Com, '1934), where he captained the track team and ran in the British Empire Games. On holiday back in Ottawa he met and fell in love with Girlie ROBERTSON. They married as soon as studies and finances permitted, and formed a true matrimonial partnership that lasted 68 years. In 1939 he joined the Canadian Army and during the war rose through the ranks of the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps with assignments of ever increasing importance. At war's end he was persuaded to continue his military career with postings and further training at the Staff College in Washington, D.C., and the University of Toronto where he completed his Masters of Commerce before returning to Army Headquarters in Ottawa. Ultimately he served as the Director of Army Budget, and after the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces as Deputy Comptroller General. He retired from the Canadian Forces on a Friday, and commenced a second career in the civil service of Canada the following Monday. On reaching retirement age once more, he was persuaded to continue on as Chairman of the Contracts Dispute Settlement Board of the Department of Supply and Services on a part time basis, a position that he held to age 70. He lived a full and honourable life. He loved his family and his country, and taught those who knew and loved him to do the same. A graveside celebration of life and interment service will be held for both Frank and Girlie ANDERSON on July 7, 2007, at 10: 30 A.M., at Pinecrest Cemetery, Ottawa, followed by a reception in the Pinecrest Reception Centre.

Born July 26, 1924 in Glen Norman, Ontario, on the same farm founded by her great-grandfather, Marjory died on June 30, 2007 in the Delta Hospital while sharing a quiet cup of coffee with Blair, her husband of 60 years.

Marjory's immense spirit was a constant source of strength to her family and her countless Friends. From cherished times spent around the dinner table at home on Tsawwassen Beach (and the waiting for green flashes at sunset), to her energetic participation in the University Women's Club, yoga and exercise classes, a favourite book club and regular bridge meetings, so many were influenced by Marjory's relentless focus on the positive, her openness to new ideas, the twinkle in her eye, and her beautiful smile. For all these hours filled with joy and laughter with Marjory, we will always be truly thankful.

Father hailed as hero for sacrifice on Lake Superior
By Ian BAILEY and Matthew TREVISAN, Page A6
Vancouver, Toronto -- Kenny LIM wasn't a strong swimmer, but he was a strong father.
That devotion to his children prompted him to try to save his son, Dexter, when they found themselves in trouble while swimming in Lake Superior. The 10-year-old survived, but the effort cost his 47-year-old father his life.
Cynthia LIM, Mr. LIM's wife of 15 years, conceded yesterday that her husband wasn't much of a swimmer.
"He swam a little bit in pools, but only if he could see the bottom," Mrs. LIM said after a memorial service yesterday that drew an overflow crowd to the family's Baptist church in their central Vancouver neighbourhood.
She wasn't surprised by his final act. "He never would have hesitated. That wouldn't have been in him."
Her brother, David WRIGHT, agreed, standing outside in the sunshine after the emotional memorial service where tears over Mr. LIM's passing mingled easily with laughter over Mr. LIM's endearing quirks.
"It's a horrible situation to be in," Mr. WRIGHT said, pondering the dilemma his brother-in-law faced in his final moments. "But it does show what Kenny was like. The core of Kenny's character was that love he has for other people. That's something that won't be forgotten."
Mr. LIM, a graphic artist at CTV in Vancouver for the past 10 years, was coming home from Ontario after a four-week vacation that took his wife and three children across Canada to visit family in Toronto. In addition to Dexter, there are two daughters, Malika, 14, and six-year-old Akita.
At about 2 p.m. on July 21, he was swimming in Lake Superior with Dexter near where MacLean's Creek flows into the lake, Ontario Provincial Police said.
The family was staying at Rainbow Falls Provincial Park - about 25 kilometres west of Terrace Bay in northwestern Ontario - and were swimming after a week of heavy rainfall, said Nipigon Ontario Provincial Police Staff Sergeant Brent ANDERSON.
"There was some heavy runoff coming out of the creek and the current being what it was, I think Mr. LIM got out there and got into that current," he said.
Staff Sgt. ANDERSON said conflicting witness statements made it unclear what happened next: Either Dexter started having difficulty swimming and Mr. LIM swam to his son's side, or they both had trouble swimming.
"They were out there together and, at some point, it became evident the father was struggling to swim and, at that point, the son was certainly trying to help the father," Staff Sgt. ANDERSON said.
A nearby camper came to their aid, and the camper and Dexter made it safely to shore. Mr. LIM, however, slipped beneath the surface.
About 90 minutes later, a boater who had volunteered to search the lake with an Ontario Provincial Police officer found Mr. LIM in water 3½ metres deep, about nine metres away from where he was last spotted. An autopsy report later confirmed he drowned.
Aspects of the situation may have been unclear to police, but Mr. LIM's Friends and family yesterday saw things with clarity. He was a hero.
"No one wants to see anyone leave this earth," Jim Leung, a CTV camera operator in Vancouver, said after the service. "But what a way to do it, as a hero."
The pair had worked together for a decade. Mr. Leung last saw Mr. LIM the day before he left on his vacation.
Mr. LIM was always cheerful - "I got a really good vibe from him" - but seemed in especially good spirits before that break.
"He was so looking forward to getting away. It was one of his first vacations for a very, very long time and I knew he needed it. You know: pressures at work as anyone's life has. I was so happy for him to take a breath and to be happy with his family."
There was little, if any, reference during the service yesterday to exactly how Mr. LIM died.
Mourners instead laughed and wept through vivid recollections of how Mr. LIM lived, touching on his devotion to his family, his Friends, his colleagues and his Christian faith. There was talk of his technical wizardry, his intense ability to focus, and his dedicated service as a Cub Scout leader.
Mr. WRIGHT chuckled at how his brother-in-law taught himself to play guitar over the past five years. They struggled together.
"We would get together and try and strum some songs, but we couldn't keep the rhythm. That was a funny time. But he kept up with it. He would look [things] up on the Internet, look things up all the time."
Mr. LIM had always loved music. "He was too busy with life to [learn guitar], and he thought he would never do it, then he saw his younger brother-in-law picking it up, and he thought, 'What am I waiting for?' "
Speaking an hour earlier to the gathered mourners, Mr. WRIGHT said Mr. LIM's death was a shock and a tragedy. "He had so much living left to do."
Asked how the family was doing, Mrs. LIM said, "It's tough," but added that their faith is strong and their church has offered "awesome" support.
Mrs. LIM doubted her husband was afraid at the end.
"He loved his son so much he would have done anything. It didn't matter. He wouldn't have thought. He would just immediately have gone."

RICH, Keith▲
Passed away suddenly at his home in Meaford on Monday, November 19, 2007 at the age of 80. Keith was born in Dugald, Manitoba in 1927 and was raised in Edmonton by his father, Doctor Charles B. RICH, and his mother Florence RICH née JACKSON. He served his radio apprenticeship with CHOB Pembroke, Ontario, CJBI Victoria, and CJCA Edmonton where he spent 4 years. Keith moved to Toronto in the late 1950s and joined CFRB. After 2 years, he teamed up with fellow Edmontonian Steve Woodman to resume work as a radio tag team and their success led to a 2 year stint with WNBC in New York City. In 1964, Keith and his family moved backed to Toronto where he began a 22 year tenure as CKEY's morning man. Then in 1986 Keith made the move to CJCL where he remained until his retirement from radio in 1990. After Keith left radio he turned his forever interest in farming into a full-time occupation. Keith and his wife Elizabeth also bred Australian shepherds and their dogs were much loved companions. Another passion of Keith's was researching and writing on Canadian and British aviation history. The lure of flying also drew him into collecting and restoring vintage aircraft with the Collingwood Classic Aircraft Foundation. Aviation was a focus for much of Keith's life, including many cross-country trips piloting his own plane with family in tow, and ownership of the airport in Midland, Ontario. Keith excelled in building all manner of structures and vessels and was particularly adept at recruiting his workers by inviting Friends and family up to the farm for a 'get together' only to hand them a hammer shortly after they arrived. All workers were handsomely rewarded with wonderful conversation and much revelry. Keith is predeceased by his wife Elizabeth▲ SHELDRICK, and survived by children Chris, Robin, Michael and Kevin, his first wife Virginia, sisters Daphne ANDERSON and Josephine FINLAYSON, and grandchildren Samantha and Mackenzie RICH. Please▲ join Keith's family to celebrate his life on Thursday, November 29th from 1-3 p.m. at the Gardiner-Wilson Funeral Home, 69 Denmark Street, Meaford, Ontario (519) 538-2550, followed by a reception at the Meaford Castle Restaurant, 365 Sykes Street, from 3-5 p.m. If desired, the family requests that a donation be made to the Salvation Army.
