Church overflowing for funeral of 'bright star'
'Don't let his name be forgotten,' uncle asks during two-hour ceremony
By Alex DOBROTA, Page A14
To his Friends and relatives, he was an artistic teenager with a fascination for snakes and pranks, who still sucked on his thumb at times - a star that burned out ahead of its time.
But to the hundreds of mourners who knew him little yet still showed up to celebrate his memory yesterday, Jordan MANNERS became an icon for the damage gun crime has wrought in their community.
Thirty minutes before the funeral of the 15-year-old began yesterday morning, the main room at Christian Centre Church, near Jane Street and Finch Avenue, was already filled to capacity.
Hundreds more people packed the hallways, the balconies and a nearby gymnasium to watch a live feed of the proceedings. About 200 stood outside the church braving scorching heat. About as many waited at Beechwood Cemetery.
"I think it really struck a chord in the minds of people," said Pastor Dino ANDREADIS, who officiated at the ceremony. "I've done high-profile funerals, but never like this. I think this will really make a difference."
The church has a capacity of about 1,000 and Mr. ANDREADIS estimates more than 1,500 showed up yesterday.
The teen was shot last Wednesday inside his school, C.W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute. Two 17-year-old youths have been charged with first-degree murder.
After collapsing with grief on a chair steps away from his coffin, his mother, Laureen SMALL, took one last look at her son. She then watched pallbearers close the casket and the two-hour-long ceremony began.
One of Jordan's aunts told how he sucked on his thumb at times during his sleep. One of his teachers described how he easily reproduced a complicated architecture diagram in less than an hour. And the story of how Jordan brought snakes into his house elicited a rare moment of laughter.
"The world lost a bright, bright star," his aunt, Louisa MANNERS, said during her eulogy.
During one of the most emotional moments, Jordan's school mate and friend, Matthew ALAY, burst into tears and was unable to read a speech, which was delivered by a relative. "Jordan, may your soul rest in peace. I love you," the boy only managed to utter between sobs.
Other relatives said Jordan's death should serve as a call to action against gun violence in the community. "He's not a statistic," his uncle Gregory STOKES said. "Don't let his name be forgotten."
As the mourners spilled out in the parking lot after the ceremony, many young people expressed anger and disgust at the shooting.
"Our young man are dying and dying and this ain't right" said 14-year-old Jessica PAZMINO, who said she never met Jordan, but decided to come to the funeral to show support. "Hopefully, this will teach people a lesson."
"People are realizing that this is disgusting," said Martha BOTENG, 19. "I see people coming together more."
Beside her, the car carrying Jordan's casket set slowly in motion toward Beechwood Cemetery, followed by two lowriders - cars with modified hydraulics and suspension so as to allow the driver to bounce the vehicle up and down to the rhythm of hip-hop music.
In their wake, traffic on Jane Street backed up several blocks and the storm clouds gathering above shed a few drops.

RUDNEY, Harry
Husband, father, scientist. Born April 14, 1918, in Toronto. Died May 30 of cancer in Cincinnati, Ohio, aged 89.
By Sue ANDREW, Page L6
My uncle Harry was born into a family of struggling Jewish immigrants. Neither of his parents could read or write English. With four sisters crammed into what few sections of the house weren't rented out, Harry was relegated to sleeping on a cot in the dining room.
Despite his obvious academic potential, he attended the Central Technical School in Toronto to learn a skill and begin work as soon as possible.
After graduating, Harry took a contract job as a lab technician with the Toronto school board, setting up experiments at night for classes the next day. He developed a keen interest in biological science and frequently attended public lectures given by University of Toronto professors, including one by Bruno MENDEL, a German Jewish refugee and cancer researcher from the Banting Institute. After the lecture, Harry wrote a letter to Doctor MENDEL suggesting an experiment.
Dr. MENDEL was so impressed that he invited Harry to tour the lab and introduced him to Sir Frederick Banting, who must have recognized his potential as well because he persuaded the school board to let Harry break his contract to work at the institute.
Dr. MENDEL took Harry under his wing and mentored him in every way, even paying for his tuition at University of Toronto from his own pocket. Harry graduated with a degree in biochemistry and physiology in 1947. He applied three or four times to the University of Toronto medical school, only to be rejected repeatedly because of quotas for Jewish students in place at the time.
Unfazed and never bitter, he moved to Cleveland, received his PhD in 1952 at Western Reserve University and eventually worked his way up to chair of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
While attending university in Toronto, Harry began a courtship with his little sister Pearl's close friend Bernice SCHNIEDER/SNIDER/SNYDER, whom he suddenly noticed wasn't so little any more. They remained loving soulmates for more than 60 years of marriage. They had two sons and, with intelligence and warmth, worked to meet the challenge of nurturing the unique qualities in each of them.
Harry further distinguished himself in the field of cholesterol biosynthesis and it was his fundamental research that was the basis for the cholesterol-lowering drugs commonly known as statins that are taken by millions of people everyday.
I asked him once if he ever felt resentful of the fortunes made from his research, and he said it never even occurred to him to exert proprietary rights over his work. His motives were pure and simple. He only wanted to contribute. He said once that he was determined to live long enough to see the results of the Human Genome Project. He never feared the future. He embraced it.
Sue ANDREW is Harry's niece.

'A terrible tragedy'
She was London police's highest-ranking female officer, respected and moving up quickly; he was a tough, compassionate cop retired after 35 years. Their deaths have stunned a city.
By Jane SIMS, Sun Media, Fri., June 8, 2007
Kelly JOHNSON broke through the glass ceiling of the London police department and had become a role model for the women on the force.
About to take over the helm of the professional standards branch as an inspector, the force's highest-ranking woman, she was viewed as a potential future chief.
She was born with policing in her blood. She was the only child of Merv JOHNSON, who retired as London's deputy chief.
She started with the police force 18 years ago, travelling up the ranks in traffic and criminal investigations.
Along the way, the 40-year-old JOHNSON earned the respect and admiration of many in the anti-violence community.
Yesterday, those who knew her as a friend, officer and anti-violence advocate reacted with shock and sadness to her violent death.
"It's sad. It's terrible," said retired superintendent Don ANDREWS, who was JOHNSON's father's partner on the break- and-enter squad years ago.
ANDREWS knew JOHNSON from her childhood and attended her wedding to London police Insp. Steve PEARSON about a decade ago.
PEARSON retired from the force last Friday. The couple was estranged. JOHNSON was set to fill the post left by PEARSON. She'd earned it.
ANDREWS, admittedly never a strong supporter of women in policing, said: "She was one of the ones I thought was a good one."
Most recently, she headed up the force's sexual assault and child abuse section, an area that includes domestic violence investigations.
She was a respected member of the London Co-ordinating Committee to End Women Abuse.
"What she brought was the understanding of a criminal justice perspective and an openness and a willingness to understand from a community perspective as well," said Barb MacQUARRIE, community director of the Centre of Violence Against Women and Children.
She seemed open to anything. She'd recently attended a forum on the sex trade, an area police have struggled to deal with, MacQUARRIE said.
"This is a terrible loss in our community. It is going to have a big impact on many people that (LUCIO and JOHNSON) worked with," she said.
Middlesex Crown attorney Geoff BEASLEY said JOHNSON will be "sorely missed" by colleagues in the justice system.
"She was highly respected for her skills as a police officer and for the professionalism and compassion she brought to the investigations she conducted," he said.
One of JOHNSON's most challenging cases in recent years was that of Edith SANDERS, an octogenarian child abuser who tortured her biological daughter and an adopted daughter and held another woman in virtual slavery for decades.
Megan WALKER, executive director of the London Abused Women's Centre, served with JOHNSON on anti-violence committees and spoke of her "valuable contribution."
Yesterday, she recalled a recent conversation the two had on a protest march downtown. It was cold that morning, and JOHNSON wasn't dressed for the chill.
Nevertheless, "we had a lovely early-morning chat in this protest march… a wonderful warm talk.
"I am just overcome with sorrow for those who will be impacted by the loss," she said.
"We talk all the time about domestic violence and getting involved," WALKER said. "Truly, we really don't know what goes on in the lives of people, do we?"
JOHNSON also faced personal tragedy. Her mother, Donna, died of cancer late in 2005. She had been seriously hurt before that, struck by a vehicle.
"She was ill in one way or another for quite some period of time, but when Donna did pass away, Kelly and Merv joined together and faced it in a strong fashion," said former London deputy police chief Elgin AUSTEN.

Marion is sadly missed and proudly remembered by her sons and daughters-in-law John and Susanne WILSON and Douglas and Susan WILSON, by her granddaughters and their partners Erin WILSON and Rick ANDREWS and Sarah WILSON and Ken MERCER, along with her extended family and the many Friends whose lives she touched over 94 years. Marion and husband John (the late Dr. W.J.

Marion began painting in the 1970's, both in oils and in watercolours, and has left the family a tangible and treasured legacy of her creative spirit. In recent years Marion and John remained active and enthusiastic members of the Uxbridge community enjoying golf, Friends and community activities. Marion was always inspired and sustained by what she loved the most -- her family, her Friends, her painting and her many memories of a life well-lived. Marion's family, Friends and community will celebrate that wonderful life with a memorial gathering at the Low and Low Uxbridge Chapel, 23 Main Street, Uxbridge, Ontario (905 852-3073) to be held on October 27th at 1: 30 p.m. The family would like to extend special thanks to Laurie MOUNTFORD, and the staff of Country Home Care for their gentle care and Friendship in what became Marion's beautiful second home.
