Fergie remembered
By Jered STUFFCO, Canadian Press, Sun., July 22, 2007
Windsor -- Hit first and keep swinging.
That was one of the credos by which former Montreal Canadians
enforcer John
FERGUSON
Sr. led his life -- on and off the ice.
But while
FERGUSON made his name as a tough guy in the mid 1960s
to early 1970s, the hundreds of mourners who packed the All Saints
Anglican Church here yesterday morning remembered a devoted father
and husband.
"I strive to emulate my father's traits," said Toronto Maple
Leafs general manager John
FERGUSON
Jr., who remembered his dad
as a caring and compassionate man.
FERGUSON, who rarely lost a fight on the ice during his career,
succumbed to cancer last Saturday at the age of 68.
"He lived by standards that may seem incongruous to those who
don't know him," the younger
FERGUSON said.
The service began with a family procession punctuated by the
sombre sound of bagpipes. And during an emotional eulogy, the
younger FERGUSON shared some of his favourite memories.
Once, when his father came home with a cast on his fist after
an on-ice incident with Eddie Westfall, the younger
FERGUSON,
who was five when his father retired, asked his dad if he'd ever
lost a fight on the ice.
"Only to your mom, son," the enforcer replied.
FERGUSON
Jr. also told the crowded church how his parents met
56 years ago in Vancouver, and how their love and dedication
to one another was an inspiration and an example.
"I now know that no boy or family could ever have a better father,"
he said.
Ted Foreman, a close friend who worked with the elder
FERGUSON
during his tenure as general manager of the Winnipeg Jets, said
his friend was like a "good dinner roll -- crusty on the outside
but soft on the inside."
FERGUSON
Sr. was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September 2005,
and FERGUSON's daughter, Joanne, recalled how her father's courage
and determination never swayed.
"Cancer is so limited, it cannot cripple love or shatter hope,"
she said.
FERGUSON
Sr. was an integral part of a Montreal Canadians squad
which won the Stanley Cup five times during his career from 1964 to
In 500 regular-season games, he accumulated 303 points (145 goals,
158 assists). His rugged playing style also earned him 1,214 penalty
minutes.
Joining the senior
FERGUSON's four children, 10 grandchildren
and hundreds of Friends were many familiar faces from the hockey
world such as Montreal Canadians legend Serge Savard.
"People have to remember that when John
FERGUSON played in the
American League he was an all-star who scored 40 goals," said
Savard, who added
FERGUSON scored 29 goals one season and shared
the ice with the likes of Jean Beliveau.
"Sure, he was a tough player, but he was also a very good player."

Mom, 2 kids killed, son, dad injured in horrific crash
Police say the Hamilton-area crash occurred when a van ran a
stop sign.
By Rob LAMBERTI, Sun Media, Sat., August 25, 2007
Hamilton -- A family's plan of a new start to their lives ended
in tragedy when a van ran a stop sign and demolished their minivan
near Brantford, killing a mom and two of her kids.
Shannon O'LEARY, 32, and her two-month-old daughter Hailey
O'LEARY-
FERGUSON
died instantly in the 9: 06 p.m. Thursday crash at Brant County
Rd. 4 and the Burford-Delhi Townline Rd.
Shannon's daughter, Taylor
O'LEARY, 10, died at 3 a.m. yesterday
in Hamilton hospital, say Friends and neighbours, and her organs
were donated.
Her son, Ethan, 4, is in a medically induced coma following surgery
for severe head trauma and Shannon's husband, Dennis
FERGUSON,
is in stable condition.
The 21-year-old driver of the other van, a Chevy Astro, is in
grave condition. He is accused of running the stop sign and slamming
into the victims' northbound Pontiac Montana, which was almost
split in two by the tremendous impact.
Ariel VARGA, 12, said she's finding it difficult losing a close
friend. Taylor "was a good person. She was nice, She liked to
go shopping a lot," Ariel said. "She had lots of Friends around
here."
Friend Natalia
ALFANO, 9, said the neighbourhood girls would
play cheerleading, dolls and gymnastics. "It was really fun to
play with her," Natalia said. "We always used to laugh together
and play."
Ontario
Provincial
Police Const. Larry
PLUMMER said investigators
were told by a witness driving behind the Chevy Astro that there
were no brake lights before the Chevy crashed into the passenger
sliding door of the victims' Montana.
"It was an incredible, terrible impact," he said.
"We don't have a clue" why the driver failed to stop,
PLUMMER
said, adding the area is flat and it was a "beautiful moonlit
night."
"There's no rhyme or reason and the only person that obviously
knows was driving the vehicle and we don't expect to talk to
him for quite a while, if we ever do."
PLUMMER said it took Brant County volunteer firefighters about
20 minutes to free the trapped man.

A special tribute to a Wife and Mother!
If there is happiness in my heart
It's because you helped put it there.
If there is gentleness in my beliefs
It's because you showed me how to care.
If there is understanding in my thinking
It's because you shared your wisdom.
If there is a rainbow over my shoulder
It's because of your outlook and your vision.
If there is a knowledge that I can reach out
And can really make dreams come true
It's because I learned from the best teacher of all, I learned
it from you.
This is a tribute to Joan

Gerv enjoyed a long teaching career which began at Richmond School,
a one room school house in Carling Township, Ontario - September 1934-June 1936.
This was followed by Victory School in Parry Sound, Ontario -
September 1936-June 1939. Opportunities abounded in Sudbury so
Gerv moved north to teach at Alexander Public School - September 1939-June 1941.
He spoke fondly of summers spent at Camp Falcona as Co-Director
with good friend Bill Edgar. He left Sudbury late in 1941 to
fight in World War 2 as an Aircrew Navigator with the Royal Canadian
Air Force. He was on loan to 279 Squadron of the Royal Air Force
flying Lougheed Hudsons from the North Sea to the French, Dutch
and Danish coasts (Air Sea Resuce, Coastal Command, Bircham Newton,
Norfolk, 1943-1944). He was then transferred to 161 Squadron
of the Royal Air Force navigating Lougheed Hudsons and Stirling
aircraft as Special Duties Support dropping agents and supplies
behind enemy lines for the Resistance Movement in France, Holland,
Denmark, Northern Germany and Norway, (3 Group-Bomber Command,
Tempsford, Bedfordshire, 1944-1945). Crewmates "Nick" Nicholson,
Sam Cullen and Bud Schroeder). Gerv finished up the War with
426 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force on long range Military
Personnel Transport from Tempsford, Bedfordshire to Karachi,
India flying Liberator aircrart. (July 1945-November 19, 1945).
He returned to Sudbury to become a Principal of Queen Elizabeth
Public School, Wembley Public School, College Street Public School,
and Princess Anne Public School with the Sudbury board of Education.
Gerv spent "two of the best years of he and wife Ellen's married
life" as a Principal on loan to the Canadian Armed Forces at
Three Wing in Zweibrucken, Germany (1963-1965). The whole family
benefited immensely as a result of this wonderful opportunity.
Upon his return to Sudbury, Gerv was the Principal of Adamsdale
Public School where he retired in June 1977. Gerv served his
community for a decade as an honest and straight forward City
Councillor for both the Ryan Ward and Ward Four. He also acted
as Deputy Mayor during this time. It must also be mentioned that
Gerv was one of the four founding builders/owners of the Caswell
Motor Hotel. Gerv was born and raised in Parry Sound, Ontario.
He was always proud of his roots and often took fellow "Parry
Sounders" under his wing when they made their way to Sudbury
to work. Always the gentleman, he will truly be missed by many.

LOVENUIK.
Steve was born in Smoky Lake
in 1934, the
son of Anna and Nicholas
LOVENUIK. He grew up in
Coal Valley. Steve was respected as an owner of a successful
construction business in Edmonton. Over many years he was responsible
for the construction of several hundred buildings in the area.
Steve was forever working to help those he loved. Throughout
his life he was always aware of the needs of his growing family
and made everyone happy. He gave us a great sense of family that
we all possess now - that legacy lives on. He loved to see his
family gathered around the dining room table for a feast prepared
by Dorothy and to hold everyone captive until he recited his
Italian, or Polish, or Latin version of Grace. Like Louis Armstrong
sang, Steve lived in 'A Wonderful World'. We will miss him at
track meets, recitals, athletic races, golf games, ski hills,

M.D. Gail attended Middlebury College and received her M.B.A.
(Finance) degree from McGill University. She was born in Long
Island, New York and resided all of her married life in Canada,
the last thirty-six years on Heath Street West in Toronto. She
was generous with those who were in need wherever they might
be in the world and she dedicated her life to the care of her
family. As a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, she worked
quietly and diligently to help bring the churches in her community
closer together through events like the Good Friday Walk. As
her children grew up, Gail developed a passion for the investment
business and economics. She became a stockbroker, then a teacher
(Investing for Women; Branksome Hall) and later took up writing
for newspapers in Montreal and Toronto, latterly becoming a free-lance
reporter for the Report on Business in the Globe and Mail. She
was passionate about her garden, flowers and plants. She adored
her pets, cats in early years (Johnny and Fluffy) and Labrador
Retrievers in later years (Anna, Lucy and Holly). She loved walking
with her dogs, and spending parts of her summers on Lake Huron
(Grand Bend) and Lake Simcoe (Shanty Bay). She was delighted
by the Opera Atelier and attending the theatre. She cherished
entertaining family and getting together with old Friends. Gail
was uncomplaining and encouraging to those around her as she
faced a difficult and debilitating challenge over the last months.
A private service was held for the immediate family after her
death and a celebration of her life will take place in October
(details of the arrangements for this event will appear in these
columns in late September/ early October). In lieu of flowers,
donations in Gail's memory for the general maintenance of the
