It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dorothy FARQUHARSON, 85, of Guelph on February 7, 2006. Dorothy's characteristic voice, love of colour, appreciation of humour, persistent optimism, and vibrant personality endeared her to all.

Farquharson Collection of Canadian Sheet Music is housed at McMaster University and her book, O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing: A History of Early Singing Schools in Canada (1983) documents the social aspect of early Canadian music education. She was well-known for her involvement in local quilting groups and at Chalmers United Church, Guelph in many capacities. She will be dearly missed by her daughter, Louise SPARLING; her daughter-in-law, Grace FARQUHARSON; her four grandchildren, Heather (Chris), Penny (Steve), Amanda, and Brenna; her sister, Mildred (Bob) ARTHUR and her many Friends. She is now reunited with her husband, Donald, and son, Charles. Her life will be celebrated at a memorial service on Thursday, February 23, at 2: 00 p.m. at Wall-Custance Funeral Home and Chapel, 206 Norfolk Street, Guelph.

SPAULDING o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2006-06-27 published
COMAN, Alan Charles
By Sherry COMAN, Page A16
Shakespearean scholar, pianist, soccer fan. Born April 8, 1934, in London, England. Died February 7 in Toronto of heart failure, aged 71.
In the early 1970s, Alan COMAN had a study built over the garage of his suburban house. In time, that modest room grew into an oasis whose walls became crowded with shelves of books. Since his death in February, it has been silent.
He was born in London, England; then, with his older sister Agnes and brother George, went to live in Liverpool. All three children were moved when the Second World War started. Through accident, circumstance and plain bad luck, he lost contact with or suffered the death of nearly everyone in his life before he was 6. These humble beginnings never left him, but he rarely talked about them.
Growing up later in Cheshire, he was an award-winning boy soprano in his parish church choir. His Friends remember him as a joking prankster with a passion for the Liverpool Football Club. In 1955, while attending the University of Edinburgh, he met Carolyn SPAULDING, an American college junior taking a year abroad. He often said that his first reaction was "That's the woman I will marry." His pickup line, however, was more typical of his disarming style. Approaching her, he said, "I see you have been noticing me." They were married in 1957 in Philadelphia and settled in Canada. Children Sherry, Philip and David followed.
Teaching English at Toronto's Victoria Park and Earl Haig Secondary schools provided a context for his natural inclination to the arts. Teaching also awakened his passion for Shakespeare. In later years, as professor of English at the University of Toronto, he pursued a personal quest for the true identity of Shakespeare. His knowledge of Shakespeare was so deeply interwoven into his psyche that he was capable of any kind of quotation in any kind of circumstance. (In the 1980s, he taught summer courses at Oxford University, perhaps among the happiest times of his life.)
He was an accomplished pianist and the unspoken, complex tragedies of his childhood were perhaps worked out in the melancholy, expressive way he played Chopin or Schubert or the lesser known work of 19th and 20th century composers. For a while he was board chair for the Orford String Quartet and occasionally played privately with them.
He was a man of great fun: he could jive to the Beatles while washing the car, enjoy someone else's practical joke and tell it with glee, and see quickly the absurdity of a situation and laugh at it. He loved to fete others, would drive miles to find the right gift, was good at surprises. But he was not easy: his challenging childhood made him a complex man of many moods and his family learned to navigate them carefully. He could inspire fear of judgment but also had an inexhaustible ability to affirm and encourage the gifts of others.
He could be an intensely private man, who drove an hour north on Sunday mornings to commune privately with his God. His five-month struggle to manage intense pain caused by undiscovered cancer was borne in the most quiet and dignified way. His sudden death from heart failure, on the morning he was to be admitted to Princess Margaret Hospital, came as a surprise to many.
The short-wave radio he used to listen to Liverpool football games on Saturday mornings still sits next to his big chair. The wiring apparatus, strung up along the adjacent shelves, passes over the Shakespearean scholarship, by the complete sets of Dickens and Scott, overtop the Canadian literature. It finally exits the room at the corner, disappearing into the cosmos. It's nice to think he may now be at the other end of it, silently participating in the wave at Liverpool's Kop, where his life once began.
Sherry is Alan's daughter.
