'Horrific scene'
Officers say a collision that killed three people on the 401
was one of the worst they'd ever seen.
By John HERBERT, Free Press Reporter, Sat., September 23, 2006
Two veteran police officers say a crash on Highway 401 east of
Woodstock that killed three people on Thursday night was one
of the worst they have ever seen.
"It certainly was a horrific scene," said Const. Dennis
HARWOOD,
a 32-year member of the Ontario Provincial Police.
Sgt. Dave REKTOR said the collision involving three transport
trucks, a sport utility vehicle and a car ranks as one of the
worst he's seen because of the three deaths and the severity
of damage to the vehicles.
"Whenever you see vehicles torn apart like last night, it causes
you to take a step back and ponder about the severity of these
types of crashes," he said yesterday.
The crash at about 10 p.m. in the eastbound lanes four kilometres
east of the Drumbo exit reduced the sport utility vehicle to
a "crumpled ball of metal,"
REKTOR said.
Ontario Provincial Police identified the dead as:
• Lawrence Richard
BYRNE, 28, of R.R.#2, Belle River, the sport
utility vehicle driver.
• Nachtar Singh
CHOHAN, 42, of Quebec, one of the truck drivers.
• Bruno
MAMBELLA, 45, of Kitchener, the car driver.
sport utility vehicle passenger Laura Marie
CAMPBELL, 25, of
Chatham, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Truck drivers Gary
BERENOSE, 63, of Dundas, and Marc
BERNIER,
42, of Quebec, were involved in the pileup, but unhurt, police
said.
Police closed the stretch of Highway 401 until about 10 a.m.
yesterday.
The carnage
HARWOOD and other police and emergency personal witnessed
was difficult to stomach, he said. "There was a very, very sombre
mood among police and emergency people."
HARWOOD would not speculate on whether there would be charges
or on the cause of the crash, adding that would be determined
by the Ontario Provincial Police highway enforcement action team.
Investigators were continuing to evaluate the evidence gathered
from the crash scene and had not determined a cause, he said.
The crash occurred in a construction zone,
HARWOOD said.
Will ROE and Sirous
HOUSHMAND were among the first people to
arrive on the scene.
"We went up to help, but there wasn't much we could do," said
ROE, who was heading to Guelph.
He said the passenger in the sport utility vehicle was waving
her hand for help.
"The lady was alive and talking," he said.
The two men approached the car involved in the crash and found
the driver unconscious. He was travelling alone, police said.
"We tried talking to him," said
HOUSHMAND.
Plattsville, Drumbo and Princeton fire departments responded
to the crash along with Ontario Provincial Police from Brant,
Oxford and Cambridge detachments.

Died peacefully at René Goupil House (Jesuit Infirmary, Pickering,

son of Thomas
and Mabel
(ROBERTSON)
BYRNE, was born in Pakenham, Ontario, on
October 27, 1923. Dan was raised in a foster home, that of the
FARRELL family to whom he always remained close. He is predeceased
by his brother John, his sisters Elizabeth, Margaret (Latham),
Mary (O'CALLAGHAN.) He is mourned by Jesuit brothers, his brother-in-law
George LATHAM, and by his nephews and nieces. He joined the Society
of Jesus in 1961, and for most of his life as a Jesuit managed
a number of Jesuit houses, normally serving as buyer and cook.
His longest assignment was at the residence of the Jesuit Provincial
Superior from 1975 to 2006, where he made many Friends from around
the world. He moved to René Goupil House, the Jesuit Infirmary,
less than a month ago. Friends may call at the Rosar-Morrison

By J.P. HORRIGAN,
Page
A18
Chauffeur, Jesuit Brother, cook. Born October 27, 1923, in Pakenham,
Ontario Died September 15 in Pickering, Ontario, of melanoma,
aged 82.
Dan was the equivalent of Hudson from the 1970s television series,
Upstairs, Downstairs.
The youngest child of Thomas and Mabel
(ROBERTSON)
BYRNE,
Dan
grew up in the Ottawa Valley. Scarcely a month old, Dan lost
his mother; some years later, his father. Dan was raised by a
neighbour woman, "Mother Farrell" and her two youngest Aileen
and Vera (the Farrell family had 11 children). Three sisters,
Elizabeth, Margaret and Mary, were taken by the Grey Nuns in
Ottawa. The eldest, John, remained at home. Dan often recounted
John's departure: He "disappeared" leaving behind a note on the
kitchen table addressed "to whom it may concern." That was the
last Dan heard of his brother till the war office announced his
death in Europe.
Intellectually gifted, Dan enjoyed reading, drama, theatre, opera
and history. Poverty necessitated a paying job, as a projectionist,
at age 16. Dan, never at ease with things mechanical, learned
how to drive on the country roads of Pakenham.
The Depression left a deep mark on Dan. He took to calling himself
"Brother Pinchpenny." During one winter storm, the wind snatched
a $50 bill from his grasp. The following spring there was not
a snow bank in the neighbourhood that escaped his inspection.
Yet, shortly before his death, someone gave him a gift of $100
instead of treating himself, Dan gave it to the Food Bank.
When he arrived in Toronto, he applied for and got a job as a
chauffeur and "Hudson" to a wealthy man. Things got off to a
bad start: One of his first driving assignments was to drive
from downtown Toronto up the steep hills of Avenue Road in rush
hour -- in the days before automatic transmissions. Poor Dan's
chauffeuring career almost came to a crashing halt as he sweated
his way up the slopes in the heavy traffic, offering up many
a Hail Mary with each stop. Dan's prayers were heard; he managed
to manoeuvre through the traffic that first night and for the
next 20 years he served as a chauffeur.
Dan was ever-loyal to his family, the Farrells, his many Friends
and his Jesuit community. His Catholic faith was everything throughout
his life: Dan wanted to serve. The service of raising a family
did not draw him so much as a life of service to the church.
In 1961 he arrived at Guelph to join as a lay brother (brothers
choose to serve in non-ordained roles). For the next 45 years
Dan became "Hudson" to seven Jesuit Provincials: taking care
of the kitchen, the housecleaning, hospitality and chauffeuring&hellip
and a solid sip of sherry before dinner.
Shy and introverted by nature, Dan related graciously with the
neighbours along the streets where he lived in west Toronto.
Once an elderly neighbour called the police to discipline two
five-year-olds gleefully enjoying the March winds blowing the
contents of a feather pillow onto his lawn. Dan smoothed the
ruffled feathers of the old man, restoring order without police
intervention.
Each day began, during those 45 Jesuit years, with Dan at Massachusetts.
I recall once Dan was the reader. As he read out the passage
"Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged", Dan broke down, his
copious tears a tender witness to his vivid imagination.
Late this past July Dan took seriously ill. He hated going to
the doctor. The diagnosis was swift and final: cancer. The melanoma
had spread to several parts of the body. At 82, Dan chose not
to have treatment: His service was done, the final glide path
had begun, palliative care was in order. Dan died early in the
morning -- a man of service, fully at peace -- a "brother" whose
life touched deeply all who knew him.
J.P. HORRIGAN is a friend of Dan

Mary (neé
COPELAND)
"Queen Wyn" as she was so affectionately known, renounced her
duties to the commonwealth and her family and Friends for the last
time on Wednesday, December 13, 2006. As the youngest of three
girls to the Copeland family born in Manchester in 1923, Wyn's
education began in earnest at secretarial school in 1937 at the
tender age of 14. On the heels of her first job, World War 2
arrived giving the indomitable Wyn the chance to show her true
colours of determination and persistence while living through
the Blitz. During this time, Wyn ploughed on and unearthed a
rare gem for herself in 1945 when she met her Dear Abbey. In
1948, following a year of marriage, Wyn and Abbey began the first
of a series of postings in Canada and the United Kingdom before
settling in Burlington in 1967. While raising her 3 children,
Wyn worked for the next 30 years at White Oaks Secondary School
where she met and retained lasting Friendships with so many colleagues.
Wyn's loyalty to family and Friends was second to none. The indelible
memories of these fine characteristics have left a lasting imprint
on her children, their children and everyone who had the benefit
of being welcomed into Wyn's heart. Wyn's special love and focus
was always her family. Wyn was the cherished daughter of Dora
and Theodore and sister to Eva and Vera. Her greatest love Abbey
was lost to us all in 1984. Wyn's ongoing happiness were her
children Carolyn and Ron, Marilyn and Mark and John and Megan and her
beloved grandchildren Clarissa, Bronwyn and Gavin
WHITE/WHYTE and Elliot,
Morgan, Nathan and Siobhan
BYRNE and their mother Helen.
You can shed tears when she is gone, or you can smile because
she lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come
back or open them to see that she has left. You can cry and close
your mind, be empty, turn your back or you can do what she would
want.... smile, open your eyes, love and go on
In memory of Wyn, follow your heart and give something to someone
or something you love or the family would welcome donations to
the Neurosurgery Unit - Hamilton General Hospital. Following
a private burial, the family welcome all to attend a celebration
of this great lady at 4: 00 p.m. on Monday, December 18 at the
Burlington Golf and Country Club, 422 North Shore Blvd. East. Arrangements

FOLEY,
Christopher
Columba
Passed away at home, on Good Friday, April 14, 2006, at the age
of 80, in the High Park neighbourhood where he lived for more
than 40 years. Christopher was born in Kells, County Meath, Ireland
on May 10, 1925. He was the beloved father of Margaret
FOLEY
and devoted husband to his late wife, Anne Teresa, née
CLIFFORD.
He is survived by his loving wife
Marie
Terese, née
BONENFANT.
Christopher was known affectionately as Christy by his wide circle
of Friends, many of whom shared his passion for Irish culture.
His was a life marked by a devotion to those institutions that
nurtured the values he held dear, among them, the Catholic Church,
the St. Vincent de Paul Society and numerous Irish social organizations.
Although he moved away from his native Ireland as a teenager,
Christy carried his roots with him wherever he went. He flew
to Canada in 1948 on one of the early trans-Atlantic flights
in search of greater opportunity. It was in Toronto that his
enterprising spirit rose to the fore. Christy worked for C.N. Rail
and the Royal York Hotel. Saving enough to buy his first home
within six months, Christy turned it into yet another opportunity
- becoming a landlord and giving other young Irish men a roof
over their heads. He worked with the Metro Toronto Waterworks
Department for 30 years and continued a close relationship with
fellow retirees through the rest of his life. Family, work and
his many community activities filled his days. Sickness did nothing
to quell his stubborn streak nor dash his great love of travel.
Christy will be sorely missed and fondly remembered. He leaves
behind his cherished sisters-in-law Margaret
HERRING,
Evelyn
FOLEY and longtime family friend, Mildred
CREGAN. He is also
survived by his loving nephews and nieces and their families:
Ray FOLEY, Ann
PALEN, Brian and Thomas
HEGARTY, Thomas
CARROLL,
Peter, Gerard and Michael
O'LOUGHLIN and Angela
BYRNE.
Christy,
the youngest of six children born to Margaret
SMITH and Thomas
FOLEY, is predeceased by all his siblings, Kathleen, Gerty, May,
Lily and brother Paddy. Special thanks to his doctor, Eckhart
SCHWEIHOFER and Margaret
GORECKI, the home care worker who became
such a good friend. Visitation for our beloved Christy will be
held Tuesday, April 18 and Wednesday, April 19 from 2-4 and 7-
9 p.m. at the Turner and Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor Street
West, Toronto, at Windermere Ave., east of Jane subway. Funeral
Mass will be held Thursday, April 20 at 10: 30 a.m. at Our Lady
of Sorrows Church, 3055 Bloor Street West. In lieu of flowers,
donations in the name of Christopher Foley to the St. Vincent
de Paul Society or ShareLife would be much appreciated.

CARMICHAEL was a legendary figure
By Shawn GIILCK
A Collingwood legend has left us.
Mr.
Collingwood,
William James Scotty'
CARMICHAEL, died last
week at 98. The former soldier, town councillor and sometime
journalist was a tireless, passionate Collingwood advocate to
the end, his daughter Nancy Liotta said.
CARMICHAEL was the eldest of three children. He was born “above
a store on Hurontario Street” August 17, 1908. He first showed
interest in story-telling, Liotta said, at his mother's feet.
The CARMICHAEL family had immigrated to Canada from Ireland in
the 1880s with his grandfather and namesake William.
CARMICHAEL's
mother, Mary Heslip
CARMICHAEL, was also Irish and delighted
in telling stories.
CARMICHAEL was the editor of the Collingwood Collegiate Institute
yearbook, The Gleaner, during his high school years.
As a young man, he edited his own newspaper, but the Great Depression
drove it into closure. For the next several years, Liotta said
CARMICHAEL crisscrossed Canada and the eastern United States
looking for steady work.
He quickly volunteered for military service in 1939 with the
Grey and Simcoe Foresters at the outbreak of World War 2. He
was married the following year to Anne
BYRNES, who died in 1981.
He “never stopped feeling her loss,” Liotta said. She was their
only child.
In 1943 he was finally sent overseas and served as a scout. In
1944 he was injured by a grenade while on a mission. He subsequently
contracted diphtheria from contaminated water and was sent to
England for rehabilitation.
When he returned to Collingwood in 1945 he was appointed to a
job at the post office. He worked there until 1972.
During that time,
CARMICHAEL also worked as a freelance journalist
for the Owen Sound Sun Times newspaper and the Toronto Telegram
until its demise in 1972. After his retirement, he provided numerous
stories to the Enterprise-Bulletin.
Former managing editor Ian
ADAM/ADAMS recalled
CARMICHAEL as an “encyclopaedia&rdquo
of local sports knowledge and trivia.
That was an outgrowth of his long association with local minor
hockey, both as a member of the organization and as a journalist
covering the Collingwood teams. During that time, he also worked
freelance for the
CKCB radio station, where he provided colour
commentary. Up until the early 1990s, he also provided vignettes
to the radio station about local sports history that ran after
the noon news.
“He was a bit of a character,” Liotta said. “He wanted to make
it to 100, and came pretty close.&rdquo
CARMICHAEL also spearheaded the creation of the Collingwood Sports
Hall of Fame in 1974 and was one of the first inductees.
He served as a municipal council member in the 1970s and 80s.
In 1986 he was named the Rotary Citizen of the Year. He was also
a recipient of the Order of Collingwood in the 1970s.
He is survived by his daughter, five grand-children and eight
great-grand-children.
