ACHESON,
Lorne▲▼
Victor
On August 1, 2007, a funeral service was held to celebrate the
86 year life of Lorne Victor Acheson who passed away suddenly
on July 28, 2007.
Lorne was born and raised on a farm in Proton Township and as
a boy, he attended S.S.#2 School sometimes known as the "Acheson
School" until old enough to work on the farm. In 1942, he, along
with his father, Stanley
ACHESON, took over a live-stock trucking
business that Lorne would continue to operate for 54 years.
On July 7, 1951, Lorne married Roma
CHANDLER who had moved to
the area as a high school mathematics teacher. Having been raised
in the rather nomadic home of a United Church minister, Roma
often commented that she never really had a permanent home until
she met and married Lorne and adopted Dundalk as her home. Lorne
and Roma raised a family of four children: Edward (Ted), Kenneth,
Elizabeth (Beth), and Joyce. Roma passed away on November 24,
1979 after a lengthy battle with cancer and Lorne was to continue
his life's journey on his own.
He continued on his own but definitely not alone While he kept
busy at his trucking business, he also volunteered for years
with the Dundalk Agricultural Society, as well as maintaining
his involvement with the Dundalk Lions Club up until the time
of his death. In his later years, he became a' "special friend"
with Doris
LANGDON and together they enjoyed two sets of in-laws,
cousins and grandchildren. "Aunt" Doris was certainly the tonic
that added years to his life.
Reverend Janet
ERIKSEN officiated a service that was held in
a packed church on a beautiful late summer day. Reverend Janet
delivered the eulogy. Gospel readings were done by Lorne's granddaughters
Olivia and Holly
ACHESON.
Olivia remembered a story of Grandpa,
when learning that Olivia was going to England to study Archeology,
telling her that there were lots of potatoes in Badjeros that
needed digging. Jim
DOLMER shared memories of "Uncle Lorne" when
Jim was growing up and Janine
GOSTICK shared her memories of
"Grandpa." Ian
LEITH played a lovely rendition of "Whispering
Hope", Lorne's favourite gospel tune. Pallbearers were grand_sons
Ted CLARKE, Allan
CLARKE, Robert
CLARKE, Jesse
ACHESON, Steven
GOSTICK,
Kevin
ACHESON, and Ryan
ALDCORN. Flowerbearers were
granddaughters Olivia
ACHESON,
Holly
ACHESON, Melissa
ACHESON,
Heather ACHESON, Janine
GOSTICK, Jackie
CLARKE, Carlene
ALDCORN,
Randi ALDCORN, and Emily
PHILLIPS.
Special music was provided
by Mary NICHOLLS, Dundalk United Church Choir, and Ian
LEITH.
It is very hard to capsulize 86 years in a few paragraphs. A brief
summary was included in the funeral service bulletin, simply
titled:
Our Dad
A simple man in the best sense of the description. A humble man.
A kind, loving and caring husband and father. A man who wanted
only what he needed and needed little. Born and raised on a farm
during the Depression, he was blessed with an inherent humility
that, over his lifetime, became a more rare trait in people.
Obviously we have no recollection of him as a youngster, only
stories heard.
He loved the farm life. As hard-scrabble a life as it seems to
us, he took pride (the little he had) in a job well done. He
loved a new-born calf, a fat steer, a "hot" market, a fast trotter,
and the smell of alfalfa curing in the windrow.
He loved his community and never yearned to move on to better
opportunities elsewhere but rather to help improve the community
he was in. As somewhat of a creature of habit, he loved his special
places and routines. Anyone who knew him always knew where he
could be found. Early mornings in his later years would find
him at the Highway 10 Breakfast Club. On Sunday morning, he could
be found in the same pew down to the left of the minister. On
Tuesday morning he could be found at the Keady Auction Market
in the same seat down to the left of the auctioneer. Just as
he had been during his fifty-four year career as a live stock
trucker, he continued to be a "morning person" in his retirement.
He loved his church as any devout Christian would. Most of all,
he loved his family. He loved family gatherings with a Sunday
afternoon picnic on the front lawn. He loved his parents, his
siblings, his wife, his special friend and her extended family
and he loved us. He loved his many Friends that he met along
the way. If you are reading this, should know that you were one
of them.

In loving memory of a very dear husband and father who suddenly
passed away December 8, 1986.
There will always be a heartache
And often a silent tear.
But always precious memories
Of the days when you were here.
You never failed to have a smile
Your heart was true and tender.
You lived your life for those you loved
And those you loved remember.
- Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by Doris and Donalou.

LANGDON o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2007-01-08 published
LANGDON,
Gerald
By Ted LANGDON and Lynda
LANGDON,
Page
A16
Author, polio survivor, entrepreneur, volunteer.
Born April 5, 1909, in Brighton, Ontario. Died August 2, 2006,
of old age, aged 97.
At the age of 96, Gerald published his first book. Titled As
I Recall, the book is a collection of Gerald's memories of growing
up and living in the small eastern Ontario town of Brighton.
Born the sixth child in a family of nine, Gerald was given daily
chores, ranging from gardening to tending the animals to churning
butter and cranking the washer to tapping the trees for maple
syrup. He became an expert on apples through growing and picking
them; in his book, he lists 21 varieties that grew on the family
orchards. Gerald loved to tell the story of all nine children
having their tonsils and adenoids out on the kitchen table, noting
that it took a full day for a specialist from Toronto as well
as the local doctor and nurse to do the job.
By age 12, Gerald was known throughout the town as a visitor.
He regularly visited family and Friends, and would stop anyone
anywhere for a conversation. This became a lifelong trait. We
can still picture him at the Crystal Garden in Victoria, British
Columbia, aged 70, proudly turning to anyone within earshot and
announcing, "I'm Gerald Langdon, from Brighton, Ontario, Canada!"
Although polio at the age of 2 permanently affected the mobility
of his right arm, Gerald, who was turned down for the war because
of this disability, laboured at various jobs in the Brighton/Trenton
area: farming, picking and canning tomatoes, the Canadian National
railway and in a manufacturing plant.
In 1945, he married Marjorie
STILES of Toronto and, tired of
working for other people "for peanuts," Gerald bought a local
general store and gas bar on Hwy. 2, which he proudly and promptly
named "Langdon's." He ran the store until his retirement in 1973,
living in the attached house with Marge and their three children.
In later years, Gerald had difficulty with the notion of dropping
a loonie into a machine to buy a pop, recalling that he used
to sell pop for 5 cents a bottle. He often reminisced about the
night in the 1940s when the circus stopped at the store: He and
Marge woke up the children to help feed the elephants, quickly
converting a large washtub into a watering dish.
As a retiree, Gerald could not sit still. He worked part-time
at a car dealership, helped run the bridge club at the drop-in
centre, was head greenskeeper for the lawn bowling club, and
assisted with the restoration of the historic Proctor House Museum.
He is famous locally for his appearance in the annual Applefest
parades, dressed as John A. McDonald, Prince Charles and Pierre
Trudeau. A lifelong Liberal, Gerald enjoyed political debate
and was up-to-date on the political scene right until his death.
For the last seven years, Gerald lived at the Warkworth Community
Nursing Home. He routinely played bridge and acted as an advocate
for patients who could not speak up for themselves. He developed
close relationships with several staff members and will be greatly
missed by them.
Gerald would have been delighted with the turnout at his funeral
on August 8, 2006, and the kind words of so many Friends, relatives
and neighbours. The longevity gene seems to run in the family:
his 98- and 90-year-old brothers, and 95-year-old sister sat
in the front row of the Trinity St. Andrews church in Brighton.
The highest tribute came from a friend who wrote: "Gerald was
an inspiration, a triumph of spirit over circumstances. We all
were the better for having known him. May we all develop the
strength of character to rise above life's challenges as he did."
Ted is Gerald's oldest son; Lynda
LANGDON, his daughter-in-law.

OLMSTED,
Marjorie
Kingsland (née
SALTER)
(February 25, 1917-June 23, 2007)
Marjorie OLMSTED lived 90 years of what she would have termed
an 'ordinary life', but to those of us who knew and loved her,
she was extraordinary. She brought joy to others in the simplest
way possible - yet few achieve it - she made us laugh. Constantly!
Her keen eye combined with quick wit left any situation open
to her humorous quips. Marj will always be remembered as kind,
gentle, artistic and creative, and most of all, funny. She loved
the sound of laughter and even as Alzheimers slowly diminished
her memory in later years, with a twinkle in her eye she managed
to bring delight to others daily. This beautiful Scottish/Irish
lassie with the gorgeous auburn hair and freckles was born in
Quebec City on February 25th, 1917 to parents Lillian and Norman
SALTER who later moved to Ottawa. At 14, Marj met her childhood
sweetheart, Earl
OLMSTED, whom she married at 23 and they remained
together for 76 years. Not an easy feat when you consider they
endured the 2nd World War being apart. (Lt. Col.
OLMSTED [Ret.]
was overseas for 5 years and is one of the few living survivors
of the Normandy Beach landing.) For 2 of the war years Marj attended
Kemptville Agricultural College, one of the highlights of her
life. This was followed by a life being an 'army wife' with moves
from Ottawa to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Fort Churchill, Manitoba,
and Madison, Wisconsin accompanied by their four children - Eric,
Valerie, Eleanor, and Bruce. She was able to put her home economic
studies to good use in her chosen career as a devoted and outstanding
Mom. Marjorie lived for many years on Broadview Avenue, Ottawa
and in Amberwood Village, Stittsville surrounded by wonderful
neighbors. On one of their postings 45 years ago, Marjorie discovered
she had breast cancer. Her humour helped her through those dark
times and upon waking from major surgery asked her doctor 'Does
this mean I can no longer wear double breasted suits?' He encouraged
her to find a new hobby so she signed up for art lessons as a
form of therapy and found a hidden artistic gift that blossomed
into years of painting (often with her beloved dog Lara at her
feet). Using mixed media, she would amaze relatives and Friends
with her original artwork and poems to suit special occasions.
Always a journalist and poet, at the age of 80 Marj wrote an
article entitled 'Diary of Breast Cancer.' Not only was it published
in the Ottawa Citizen, but it has been widely distributed to
thousands of women across Canada to offer them hope and inspiration.
Her illness never returned and she lived cancer-free 45 more
years! Marjorie's #1 passion was her family and grandchildren
- Jana and Pat
CLENDON of Calgary, Lani EL-
GUEBALY of Vancouver,
and Tally, Lindsay, and Geoffrey
OSBORNE of Toronto - and many
happy reunions took place at Marj and Earl's beloved Red Pine
Camp on Golden Lake, Ontario where lifelong Friendships were
formed and strengthened each summer for over 65 years. Beauty
was an ongoing theme in her poems; Sugarbush Pointe and Red Pine
Camp captured for Marjorie the best that camaraderie and nature
had to offer. Perfect and personal pieces of Canada. Already
sadly missed by her husband, children, and grandchildren, some
very special people who will mourn her loss are relatives Noreen
LANGDON,
Rita
SALTER, Ted and Muriel
LANGDON, Alan and Waveney
SALTER, Doctor Nady EL-
GUEBALY, Doctor Ray
OSBORNE, Judy
KETCHESON,
Marilyn EL-
GUEBALY, Bill
SALTER Jr., Mary and King
CHAPMAN, Andrea
and Albert
PETERS,
Doug and Jean
SALTER, Red
Piners and lifelong
Friends in the Ottawa Valley. She was recently predeceased in
August 2006 by her first-born son Eric, also by her parents,
her brothers Bill and Jack, her niece's son Scotty, many aunts
and uncles, fellow grandparents Ahmed and Andree EL-
GUEBALY,
and nephew Geoffrey
LANGDON. In the summer of 2002 Marjorie said,
'soon I will be flying with wings.' We are forever grateful that
we had a few more years to enjoy her company before she flew
away. Marjorie loved words and here are a few of her own which
foreshadowed this occasion.
End of Summer
Touch the rustic railings one more time And gaze at the quiet
lake. The leaves are brittle now And rattle in the breeze. Feel
the sun, half warm, half chill, And say goodbye to summer. A quiver
is in the poplars; A shiver is in the pines, On the lake the
waves wear A lacey fringe of winter white And one bird flies
Into a fading sky.
Special thanks to Evelyn
ALBAN, who is like a member of the family,
and to the loving staff at the Claremont Retirement Residence
in Toronto, especially Barbara. You are truly an amazingly loyal
and caring group of people. A Graveside Internment Service will
be held at Capital Memorial Gardens Cemetery, 3700 Price of Wales
Drive, Nepean on Thursday, June 28, 2007 at 3: 15 p.m. For further
information please call Tubman Funeral Homes at 613-722-6559.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Marjorie's name to the Ottawa
Mission, 35 Waller Street, Ottawa, K1N 7G4, would be sincerely
appreciated. Anyone wishing to read 'Diary of Breast Cancer'

May (née

Passed peacefully away on Wednesday, December 12, 2007, at Arborstone

She was in her 74th year and was predeceased in 2005 by her devoted
and beloved husband of 46 years, Peter Forbes
GRAY/GREY, her mother
Margaret in 1996, father Charles in 1980 and brother Raymond

St.
Anthony,

Pamela (Brian
GUY,) Saint_John's, Newfoundland, and a large number
of relatives and Friends. Described by her siblings as effortlessly
clever, she completed high school at the age of fifteen and began
teaching at the age of sixteen, first at L'Anse au Clair, Labrador,
and later at her hometown, Raleigh. In 1953, after receiving
her Laboratory Technician Certificate, she began working at the
St. Clairs Mercy Hospital, Saint_John's, Newfoundland. Beautiful
but shy, Muriel was introduced to her future husband Peter by
a friend of the family. At the time, Peter was working with McNamara
Construction building a highway in the Witless Bay area. He was
young, handsome and had a charming wit that was rumoured to have
won Muriel's heart by whispering in her ear 'You sure smell better
than the guys at the bunkhouse!' Muriel and her family lived
in Toronto, Ottawa, and Sudbury before moving to Halifax in 1973.
Apart from being a dedicated mother, wife, and homemaker, she
also worked for a time as an interior decorator and was known
for her personal touch of having a 'sense of style'. Muriel was
also respected as a tireless volunteer and committee member of
the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron where she served for some
thirtythree years. Muriel was beautiful in mind, body, and spirit
she had a musical laugh and a wonderful, self-depreciating sense
of humour, and a gentle touch that made her unique to all who
knew her. She adored her two grand_sons and was well enough to
enjoy them both as young children. A sincere thank-you to the
thirdfloor staff of Arborstone Enhanced Care for their kindness
and dedication to Muriel and her family these past two years.
Donations in Muriel's memory may be made to the Parkinson's Society
of Canada. E-mail condolences to: susang@ca.ns.sympatico.ca.

LANGFORD,
Ernest
Frederick
(March 9, 1920-December 1, 2006)
With great sorrow, we announce the sudden but peaceful passing
of Ernest Frederick
LANGFORD, writer, musician, and painter.
Ernest was born in Broseley, Shropshire, England. As a boy, Ernest
was an accomplished violinist. He immigrated to Canada in 1950 and
settled in British Columbia in 1953 where he began writing stage,
radio and television plays. In the 1960s he began to write full
time and over four decades produced 24 novels, 20 full-length
stage plays, many short stories, and a collection of poetry.
The hallmarks of Ernest's work are originality and imaginative
power. He was a self-educated man and prolific reader and interpreter
of classical and English literature. Music remained a great love
throughout his life. Surviving are his wife, Caroline, his children,
Rachel (Janette), Stephanie, Mark (Kate) and Francesca (Surinder).
We love him dearly and will miss him greatly. His grandchildren,
Michael, Adam, Cecilia, Hannah, Anna, and Rosemary will always
remember him. A private viewing was held for family members.

WARD,

Died quietly on July 5, 2007 at age 87, the final small transition
in an illness that had diminished her once-sharp mind and weakened
her once-agile body. Her emotional capacity endured longer, allowing
occasional flashes of her essential kindness, sweetness and bravery,
even towards the end. Claire was born in East York in 1919, the
youngest in a family of five children of Thomas Bartholomew William
HIGGINS and Augusta
RYAN, and step-mother Frances
COOK.
Her▼ four
siblings, Tony, Marjorie, Arthur and Ray all predeceased her.
In 1932, the family returned to England and in 1938, Claire married
Arthur WARD.
They▼ were intensely devoted to each other for 65 years
until his death in 2003. They went through the London Blitz together,
each working in civil defense. Then in 1949 they and their daughters
emigrated to Canada where Claire worked with passion and commitment
in a number of helping organizations in Toronto, including many
years with the office of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees, and the United Nations Association in Canada. She
also studied for 14 years, mostly in the evenings, to get a B.A.
from the University of Toronto at age 54. Claire and Arthur were
members of Holy Trinity Church, Thornhill and Saint Paul's (Westdale)

'Profound sadness' at
GREENBERG's death
Memorial Sunday for former professor, local lecturer
By Denis LANGLOIS,
Thursday,
May 31, 2007
Well-known architecture expert, lecturer and retired university
professor Bob
GREENBERG has died from cancer.
People close to
GREENBERG say he was a great teacher and a man
who cared deeply about architectural preservation and an increased
appreciation of architecture.
"We've lost a very rare and unique person," local heritage advocate
John HARRISON said in an interview Wednesday.
GREENBERG, who was born in Bronx, New York in 1942, died Monday.
He was instrumental in establishing a degree architecture program
at Ryerson University in 1972 and retired from the university
in 1999 after a 28-year career. He and his wife Georgina bought
a house near Dobbinton in 1992.
GREENBERG has a long list of accomplishments in Grey-Bruce and
worked for many years on architectural heritage in the area.
He also worked on projects at both Grey Roots and the Bruce County
museum and was a founding Bluewater Association of Lifelong Learning
lecturer.
He was vocal during the debate over the demolition of the historic
Queen's Hotel in Owen Sound.
HARRISON said
GREENBERG aroused an interest in people in historical
architecture.
"He was a renaissance man in the truest case," he added. "He
was a tremendous teacher of architecture."
GREENBERG is survived by five children - Noah, 34, Zoe, 31, Naomi,
22, Paula, 19, and Eli, 15.
Noah GREENBERG, an architect in Seattle, Washington., said Wednesday
his father saw the "big picture" and a need to spread an understanding
of the importance of architecture.
He said his father's home is filled with architectural drawings,
sketch books, scrolls and educational books - enough to fill
a library.
Noah said his father was "very close and patient" as a parent..
Georgina recalled her husband had a minor roll in the development
of the World Trade Center in New York City, as a junior draftsman
creating flow charts on pedestrian traffic. He was designed the
award-winning St. Elias Ukranian Catholic Church in Brampton,
Ontario, where a celebration of his life will be held this summer.
She said the local heritage work her husband was involved with
became like a second career after retirement. He sort of "fell
into it" after being approached by people in the community.
Ed WOJS, a Ryerson University professor who was taught by
GREENBERG,
said he has been receiving e-mails since
GREENBERG's death from
around the world from his former students.
"There's a profound sadness," he said. "He is the father of our
program here at Ryerson."
GREENBERG served as an architecture heritage advisor in both
Owen Sound and Collingwood. He worked on the city's facade program,
was a consultant on heritage issues and involved in Doors Open
and the city's historic walking tour.
"He had a wealth of knowledge and an ability to teach and impart
that knowledge to all of us," Owen Sound Mayor Ruth
LOVELL said.
GREENBERG advised on such local projects as the Intrawest development
at Blue Mountain, the Loblaw's grocery store in Collingwood,
the planned expansion of the Owen Sound Farmer's Market and early
talks to move and restore a 19th century Mennonite church west
of Rockford.
GREENBERG spent more than 600 hours designing and building a
scale model of Grey Roots' Moreston village.
Grey
Roots' manager Brian
MANSER said
GREENBERG, who sat on the
museum's fundraising committee and lectured there, had a great
interest in Grey County architecture and saving historic buildings
and 'gave himself completely" to projects.
"It's tough moving forward without him."
GREENBERG also helped design "L'Chaim, the story of the Beth
Ezekiel Synagogue," exhibit at Grey Roots.
"The exhibit is a success because of his efforts," synagogue
president Jeff
ELIE said, adding
GREENBERG's knowledge of Judaism,
sensitivity and insight proved invaluable.
ELIE said
GREENBERG was Jewish by birth, but was not a member
of the synagogue although he cared deeply about it. When the
building was in danger of collapse,
GREENBERG offered his architectural
services free of charge.
The
Beth
Ezekiel Synagogue will hold a memorial service for
GREENBERG
on Sunday starting at 4: 30 p.m.
