Wife killed, spouse critical after fire
By Daniela
SIMUNAC and Kathy
RUMLESKI, Sun Media, Mon., December 3,
One woman died and her husband was critically burned in a weekend
fire that consumed a one-storey house in Alvinston.
Brenda GREENWOOD was identified as the person deceased and her
husband Jim is in a London hospital with critical burns.
The cause of death has not been determined.
The Ontario Fire Marshal's Office was called to investigate the
Saturday night blaze at 8066 Wallace St. in the Lambton County
community.
A neighbour found an injured Jim
GREENWOOD outside a west side
door, the Ontario Provincial Police said.
His wife was found by firefighters, lying inside the house by
the same door.
"The scene is still being treated as a crime scene, as investigations
are ongoing," said Lambton Ontario Provincial Police Const. John
Reurink.
A neighbour called 911 about 8 p.m. after seeing the house engulfed
in flames.
Alvinston and Watford firefighters battled the blaze and tended
to the injured man.
Alvinston fire Chief Ron
HILLS said firefighters were on the
scene again yesterday morning. "We didn't want to pull the ceiling
down (Saturday) night. There was a concern of smoke."
HILL said the fire marshal's investigator arrived on site yesterday
afternoon.

Burn victim dies days after his wife
By Sun Media, Tues., December 11, 2007
A man whose wife died in a house fire in Alvinston has also died
of his injuries.
James GREENWOOD, 60, injured in the December 1 fire, died at
London Health Sciences Centre's burn unit, police said yesterday.
His wife, Brenda, 62, died in the fire that engulfed the one-storey
home on Wallace Street.
Investigators say careless smoking was the cause of the blaze.
Neighbours in the Lambton County community spotted the fire around
8 p.m. and found
GREENWOOD just outside a doorway.
His wife was later found by firefighters just inside the same
doorway.
Investigators say there were two smoke detectors in the home
but damage to the building made it impossible to determine if
they were working at the time.

Born in Finland
and raised in Montreal, John developed a love for the Laurentians
and the ski crowd that taught him early on how to 'let 'em run'

Bell Canada forging a successful career that began on Baffin

before retiring to Ottawa. He was one of those fortunate few
who loved every minute of his working life and considered it
enriched by the experiences and colleagues who coloured his journey.
John was a man who read widely, entertained graciously and was
humbly grateful for the gifts of Friendship and family that meant
so much to him. In lieu of flowers, his family asks that you

SAGMAN,
Sadok
(Febrary 2, 1927-January 7, 2007)
Passed away peacefully in his 80th year, at the Jewish General
Hospital in Montreal. Devoted husband of Carmina Araujo
SAGMAN.
Beloved father of Sara and Ruth, Uri (Sandra), Doron (Yolanda),
and Shaul. Grandfather of Gabriel, Reuben and Nathaniel; Aaron,
Joel and Evan; Irene and Christine, Daniel and Stephanie. Survived
by his brother Ezra. Predeceased by his parents, Flora and David
SAGMAN, his brothers Eliyahu and Chaim, and by his first wife,
Arlette Politi
SAGMAN.
Reflecting his Biblical name, meaning
"the righteous," Sadok believed in justice and dedicated himself
to the values important to him: family and education. The second
of four brothers, he was born and raised in Baghdad. In the 1940s,
after his family was forced to flee Iraq, he fought for the new
State of Israel. In Israel, Sadok married Arlette
POLITI, studied
economics at the University of Tel Aviv, and became a banker.
In 1966, seeking greater opportunities, he emigrated with his
young family to Canada, where he worked as an economist for the
Federal Government in Ottawa and established himself as a chartered
accountant and subsequently as a real estate entrepreneur in
Montreal. After the sudden death of his first wife in 1969, he
raised three sons alone and later also cared for his aging parents,
who joined the household. In 1979 Sadok married Carmina
ARAUJO,
whom he cherished, and enjoyed a new round of fatherhood with
his adored daughters Sara and Ruth. With these blessings came
renewed energy and purpose. Throughout his life he remained disciplined,
active and optimistic, a fighter to the end. He was truly a self-made
man, whose remarkable focus and determination will continue to
inspire. The family is grateful to the caring staff of the Jewish
General Hospital in Montreal, with particular thanks to Doctor Harvey
Chang of the Palliative Care Unit, and also to Doctor Paul
GREIG
and Doctor Eric
CHEN of the University Health Network in Toronto.
A memorial service was held on January 7 in Montreal. If desired,
memorial donations may be made to the Jewish General Hospital

GRENON,
J.
Émile
By Aline GRENON,
Page
A14
Father, cribbage player. Born June 17, 1909, in Casselman, Ontario
Died August 22 in Montreal, probably of heart failure, aged 97.
The son of an enterprising farmer turned carpenter, Émile was
born the second of seven children. Graduating with a commerce
degree from Bourget College, in Rigaud, Qué., in 1933, at the
height of the Depression, most of Émile's first year out of school
was spent looking for work. It was not until he heard of a Sudbury
merchant in need of a bookkeeper that things began to look up.
Telephoning from the Casselman general store, he was asked "How
soon can you get here?" He responded "Within 24 hours."
After a year bunking out in the back-room of the place where
he worked, Émile acquired a surrogate family when he moved into
the boarding house operated by Mme. Clémentine
LEFEBVRE-
PAQUETTE,
a remarkable woman for whom Émile developed a high regard. However,
it was her entrepreneurial son Roméo who would change Émile's
life. The two struck up a Friendship and one day, Roméo let drop
that a well run grocery business in the then-booming mining town
of Larder Lake stood a good chance of success. Émile agreed that
it probably would and promptly forgot about it until Roméo informed
him that he had purchased the lot that would hold their store.
Although taken aback, Émile felt obliged to honour his unintentional
promise and, with a small sum of borrowed money, he left Sudbury
to join Roméo in business. Thus was born Paquette and Grenon
(or P and G as it soon became known): the result of one man's vision
and another's commitment to Friendship.
The initial years were difficult. To make ends meet, the partners
delivered firewood house-to-house with a horse and wagon. At
the best of times, the future appeared uncertain, and at the
worse it was downright bleak, particularly when a bank manager,
convinced that French-Canadians lacked business acumen, cut off
their line of credit without warning. Luckily, a local bootlegger
named "Black Nellie" lent them sufficient money to permit the
business to survive and thrive. P and G eventually grew to eight
stores.
With the advent of the Second World War, Émile enlisted in the
Canadian army. Although he had no medical training, he was posted
to the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps. He often joked that
this was because his brother was a doctor and one of his sisters
a nurse! His was, in the parlance of the times, a "good" war.
Stationed mainly at Camp Borden, Émile continued to look after
P and G's accounting needs. On three occasions, he received orders
to ship out to Europe, only to have them rescinded. It was during
one such occasion, while awaiting transportation in Québec City
that he met the charming and attractive Berthe
SAMPSON/SAMSON, who was
working in a munitions factory. They wed in 1946. That she married
him in spite of a mix-up as to his background (the result of
a letter from a confused Casselman priest who mistook him for
an unsavoury cousin with a similar name) proves the extent of
her faith in him. Together they would have three children. Sadly,
Berthe died in early 1967, after a struggle with breast cancer.
Émile's loneliness over the next 20 years was mitigated somewhat
by frequent travel, his love of golf, curling and cards, a close
circle of Friends and the presence of his children. However,
the next milestone in his life occurred when he met the remarkable
Phyllis FRISBY, whom he married in 1986. Fun-loving and strong-willed,
she reintroduced a degree of warmth and bustle into his life.
He found it difficult to recover from Phil's death in 2002.
Émile's last years were spent in Montréal. Possibly his greatest
joy during this period came from the countless games of cribbage
he played with his children and his grand_son, Daniel.
Aline is Émile's daughter.

Man dies during late-night swim
Group jumps fence at motel
By Scott DUNN,
Wednesday,
August 08, 2007
A 24-year-old Hamilton man died in a closed swimming pool early
Saturday morning after jumping a fence, police confirmed Tuesday.
Bruce
Peninsula
Ontario Provincial Police said Bruno
LARANJEIRO
died after getting into trouble in the pool at the Sauble Lodge
Motel on Second Avenue North in Sauble Beach. Police were called
at 2 a.m. to investigate a report that someone may have drowned.
"Several persons jumped the fence, locked fence, and were in
the pool," Const. Dave
MEYER said in an interview Tuesday. "The
victim doesn't know how to swim apparently, according to the
girlfriend, and she was screaming for help."
People came to his aid and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation
but LARANJEIRO died,
MEYER said.
A post-mortem exam was done in Owen Sound Sunday.
Police don't suspect foul play.
Asked how
LARANGEIRO ended up in the pool,
MEYER said "He went
swimming… it was a situation he didn't know how to swim. Alcohol
was involved."
LARANJEIRO had been drinking at the motel's nightclub,
MEYER
said.
MEYER referred questions about the cause of death to the coroner's
office. Doctor Jack
STANBOROUGH said Tuesday it will take more time
before a death by drowning can be confirmed because it is arrived
at through a process of eliminating other possible causes.
He called it an "apparent drowning."
Jaswinder GREWAL owns the Sauble Lodge Motel. She said in an
interview Tuesday she closed the bar at 12: 45 a.m. Saturday and
started cleaning for about 20 minutes. She went upstairs to bed
and heard someone screaming about 25 minutes later.
She looked out the window and saw six or seven people in the
pool.
Initially she was angry that people had jumped the fence to swim
and she came down and told them to leave.
Then she grew nervous when she saw three or four people trying
to pull the naked victim out of the pool.
Next she phoned 911 but was told an ambulance was already on
the way. She returned to the victim and resuscitation efforts
were underway. She picked up the man's cold hand.
"I couldn't sleep whole night,"
GREWAL said.
A pair of underwear was found in the pool later.
Jose MARTINS said in an interview
LARANJEIRO and his girlfriend
stayed with him and four others in Room 48.
MARTINS was Friends
with LARANJEIRO and occasionally they attended the same parties.
MARTINS said his friend had been drinking that night but he didn't
see him enter the pool because he stayed in the bar. He said
his friend was a happy, sociable man. He worked in construction,
with asphalt and cement.
He understands after
LARANJEIRO's funeral Thursday he will be
taken to Portugal for burial.
