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."

The extended Crockett family in the U.S. also mourns his loss. Dick's Friends and colleagues and anyone who had the chance to get to know him are saddened by his passing. Dick's lifelong love of travel began early, at six months old, when he travelled by ocean liner to Toronto from Portsmouth, England where he was born. Dick distinguished himself early on by winning Cutest Baby Award at the Broadview Boys' Institute Fair. Dick got a kick out of being one of St. Clement's School's oldest male 'sandbox' alumni. Other fond childhood memories relate to his years spent at Ridley College and at Onondaga Camp. He went on to get his B.A. in 1946 from Trinity College, University of Toronto where he joined the Kappa Alpha Society. He then received his LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1950 and his LL.M. from Harvard Law School in 1951. During World War 2 Dick served as an Royal Canadian Air Force and Royal Air Force pilot in the United Kingdom, India and Burma (1942-1946). He flew with Royal Air Force Coastal Command out of England in 1944 and flew his own DC3 to India. He flew Air Transport with the 31 Squadron Royal Air Force, dropping supplies to the British Army in 'the forgotten war' in Burma from January to November 1945. He was discharged with the rank of Flying Officer and finally returned to Canada in January 1946. Dick loved practising corporate law. He was a partner of Borden and Elliot (now Borden Ladner Gervais LLP) from 1956 to 1990. He established the Canadian Investor Protection Fund, the Canadian Securities Institute and the Canadian Depository for Securities and was advisor to these self-regulatory organizations as well as the Investment Dealers Association of Canada. He was one of the first lawyers to have expertise in the mutual fund industry. Mr. MEECH was the Honorary Consul General of Thailand. He was appointed Commander of the Most Exalted Order of the White Elephant (Thailand) in 1986 and Knight Commander of the Most Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand in 1990. He was the longest serving Honorary Consul General of the Consular Corps of Toronto (1967-2007).

Jean graduated from the College of Home Economics at the University of Saskatchewan in 1941 and completed her dietetic internship at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, British Columbia in 1942. She worked for the Junior Red Cross in Saskatchewan for the remainder of the war years, and was awarded a MBE (Member of the British Empire) for her efforts. She went on to complete an M.A. in Public Health at the University of Michigan and returned to Saskatchewan as the first provincial nutritionist, a post she held for several years. Jean married Arthur WENHARDT in 1951 and their children Lorna, Wesley and Murray were all born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. The family relocated to Saskatoon in 1961. She was predeceased by her husband Arthur in 1988 and Jean moved to Victoria in 2003. Jean's connections to people were vital and her relationships dear.

Left to carry on her spirit are her three children: Lorna (Gibson) Victoria, Wesley (Paula) Vancouver, and Murray (Venice) Toronto and her five adored grandchildren: Matthew PIERCE of Brisbane, Australia, Daniel PIERCE (Alison BAILLIE) of Vancouver, Robin PIERCE (David SPICER) of Auch, France, and Ella Jean and Brynn Helena WENHARDT of Toronto.

Dalrymple man dies in river
Lucas TINSLEY, 19, attended Twin Lakes Secondary School in Orillia
By Jason BAIN, Wednesday, August 08, 2007
Lucas TINSLEY, 19, died Monday in the Black River.
Photo: Submitted
Digby Township -- Summer fun turned to tragedy Monday when a 19-year-old Dalrymple man died while swimming in the northwest reaches of the City of Kawartha Lakes.
Lucas TINSLEY, who attended Twin Lakes Secondary School in Orillia, disappeared while swimming with a male friend in a turbulent section of the Black River at the foot of a waterfall, said City of Kawartha Lakes Ontario Provincial Police.
Several other family members of the victim were on shore at the same location, said detachment media relations officer Const. Mark BOILEAU.
“They were watching, unfortunately,” he said.
Emergency crews were called to the scene northeast of Sebright around 2: 30 p.m.
Assisted by Carden division firefighters, the Ontario Provincial Police underwater search and recovery unit scoured a remote area known as Ragged Rapids along Black River Road, an extremely narrow dirt road that extends partially into the virtually unpopulated former Longford Township.
The mishap took place in an unpopulated, protected natural area that forms part of the 335-square-kilometre Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park.
Police said they found the young man's body around 8 p.m. in the same area of the river where he had disappeared. A post-mortem was scheduled for Tuesday at Lindsay's Ross Memorial Hospital to determine the cause of death.
The Black River, which runs from Haliburton County to Washago, is the main tributary of the Severn River. It is managed by Parks Canada as part of the Trent-Severn Waterway.
