THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON,
Vera
Elsie (née
RADCLIFF)
(July 10, 1915-December 19, 2006)
Vera died peacefully after a brief stay in hospital. She was
born in Regina and lived in Moose Jaw before moving with her
parents to Vancouver in 1927. Vera was predeceased by her husband
Callum THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, parents Charles and Elsie as well as brothers
George and Lorne. At 17 she received her A.T.C.M. from the Toronto
Conservatory of Music, attaining the highest marks in Canada.
Her University of British Columbia years are deeply etched in
her life particularly her activities with the Music Society which
continued long after graduation. Vera chose to express her gifts
through teaching, conducting, and mentoring students. In 1995,
her last formal piano student passed through her doors, some
60 years after the first. In one sense, Vera's death marks the
end of a line. But through the years of sharing music, humour,
love of Canada, and a passion for teaching, she touched the lives
of countless people, all of whom now carry her spirit forward.
Friends and former students will gather for a celebration of
her life at Ryerson United Church, 2195 West 45th Avenue, Kerrisdale,
11 a.m., Saturday, December 30, 2006. Viewing from 10 a.m., burial
to follow service. Flowers to be sent to the church. In lieu
of flowers, donations in Vera's memory may be made to a charity
of your choice.

Arthurs, C.M., LL.D. (Hon.)
(July 5, 1927-March 3, 2006)
78, died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage at Sarasota Memorial
Hospital,
Florida, on March 3, 2006. Adored husband of Nona
MacDONALD,
he is the cherished brother of Betty
DREW-
BROOK
(Bob) of Qualicum
Beach, British Columbia. He was predeceased by his two other
sisters, Alice
RADFORD
(Paul) and Doris
MORRIS (Bert.) He is
uncle of Bruce
RADFORD (Rosemary), Brenda Radford
MILLION (Rob)
the MORRIS children - Debra, Lee, Sheri, Bob, Bill and Brad -
and of the Drew-Brooks - Alan, Neil and Paul. He and the late
Richard CHATER co-founded one of Canada's largest retail clothing
conglomerates, Grafton Group Ltd. Bill retired as Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman in 1992. He was appointed a Member of the
Order of Canada and received an Honorary Doctorate from St. Francis
Xavier University, Nova Scotia. His interest in education led
him to create undergraduate ongoing scholarships for the following
universities: Toronto, York, Western Ontario, Waterloo, Guelph,
Prince Edward Island, Memorial, Manitoba and British Columbia.
His many grand-nieces and grand-nephews will remember him for
his financial assistance in achieving their higher education
goals. At the University of Toronto, he established the Nona
Macdonald Visitors Centre and the Macdonald Heaslip Walkway at
Hart House Theater. At Ryerson University, Heaslip House for
Continuing Education opened recently as did The Macdonald Heaslip
Theatre at Sheridan Institute, Oakville. Other significant gifts
have been made to Shaw Festival, Soulpepper Theatre, Toronto
Symphony, Canadian Opera Company, Art Gallery of Ontario, Design
Centre and Banff Centre for the Arts. He was a dedicated fundraiser
and board member of Care Canada and Canadian Liver Foundation.
He made major gifts to United Way, Rotary Club and Hincks Institute.
Hospitals that benefitted from his giving include: Sunnybrook,
Women's College, St. Michael's and Toronto General. An avid golfer,
he held club memberships at Rosedale, Toronto Hunt; and
in Florida
at The Oaks he scored a 77, one-less-his-age, this January. A
skilled fly fisherman, he belonged to Ristigouche Salmon Club,
New Brunswick, and to the Caledon Mountain Trout Club, Ontario.
Other recreational clubs were Tadenac in Georgian Bay and Griffiths
Island. Two highlights of a favourite sport, Ballooning, were
soaring over The Alps and participating in the 200th Anniversary
of Ballooning, starting from Place de la Concorde, Paris. His
love of wine was enjoyed with the members of The Tastevin des
Chevaliers and The Commanderie de Bordeaux societies. In the
1820's, the Heaslips immigrated to Ontario from County Wexford,
Ireland. This Irish background may account for his convivial
and generous nature. Unfortunately, the 'luck of the Irish' ran
out when heart disease, prevalent in the family, became his problem
in later years. Thanks to superb surgery, he survived two by-pass
operations at Toronto General Hospital where he has been a decade-long
patient of Dr. Douglas
WIGLE, his friend and cardiologist. Stricken
suddenly at his Florida residence, he succumbed to a stroke.
An organ donor at his death, he gave the ultimate gift - his
liver so befitting a benefactor of the Canadian Liver Foundation.
Bill HEASLIP will be remembered always, by his wide-ranging coterie
of loyal Friends; by George and Joan
REYNOLDS, by Carmelita and
Danny ALCALA and by his wife's family, the Macdonald clan. Family
and Friends are invited to celebrate his life on Monday, May
8, 2006 at Rosedale Golf Club, Toronto from 5: 30 to 8:00 p.m.
If desired, a charitable donation may be made to any of the above-mentioned
universities or to Theatre Museum Canada, 77 Bloor St. West,

VAS,
Stephen (1926-2006)
A Pioneer In Peritoneal Dialysis, Professor Of Microbiology And
Medicine University Of Toronto
Stephen was born on June 4, 1926, as the second child after his
sister Veronika, in Budapest. His father was the shopkeeper and
owner of a hardware store in central Budapest. After receiving
his High School diploma from the Fasor Gymnasium in the Spring
of 1944, he was taken right away into a Nazi labour camp in the
southeast part of Hungary. Subsequent to the liberation of Romania,
Stephen escaped the camp and fled to Bucharest. He originally
planned to study physics, yet when the Hungarian University in
Cluj (Kolozsvár) opened, he started studying medicine as this
was the only discipline offered. After the war finished in Hungary,
Stephen returned to Budapest in 1945 and continued his studies
there. He received his M.D. in 1950. As a young doctor, Stephen
worked in various hospitals and public health research institutes.
He also spent three years in the military as an immunologist,
and focused on epidemic control and microbiology. Stephen married
Dr. Magdalena
RADITZ in 1954. In 1956 he received his 'Candidacy'
(PhD). The same year, Stephen and Magdalena fled Hungary to Vienna,
where Stephen received a Rockefeller Scholarship to go to Montreal.
Three years later, he started teaching at McGill medicine and
microbiology. Five years before leaving Montreal, Stephen became
the chairman of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology
at McGill. In 1977, Magdalena and Stephen moved to Toronto, where
he became Chief of Microbiology and Magdalena joined the hematology
department of the Toronto Western Hospital. Stephen
VAS when
he moved from Montreal to Toronto to become our Microbiologist-in-Chief,
he helped us immensely in the diagnosis of treatment of peritonitis
in patients on Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis and he applied his
vast knowledge of microbiology and infectious diseases to the
care of his patients. He was one of the first to study the inflammatory
response of the peritoneal cavity and he went around the world
lecturing on the principles of treatment of the infectious complications
of peritoneal dialysis. Until the end of his life, he was available
and gave his opinion freely about these difficult problems to
people who called from around the world. He cared deeply for
his patients who literally adored him, especially the women,
who felt so comfortable with his compassionate care. After his
retirement, he was happy looking after peritoneal dialysis patients
who were totally attached to him. He was always available to
the nurses day or night, whenever they needed his advice. Unfortunately
five years ago, Magdalena died and Stephen became quite depressed,
although he never let his feelings show during our daily interactions.
However, at the end his loneliness became quite strong, and the
attraction of his family and his roots were so strong that he
decided to return to Budapest. He was excited by the fact that
not only the physicians and nurses there but even the Government
officials held him in great respect. He supported with all his
strength the Nephrology department of Saint Margit Hospital in
Budapest. He was deeply involved in teaching, something that
he always enjoyed. Stephen died on the 14th of October 2006.

RADOSTITS o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2006-12-19 published
RADOSTITS,
Doctor
Otto
M., C.M., D.V.M.
(August 31, 1934-December 15, 2006)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Otto
Martin RADOSTITS on December 15, 2006. The family is thankful
for his many years of wonderful health and his productive life.
We are joyful that his courageous battle with kidney cancer is
over and he is at peace with his God. Otto was born in Edmonton,
the eldest son of Austrian immigrants, Stephen and Hermine
RADOSTITS
(deceased), who instilled in their four boys the values of the
Roman Catholic faith, a strong work ethic and the importance
of a good education. Otto's early years on a mixed farm and his
high school job at the Blue Cross Animal Hospital in Edmonton
were the beginnings of a life long passion for veterinary medicine.
Otto received his DVM from the Ontario Veterinary College
in 1959 and a Master of Science degree from the University of
Saskatchewan (U. of S.) in 1967. As a veterinary educator, clinician
and author, Otto had a profound influence on his students, on
the establishment and growth of the Western College of Veterinary
Medicine at the U. of S. and on his beloved profession. On his
retirement in 2002, he was appointed Professor Emeritus and the
Western Canadian Association of Bovine Practitioners established
the O.M. Radostits Legacy Fund to fund an annual lecture series
on bovine medicine. Otto received many awards and honours during
his career. He treasured his teaching awards, particularly the
Master Teacher award from the U. of S. He was humbled and proud
to be made a member of the Order of Canada in 2003. In 2006 he
received the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association President's
Award to recognize his dedication and contributions to the Association
and he also received the Sask Centennial Medal. Otto's wise counsel,
mentorship and his numerous authoritative textbooks on large
animal medicine were sought after nationally and internationally.
Otto loved classical music, attending the Saskatoon Symphony,
singing (especially the annual WCVM student Christmas carolling),
reading, tennis, biking and long walks, even at -30°. His most
special times were spent at family celebrations with his wife
and extended family. He loved to debate the issues of the day
- his daily reading of the Globe and Mail made him a formidable
debater and kept us all informed. Although, his profession allowed
him to travel the world, there was no place like home. He was
a proud Canadian and always thankful for the many opportunities
our country provides for all. Otto leaves his loving and devoted
wife, Ruth (Clancy,) six children and their families: Anna
ALDERSON
(Pryce,) Liam and Erin; Eileen
RADOSTITS,
Gershon and Sophia
Julia RADOSTITS
(Richard
HONG,) Sebastian and Justin; Stephen
RADOSTITS (Robin
FISHER), Todd, Mark, Kurt and Joshua; Anita
LIVINGSTONE
(Brent,)
Kayden and Chloe; and Jennifer
ARTHURS (Richard,)
Brendan and Lauren; his three brothers Ivan (Mary Agnes), Peter
(Brenda) and Francis (Pat) and their families; his sister-in-law
Velma KELEHER and brother-in-law Michael
CLANCY and their families
his special cousins Mitzi
CROWE
(Fred,)
Mary
METZ (Harry,) Jean
EASTWOOD
(Kirby) and their families; and the
RADOSTITS clan in
Chicago. Otto also leaves many Friends and veterinary colleagues
around the world. We all will miss deeply his strong presence,
his beautiful loud voice and his challenges. Prayer service will
be held at Holy Family Church (110 - 104th Street, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
S7N 1M8) on Thursday, December 21, 2006 at 7 p.m. and the Funeral
Mass will be held at Holy Family on Friday, December 22, 2006
at 11 a.m. Private family interment at Holy Cross Cemetery in
Edmonton to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to Saint Paul's Hospital Foundation Inc. (1702 - 20th St.

Fund or a charity of choice. Arrangements in care of John Schachtel
