In loving memory of our dear son and brother Christopher who
passed away December 26, 2005.
He is gone but not forgotten
And, as dawns another year
In our lonely hours of thinking
Thoughts of him are always near
Days of sadness will come o'er us
Many think the wound is healed
But they little know the sorrow
That lies in the heart concealed

In memory of Chris who passed away on December 26, 2005.
Another year has gone by,
The memories still the same.
It only takes a moment,
A moment to speak your name.
A moment to remember,
A moment to smile when we think of you,
A moment to listen while we talk,
A moment to see the difference you made in our lives,
A moment to play the music you liked,
A moment so special that will always remain several times a day.

joined his best friend and the love of his life, Anna Helena
(Girlie), who predeceased him. In addition to his wife, he was

and husband Derek, Jim and wife Arlene, David and wife Tomoko,
Rob, and Tim, his son Charles D.
ANDERSON and Pam of Brockville,
Ontario, and their children Elliott and wife Lanna, Kate and
husband Rob, Neil and John; and eleven great-grandchildren. Frank
was born in Ottawa January 5, 1912, the first child of John
ANDERSON
and Elizabeth
ELLIOT/ELLIOTT. In the midst of the depression he attended
Queens University (B.A. and
B. Com, '1934), where he captained
the track team and ran in the British Empire Games. On holiday
back in Ottawa he met and fell in love with Girlie
ROBERTSON.
They married as soon as studies and finances permitted, and formed
a true matrimonial partnership that lasted 68 years. In 1939
he joined the Canadian Army and during the war rose through the
ranks of the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps with assignments
of ever increasing importance. At war's end he was persuaded
to continue his military career with postings and further training
at the Staff College in Washington, D.C., and the University
of Toronto where he completed his Masters of Commerce before
returning to Army Headquarters in Ottawa. Ultimately he served
as the Director of Army Budget, and after the unification of
the Canadian Armed Forces as Deputy Comptroller General. He retired
from the Canadian Forces on a Friday, and commenced a second
career in the civil service of Canada the following Monday. On
reaching retirement age once more, he was persuaded to continue
on as Chairman of the Contracts Dispute Settlement Board of the
Department of Supply and Services on a part time basis, a position
that he held to age 70. He lived a full and honourable life.
He loved his family and his country, and taught those who knew
and loved him to do the same. A graveside celebration of life
and interment service will be held for both Frank and Girlie
ANDERSON on July 7, 2007, at 10: 30 A.M., at Pinecrest Cemetery,

STIMAC looked for good in everyone
By Daniela
SIMUNAC, Sun Media, Sun., October 21, 2007
"Trust me."
Those were the words often spoken by Ivan (Ivica)
STIMAC when
he gave family or Friends a little advice or before he got himself
into a little mischief.
They're the words by which those Friends and family will remember
the London man who valued trust and could be trusted to offer
others his guidance.
The 25-year-old was killed instantly October 9 after his pickup
truck hit a cement truck and burst into flames.
STIMAC was driving along Highway 4 in Lucan just before 11 a.m.
when his pickup crossed the centre line of the road and collided
head-on with the oncoming cement truck.
Neither vehicle seemed to brake, police said, noting no skidmarks
were left behind.
Police said they don't know what caused
STIMAC's truck to switch
lanes.
"It might be one of those things where we may never know what
was the reason," said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Christina
HUNTER.
And no one knows where
STIMAC was heading, said his cousin, Ivan
LULIC.
"It's horrible living and not knowing what happened," said
LULIC,
21, of Mississauga.
LULIC always looked forward to visiting his cousin in London.
Whether it was to celebrate a holiday or just chat over coffee,
"there was never a dull moment with Ivica," he said.
STIMAC was always looking for the good in everyone, always searching
for another trustworthy pal, his cousin said.
And LULIC trusted him with his secrets and could count on him
for advice.
"He was kind of like a bigger brother to me."
After working as a pharmaceutical technician and construction
worker in London,
STIMAC wanted to continue his education and
eventually become a paramedic.
That was just like
STIMAC -- always wanting to help others,
LULIC
said.
He is survived by his parents, Mile and Katica
STIMAC, sister
Tina PRGESA, brother-in-law Dragan
PRGESA and three nieces and
nephews.

John, New Brunswick. The family would also like to thank the
Waterloo Community Care Access Centre team, Doctor Bob
HUNTER, Kitchener
and the doctors of the Hamilton Juravinski Cancer Centre for
their caring and support of Barb through her long journey. Barb
was predeceased by her first husband, Bill
McLEOD, and her parents,
Luke and Hope
TINCKNELL, of Paris, Ontario. Barb was first and
foremost a proud and loving mother. She was also a wonderful,
caring and generous wife, sibling, friend, and teacher. She was
born in Paris, Ontario, where she spent the entirety of her childhood.
She was an energetic child, who succeeded both at academics and
athletics. She attended teacher's college at McMaster University
and later returned to Guelph University to complete a degree
in English and theatre arts. She taught at several elementary
schools, took a leave to dedicate herself to parenting, and then
returned to Queensmount Senior Public School in the late 1980s.
Barb established herself as a remarkable teacher who inspired
both her students and her colleagues. She taught English and
math and directed several musical productions, while acting as
a supportive mentor and friend to her fellow staff. In recent
years, Barb was an avid fan of her daughter's careers, both scholastic
and athletic. She adored her 'boys', Cody and Spooky, and the
new addition of Oakley. She was a knowledgeable and dedicated
sports fan. She travelled frequently with Jim, to Western and
Eastern Canada, Boston, and Sanibel Island, Florida. Barb loved
visiting with her granddaughter, Morgan, spending time at her
cabin, gardening, bird watching, renovating and decorating her
home, riding her bicycle, going to movies, and visiting her favourite
people. As her health declined over the past year, Barb inspired
us all with her ability to embrace every day of her life, and
to find joy and humour during the most difficult of times. She
fought an incredibly long and hard battle, but continued to focus
only on the needs and lives of others. Her life was miraculous
in many ways; she will be cherished forever by those who were
blessed to share her life. Interment will be at Memory Gardens
followed by a private service in celebration of her life. Donations

WEIR,
Doctor
Ormond
Allison (1920-2007)
With deep sadness we announce the passing of Doctor Ormond Allison
WEIR, who died peacefully July 22 at the Kamloops Hospice after
a long and valiant battle with cancer. He is dearly missed by
his beloved wife of 52 years, the writer Joan Sherman
WEIR, by
their four sons Ian (Jude), Paul (Sandra), Michael (Jacqueline)
and Richard (Coleen), and by grandchildren Christina, Rachelle,
Mitchell, Amy, Alexandra, Andrew, Jeannie, Taylor and Houston.
Born in Peterborough, Ontario on April 26, 1920, he was the son
of Marshall and Maggie
WEIR, and the youngest of six siblings.
He was predeceased by brothers Harley (Viola), Archie (Margaret)
and Clarence (Eunice,) and by sisters Jean
HUNTER
(Rolly) and
Margaret HAMLEY
(Harry.)
From 1941 to 1945, he served two tours
of duty in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a navigator on Pathfinder
Force of Bomber Command with 405 Canadian Squadron. After the
war he studied medicine at Queen's University, where he also
played varsity football and was captain of the basketball team.
Completing his MDCM in 1951, he subsequently trained in vascular
surgery at Duke University, and in 1958 became a Fellow of the
Royal
College of Surgeons. On May 14, 1955, he married Joan
SHERMAN,
daughter of Anglican Archbishop L. Ralph
SHERMAN and Carolyn
SHERMAN. In 1959 they moved to Kamloops. He served as Chief of
Surgery at Royal Inland Hospital and
as President of the Medical
Staff, as well as serving as a member of the Royal College of
Physicians and Surgeons Advisory Committee for British Columbia
and Alberta. A longstanding member of Saint Paul's Church, he was
a delegate to three General Synods of the Anglican Church of
Canada, as well as serving as a member of the National Executive
Council from 1975 to 1978. A man of deep faith, Orm found joy
in family, work and Friends. For many years he was an avid member
of the self-styled 'Italian Ski Team,' a group of weekend skiers
who were not particularly good, or even particularly Italian,
but who pursued the activity with great camaraderie and gusto.
Throughout his life he was driven by a deep sense of duty to
those in need and those less fortunate, arising in part from
his own experiences growing up during the Depression. He faced
his last battle with enormous dignity, grace and courage. He
was an inspiration to us as he lived, and also as he died. Thanks
to Greg Phillips and the staff at Kipp-Mallory Drugs, and to
the nurses at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. Funeral
service is 2 p.m. Saturday, July 28 at Saint Paul's Cathedral,
Kamloops. On-line condolences may be expressed at www.schoenings.com

HUTCHINSON/HUTCHISON,
William "
Bill"
Soldier, athlete, writer. Born August 11, 1930, in Toronto. Died
February 21, in Langley, British Columbia, after a series of
strokes, aged 76.
By Lyndon GROVE,
Page L8
At Central Collegiate Institute in Moose Jaw, he wore jeans with
"Jeanius" stencilled across the bottom. Later, he wore the dress
uniform of an officer in Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry,
and strode confidently into Toronto night clubs, regimental sword
swinging at his side.
Hutch - which is what almost everyone called him - had come to
Saskatchewan from Saint_John's College in Winnipeg. Bill's father
had died in Europe in the First World War and his chic mother,
Vera, had married big-hearted Art
BROADFOOT, a prosperous owner
of a Moose Jaw funeral home and ambulance service.
In high school, he was the BMOC (big man on campus) - coaching
football, playing basketball, writing Teen Scene for the Times-Herald,
and performing at school concerts.
Bill's goal was to be a college football coach, teaching history
on the side. Ultimately, he achieved both in a roundabout way:
He became a leader in British Columbia amateur football (he wore
a Canadian Football League Builder's ring), and he taught history
- military history - at the Canadian Land Force Command and Staff
College in Kingston.
His military career came as a surprise to his Friends and, possibly,
to him. At the University of British Columbia in the 1950s, he
studied physical education and history.
To finance his tuition, he enrolled in the Regular Officers Training
Plan. Then, after he completed his courses (including a catch-up
in square dancing) he found the army was his true vocation. He
went on to serve as platoon, company and battalion commander,
with tours of duty across Canada, in Germany, at the Pentagon,
and in Cyprus, where he commanded the Canadian contingent for
the United Nations.
Bill also worked on state visits and military tattoos. He also
found time for rugby as a player, referee and administrator.
His companion through most of this was Kay
HUNTER, a spunky,
athletic Doris Day look-alike he married in Moose Jaw. They had
three children: Susan (an Anglican priest); Bill Jr. (an investment
consultant), and Barbara Allyn (a children's songwriter).
Every marriage has peaks and valleys, and the Hutchinsons' was
no exception. After some years apart, they reunited on the West
Coast. Bill Jr. delighted in telling people, with feigned shock,
"My mother and father are living together!" (Kay died of leukemia
in 1986, a week after her 53rd birthday.)
Late in 2006, Bill suffered a stroke. And then another. And another.
He gave away most of his 4,000 books and moved to a medium-care
centre.
In praise of rugby, he wrote that it is "a game that teaches
the values of dedication, perseverance, teamwork, initiative
and respect for rules." So did he.
Lyndon GROVE is Bill's friend. He wrote this with help from the
Rev. Susan

HUNTER,
Lorna▼
Alleyne▼
Peacefully on September 5, 2007 at Kensington Gardens, Toronto.
Daughter of the late Joseph and Annie
(HART.)
Sister of Harry
and Evelyn (deceased) fondly remembered by many cousins and Friends.
Lorna had many passions but they all came second to what she
loved best, people. No matter whom Lorna met or dealt with once
she had, 'checked you out' and decided you were okay you were
rarely allowed to escape her gracious and generous Friendship.
Thanks to the staff of 4 West at Kensington Gardens for their
compassionate care, especially Doctor
SHROTT and Jessy John. Cremation
has taken place and a celebration of Lorna's life will be held
sometime in the future. Please refer to the web site of Humber
Valley United Church in Toronto for information. www.hvuc.ca
In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice.

HUNTER,
Lorna▲
Alleyn▲
Traveller, art-lover, friend. Born January 30, 1925, in Toronto.
Died September 5 in Toronto following an aneurysm, aged 82.
By Shelagh

Lorna HUNTER was the third child of Annie
HART and Joseph
HUNTER,
Ontario, a barber. Lorna had two older siblings, Harry and Evelyn.
The HUNTERs moved into the Toronto neighbourhood of High Park
when Lorna was 3.
Lorna attended Runnymede Public School and Humberside Collegiate.
Soon after graduation, she began her career at Confederation
Life Insurance Company, where she worked until her retirement
in 1989. Lorna thoroughly enjoyed her contacts on Bay Street,
where she was respected for her common sense approach to business.
What endeared Lorna to many of us was the passion she brought
to her many interests. We would hear about the vexing complications
involved with renovating her historic home (where she lived throughout
her life and where she had lovingly cared for her parents). She
continually upgraded the property but Lorna did not rush: she
did the research, accumulated the cash and then bought the best.
As a young single woman, Lorna travelled to many exotic locales.
She dutifully sent cards regaling family and Friends with her
adventures in historic Europe or the Far East (where, as a young
person, she took responsibility for two foster children). But
it was the West Coast that monopolized her later travel, particularly
Seattle and her sister's place in Pender Harbour in B.C.
Lorna's cats were her companions. If she had two (and she often
did) they became her upstairs and her downstairs cats and were
spoiled.
Lorna loved art and her home was a mini gallery displaying a
wide variety of styles and artists. Her passion for flowers was
satisfied not just around her own beautifully landscaped home
but extended to the Humber Valley United Church where she was
a member.
Lorna was a stylish lady and prided herself in staying current
and elegant in the fashion world.
Yet, all these interests were second to what she loved best:
people. Once Lorna had checked you out and decided you were okay
you just became a friend.
There is no better testament to her Friendship than Lorna having
a friend from grade school step up to take responsibility for
Lorna's life after her incapacitating aneurysm. Friends, family
and a favourite godchild continued to visit and assist with her
care. Lorna greeted her visitors with a smile and they continued
to make her part of their lives, just as she would have if their
roles had been reversed.
Lorna's Friends love her because she always welcomed us and treated
us as she asked to be treated - with kindness and respect.
Shelagh BARRINGTON is Lorna's friend.

Robert "
Bob"
George▲
Born on August 25, 1927, Bob passed peacefully from this world
on September 27, 2007. He is survived by his wife of 57 years,
Shirley, his children Richard, Robert, Nancy (Gordon), Scott
(Atsuko), Julie (Bill), David (Tamara), and Andrew (Sheila) and
13 grandchildren, Maria, Sean, Matthew, Raelle, Justin, Paige,
Alanna, Taira, Cassidy, Katie, Wyatt, Callum and William. Bob
was born and raised in the New Westminster - Burnaby area. His
early years centred around sporting activities. He had a love
of rugby and played for both Burnaby South High School and in
the Burnaby leagues following his graduation. Bob started his
professional life in the accounting field as a Chartered Accountancy
student articling with the firm of Rickard Crawford and Co. He
moved on to become a salesman for Occidental, and then Transamerica
Life beginning in the early 1960s. In the late 1970s, Bob transitioned
into the mining business becoming involved on a full-time basis
by 1980. Over the next 25 years he became a prominent figure
in the mining development community. He was co-founder of Hunter
Dickinson Inc., a company that continues to bear his name. Bob
always strived to achieve success in his endeavours and to contribute
to the success of others. He was a Leading Agent and member of
the 'Top Club' for many years while in the insurance business
and was often recognized by his peers in the mining industry.
He received the Developers Award by the Prospectors and Developers
Association of Canada in 1990 and the Murray Pezim Award for
Mineral Financier of the Year by the British Columbia-Yukon Chamber
of Mines in 2001. Bob was generous with both his time and money
in the community. His many causes included the Burnaby Host Lions
Club where he was honoured with a Lifetime membership for his
many years of service. He was a member of the Tuscan Lodge No. 138 and
also served as a director of the New Vista Society. Bob was known
for his loyalty and utmost integrity. He was a good friend to
many, always ready with a smile and handshake. He maintained
his sense of humour and quick wit through to the end and, to
us, will always be 'better than average'. Our many thanks to
the staff at Delta View Habilitation Centre for their compassionate
care and support during the final weeks of his life. In lieu
of flowers, donations in Bob's memory will be gladly accepted
by the New Vista Foundation www.newvista.bc.ca/. A celebration

BROWN,
Hunter
It is with deepest sorrow and grief that we announce Hunter's
passing, on Saturday, December 15, 2007 at Kitchener, at the
age of 74. Beloved husband and best friend of Bev (née
SPARLING)
BROWN for 49 years. Proud and loving father of Sandra
BROWN of
Mississauga and Michael
BROWN and his wife
Beth of Waterloo.
Dear Grampa to Lauren and Andrew and Ian. Predeceased by his
parents Hugh and Sadie (née
HUNTER)
BROWN.
Hunter will also be
sadly missed by his beloved and faithful granddog Patches, and
grandcat Max. Hugh Hunter
BROWN was born in Toronto in 1933,
the son of Hugh and Sadie
BROWN. He attended and graduated from
Leaside High School, and then went on to attend Victoria College
of the University of Toronto for Commerce and Finance. He met
his wife Beverley, at Leaside United Church, playing badminton.
After graduating University, he started what would be a lifelong
career with the Bell Telephone Company of Canada. He married
Beverley in 1958, and had two children, Michael and Sandra. The
family lived in Toronto until 1973, when Hunter was transferred
to Kitchener to fill a District Manager's position for Bell Canada.
Hunter always strived to make his contributions to the communities
he lived in. Over the years, he took leadership roles in the
executive of the Rotary Club, the KWHSR, Bell Pioneers, and
his churches. He always wanted to help out, whether it be canvassing
for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, shoveling snow for an elderly
neighbour, or helping someone in need as he always put others'
needs ahead of his own. In their retirement, Hunter and Bev loved
to travel to Barbados and Europe and spend their summers at the
cottage, which was the centre of activity and such good times
for family and Friends. Hunter loved being with his grandchildren
he was involved with, and supported them in everything they did.
Hunter was a dedicated and devoted family man. We loved him so
very much and were so proud of him. We will dearly miss him.

Full life's worth of big-hearted giving
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary writer, Page R2
People usually have only nice things to say about the departed
some of which might even be true -- but with Kelly
SILVERSTEIN
people always had only nice things to say about him.
He really was just the greatest guy. Always there for kids --
any kid, not simply his own two boys. He was the fundraiser you
could count on. And a coach for eight teams spread through four
different sports.
He was the brother who rescued his fraternity when it teetered
on bankruptcy. The volunteer who always raised the most money
every year at Big Brothers and Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake.
The parent who donated the Raptors tickets that pushed the bidding
over the top at the school auction. The Dad who slipped the school
principal a cheque for sports camp for an underprivileged student
he thought particularly talented.
So when SILVERSTEIN died November 20 at age 42 just four days
after he was diagnosed with leukemia, there was a shocked silence
throughout his Hillcrest community.
And people wept when they heard.
There was standing room only at Holy Blossom Temple -- more than
1,200 people attended. The line snaked around the corner, and
the service was 25 minutes late starting.
"You could feel it," said Rabbi John
MOSCOWITZ. "
There was a
sense the very best one of us had just died."
SILVERSTEIN's
Friends and family -- wife
Jill, sons Oliver and
Jonah -- were there, as were his fraternity brothers, his work
colleagues, the teachers from the schools where he coached, kids
from the teams he coached, but also the guy who worked in the
underground parking lot in the building that housed his office.
He was that kind of guy.
"He was a stand-up kind of guy," said Terry
KARIS, his barber
at the Forest Hill Barber Shop. The two talked about more than
the weather when
SILVERSTEIN came in for his camouflage cut --
short on sides, long on top -- to hide the hair thinning on top.
In the fall of 2005,
SILVERSTEIN invited
KARIS to a hockey old-timers
function.
"My son Adam was on the ice with Guy Lafleur. How good is that?"
said KARIS.
It got better, though.
KARIS had forgotten his camera and just
as he and his son were about to leave,
SILVERSTEIN hauled them
over to Lafleur and took their picture together.
"He found a camera somewhere, somehow, because he knew I was
a Montreal fan. And he wasn't even one. He put it in a frame
and gave it to me. I treasure that picture," said
KARIS.
"He was goodness personified," said Michael
KALLES, a fraternity
brother. "He gave his all to everything. He wasn't a guy who
asked you to lift a heavy piano and he carried the piano bench.
He'd be carrying 15 pianos." When they were students at the University
of Western Ontario together, it was
SILVERSTEIN who started Pi
Lambda Phi fraternity.
First they met in a bedroom, then
SILVERSTEIN got the idea they
should rent a house; then he decided they should buy one -- which
they did, choice real estate at the corner of Cheapside and Richmond
Sts. -- because he raised a ton of money.
He started a chapter at the University of Windsor as well.
"Kelly did all the heavy lifting,"
KALLES said. He mobilized
them to raise the $10,000 they needed to retain their charter
when their chapter got in financial trouble. "He would say that
we have to ensure that the frat would be around when our kids
wanted to join."
He was always doing it for kids.
"He really was as fine a person as you would ever meet," said
John HUNTER, principal of Hillcrest public school, where the
SILVERSTEIN sons had attended and their father coached.
He started the basketball team there -- for five years he called
practices for 7: 30 a.m. before he went to work. There was an
offer on the table for him to come back and coach again this
winter.
"He was so kind to the kids. He had a lot of trouble cutting
them (from the team)," Hunter said.
For four years he coached two hockey teams in the North Toronto
house league. For even longer he also coached two soccer teams,
as well as baseball and basketball teams. Basketball was his
favourite sport, possibly because he was six-foot-four.
He'd take his teams out for chicken wings; he'd sweep his sons'
Friends up along on their family outings.
"Lunch became dinner and then supper. It was always one more
invitation. That was the way it was with the whole family. They
were a team," said Elaine
LESNIAK, a single mom whose son, Ari,
14, had been Oliver's best friend until they went to different
schools.
That never stopped
SILVERSTEIN. "At the bus when the kids were
going off to camp, Kelly always made sure to give Ari a big hug,"
she said.
"Every time you are with him, you want to be with him more. You
are just drawn to him," said Ari.
Maybe he was just a big kid in some ways. He'd take the family
and their Friends to a Baskin-Robbins ice cream place, seat them
at the window and pay the kids $1 for every person they could
get to wave to them. "It was our job to get people to wave, in
a freezing cold night," Jill recalled.
SILVERSTEIN attacked life, reading three newspapers daily, tearing
out articles to send off to Friends. "We all got them with the
note: FYI, K.S.," said Bonnie
BLONDER,
Jill's best friend
since childhood.
As he was often first in the office of Davis + Henderson cheque
makers, he'd put on the coffee.
"Kelly just wanted to make sure everyone was happy," said Jill
with a smile.
He was the youngest of five children of Sonny and Marlene
SILVERSTEIN,
of Silverstein's Bakery. "He was always being picked up and cuddled,"
said his only sister Robin
SILVERSTEIN-
EISEN.
The family lived in a cul-de-sac near Lawrence and Marlee in
a house with a basketball hoop out front that was the centre
of activity for all the neighbourhood kids.
SILVERSTEIN often
took his own family back there.
"He called it our 'drive-bys,'" said Jill. "He'd always tell
the kids who lived in the houses. He wanted us to know about
the good things."
In 1998, SILVERSTEIN had returned to Toronto after working in
Atlanta when his mother was diagnosed with cancer. He postponed
finding work to be with her. It was as if he pushed himself to
get in a full life's worth of giving.
"This was just his thing -- to do for others," said family friend
Barbara SILVERSTEIN (no relation.)
"He was so decent. I have never met anyone like him."
"I can't tell you how many people phoned us to volunteer because
they heard about us from Kelly," said Heather
SPROULE, executive
director of Big Brothers and Sisters.
The day after
SILVERSTEIN died, her office received a donation
from him via the United Way. "I had no idea that beyond all that
he was doing for us, that in his usual quiet fashion he made
an annual donation through the United Way."
Next month there will be an award in
SILVERSTEIN's name at the
2007 Bowl for Kids Sake.
"We thought about it for less than a second,"
SPROULE said. "It
will be a fundraising award, which at the least is very fitting."
