RAICUS,
Ethel (1920-2006)
Ethel RAICUS - artist, educator, scholar, translator, cousin,
friend and mentor died Tuesday, April 11, 2006. Raised by her
mother, Slaava, Ethel's passion for art began at an early age,
inspired by Doris McCarthy and Arthur Lismer. One of the first
women graphic artists in advertising, she later became a painter
in her own right. Ethel was elected to the Ontario Society of
Artists in 1963. Ethel was a woman of many passions. Her idealism
for a Jewish state compelled her to live and work in Israel in
the early 1950s. Ethel was a scholar who became principal of
the Holy Blossom Hebrew School. Later in life, she honed her
skills in Yiddish, translating stories for journals and a book
collection. Ethel was an opera buff and travelled with the family
to Vienna and New York to hear Adrianne Pieczonka sing. She was
so looking forward to the Gala opening of the Canadian Opera
Company, but it was not to be. Ethel was loved and admired by
cousins Raizel and Sulie
SPECTOR,
Elizabeth and Neil
COOPER,
Bill and the late Bryna
PARK, and Arnold and Dina
SIMONOFF; the
Kates family; and by her second cousin Mavis
PIECZONKA and her
family. Ethel crafted a life rich in experience and relationships
she will be missed by her many Friends and colleagues. Ethel
will be buried from Holy Blossom Temple, 1950 Bathurst Street, on
Sunday, April 16, 2006 at 10: 30 a.m. Interment at Holy Blossom
Memorial Park. If desired, donations may be made to the Ethel
Raicus Memorial Fund c/o the Benjamin Foundation (416-780-0324).

Enn "

Passed away peacefully on July 2nd, 2006. He was 86. Beloved
husband of Linda, father of Mart (Wynn), step-father of Rein
VORNE
(Reni and grandkids Alex and Robbie.) Born in Estonia,
Enn was a rising soccer star until World War 2 turned his life
upside down. After surviving Siberia and displaced persons camps,
he emigrated to Canada after the war and settled in Kirkland
Lake, Ontario. He worked in the gold mines of this booming town
for several years before moving his family to Toronto in 1960.
He worked as a statistician for a survey company for 8 years
and then for the Province of Ontario for 17 years, before retiring
in 1985 at the age of 65. Enn enjoyed all sports, was a die-hard
Blue Jay fan, and became an avid golfer at the age of 50. He
loved to tell jokes and was a prankster at heart. He will be
dearly missed by all those who knew him. Thank you to the nurses
and caregivers at Leisureworld Etobicoke for their care and compassion.
Donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada would be appreciated.
A private memorial for the family will take place.

In memory of a loving husband, father and grandfather who passed
away 10 years ago, October 12, 1996.
This month comes with deep regret
It brings back a day we cannot forget,
You left us suddenly with a short goodbye
But memories of you will never die.
May the winds of love blow softly
And whisper so you will hear,
That we will always love and miss you
And wish that you were here.

Formerly of Etobicoke, Ontario at Guelph General Hospital on

beloved husband of Marjorie
HORVATH (née Marjorie
MacVEY) and
devoted father of Joan

HORVATH [1946-1972]. Lovingly
remembered by George
MacVEY and Elaine, Eleanor
RAINE, and Betty
MacVEY of Vancouver. Dear Uncle of many nieces and nephews and
extended family in British Columbia. Eugene graduated in Mechanical
Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan (1941) where he
was active in fencing, wrestling and the debating team. He served
overseas four and a half years with the Royal Canadian Electrical
and Mechanical Engineers. After the war, in his consulting engineering
practice, he designed heating and air conditioning systems, on
such projects as the Queen Elizabeth building, the Eglinton reservoir,
the Toronto Transit Commission Bloor-Danforth subway and a variety
of public school buildings and Pumping Stations. An active member
of the Association of Professional Engineers for twenty years,
Eugene was awarded an Officer of the Order of Honour. He served
on the Executive of the Kingsway Chapter for ten years and initiated
a Careers Information program involving both practicing engineers
and guidance counsellors. An engineer, thinker and energetic
man Gene always knew what had to be done and simply kept at it,
whether during the war, managing his engineering practice, inspiring
young engineers, or being involved in local and national politics,
or skipping a curling team. He was a life time member at the
Boulevard Club. He was passionate about curling and golf, his
stamp and coin collection, his garden and most of all his home
and family. An inspiration to his children and wife of 60 years,
Gene had strength of character, enthusiasm, optimism, a delightful
sense of humour and he loved life. Dear Dad, you will remain
in our hearts forever. A memorial service will be announced later.

years ago until he retired as Deputy Commandant of the Commissionaires
in Toronto in 1994, Bill had spent a total of 53 years in uniform
as a Cub, Boy Scout, Air Cadet, Royal Military College, Army,
and the Corps. Perhaps his greatest love for his early Army days
were those when, as a very junior officer, he proudly wore the
dark tartan kilt of the Black Watch. On his first tour in Cyprus
(1964) he had the very good fortune to be attached to a British
Army Regiment - The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. Working with
'The Skins' made him regain his old love of serving with a really
great infantry regiment. Bill served in many places in Canada,
Korea 1953-54, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 1959-62,
Cyprus 1964, Cyprus 1966, Kashmir 1972-73. Following his retirement
from the army in Toronto in 1977, Bill bought a Restaurant/Pub
which he named 'Raines'(Mother's maiden name) and 'Major's'(after
his rank). After cremation there will be a small graveside service
in Cataraqui Cemetery in Kingston at his parents' grave site.
Bonnie and family will be at home on Friday-afternoon June 9
between 2 and
5. Please - no flowers or donations. Bill's wish
is please charge your glass with your favourite libation and
say 'Slainte'… Nemo Me Impune Lacessit
