone to care for me."
They forged a Friendship, phoning, going out to dinner, spending every Christmas Eve together. WEYER refused to come to the Christmas celebrations of REEVE's adoptive family, but the two mothers once met over lunch. REEVE's adoptive mother had made a photo book for WEYER, who had only one 1958 photo of her daughter.
But WEYER was as private with REEVE as with her own family. She ducked the issue when REEVE asked if she would tell her family about her. As for REEVE's birth father, WEYER said she cut any contact -- and cut his likeness out of her photos -- when he refused to see his baby. Only after knowing REEVE for five years did she tell her his name.
"Marion never expressed her emotions in plain language," REEVE said, "but she wanted to keep contact with me."
It was REEVE who found WEYER collapsed in her apartment this fall after being unable to reach her by phone. And it was REEVE who was with her the night before she died in hospital of a bleeding gastric ulcer November 2, at age 87. The nurses said WEYER's heartbeat always improved when REEVE visited.
REEVE had to go through WEYER's phone book to locate the family to tell them about the death. Two weeks after WEYER died, many of them met REEVE for the first time at a Peterborough cemetery.
"I would have introduced her to every relative I have," said Joan WEYER. " She is certainly someone to be proud of."
"Her family were welcoming and seemed really nice. I don't know why she wouldn't have told them all," said REEVE.
In clearing out WEYER's effects, she discovered Marion had kept every card from the bouquets REEVE had sent for the past 15 Mother's Days.
"That's the whole thing about secrets. They get bigger and bigger over time."
