QURESHI,
Hifzul
Kabeer
By Usman AHMED,

Friend, scholar, linguist, poet, author, critic, columnist. Born
September 4, 1931, in Amarvati, India. Died October 12, 2005,
in Richmond Hill, Ontario, of heart and stroke complications,
aged 74.
Growing up in a dusty little town in India, who would have imagined
that one day his presence would be of immense importance to the
Indo-Pakistani community in Toronto. After early education he
moved to Nagpur, India for his M.A. in literature. During the
riots in 1950 his family moved to Hyderabad. Hyderabad proved
to be a fertile ground for his love of literature; he met many
scholars and poets. There he worked as a copywriter before getting
a teaching post at Nagpur University.
Afterward, he moved to Bombay (now Mumbai) as a freelance writer
where his social circle included famous Bollywood movie stars
of the day. In 1962, he left India for the U.S. After a brief
teaching stint at the University of Chicago, he immigrated to
Toronto in 1965 and worked for the Ontario government. However,
he never let go of his original passion for poetry and literature.
In 1967 he started an Urdu monthly, Sahba, and later another,
Armaghan. He established the Urdu Society of Canada. This society
organized many international events, conferences and symposiums.
His dedication to the Urdu language quickly earned him the title
of Baba-e-Urdu (father of Urdu) in Toronto literary circles.
I first met him in July, 1975. I had just started to work for
the Ministry of Housing. We met on a short elevator ride. At
the time there were very few South Asian faces in Toronto and
his warm welcome made me feel comfortable in a new city; we instantly
became Friends.
Once we were walking at lunch time when he found two five-dollar
bills on the sidewalk. He immediately gave me one saying we should
share this windfall. This sense of fairness permeated his character.
In 1960 he married Afroz, younger sister of literary figure Vajida
TABBASSUM.
Despite his literary interests and other activities he never
short-changed his family life. His younger son, Doctor Rifat
QURESHI,
tells me he remembers his father for his quiet strength and limitless
wisdom. "I was always testing my father, but when I would step
over the line - -- one look from him said it all." His first
daughter, Farah, says, "Dad had a great impact on me through
his actions rather than words. He had no time for idle gossip,
waving away such talk with a sense of irritation. He had nothing
but understanding and patience for other people's points of view
whether he agreed with them or not, he always respected them."
He was an excellent translator. Soon after arriving in Toronto
he translated a Government of Ontario booklet titled A Newcomer's
Guide to Services in Ontario into Urdu. He also translated many
literary works from Urdu and Farsi into English for the benefit
of English-speaking literature students. In 1988, he authored
An Anthology of Modern Urdu Poetry, considered an authoritative
source on the subject. More recently he was working on two books:
on cultural and religious issues facing immigrants to North America
and on the evolution of the Urdu language. He also took a keen
interest in religion, history and contemporary politics.
Kabir loved life. At parties he would entertain with recitations
of his latest poems. He enjoyed his Cuban cigars and only reluctantly
gave up smoking them during the final couple of years, based
less on his doctor's advice than on the spiralling cost of his
favourite brand.
In our 30 years of Friendship, I never heard him make a negative
comment about anyone. He was a true gentleman; he lived his life
with compassionate warmth, welcoming everyone with his heart.
Usman is a friend of Hifzul
QURESHI.

Michael
John
On June 18 in Ottawa at the age of 68, in the loving company
of his former wife
Carolyn
STRAUSS
(Bruce
NESBITT) of Ottawa
and his cherished partner Mike
LEBLANC of Braeside. Greatly missed
by his beloved children Nicholas (Susan) of Désertines, France
and Samantha of Toronto and grandchildren Alexandra and Sebastian.
Also survived by his mother Sybil and brother Peter (Gail) of
Toronto. Born in London, he began his theatrical career as an
air-raid-shelter busker and boy actor in the West End. A stage
producer, director, actor and impresario since he came to Canada
in 1954, Michael managed the final act with flair and élan. He
was well-known in the theatrical world for his optimism and determination-he
always finished every production successfully and on time, including
this, his last, a day after Nicholas arrived. He became the poster
boy for pancreatic cancer, undergoing experimental chemotherapy
and living with the disease for more than four years, to the
admiration of his many Friends around the world and the astonishment
of the medical fraternity. Michael was in great demand for his
skills in producing festivals and expositions, including the
Salle Wilfrid Pelletier venue at Expo 67, the Arts Festival at
the 1988 Calgary Olympics and Canada's cultural contributions
to the Expos in Sydney, Seville, Seoul, Lisbon and Hanover. He
and his future business partner set up the Canada Council Touring
Office and organized the first cultural exchanges with China.
For eight years he was Producer of Special Events at the National
Arts Centre, Ottawa. For the time and location of Michael's post-theatre
celebration, contact Carolyn at nesbit3@attglobal.net

On September 22, 2006 in Rennes, France at the age of 34, in
the loving company of his mother Carolyn

Bruce NESBITT of Washington, D.C. and Ottawa. Greatly missed
by his sister Samantha of Toronto, his wife Susan of La Quentinière,
his children Alexandra aged 4 and Sebastian aged 2, and Susan's
parents Lynn and Bob
MONTGOMERY of Newcastle Emlyn, Wales. Also
survived by his grandmother Sybil and his uncle, aunt and cousins
in Toronto. Predeceased by his father Michael on June 18, 2006,
Nicholas was struck by a cerebral haemorrhage on September 9
while he was building a rock garden at home. Despite intensive
efforts by hospital staff in Mayenne and Rennes, he never regained
consciousness. A kind and generous man imbued with humour, charisma
and a passion for life, Nicholas had the rare ability to make
his dreams come true. Slated to be an architect, instead he became
a professional ballroom-dancing instructor in Ottawa, London,
Ontario and London, England. He married his prettiest student
Sue, a journalist, and together they bought half of the rural
Mayenne village of La Quentinière (near Désertines on the border
of Normandy), which Nicholas was restoring. A car enthusiast,
he leaves behind four BMWs in various states of assembly.
We are inconsolable at the loss of our tall, handsome and vital
son, brother, father and husband. For information about his funeral
to be held in Ottawa, please contact Carolyn at nesbit3@attglobal.net.
