LYALL,
Carol (née
DUCE,) B.Sc., R.N.
Born August 9, 1936, died at the Palliative Care Unit of Princess
Margaret Hospital, February 9, 2006 after a long struggle with
cancer, with active treatment for the past eight years and knowledge
of the diagnosis for the past 13 years. She remained active and
involved until recent weeks and did her best not to let the disease
ever control her life. Carol leaves a great sense of admiration
and affection in her children, Catherine, David and Michael and
their respective spouses, Jim
MacDOUGALL,
Michelle
WELSH and
Cynthia NEWTON.
She leaves memories of fun, cookies, and swims
in the river for her grandchildren Asenia (5), Tyama (5) and
Jorin (3). She leaves a hole in the heart of her husband Alan,
and a tremendous sense of awe, love and gratitude that he was
lucky enough to share her life for 53 years. She is also survived
by her admiring brothers Bill and Dennis
DUCE, and Dennis' wife
Debbie. Carol innovated, designed and delivered a course in Adolescent
Awareness which she taught freelance to coeducational classes
of students in grades 6, 7 and 8 and was accepted and admired
by students, teachers and parents for 25 years. Carol personified
assertive behaviour and lived by her credo which was "It does
not make things better to make things worse" and whenever she
lent talents, things got better, often without people even realizing
that her courageous stance and nice approach had influenced a
whole social system. Carol made things better and enriched the
lives of all who knew her. Friends may call at the Morley Bedford
Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Ave. West, Toronto (2 stoplights west
of Yonge Street), on Tuesday, February 14th, from 10 a.m. until

John BARRY, 74: Wine, women and a hint of danger
Tavern owner was the life of the party
But he also kept a gun under his pillow
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
There are so many stories about John
BARRY that you think they
all can't be true. And maybe they aren't, but they could be --
and that, in the end, is the whole point of knowing somebody
like him.
His life was the stuff of movies -- the slick, finger-snapping
movies of the past, where the drinks flowed and the smoke from
the ever-present cigarettes rose, Bogey style, in smooth concentric
circles from the corner of the mouth. The women were broads,
showpieces in tight skirts and tighter angora sweaters; the men
sat at their regular tables, doing deals, not all of them legal,
as the sax player wailed.
But this was no celluloid romp with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin,
Sammy Davis, Jr. and the rest of the rat-pack reprobates. This
was all happening in Toronto, at John Duck's Tavern, an Etobicoke
watering hole by the lake since 1866, when ex-British soldier
John DUCK opened an inn for stagecoach traffic.
After BARRY bought the place in 1963, it became a clubhouse for
men who, like
BARRY, preferred to sit with their backs to the
wall. Bikers came there; so did off-duty cops. There were days
the parking lot was filled with cars bearing Michigan licence
plates, belonging to the men in thousand-dollar suits up from
Detroit for business meetings in
BARRY's upstairs office.
Aulden GELDART was the John Duck bouncer and club manager for
16 years. At 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, he had the bulk and chops
to be able to evict a whole posse of Vagabond bikers from the
place. But he said he hated that his boss often packed a gun.
"John always carried a semi-automatic, always in the back of
his belt, and when he went to bed at night it was under his pillow,"
he said.
For safety,
BARRY had underground parking for his Caddy; he also
had a pair of dogs -- variously described as Doberman, American
bull terrier or Bouvier, but big dogs, at least 150 pounds each,
GELDART said -- that cost him $1,200 each. Most remember one
called Boomer.
There were always whispers
BARRY might have been a made man,
a wise guy, even a hit man.
GELDART said there were plenty of
Toronto cops "after"
BARRY, but his ex-boss was too smart for
them. Former police chief William
McCORMACK was a homicide investigator
in those days and he said he'd remember if
BARRY were involved
in anything illegal. He doesn't, so it's likely
BARRY wasn't.
"I always thought that talk was a lot of bulls -- -," said Rory
ROBERTSON, who tended bar between 1969 and 1972. "But John knew
a lot of people and I used to think some of them were rounders."
The only thing that most of his Friends and customers cared about
was that BARRY -- who died November 12 at the age of 74 -- was
a charming guy, a fun guy, the ultimate party guy.
He was a regular at Bardi's Steak House downtown. After hours,
he and his boys would take over a private room at Gatsby's on
Church St. Every night, it was red wine, and rum and Coke. Every
night, it was steak, rare, with a side order of mushrooms. Every
night, no one else ever got to pick up the cheque. Maybe that's
why someone dubbed him "the old guy," but he liked it and the
moniker stuck, even though he was only seven years older than
ROBERTSON.
With his wife May and three children safely stashed away in Brampton,
BARRY lived upstairs at John Duck's, also the scene of many a
party.
"It was a typical bachelor pad," said his daughter Shandra
BARRY.
"Black leather. Red carpet. Party Central. It was his private
club. The joke was that if the apartment door was locked, you
don't knock, you don't interrupt the party going on inside."
Women loved him -- not just because he was movie-star handsome
and charming and had that glint in his eye, but also because
he was a lover who listened as if they were the only person in
the world.
The man was charismatic, a great host who transformed the Humber
House -- the name of the tavern when
BARRY bought it -- into
a modern-day legend, the watering hole of celebrities, including
CFRB's long-time morning man, Wally
CROUTER, country musician
Gordie Tapp and the star athletes of the day. The Argos were
regulars; so was coach Leo Cahill and three Miami Dolphins players
he lured north to a new football league he tried to start, a
couple of boxing champs and some Leafs.
The place was known for its Saturday jazz. "If you weren't inside
by noon, you couldn't get a seat,"
ROBERTSON said. The late and
hard-living Toronto Sun columnist, Paul
RIMSTEAD, often sat at
the drums; Diamond Lil from the Skyline Hotel would belt out
the songs.
One day
ROBERTSON noticed three guys coming in the door who turned
out to be members of The Drifters, of Under the Boardwalk fame,
and they did a turn at the mike.
"I don't know how much John knew about music, but he liked the
way we talked, acted and the atmosphere we created. He liked
fun. He wanted to be around, laughing and scratching, baby,"
said Bruce
JAMES, who used to play the sax on those Saturday
afternoons.
BARRY was born into one of the leading families of Sudbury; his
father was in real estate and politics, made and lost three fortunes
and died a very wealthy man, according to Jonquil
FURSE,
BARRY's
sister. When
BARRY was about 10 years old, he decided he didn't
like attending Scollard Hall, a private school in North Bay,
so he hired a taxi to take him home to Sudbury. His father paid
the bill.
"John was very electric,"
FURSE said. "He was a chameleon, into
everything, then off."
He was also her favourite brother, who took her fiancé, George
FURSE, aside the day they were to be married in a very haute
Westmount ceremony and told the astonished groom that if he ever
laid a hand on his favourite baby sister, he'd "bust me up bad."
"He was very Runyonesque," George
FURSE said, recalling how
BARRY
then pulled out a massive roll of money -- "I'd never seen that
before except in the movies" -- and counted out four $100 bills
from the top. "This oughta help you on the honeymoon," he barked.
"He was playing the part," his sister insisted.
After short stints in Sudbury as a miner and owner-operator of
a gas station,
BARRY hit the States, where his family believes
he worked as a boxing promoter and a front man booking gigs for
black singers and groups.
Later he owned a Mimico film studio, a limousine company and
the company that booked all of the big acts into the Canadian
National Exhibition's Grandstand shows.
His daughter Shandra said she remembers being driven in one of
her father's limos to meet The Monkees backstage; other acts
he brought to Toronto included Sonny and Cher, Red Skelton, Bob
Hope, The Jackson Five, The Osmonds and Johnny Cash.
BARRY never stopped making deals. For awhile he owned a gold
mine in British Columbia and a company called Iomech Ltd., and
held patents for various water purification systems. Every Sunday,
when he would drive to Brampton to see his family, he'd take
them out for a drive to look at the latest country estate or
property he was going to move them to.
"My mother just laughed. Every week it was a new place, a new
deal," Shandra said. "He was the wildest ride in the amusement
park."
All three children came to work at John Duck's after their mother
died in 1979, and Shandra and her brother Jon were there March
5, 1988, when the party ended and
BARRY closed the doors for
the last time.
"He had it for 25 years; it was a huge part of his life," she
said. "It was like a death in the family."
BARRY subsequently lived in several lofts around town, cutting
out smoking and cutting down his drinking in later years, but
he was diagnosed with esophagal cancer about a year ago. He didn't
want people to know he was sick, and when he was hospitalized
he didn't want people to visit him. Many did anyway.
His family is erecting a gravestone with the words "The Old Guy"
and his favourite saying: "When I was here, I was here."

DUCKETT,
Ida
In loving memory of a dear grandmother, great-grandmother and
friend, Ida, who passed away February 2, 2002.
You did so many things for us,
Your heart was kind and true, and
When we needed someone,
We could always count on you.
The special years will not return,
When we were all together,
But with the love within our hearts,
You will walk with us forever.
-Sadly missed by Kevin, Debbie, Benjamin, Tyler, Nicole, Dale

year. Loving husband of fifty-five years to the late Elizabeth
Ruth DUCLOS, devoted Father of Joan (Edward (Ted)
FLETCHER) and
loving Grandpa of Joanne (Derek
KENT) and Lynn (Zachary
CURRY.)
Twin brother to the late Elizabeth
PIBUS
(Raymond
PIBUS) and
brother to the late Margaret
WALKER.
The
son of Robert Christopher
HANNAN and Laura
CLARKSON,
Bob was born in Montreal where he
lived his entire life, raising his family in Hampstead. He worked
as a bond trader before assuming the leadership role with the
C.A. Duclos Leather Company, where he worked until his retirement
in 1975. In addition to being an astute investor and successful
businessman, Bob was a lively sports enthusiast and lived spending
time outdoors. He was a highly skilled fly fisherman and enjoyed
many years of annual fishing trips with his Friends. Being one
of the few men in the group to tie his own flies, he would arrive
at the camp every year with an abundant supply of hand-tied flies
for everyone. Bob was also an avid skier, and was one of the
founding members of the J.B. Ski Club at Mont Tremblant. A life
long golfer, Bob was an Honorary Member and past Director of
The Royal Montreal Golf Club, where he played many memorable
rounds with Friends and family over a period of more than 50 years.
While he loved the challenge of the game, it was his respect
for the game's traditions and camaraderie that truly fueled his
passion. As a past Governor of the Royal Canadian Golf Association,
a member of the Canadian Senior Golf Association and the American
Senior Golf Association, his zeal for the game took him to many
of the world's greatest golf courses. Music was also a passion
of Bob's. From his early days of singing in the choir at The
Church of the Advent in Westmount and playing the clarinet in
the Westmount High School band, you could always catch Bob whistling
a tune or tapping his foot to a song he had running through his
head. Bob's story telling was legendary - he could always be
counted on to enliven a dinner party, a fishing trip or a drink
in the 19th hole with one of his memorable jokes. Some of his
stories were classics; and although he had told them over and
over, his captivating personality, animated delivery, irrepressible
sense of humour and wonderful laugh captured the moment. Amongst
Bob's greatest attributes were his positive and optimistic approach
to life and his ability to make Friends wherever he went. He
will be lovingly remembered by all those who had the pleasure
of knowing him for his upbeat attitude, his loyalty and strength
of character, his straightforward, common-sense approach, his
unassuming demeanor and his unwavering ability to live life to
the fullest. In this regard, he was an inspiration to his family
and Friends. During his last few years, Bob faced the difficulties
of dementia with loving support from his family and the caring
staff at the Griffith McConnell Residence. He was a truly exceptional
person and he will be greatly missed by all. My life's been full,
I've savored much, Good Friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with
undo grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted
me now, he set me free. A private family service will be held.
Donations in Bob's memory to The Pat Fletcher Golf Foundation,
2315 Cohen, St. Laurent, Quebec. H4R 2N7 would be greatly appreciated.
