SAWCHUK,
Taras
Michael▲
With love and sadness, his family records his passing, in the
very early morning of Thursday, February 9, 2006, at Sudbury
Regional Hospital, Laurentian Site, Sudbury, Ontario, from complications
due to Parkinson's disease. Taras was born in Britannia Beach,
British Columbia, July 18, 1926, to Ukrainian immigrant parents,
Mitchal and Sophie (née
DEMKIW.)
The young family moved to Sudbury
in the early 1930s. He attended Sudbury High School and continued
his education in architectural design at Ryerson Polytechnical
Institute, Toronto. In Toronto he also met his wife, Sonia (nee
NICOLOFF,) and they returned to raise their three children in
Sudbury where he initially pursued a career in architecture.
In the 1960s he designed Chelmsford Valley District Composite
School and went on to become a dedicated and much-loved teacher
in the same school in the 1960s through to his retirement late
1980s. He returned to British Columbia in the 1990s, for love.
He was an enthusiastic Vancouver folk orchestra member. He created
regular opportunities for travel with family members and close
Friends, to share his love of music, theatre and visual arts.
He was a watercolour artist. He loved the Canadian outdoors and
was an avid cross-country skier and tennis player. He moved once
more to Sudbury in 2001 where, in spite of failing health, he
is remembered by those who assisted him as a gentle, considerate
man, who retained his exceptional social graces (and love of
dancing) to the end. If desired, a donation to a humanitarian
cause of your choice is an appropriate remembrance of his strong
convictions and activism in that regard. Taras was also a life-long
member of the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians and a
founding member of the Sudbury Jubilee Folk Ensemble. He is survived
by his loving partner, Margot
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON; his son, Jim; two daughters,
Sonia and Taressa; three grandchildren, Justin, Mikaila and Wave
his brother, Oryst; and nephew, Sergei. Shortly before his death,
Taras learned he would be a great-grandfather. Alexander Tarino
SAWCHUK is expected in March. Friends and family will be received
at the Jackson and Barnard Funeral Home (233 Larch Street, Sudbury,
Ontario, P3B 1M2, 1-800-461-0159), on Sunday, February 19, from
2 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. A Memorial Service to celebrate his
life is planned for the spring in Sudbury. Ash interment is also
planned for the spring.

SAWYER loved engineering -- his wife, Susan, says
he was born to the job -- it was his hobby that put him into
the public sphere.
Ringing bells may seem straightforward, but it is actually very
difficult to manage a full peal. There are ropes, bells, varying
rhythms and more to consider. In short, it's a perfect form of
music for an engineer, according to Mrs.
SAWYER, and both the
hobby and the profession were constants in Mr.
SAWYER's life.
An engineer with Ontario Hydro for 25 years, he worked on some
of the region's biggest construction projects, including the
Bruce nuclear power station, before taking early retirement in
Mr. SAWYER learned change ringing -- the art of ringing a set
of tuned bells in a series of mathematical patterns -- in England
as a 10-year-old boy, but was thwarted by a lack of equipment
when he moved to Canada.
Instead, he started a hand-bell choir at Saint Peter's Anglican
Church in Mississauga before helping bring a 12-bell peal to
Saint_James Cathedral downtown in 1997.
The day the bell peal was first rung over Toronto was a highlight
of his life, Mrs.
SAWYER said, along with his wedding day and
the births of his sons, Christopher and Andrew.
A month shy of his 64th birthday, and three months before his
40th wedding anniversary, Mr.
SAWYER died of a heart attack on
June 2.
Fittingly, the muffled sound of his beloved bells sang a sombre
farewell at his funeral at Saint_James on June 8.
"That was the bit I was dreading, but in actual fact I found
it particularly comforting," Mrs.
SAWYER said.
"The bells will always be there and hopefully there will always
be ringers to carry on."

Derek SAWYER, 63: Exalted bell-ringer
Derek SAWYER brought glorious sounds to Toronto church
Engineer at Ontario Hydro engaged in a heavenly hobby
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
He was Toronto's lord of the rings, the man who brought North
America's first -- and so far only -- set of 12 glorious change
bells to the tower of Saint_James' Cathedral.
You can hear them every Sunday morning, heralding the start of
the two services at the King St. E. church. If you are lucky,
you can hear them at other random times as they commemorate a
wedding, a bicentennial, perhaps, or a synod.
These are not stationary chiming bells; these are not bells wired
to a computer tolling the quarter-hour. These are something different
bronze bells hung in frames allowing a full 360-degree swing
and weighing between 110 kilograms and two tonnes.
Ringing Saint_James's great bronze bells in a precise orderly relationship,
one after another, creates change ringing. There are a possible
479 million changes, and completing just one of them requires
skill and a mastery of an ancient English art that goes back
to the Middle Ages. It also necessitates a band of change ringers
at least as enthralled, if not as obsessed, as was Derek
SAWYER.
"Bells are the loud voice of the church and they reach out to
the people outside of the church," he once told a reporter for
this newspaper.
But they were his voice, too, his joy, his passion, his ode to
life.
SAWYER was a 10-year-old choirboy in Leicestershire, England,
when he noticed the parish bell ringers only had to come to church
a few minutes before the service, not the half-hour earlier required
of him. That was all it took for him to try it -- standing on
a wooden box -- and once he had tried it, he was hooked.
"I won't say change ringing is addictive," his wife Susan said,
"but it is obsessive." She likens their sound to the bagpipes,
in that the listener "either loves them or hates them." She capitulated
and learned the art of change ringing seven years ago.
Derek SAWYER became master of the change-ringing society at Bristol
University, where he studied electrical engineering. Had he not
signed on for what he thought would be just a short three-year
work adventure in Canada, he would have no doubt gone on to become
master at the Leicester Cathedral.
Instead he stayed in Canada, in Toronto, where he worked for
Ontario Hydro for 27 years. He took vacations to American cities,
where there were change bells he could ring, and spent many weekends
in Quebec City cleaning, tuning and hanging new bell-changing
ropes in the tower of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity.
"Change ringing there had been off and on until Derek did that,"
said cathedral tower captain Douglas Kitson. "Now it's solid."
Back on home ground,
SAWYER had to resort to a hand bell-ringing
group he started with three others pining for change-bell ringing.
"It was second best," Susan
SAWYER admitted.
After his group disbanded in the mid-1970s,
SAWYER was left with
a set of 12 hand-ringing bells and no ringers. He wasted no time
in creating a new group with teens from his church, Saint Peter's
Anglican, which started with rehearsals around his Mississauga
dining room and grew to become a group of adults who rang bells
in nursing homes and hospitals, as well as in other churches.
Gregarious and personable,
SAWYER was a communicator and his
enthusiasm for his hobby was not only palpable, it was contagious.
And so when an Australian magnate and change-bell aficionado
phoned him on his way through Toronto to say he thought there
should be a set of change bells in this city and that he would
find them,
SAWYER saw the opportunity to make his dream come
true.
It took him seven years -- and fundraising amounting to $500,000
but by the end of March 1997, the ship carrying 10 bells cast
in 1828 from bronze taken from French cannons captured during
the Battle of Waterloo arrived in Toronto's harbour. Eight survived
the trip; four new bells were recast from the leftover gun metal.
They were uncrated and set out on platforms in a warehouse along
Queens Quay for a welcoming party -- "I think everybody (from
the church) could actually believe they were going in at that
point," Susan recalled -- then transported on a flatbed to the
church.
SAWYER took the day off work, determined to see the fruition
of what he'd worked so long for.
"It was always a burning idea in Derek's mind that we have bells
in Toronto and his engineering background had them install it
properly," said Derek
DODD, a cathedral parishioner but not a
change-bell ringer at the time.
But he was among a small group whom
SAWYER taught to ring in
time for their dedication ceremony that June 27, a date that
also marked the cathedral's 200th anniversary. Ringers flew in
from England for the event, but the local ringers -- the ones
SAWYER had been training three or four times a week for several
months -- also rang during the dedication service.
"Derek was in charge and he gave each person, each local member,
a chance to ring the bell at a certain point in time. We felt
it was important we did it ourselves,"
DODD said. "It was a thrill.
We were all congratulating each other, high-fiving, reaching
out and touching each other in the tower. We did it. We did it."
Queen Elizabeth attended the service that Sunday and
SAWYER was
presented to her. He later reported to his wife that the Queen
knew her bells and could talk the talk -- the monarch had told
him she thought the 12s so much richer than 10s or 8s.
After SAWYER retired in 2002, he and Susan went change ringing
in Australia, in the cathedral in Leicester and even in Westminster
Abbey, an honour marking
SAWYER's skill. This past May, they
were in Quebec City for an annual get-together of the North American
Guild of Change Ringers.
SAWYER spent most of his time in the bell tower.
On the way home, the
SAWYERs stopped off in Kingston to see their
younger son Andrew, just home from serving in Afghanistan. The
following Friday, June 2,
SAWYER died unexpectedly, in his sleep.
The Saint_James' Cathedral bell ringers gathered in the tower the
following Thursday to ring for
SAWYER's funeral.
"That was when the full emotion of the ringers came out,"
DODD
said. "It was very private, between ourselves. We supported each
other."
SAWYER's oldest son Christopher, a geologist, joined them for
the half-muffled ring; Susan
SAWYER heard it from the church.
On the evening of June 27, the anniversary of the day change
bells finally rang out in Toronto and the day he would have turned
64, ringers gathered in towers throughout North America to honour
SAWYER, the man for whom the bells always tolled.
