Gordon▼ (1910-2006)
It is with sadness that we announce the death of Gordon on April 15th,
2006 at his home. Gordon was a self-taught Expressionist painter.
Formerly a lawyer, Gordon experimented with some drawing and
painting in his spare time and found it deeply satisfying. It
was partly as a result of the War - World War 2 - not the Boer
War, feeling the army was as close as one wants to getting incarcerated,
that his attention began to be pulled more and more towards painting.
Gordon resigned from the bar in 1954 and concentrated fully on
the artist within, finding his 'voice' and feeling great conviction
and passion through his painting. Friends and family are invited
to visit Gordon one last time at his beloved Studio Building,
25 Severn Street, on Monday April 17th from 4: 00-9:00 p.m. and
Tuesday April 18th from 10: 00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. Flowers are gratefully
declined. Memorial donations to Casey House or the Fred Victor

William LAZENBY:
Mayor of Richmond Hill
Ran for office to help get streets paved
A pharmacist, he delivered even at night
By San GREWAL,
Staff
Reporter
William Charles
LAZENBY, a former mayor of Richmond Hill, entered
politics for one reason: To get the roads in his budding community
paved so families wouldn't have to walk through the mud.
He moved to the town in the late '50s, when much of what is now
the heart of Richmond Hill was just being developed.
LAZENBY
quickly fell in love with the tight-knit community and wanted
other residents to feel equally proud of the place where they
lived.
"He just didn't have enough hours in the day to do all the things
he wanted to do," said Evelyn
LAZENBY, his wife of 54 years.
LAZENBY died last week of a heart attack.
After opening Allencourt Pharmacy in 1959, the University of
Toronto pharmacy school graduate juggled his business with his
political career and decades of community service.
"He loved his customers at the pharmacy," his wife said. "They
were like an extended family to him."
Sending flowers to widows on Valentine's Day and attending all
of his customers' funerals were just some of the acts that endeared
LAZENBY to the thousands of people who stepped through his door.
"I was one of his first customers," said Patrick
McNAMARA, who
moved to Richmond Hill in 1958.
"If you were sick or your family was sick, no matter what the
time was, Bill would get you your medicine."
Other long-time customers spoke of receiving baby formula from
LAZENBY after running out in the middle of the night.
Evelyn LAZENBY recalled a trip to a summer camp just a couple
of months ago to deliver much-needed medicine.
His children, daughters Carolynne and Christine and son Bill,
said their father received offers from large chains for his pharmacy.
"He wasn't interested in the money," his son said. "He wanted
a pharmacy that felt like one in a small-town community."
His father was elected as councillor in 1964, served for six
years, then became mayor from 1970 to 1974. He was also very
active in community public service as a volunteer for numerous
organizations. In 1983, he and his wife were named Richmond Hill
citizens of the year.
"The reason he entered politics was because he saw all the young
mothers pushing their kids through the mud and snow," his wife
said. "I pushed Christine down what's Bayview now and held Carolynne
in my arms. It was terrible."
The three siblings talk about the development taking place now,
explaining how their father cautioned against growth that wasn't
planned properly.
"He was a big defender of green spaces and parks," Bill
LAZENBY
said. "I don't think he would like a lot of what's happening
now. He was all about proper planning for the community, so people
would be happy."
