brothers Ross and Sam of Winnipeg. He is survived by brother
Pepin (Edna) of Barrie, Ontario; his sister Irene (Boyle); numerous
nieces and nephews and his first wife, May
TASCONA.
Tony has
touched the lives of many people across Canada, not only with
his art but with his generosity of spirit and his zest for life.
These attributes and passion for nature were inherited from his
Sicilian parents. Working in the aerospace industry early in
his career fuelled his fascination with experimentation, materials
and precision. He was one of the first artists in Canada to paint
on aluminum, counterbalancing the smooth cool surface and his
geometric imagery with a sophisticated pastel palette. He also
painted on canvas, cast resin sculpture, produced silkscreen
prints, and most recently, ink drawings. Other artists marvelled
at his continuous range of productivity and his ability to make
meaningful relationships with his clients. Only hospitalization
prevented him from working. He received many public commissions
including: the Centennial Concert Hall murals, the Millennium
Library Reading Courtyard sculpture, stabiles in the lobbies
of the Manitoba Law Courts, the St. Boniface Research Hospital
and the Freshwater Institute. Few Canadian artists have been
honoured by a permanent retrospective of their work such as his
at the Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba. The Winnipeg Art
Gallery mounted a retrospective of his 50 year oeuvre in 2001.
He was the only Manitoban included in the 2005 National Gallery
of Canada exhibition, "the 60's in Canada." and earlier this
year the Franco Manitoba Cultural Centre hosted "Transformations"
32 recent drawings, as part of his 80th birthday celebration.
The opening attracted devoted clients and colleagues from across
Canada; the National Gallery's Director Pierre Theberge participated
in the opening ceremonies. Tony was active in the development
of the arts in Canada and he served on the boards of the Royal
Canadian Academy, National Gallery of Canada, The Canadian Conference
of the Arts, The Winnipeg Art Gallery and Carfac Canada. This
contribution and his constant support of Manitoba charities,
in concert with his artistic achievements, garnered him an honorary
LL.D. from the University of Winnipeg in 1994 and the Order of
Canada in 1996. His works can be found in permanent collections
across Canada including the National Gallery of Canada, the Confederation
Centre, the Canada Council Art Bank, The Art Gallery of Ontario,
The Winnipeg Art Gallery, The Glenbow Museum, the Norman Mackenzie
Gallery and the Greater Victoria Art Gallery as well as numerous
corporate and private collections. His archives are held by the
University of Regina and digital images are available at the
Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art Website. A junior baseball
and hockey player, he was inducted into the Manitoba Baseball
Hall of Fame in 2002 and his 1948 Brandon Grays Baseball team
is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend. Following
cremation, a private extended-family memorial service has been
held. Per Tony's request, a wake will be held at a later date.
The public are invited to attend the Tony Tascona Memorial Exhibition
at St. Boniface College in early September, 2006. Memorial donations
may be made to the Tony Tascona Art History Bursary University
of Winnipeg Foundation, University of Winnipeg, Wesley Hall,

GREEN,
Kathy▼ "
Kati▼" (née
KATZ)
By Bonnie GOLDBERG and Adam
ABRAMSON,
Page
A20
Wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, cook. Born December 11,
1925, in Romania. Died April 20 in Toronto, of heart failure,
aged 80.
Kati KATZ was a young girl growing up in Romania with her parents,
baby sister, and two brothers, when the family was tragically
ripped apart by the Holocaust. Of the
KATZ family, only 16-year-old
Kati and her older brother Karchi survived.
But along came Kati's prince. After serving in the Czechoslovakian
army, Jimmy was busy feeding the survivors of the war. As the
story goes, Kati did not have any shoes, so he bought her a pair.
They soon were married, beginning an enduring 61-year love affair.
Kati was a resilient woman. She carried her infant daughter on
her body, across the ravaged terrain of Europe to get to a displaced
persons camp in Naples, Italy, from where they boarded a ship
to Canada. At the Canadian border, Imre, Kati and Marika
GRUEN
became Jimmy, Kathy and Mary
GREEN.
With no English, no prospects
and few contacts, they settled in Toronto. The Fifties were tough
as Jimmy and Kathy struggled to build a life in downtown Toronto,
working hard as dressmakers. In 1958, Kathy gave birth to her
son Sidney, named for Kathy's late father.
The Sixties were a time of prosperity and happiness. Jimmy's
new waste-disposal business was thriving and they had many Friends.
Kathy was reunited with her brother Karchi when he and his wife
Rosi emigrated to Canada in 1966. The year before Karchi came,
Mary got married. Fred spent many nights at the dinner table
in Kathy's house, being urged by his mother-in-law to eat more
vegetables.
Kathy became a grandmother at the young age of 44 in 1969. She
immediately became "chief" caregiver to her two grandchildren,
Bonnie and Jay. Kathy's son Sidney, 12 years younger than Mary,
could always be counted on to entertain his young niece and nephew.
Life was good. Her loving relationship with Jimmy was the envy
of their Friends. She fed him chocolate cake for breakfast, cooked
his borscht the way he liked it, and taught him the fine art
of vacuuming. Kathy was a patient mother, active grandmother
and an effortless cook. Her family craved the delicacy simply
called "Bubby's chicken," the paprikash and goulash that tasted
like the old country, and her near-medicinal chicken soup. When
Sidney married in 1982, Kathy developed a remarkably close relationship
with her daughter-in-law, Simmy. When their kids (Justin, Dylan
and Taryn) were born, Kathy and Jimmy basked in this new generation,
defined by winters at the Florida condo and regular Friday-night
dinners at The Pickle Barrel.
But then came a more difficult phase of life. Jimmy took care
of Kathy as her health failed. Just as she did as a teenager
in Auschwitz, Kathy fought hard and had many miraculous recoveries
from several serious ailments. Through it all, Kathy and Jimmy
never missed an episode of The Young and the Restless.
Kathy had much joy through her pain, celebrating the birth of
her four great-grandchildren, Arly, Ethan, Coby and Remy. She
described each one as the most beautiful child born on this Earth.
And as long as they had eaten, she was happy.
Kathy rallied in early April to attend the Passover Seder at
her daughter Mary's house. She died just over a week later. Kathy
rarely sat down to the meals she cooked for her family. She hovered,
making sure their plates were full. This can be equated with
her inability to exhale until her children were cared for, with
her inability to relax until she knew those close to her were
safe. Kathy has now finally exhaled: she knows her family is
safe.
Bonnie is Kathy
GREEN's oldest grandchild. Adam is Bonnie's husband.

Coach was a University of Toronto mainstay
By James CHRISTIE,
Page S8
Some coaches keep their players in a state of anxiety, wondering
whether they will play or not.
John McMANUS was more apt to keep them in stitches with his wit.
The coach of the University Toronto Varsity Blues basketball
team for almost three decades died on Wednesday of cancer in
North York General Hospital. He was 88.
"He loved the game with a passion," said Michael
KATZ, the present-day
heir to the Varsity Blues basketball bench. "He was still playing
pick-up basketball in his 50s."
KATZ played for
McMANUS from 1968 to 1971 and knew the value
of the coach's humour first-hand.
"The old Hart House bandbox was supposed to be our home court,
but one year our home games were played at York University because
the old building was virtually condemned,"
KATZ said. "We could
have been grim, but he made up for it with his sense of humour."
Born in Milestone, Saskatchewan., in 1918,
McMANUS was raised
in Winnipeg, where he excelled in baseball, basketball and track
and field.
He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force at the outbreak of the
Second World War and spent 1939 to 1942 at various fighter command
bases in England.
After the war,
McMANUS attended University of Toronto to study
physical education. Upon graduation in 1950, he coached the Acadia
Axemen basketball team in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, for two seasons,
then returned to Varsity in 1952 to coach football and basketball
and to teach in the school of physical education.
He was the University of Toronto men's basketball coach for 28 seasons
(1955-83), amassing a regular-season record of 174 wins and 152 losses.

Popular University of Toronto coach dies, 88
John McMANUS led Varsity hoops team from 1954-1983
By Tim LAI,
Sports
Reporter,
Page E2
Even near the end of his decades-long career as the head coach
of the men's basketball team at the University of Toronto, John
McMANUS was in better shape than his players -- and that was
in his 60s.
"We shared a locker area and many times, we'd be finishing practice
and he'd be in the washroom area doing chin-ups on the handle
across the stalls," laughed Doug
FOX, athletic director at Humber
College, who played under
McMANUS from 1974 to 1979.
The fitness fanatic, who coached the Varsity Blues for 29 years
between 1954 and 1983, never stopped working out, even up until
his death Wednesday after his second battle with cancer in two
years. McMANUS was 88.
Over his lengthy career in Toronto,
McMANUS amassed a 172-152
regular season record, but coached more than 600 games in total.
His only title came in 1958 when he led the squad to victory
in the Wilson Cup, Ontario's championship game.
He was known at the university, not only for being the longest-serving
coach -- he was also the football assistant for 24 years -- but
for his physical prowess, as well. He was the definition of a
gym rat, playing and coaching every sport possible. He almost
became a professional baseball player, but World War 2 began.
Before he started at the U of T, he coached every single team
at Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S.
"Even when he was sick in the hospital, I'd walk in and there
he'd be leaning on the end of his bed, on the railing, doing
push-ups on it," said his daughter, Katherine
McMANUS-
BROWNE,
who studied physical education at U of T. "Even at 88, he was
still working out twice a day."
His coaching wisdom has been passed on to hundreds of players
over the years.
"He helped me with my free-throw shooting," said Mike
KATZ, who
has been the head coach of the basketball team for the past three
years and played for
McMANUS between 1968-1971. "He wanted you
to place your hands across the seams of the basketball. It's
something that I still do with my kids today."
McMANUS's career netted him an award upon his retirement in 1983
for being "a retired coach who exemplified the highest ideals
and qualities of sportsmanship and service."
Fittingly, it was the inaugural award and named after him.
There was no funeral or service, as per his wishes, but like
the sign-off on his letters, he had a quick final message: "Get
in shape and keep fit."

Sossin, and affectionate comrade of Julia's husband Lorne
SOSSIN,
Oscar was pre-deceased by Isabelle, the wife he adored and deeply
missed. He was a lover of young people, art, music, Yiddish and
tennis. Oscar possessed a goodness that enabled him to find the
best in people as well as the ability to manage the technicalities
of life (including professional life) in the interests of justice
which he revered. He was able to look beyond the details - of
parenthood, business, Friendship - to ask what is right. For
this rare sensibility he was beloved and valued and because of
it he will be missed by many people. We who survive are challenged
and improved by the example he set for us. Friends may gather
on Monday, April 24 from 11: 00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at "The Riverside",
76th St. and Amsterdam Ave., New York, New York. Burial to follow
at Mount Ararat Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be
made to the Hanigsberg/Sossin Endowment Fund at Reena 905-763-8254
