Henry KOCK, 53: Consummate tree hugger
Horticulturalist instrumental in saving the elm
His own garden a testament to his passion for nature
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
It's difficult to think of someone 6-foot-4 as a wood sprite,
but that was Henry
KOCK. Or perhaps he was better catalogued
as our very own Johnny Appleseed -- only the seeds he was spreading
belonged to the majestic elm, whose distinctive silhouette is
reappearing throughout the province thanks to him.
He was the public face of the University of Guelph's Arboretum
and what a face that was. Normally staid journalists would
wax poetic after encounters with the
KOCK charisma: "With eyes
the colour of dark moss, a graying black beard that birds could
nest in, and a tall angular body, he reminded me of the Green
Man, the pagan god of woodlands," the Toronto Star's Cameron
SMITH wrote in 1998.
KOCK could enchant. His seasonal pruning courses were always
sold out. His slide-show presentations -- culled from the tens
of thousands of slides he'd taken and which he gave to any group
that asked for them -- were inspirational.
"He was such a talented communicator. People would leave the
show in tears," said Dave
MARTIN,
KOCK's brother-in-law and energy
co-ordinator of Greenpeace.
KOCK made it easy to believe -- as he did -- that nature is often
better left alone, our native plants are glorious species, pesticides
kill, suburban lawns are an aberration -- he used to call them
"intensive care units" -- and most of all, that nothing exists
in isolation.
It's why he demonstrated with his homemade signs against the
war in Iraq and attended every International Women's Day march
in Toronto for the past 15 years, traditionally toasting that
day's end sharing a bottle of wine with his wife, Anne
HANSEN,
on the Toronto Islands.
In addition to creating the Elm Recovery Project, he founded
Guelph's Hillside Folk Festival, he helped start its local food
co-op, the Guelph Environmental Watchdog group and the local
branch of the Peace Petition caravan campaign. He was on the
board of the Ontario Public Research Group. It was his idea to
have the university host an annual organic food conference that
has become the most important in Canada, if not North America.
KOCK, along with
HANSEN, was a vegetarian, car-free, bought second-hand
and only when necessary, and washed and reused plastic bags.
Their home in an older Guelph suburb was kept at a sweater temperature
but was known throughout town for its traffic-stopping front
garden of conifers and ferns and wild strawberry cover, the sunflowers
that lined the road, the old bicycle tube that hung from the
branch of a tree. There wasn't an inch of grass, but there were
some 400 species of native plants and trees.
KOCK called it his "hotel of the trees" and used to say it was
a "bed and breakfast" for the 75 species of birds that visited
his yard. He created his own forest in the backyard with rain
water collected in barrels, a pond he and
MARTIN spent four days
digging out, and an old submerged bathtub he and Hansen would
loll in on hot summer days.
But KOCK was running out of time. He had been diagnosed in July
2004, with glioblastoma multiforme, a particularly virulent form
of brain cancer, and although he left the Arboretum, for the
next 16 months he saw Friends, hiked with
HANSEN, took his annual
birding trip and rode his bicycle to Guelph's Saturday farmers'
market. He spent his last month in hospital tended to by family
and Friends. On December 22, about 70 of them gathered in the
cold outside his second-floor window to sing Christmas carols.
KOCK was 53 when he died Christmas morning. His family placed
an elm wreath on his chest.
HANSEN covered him with paper hearts
and threaded cedar, rosemary sprigs and paperwhites throughout
his great beard. They rented the biggest hall in town, but it
couldn't accommodate all of the 600 people who showed up for
his memorial service.
An article in the Guelph Mercury two days after his death noted
that KOCK "managed to touch thousands of lives locally and across
Canada through his efforts to protect the environment." The same
paper had published an earlier editorial about
KOCK, entitled
"The city will not forget."
He was born in Canada's chemical valley -- in Bright's Grove,
outside Sarnia -- into a family that had run nurseries in Holland
for generations. His pacifist parents came to Canada in 1950
after surviving wartime occupation, eventually starting a nursery.
"Henry would say it was in his blood," said Dave
MARTIN, who
married KOCK's sister Irene, who died four years ago in a car
accident.
KOCK graduated from the University of Guelph in 1977, but he
didn't want to work in the family business -- or in any nursery
for that matter. He'd already started taking a machinist's course
when then Arboretum curator John
AMBROSE hired him in 1981 to
be a technician.
"I had heard about him,"
AMBROSE recalled. "I knew he had a different
outlook on everything, but it was more than that. He was a special
person. Any time you started talking to Henry about something,
it was always connected to a bigger Earth issue."
Said his sister, Helen
RYKENS, "
Trees were his passion and he
could run courses that promoted gardening he felt was better
for the planet."
KOCK's idea of recreation was hiking, camping and white-water
rafting, and it was on an Algonquin camping trip that he met
HANSEN.
"He was wearing mismatched shoes and so was I and we both noticed
it," she recalled. "Within 24 hours, we knew we were partners."
HANSEN continued to live and work in Toronto, moving permanently
to Guelph only after
KOCK's diagnosis.
She is organizing a springtime bike ride for
KOCK, during which
she will bring home his ashes.
"I'm going to return some of them to the trees he nurtured and
who nurtured him during his illness," she said. Others will be
scattered in the wilderness.
Then there will be a party for him in their backyard. " I'm going
to make as big a deal as I can out of this because I think Henry
would approve of people eating and drinking and enjoying his
backyard."
