Jack HARRELL,
Boxing
Trainer And Historian: (1944-2006)
With the motto 'Refuse to Lose,' he ran Toronto's under appreciated
Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame and trained aspiring boxers for
43 years
By Ron CSILLAG,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S7
Damon Runyon could have come up with this: A sailor who gets
into the fight game, eats and breathes boxing for more than four
decades, helps kids stay out of trouble, marries three times,
dies relatively young, and is remembered by fellow salts and
pugilists as a tough guy with a heart of gold.
That was "Florida" Jack
HARRELL -- a character in a character's
world. He trained boxers for 43 years and ran the unheralded
Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame, housed in his eponymous gym up
a gloomy flight of stairs at the corner of Yonge and Bloor streets
in Toronto. Its high point came in October, 2002, when Mr.
HARRELL
inducted Muhammad Ali during half time at a Toronto Argonauts
game.
Despite the attendance of then heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis
and former titleholders Larry Holmes and Evander Holyfield --
and adoring chants of "Ali! Ali!" from the crowd -- it was an
event Mr. HARRELL lamented was buried by the media. He also rued
that his boxing museum never caught the public's attention, despite
the effort and his own money that he'd put into it.
"Most people just walk by. They haven't realized that there are
two professional sports halls of fame on Yonge Street," he said
a few years ago, referring to the more famous Hockey Hall of
Fame.
"It always struck me as odd, in a nice way, that here was an
American guy [who was] into Canadian boxing history, who took
it on himself to open a museum and the Canadian Boxing Hall of
Fame," recalled George
CHUVALO, the Canadian heavyweight warhorse
who twice fought Mr. Ali and earned Mr.
HARRELL's respect for
never being knocked down through 97 pro fights.
"He loved boxing and he helped a lot of kids," said Mr.
CHUVALO.
"He was a good-hearted guy. A bit flamboyant, but a cool guy.
A character -- a good character."
With every finger ringed and bejewelled in a way that made his
hands look like they were brandishing high-end brass knuckles,
coupled with a black hat and Hulk Hogan-style mustache, Mr.
HARRELL
was "the sort of a guy who should have gone to Hollywood," said
Spider Jones, a three-time former Golden Gloves champion and
Hall of Fame inductee who now co-hosts ESPN Classic's Famous
Fights with Mr.
CHUVALO. "
Jack was wearing bling before bling
was in."
He had some rough edges but Mr.
HARRELL "was always looking at
the bright side of things and constantly making plans for the
future," remembered his friend, Robin
PITCHER, a one-time referee
and judge for Boxing Ontario who wandered into Mr.
HARRELL's
gym one day "just to check it out."
Mr. HARRELL's son, Jackson Jefferson, known as J.J., a provincial
Junior A champion in 1994-'95, became Mr.
PITCHER's personal
trainer, "and I began to learn to box at the tender age of 58."
Mr. HARRELL was a "wicked" pool player, Mr.
PITCHER recalled,
and a regular at the Naval Club of Toronto, where he regaled
patrons with tales of boxing and the sea -- aware, perhaps, of
the parallels.
The "Florida" moniker was owed to his birthplace but also to
a voice once described as thicker than a Tallahassee swamp. An
only child, he grew up in north Florida and served in the U.S. Navy
from 1962 until 1966, starting at the Great Lakes Training Center
in Illinois and onto the communications cruiser U.S.S. Northampton
and the destroyer U.S.S. Claude Jones. He served a brief tour
in Vietnam, about which he spoke little.
No one seems to know why Mr.
HARRELL came to Toronto in 1974,
but he did it in a 1937 Chevy hotrod that he drove for years
afterward. He worked for about a dozen years as a subway train
driver, then opened a boxing gym on Yonge Street. About six years
ago, he moved it half a block north, where it endured a fire
and a perennially leaky roof.
When membership dwindled from 300 -- about half of them women
to 50 or so, he struggled to keep the place open. "Right now,
I've got one foot on the top of the ground and trying to get
the other off the banana peel and get it going," he said a year
ago. "It hasn't been easy."
Yet he lived his motto of "Refuse to Lose," and the doors stayed
open until five days after his death.
"I don't know how he did it," sighed Mr.
PITCHER, "but I do know
that it drained him financially, physically and emotionally."
Mr. CHUVALO is all too aware of the pitfalls of the fight game.
"Guys like Jack are really unsung heroes. They don't get enough
credit for what they do. That's a tough business, to open a gym
and keep it going. If you want to get rich quick, you better
not open a boxing gym."
Even so, Mr.
HARRELL owned quite a collection of ring memorabilia
that was rumoured to have cost him $100,000 (admission to the
public was free). There was Rubin (Hurricane) Carter's robe,
championship belts, magazines, ticket stubs (Dempsey versus Tunney,
Philadelphia, September 23, 1926, ringside, $27.50), vintage
posters on the walls, scorecards, fight-worn gear and records
of every professional fight on Canadian soil. His prize possession
was said to be an 80-year-old speed bag platform used by Mr. Ali
and Mr. CHUVALO when they trained at the Lansdowne gym for their
memorable 1966 fight at Maple Leaf Gardens.
It wasn't all bling. There were also reminders of such Canadian
also linked as linked as -foughts as Jack (Rapier of the North) Delaney and George
(Little Chocolate) Dixon.
As for the hall of fame, which was founded in 1969 and housed
in Florida Jack's Boxing Club since 2000, Mr.
HARRELL knew that
at around 350 names, the list of inductees was bloated. He talked
about starting over and using the space "for guys who really
should be there."
Anyway, the mementos now languish in the dark, still in their
long, glass display cases, or are crated up, awaiting an uncertain
future. "Maybe with Jack's death comes the death of the Canadian
Boxing Hall of Fame," mused Mr. Jones. "With Jack gone, who's
gonna step up to the plate?"
The gym, on the other hand, known for its punishing conditioning
program, was the place for Hollywood types to get buffed when
they shot in Toronto. Mr.
HARRELL whipped actors Mira Sorvino,
Chris Penn and Carrie-Anne Moss of Matrix fame into shape for
their movie roles. He appeared in a music video with Mr. Ali's
daughter, Laila, and served as boxing consultant on the 2000
teen thriller film, The Skulls.
He fought a bit as an amateur and in the service, but claimed
he never had the right people behind him to turn pro. Asked who
Mr. HARRELL's favourite boxer was, Mr. Jones doesn't hesitate:
Sugar Ray Robinson.
While Mr. HARRELL may have been at home amid the thud of heavy
bags and the smell of sweat, "he was frustrated with the whole
fight scene," Mr. Jones said, referring to the lack of big-ticket
cards and tepid interest in the sport in Canada, at least compared
to hockey or baseball.
"He didn't get any support from Canadians, the sports world,
the media, the other fighters. But his whole life was talking
boxing. He really loved the fight game. That was his life, man."
And he never turned anyone away from his gym, especially kids
for whom boxing may have meant the difference between a life
and jail -- or worse. There were several of those. One of them
remained behind after all the other guests had left a memorial
for Mr. HARRELL held last month at the Naval Club.
"He was sobbing his heart out," said club first vice-president
Norrie MILLEN. "He explained that Jack had taken him off the
streets and treated him like a son. He just did not know what
he was going to do now that Jack had 'crossed the bar.' It was
so moving and had us all a bit weepy that Jack could affect one
young life so much."
Jack Raymond
HARRELL was born in Tallahassee, Florida, on December 4,
1944, and died in Toronto of pneumonia on March 12, 2006. He
was 61. He leaves two sons, J.J., 22, and Eric, 13, and a fiancée,
Judith PASHLEY.

PITHER,
William
Garth
(March 6, 1921-September 8, 2006)
A pioneer in the Cable television industry, Garth passed away
peacefully on September 8, 2006 in Vancouver. Predeceased by
his adoring wife Dorothy, he is survived by sons Ron, Barry,
and Gordon; grand_sons Colin and Lane; daughter-in-law Deborah
BROADLEY; sister Beth (Charles;) nephew Gerry
EDWARDS, and nieces
Linda MASON,
Sharon
FARNETTI, and Heather
PICCO. Garth's 'family'
was bigger than most, as his reach, influence, and genuine interest
always extended in the most caring of ways beyond the conventional
his sense of community and contribution were hallmarks of his
life. Garth's watchwords were 'Perseverance', 'Why not?', and
'Never dismiss anyone or anything'. Born in Winnipeg and growing
up in Saskatchewan and Vancouver, Garth began an electrical apprenticeship
at RCA in Toronto during 1938. In 1940 he enlisted in the
Royal Canadian Air Force and was seconded to the Royal Air Force
where his technical brilliance was applied to the then secret
U.K.-based radar initiative. Returning to Canada in 1945 he rejoined
RCA and married Dorothy
LOVELL in 1946. A chance television
repair job for Syd
WELSH lead to a three way partnership with
Bud SHEPARD in the early fifties pioneering Cable television
in Canada. His technical knowledge and skills were employed in
wiring the mountain communities of British Columbia, including
antenna sites surveyed on foot, by packhorse, boat, jeep, helicopter,
and snowmobile. By the 1960s, this visionary trio, and others
too many to mention, brought Cable television to the major urban
centres of Canada and around the world including the U.S.A.,
Ireland, and the United Kingdom, garnering the respect of governments
and business partners such as CBS. In 1971 the Welsh companies
formed Premier Cablevision Limited which was eventually purchased
by Rogers Cable of Toronto. Garth's 'retirement' in 1981 was
hardly ever that(!) as he offered his skills, enthusiasm, and
insight to support Rick Hansen's dream to wheel around the world
and such organizations as the British Columbia and Canadian Paraplegic
Associations, Vancouver Rotary and finally the Shaughnessy Stroke
Recovery Club. Golf both in Vancouver and Palm Springs was always
in the 'fore'. Always busy, always involved, always offering,
always there… Garth was always 'doing something' and led by example
to create and fix things rather than just offer words. A private
Celebration of Garth's life will be held amongst his dear family
and Friends. The family thanks the volunteers and members of
the Shaughnessy Stroke Recovery Club and other stroke support
services in Vancouver for enabling Garth to maintain his independence
since his wn stroke in 1996. Moreover, we give honourable mention
to the staff at Vancouver General Hospital, University of British
Columbia Health Sciences and Providence Health Care, in particular
staff at the Brock Fahrni facility for the wonderful care and
attention Garth received over the past year. In lieu of flowers,
donations should be made to one of Garth's proudest and greatest
achievements, the British Columbia Paraplegic Foundation (780…S.W.
Marine Drive, Vancouver, British Columbia V6P 5Y7) of which he
was a founding visionary over 30 years ago.

Passed away peacefully with family present on January 19, 2006
at the age of 94. The daughter of Finnish immigrant farmers,
Taimi was born on a homestead near Thunder Bay, Ontario in 1911.
A resident of Toronto since 1932, Taimi was a passionate, life-long
activist for peace and social justice. In her latter years, she

WAHL.
Her remarkable life
and that of her younger brother Aate was the subject of the wonderful

BROWN was born in the city of Toronto on March 22,
1930. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in French and a B.A.
in Education from the University of Toronto. He worked as a French
teacher and the head of the Guidance Department at the Kirkland
Lake Collegiate and Vocational Institute. After a few years he
made the decision to join Saint Peter's Seminary in London to
consecrate his life to Priesthood. On June 6, 1964 he was ordained
Priest by The Most Reverend Bishop Maxime
TESSIER.
Once ordained
he moved to Boston where he joined Saint James Apostle Society
with hopes of becoming a missionary in South America. After eight
months of service in a Massachusetts Parish he moved to Peru
where he spent four months learning Spanish. In June of 1965,
he was sent to the Dioceses of Guayaquil, Ecuador where he spent
twelve years at the Conception of Mary Parish, here he founded
a strong Catholic youth group that still today works together
following the foundations of Father
BROWN's work. Later he moved
to the Pacific Coast of Ecuador where he spent another 12 years
celebrating Masses and creating stronger communities in several
small towns in the area. In 1988 he returned to Canada and was
assigned to work with the growing Hispanic Community in the City
of London, where he served as Pastor, spiritual counselor, guide,
role model and friend for over 17 years. "Padre Francisco" as
everyone called him, dedicated his life to the Hispanic people
specially the most poor and needy. He was the prime example of
a true follower of Jesus Christ. His family, parishioners and

CHC Helicopter founder Craig
DOBBIN dead at 71
Newfoundland and Labrador industrialist remembered as 'great
son' of the province
With files from reporters Gordon
PITTS,
Amanda
LANG, and Canadian
Press, Page B3
Craig DOBBIN, the helicopter entrepreneur who counted some of
the world's most powerful among his Friends, has died at his
home in Beachy Cove, Newfoundland. He was 71.
The founder and chairman of CHC Helicopter Corp. passed away
early Saturday. The day before, his Vancouver-based flight services
company had announced that he was taking a leave of absence from
his position as executive chairman because of unspecified health
reasons. His son, Mark
DOBBIN, was appointed to temporarily take
his place.
One of 11 children, Craig
DOBBIN first became a professional
diver, then turned to house-building and land development, He
founded Sealand Helicopters in Newfoundland in the late 1970s.
In 1987, he headed a group that bought Okanagan Helicopters and
Toronto Helicopters, merging them with his own company to create
CHC. It now flies in more than 30 countries and considers
itself the world's largest provider of helicopter services to
the global offshore oil and gas industry.
"I never planned to own a helicopter, let alone establish the
world's biggest helicopter company," he told a Memorial University
of Newfoundland convocation in 2000, where he was being given
an honorary degree.
"The truth is, I was more interested in fishing, but I had a
real problem getting to the best salmon rivers. The solution:
I bought myself a really expensive toy -- a helicopter. When
I realized what I had done and checked my costs, I had two choices:
Sell it, or make some money from it."
The Newfoundland native moved CHC's head office to Vancouver
from Saint_John's in 2004, but he remained a familiar name at home.
Appointed to the Order of Canada in 1992, he was named the province's
businessman of the millennium in 2000 and served as its Consul
General of Ireland. Two years ago, he and his brother Derm started
the Saint_John's Fog Devils, a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League
franchise in the provincial capital.
A plan to sell CHC to two unnamed U.S. private equity groups
collapsed earlier this year when they wouldn't meet his price.
"I thought the company was worth more than they were prepared
to pay," he said. Mr.
DOBBIN held 72 per cent of CHC voting
rights and 23 per cent of its equity. He had planned to retain
a minority.
"Craig embodied the spirit and passion of a Newfoundlander and
Labradorian like no one else," Premier Danny Williams said in
a statement. Former premier Brian Tobin called Mr.
DOBBIN a "great
son of Newfoundland and Labrador."
He continued to fish, bringing on his forays to Labrador such
pals as former U.S. president George Bush, Atlantic entrepreneurs
Harry Steele (Newfoundland Capital Corp.) and Ron Joyce (Tim
Hortons). He counted former prime minister Brian Mulroney among
his Friends, along with most of Newfoundland's premiers, especially
Frank Moores, who died in 2005.
Mr. DOBBIN's own health difficulties began 10 years ago, when
he was found to have a rarely diagnosed lung disease. His wife
Elaine recognized the symptoms, because it had afflicted several
members of her family. He was able to get on a transplant list
and received a lung from a young man, a shooting victim in Philadelphia.
Ending his speech to graduates in 2000, he said: "Let me leave
with these pointers. One: Dare to dream. Two: Turn adversity
into opportunity. Three: Don't forget your reality check. You
can do it right here at home in Newfoundland. But most importantly:
Have fun in life -- it's a quick trip."
He is survived by his wife, Elaine, and five children. A funeral
mass was scheduled for today in Saint_John's.
