CALDER and Owen
REED will also miss him. James was
born in London, England, and raised in the Forest of Dean, Gloucester,
England. The first in his family to attend university James excelled
in academia and went on to become a professor of Electrical Engineering.
In addition to his university teaching and research James was
also an inventor. His power engineering and power supply systems,
including the Cross Power Supply, are in use internationally.
Plastic perforation technology developed by James is also being
used in manufacturing. What James set out to do, he did. And
more. He circumnavigated the world in his 26 foot wooden boat,
Gay Goose, using only a chronometer, sextant and charts. He taught
himself to play the wooden flute and enjoyed his years in Waterloo
with the Grand River Ceili Band. Following early retirement he
got great pleasure from learning to play the Northumbrian Bagpipes
and enjoyed two piping tours with other pipers in New Zealand.
Along the way his pursuits included keeping bees, climbing mountains
or cycling down them on a tandem with Cilla, and always living
life to the fullest. James' greatest passion was his cycling.
In his youth he was a highly successful competitive cyclist and
he continued cycling his whole life in all weather, thinking
nothing of his frequent 100 km plus rides. He kept a bicycle
with Friends in several countries in order to always be able
to go for a ride. This summer, while in England, before the insidious
cancer took firm hold, he surprised his doctors by doing several
60 km rides. James was a difficult man to live with but it will
be extremely difficult to live without him. Life was always interesting
with James. His love of talking, imparting knowledge and telling
of tales made him many firm Friends around the world. Sincere
thanks to Doctor Jyothi who gave James and the family compassionate
care, Doctor Virik who gave him hope, and the nurses of the Victorian
Order of Nurses, especially Patsy, who provided such kind and
sensitive care, which enabled James to die peacefully at home.

A friend to the average family
By Mike FUNSTON,
Staff
Reporter
Jackie SHEPHERD never backed down from a fight, whether it was
against slum landlords, political heavyweights or big supermarkets
gouging consumers.
SHEPHERD, who made headlines in the Toronto Star in the 1960s
as a consumer advocate and federal New Democratic Party candidate
in Toronto, succumbed to cancer at home, with her family by her
side, on Friday. She was 73.
"In Jackie's younger days, she was feisty and never backed down
from anybody. She passed those traits on to all of her children.
She's one of the strongest women I've ever known," said her son-in-law,
Bob MITCHELL, a reporter at the Star.
"She was my best friend," said her daughter, Kim
MITCHELL. "
She
was the glue that held our family together. Her daughters and
sons looked up to her. That's where we got our strength. She
was a courageous woman."
Jacqueline Lorraine
SHEPHERD (formerly
LEDREW) was born August
16, 1932, in Saint John's Newfoundland. She was an Oakville resident
for the past five years but had also lived in Toronto, Newmarket,
Mississauga and Calgary.
A member of the Women Against Soaring Prices, she resigned in
the fall of 1966 because the organization didn't want to take
the action she thought was necessary to protest against rising
food prices.
When she went on television and talked about how landlords wouldn't
rent to people with children, her phone started ringing off the
hook. Soon afterwards, in 1967, she formed the Consumers' Housewives
Union and convinced members to picket food warehouses.
SHEPHERD spearheaded a fight for better housing for low-income
residents and helped convince the government of the day to pass
legislation that banned landlords from refusing to rent to people
with children.
She organized a march of 34 mothers on Queen's Park in February
1967, with a petition to amend the Ontario Human Rights Code
to prevent landlords from barring children.
"You'd think children weren't even human,"
SHEPHERD told the
Star in 1967, after she had scanned the classified ads and found
167 apartments that wouldn't allow children.
While running the Consumers' Housewives Union out of her home
in an Ontario Housing unit,
SHEPHERD found time to raise her
family and work part-time as a waitress and cashier.
In 1967, she petitioned city hall and won a two-week stay of
eviction for 25 families from their Sylvan Court housing complex
in Scarborough. In 1968, she ran unsuccessfully for the New Democratic
Party in the federal riding of York West.
She also worked 27 years for the Ontario Jockey Club, primarily
at Woodbine and Greenwood racetracks.
SHEPHERD leaves her husband Jack, a Korean War veteran, five
children -- John, Kim, Jill, Joey and Megan -- 16 grandchildren
and three great-grandchildren. Another son, Richard, was murdered
on January 22, 1981. She also had 17 brothers and sisters.
Visitation will be at Oakview Funeral Home, 56 Lakeshore Rd.
W. in Oakville, today from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m., and tomorrow
from 9 to 11 a.m., with eulogies to follow in the chapel. Interment

LEDSHAM,
Harold
T., P.Eng. (1924-2006)
After a short and courageous battle with esophageal cancer, Harold
passed away on his own terms on Thursday evening. His loving
wife of 51 years, Edna, and his two children Claire and Tony,
were with him in his final moments. He will be lovingly missed
by his grandchildren Ben and Oliver, Simon and Victoria, as well
as his dear son-in-law Tony
PRIESTLEY. In death, as in life,
Harold passed away with grace and dignity. His greatest concern
was for his family, Friends and community. Despite growing up
during the Depression in Canada, and subsequently, World War 2
in England, Harold lived life to the fullest. He served with
the Royal Engineers, doing post-war reconstruction work in Malaya.
Repatriated to Canada, he was heavily involved with the design
and development of the Toronto Transit Commission subway system.
Later, as a consultant, he was involved in transit system development
in Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Chile and Shanghai, to name a
few. His second retirement was full of activities, from model
trains to stamp collecting, but most importantly, his new-found
passion for community activism. He was involved in preservation
and fundraising efforts for his community of Lowville, as well
as saving the Niagara Escarpment from over-development. Through
these activities, he met many wonderful Friends who were incredibly
supportive. In the true engineer spirit, he was an avid tinkerer
but his favourite activity was walking his beloved dogs. A historic
stone bench will be installed in Lowville Park, in his memory.
Visitation, 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Sun 4 Jun-J Scott Early Funeral
Home, 21 James St Milton. Memorial Service, 2 p.m. Wed 7 Jun-Lowville
