COLE, Elvin and Zelma
In loving memory of our parents, Elvin, August 17, 2004 and Zelma, March 25, 1996.
We hold you tightly within our hearts
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without you,
But it will never be the same.
For those who have their Mom and Dad,
Treat them with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness
when you turn and they're not there.
- Always remembered and deeply missed by Cecil and Al.

Man hurt in 'terrible' barbecue blast dies
Fire officials issue a safety warning about propane tanks after the elderly victim's death.
By Randy RICHMOND, Sun Media, Fri., July 20, 2007
An elderly air force veteran burned in a propane barbecue explosion has died, prompting a warning from city firefighters about the potential dangers of the "routine household product."
John (Jack) COLEMAN died Wednesday from burns received three weeks ago.
He was 84.
A relative said yesterday the family is in shock.
"He was a great guy," the relative said.
Firefighters say COLEMAN was operating his propane barbecue June 25 at his residence, Unit 20 of 1755 Louise Blvd., near Richmond Street and Fanshawe Park Road.
A spare propane tank stored near the barbecue grew hot and, under pressure, the gas inside was released.
The barbecue's flames ignited the venting gas.
COLEMAN's deck started on fire and he tried to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher. But the propane tank released gas again, this time directly at him.
"It was like a mini-explosion," said Jack PLANT, chief fire prevention officer.
COLEMAN received third-degree burns to a substantial portion of his body, said fire department spokesperson Rick JEFFERSON.
"It is a terrible thing."
Propane is an explosive gas and its containers must be treated with caution, firefighters reminded Londoners yesterday.
"It's a routine product that people use all the time," JEFFERSON said.
But people don't use it properly all the time, firefighters said.
Propane tanks should never be stored near heat sources or inside, PLANT said.
"The sun shouldn't affect it but shade is better."
Propane gas is heavier than air and can collect at the floor level inside a home, making it difficult to detect.
A simple spark can ignite it and cause considerable damage inside a home.
Many people transport the tanks incorrectly as well, JEFFERSON said, pointing out tanks shouldn't be transported in the trunk of a car, where they can roll and hit other objects.
That in turn could release a tank's valve.
Released gas can build up in the trunk, close to a vehicle's many heat sources, JEFFERSON said.
It's safer to put the tank in the front seat, upright, with all the windows open to vent any gas, he added.
COLEMAN served in the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Second World War, and after the war worked for Beatty Brothers of Fergus, Ontario, and from 1957 to 1987 with National Starch and Chemical Company.
He joined the Freemason's Saint_John's Lodge 209A in 1953 and volunteered with the Consistory Club, which provides equipment for the handicapped.
COLEMAN is survived by his wife of 56 years, Shirley, three children, seven grandchildren, and his brother and sister.
His funeral will be at 11 a.m. Monday at Robinson Memorial United Church, 1061 Richmond Street, at Sherwood Avenue.

COLEMAN, Doctor William Hugh (April 13, 1918-September 22, 2007)
Bill COLEMAN passed away peacefully on September 22, 2007 in Orillia, Ontario. He was the beloved husband of the late Nell (née ROY;) cherished father of Diane (Bryan MERCER) in Calgary, Dale (Colin WHEELER) in Whitby, and Hugh (Ennis) in Orillia devoted grandfather of Robin, Tara, Jocelyn, Jeff and Mark, and great-grandfather of Fiona; much-loved brother of Catherine PERCIVAL, Helen (predeceased) and Herbert (predeceased); and fond uncle to two nieces and four nephews. Born in Palmerston, Ontario to Dr. Herbert and Mary Moore COLEMAN, Bill moved with the family to Toronto as a young boy. He completed his DDS degree at the University of Toronto in 1943, earning his way by working on Great Lakes boats and picking tobacco. He then served two years as a Captain in the Royal Canadian Air Force dental corps, posted to Aylmer, Ontario. He married his high school sweetheart, Nell ROY, an occupational therapist, in 1942 in Hamilton. After leaving the Air Force, he set up his dental practice in Toronto, and practiced until 1983, when his health mandated retirement. He was a dedicated member of the Lions Clubs in Leaside, Markham and Bracebridge, coordinating their fall pumpkin sales and many other aspects of fundraising and social events. After 60 years of participation, he was presented with a Lions Lifetime Award, of which he was justly proud. 'Papa' was a fun guy. His big smile and infectious sense of humour will be fondly remembered by all of his family, as well as by his Friends from Toronto, Markham, Bracebridge and Orillia; by his dental patients who loved their 'Dr. Bill'; and by those with whom he sang in choirs and in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, played golf, curled, played bridge, camped and cottaged, boated and fished, sipped manhattans, and just enjoyed life. He loved the outdoors, the cottage and the lake - a passion shared by his children - and always had a dog to follow him around. He loved a good garage sale, grilled a great steak, could fix anything, and produced both good furniture and bad wine from his workshop. The family extends their sincere appreciation to the staff of the Birchmere Retirement Residence and of the Dialysis Unit of the Orillia Hospital for their kind care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. No service by request; a private cremation has taken place. Messages of condolence are welcomed at www.mundellfuneralhome.ca

Barbara graduated from the Margaret Eaton School of Physical Education and the University of Western Ontario where she taught for four years. She furthered her career assisting Boris VOLKOV with teaching ballet (Toronto) and, then, exercise for Elizabeth Arden in Toronto, London and Paris while her beloved Herbert completed his F.R.C.S. at Edinburgh. Following his service in the war, they settled in Wychwood Park, Toronto before retirement to Southampton, Ontario. Her life-long interest in physical fitness served her well throughout her life as she walked daily around the Wychwood pond, along the shores of Lake Huron and down the country roads near Everton. She assisted the Canadian National Institute for the Blind with excercise programs for the visually challenged.
Barbara also loved music and mastered the classical guitar under the guidance of Eli Kastner. The musical instruments she acquired over a lifetime of travel (particularly Switzerland) are now the Crowe-Coleman Collection at the University of Guelph. She wrote a childrens' book (Raffaella and the Mandolin. A Lute Fancy) to interest young Canadians in their musical heritage.
She lived her life with joy and caring. With her gentle way, wide interests and good humour, she shared generously of herself to all who knew her.
She was much loved and will be missed.
The family wishes to thank the staff at St. Andrew's Terrace (Cambridge) for their compassionate care during her last years.
In respect to her wishes, cremation has occurred and a private family gathering will be held prior to inurnment in the Crowe family plot at Woodlawn Memorial Park, Guelph. Arrangements are entrusted to the Gilchrist Chapel - McIntyre and Wilkie Funeral Home, One Delhi Street, Guelph (519-824-0031).
