'A terrible tragedy'
She was London police's highest-ranking female officer, respected
and moving up quickly; he was a tough, compassionate cop retired
after 35 years. Their deaths have stunned a city.
By Jane SIMS,
Sun
Media,
Fri.,
June 8, 2007
Kelly JOHNSON broke through the glass ceiling of the London police
department and had become a role model for the women on the force.
About to take over the helm of the professional standards branch
as an inspector, the force's highest-ranking woman, she was viewed
as a potential future chief.
She was born with policing in her blood. She was the only child
of Merv JOHNSON, who retired as London's deputy chief.
She started with the police force 18 years ago, travelling up
the ranks in traffic and criminal investigations.
Along the way, the 40-year-old
JOHNSON earned the respect and
admiration of many in the anti-violence community.
Yesterday, those who knew her as a friend, officer and anti-violence
advocate reacted with shock and sadness to her violent death.
"It's sad. It's terrible," said retired superintendent Don
ANDREWS,
who was JOHNSON's father's partner on the break- and-enter squad
years ago.
ANDREWS knew
JOHNSON from her childhood and attended her wedding
to London police Insp. Steve
PEARSON about a decade ago.
PEARSON retired from the force last Friday. The couple was estranged.
JOHNSON was set to fill the post left by
PEARSON.
She'd earned
it.
ANDREWS, admittedly never a strong supporter of women in policing,
said: "She was one of the ones I thought was a good one."
Most recently, she headed up the force's sexual assault and child
abuse section, an area that includes domestic violence investigations.
She was a respected member of the London Co-ordinating Committee
to End Women Abuse.
"What she brought was the understanding of a criminal justice
perspective and an openness and a willingness to understand from
a community perspective as well," said Barb
MacQUARRIE, community
director of the Centre of Violence Against Women and Children.
She seemed open to anything. She'd recently attended a forum
on the sex trade, an area police have struggled to deal with,
MacQUARRIE said.
"This is a terrible loss in our community. It is going to have
a big impact on many people that
(LUCIO and
JOHNSON) worked with,"
she said.
Middlesex
Crown attorney Geoff
BEASLEY said
JOHNSON will be "sorely
missed" by colleagues in the justice system.
"She was highly respected for her skills as a police officer
and for the professionalism and compassion she brought to the
investigations she conducted," he said.
One of
JOHNSON's most challenging cases in recent years was that
of Edith SANDERS, an octogenarian child abuser who tortured her
biological daughter and an adopted daughter and held another
woman in virtual slavery for decades.
Megan WALKER, executive director of the London Abused Women's
Centre, served with
JOHNSON on anti-violence committees and spoke
of her "valuable contribution."
Yesterday, she recalled a recent conversation the two had on
a protest march downtown. It was cold that morning, and
JOHNSON
wasn't dressed for the chill.
Nevertheless, "we had a lovely early-morning chat in this protest
march… a wonderful warm talk.
"I am just overcome with sorrow for those who will be impacted
by the loss," she said.
"We talk all the time about domestic violence and getting involved,"
WALKER said. "Truly, we really don't know what goes on in the
lives of people, do we?"
JOHNSON also faced personal tragedy. Her mother, Donna, died
of cancer late in 2005. She had been seriously hurt before that,
struck by a vehicle.
"She was ill in one way or another for quite some period of time,
but when Donna did pass away, Kelly and Merv joined together
and faced it in a strong fashion," said former London deputy
police chief Elgin
AUSTEN.
Her parents were proud of how quickly
JOHNSON moved up the police
ranks, he added.

wife Edna lived and raised their family.
Jack was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish and camp
and who especially enjoyed touring about in his camper visiting
family and Friends. He especially liked taking each of his family
for a week during the summer months when they would share time
together, usually on a fishing adventure. Jack also enjoyed getting
away to the "acreage" where he would relax in his woodworking
hobby and just enjoying the life which it provided. His family,
and particularly his grandchildren, were his "pride and joy".
He was predeceased by his beloved Edna (née
McARTHUR) and is
lovingly remembered by his children Tom
LOUCKS
(Andrea) of Coronation,
Jean (Bob)
WALL of Calgary, Bob
LOUCKS
(Shar) also of Calgary,

LOUCKS of New Brunswick and
is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Following cremation, a family service and celebration of Jack's
life, officiated by Reverend Doctor Brian
GOODINGS, was conducted
at the Ferguson Funeral Home, 48 Boucher St. E. in Meaford, Ontario
on Saturday, June 2 at 11: 00 a.m.
Jack's cremated remains will be interred at Rocky Mountain House,
Alberta. As your expression of sympathy, donations to the Centre
Grey Health Services Foundation would be appreciated.

MacINNIS,
Doctor
Cameron
Died peacefully on July 11, 2007, at Saint Michael's Hospital,
Toronto, in his 82nd year, with Mary, his devoted sister, at
his side. Born March 25, 1926 in West Bay, Nova Scotia, Cameron
was the son of Alexander and Janet
(CAMERON)
MacINNIS.
Besides
his parents, he was predeceased by brothers Ian and Allister,
and nephew, David
MacINNIS. He is survived by beloved sisters
Anna (Grey)
AUSTIN,
Calgary, and Mary
MacINNIS, Toronto, thirteen
nieces and nephews, seventeen great-nieces and nephews, and countless
Friends. Cameron received his primary and secondary education
in West Bay and Sydney, Nova Scotia, following which he graduated
Bachelor of Science from Dalhousie University in 1946, and Bachelor
of Engineering (Honours Civil Engineering) from the Technical
University of Nova Scotia in 1948. After working as a research
engineer for Ontario Hydro for eleven years, he was awarded a
bursary by the Cement and Concrete Association (United Kingdom)
for doctoral studies in concrete technology at the University
of Durham (England), receiving the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
in 1962. Cameron was appointed professor of Civil Engineering
at the University of Windsor in 1963, beginning a long and distinguished
career as an outstanding teacher, researcher, and administrator.
He was head of the Department of Civil Engineering from 1976 to
1979 and Dean of Engineering from 1979 to 1989, retiring as Professor
Emeritus in 1991. An internationally recognized expert on concrete,
Cameron's research was supported over many years by grants from
the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada,
and resulted in numerous scientific articles. He and former student,
Dr. Norbert
BECKER, received the prestigious Wason Medal for
Materials Research of the American Concrete Institute in 1975,
for the best paper of the year in that field. In recognition
of his outstanding contributions to engineering science Cameron
was made a Life Member and Fellow of the Canadian Society of
Civil Engineering, a Fellow of the American Concrete Institute,
and a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada. However,
what gave him the greatest pleasure were the accomplishments
of his students. Cameron also distinguished himself in professional
and community service. He was a referee for numerous scholarly
journals and for National Science and Engineering Research Council
of Canada and the National Research Council of Canada, a member
of various technical committees of the Canadian Standards Association
and the American Concrete Institute, and Chairman of the Board
of the Border Cities Branch of the Engineering Institute of Canada.
He served on the University of Windsor Senate and Board of Governors,
the Council of Ontario Universities, the Board of Directors of
the London Goodenough Association of Canada, and the Board of
Windsor's Metropolitan Hospital. Cameron manifested his strong
commitment to human rights through membership in Amnesty International
and as an envoy of the First Unitarian Church, Toronto, to the
United Nations Non-governmental Organization. Cameron's life
was enriched by his love of art, music, and theatre. He was a
voracious reader and a wonderful conversationalist. He travelled
extensively, with favourite destinations being Great Britain
and Nova Scotia. Cameron had a delightful and of ten mischievous
sense of humour. His gregarious nature was a hallmark of who
he was. He was comfortable in any social situation and had a
marvellous capacity to put others at ease. A man of high principles
and great integrity, he was exemplary in his loyalty and devotion
to family and Friends. Cameron will be remembered as a true gentleman,
and is held in the greatest respect and affection by all who
were so very fortunate to know him. A celebration of Cameron's
life will be held on Saturday, September 15, 2007 at 2: 00 p.m.
at the First Unitarian Church, 175 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto.
Immediately following there will be a reception at the Church.
As an expression of sympathy and respect donations may be made
in Cameron's memory to the Doctor Cameron MacInnis Scholarship in
the Faculty of Engineering, University of Windsor, c/o University
Advancement, 401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, Ontario N9B 3P4.

(June 18, 1948-October 5, 1997)
I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the
hard ground
So it is and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.
