BLACK,
Kenneth
James
Died on August 11, 2007 at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto from
complications following pneumonia. Loving husband of Mary, who
predeceased him in 1976, a devoted father to Amy and grandfather
to Theo BROOKE, born August 2006; he was adored by Amy, Theo
and son-in-law Stephen
BROOKE.
His sister-in-law Marjorie
BLACK,
nieces and nephew Cathy, Diane and Norm
BLACK, great-nephew Gregory
BLACK and great-niece Jacqueline
BLACK, cousins Michel
JONES,
Stephen and Stuart
THURSBY,
Wendy and Bill
KREVER, and Natalie
COYLE were all dear members of his family in Ontario. He will
be greatly missed by all his family from Winnipeg: brother-in-law
Alfred KAYE, nephews and nieces John, Kathie, Gordon and Jeanne
KAYE; great-nieces and great-nephews Liz, Cameron, Donna, Michael,
and Michele
KAYE,
Michael
PURVES-
SMITH and Robert
POHL. Ken was
also a dear and caring uncle to niece Nicola
IVANOVIC, nephews
David and Neil
CHAPMAN, great-nieces Natasha and Isabella
IVANOVIC
and Jessica
CHAPMAN, all of Merseyside, England; he was a cherished
brother-in-law to Rosemarie
CHAPMAN and Dennis
CHAPMAN, also
of Merseyside. He was predeceased by his sister, Elizabeth, and
brothers Ralph and Arthur, and by his nieces Jacqueline
BLACK
and Margaret
KAYE.
Ken's strong sense of loyalty and fun animated
a wide circle of Friends in Canada and
in England over his entire
life.
Ken was born in Winnipeg on May 10, 1924, the youngest of Norman
and Margaret
BLACK's four children. He attended the University
of Manitoba and served in the Royal Canadian Navy in corvettes
during the Second World War. After the war, he became a journalist,
first working at the Winnipeg Free Press and the Winnipeg Tribune
then spending time in Europe and England for Reuters. In 2006,
he published a memoir of his adventures during and after the
war entitled Telling It Like It Was. He joined the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation in 1957 where he worked, in both radio and television,
for over 35 years, in London, England, Saint John's, Newfoundland
and Toronto. After his retirement he dedicated himself to his
many interests, including travelling, writing, neighbourhood
activism, birdwatching and his legendary annual Victoria Day
Party.
Ken brought an unrivalled joy to life and touched everyone he
met with this enthusiasm and with his charm and humour. He was
a true gentleman, but with a wry and sometimes mischievous outlook.
Ken had the gift of treating everyone with the same gracious
manner. As the countless guests to his house will attest, he
was the soul of hospitality. He was as happy playing with children
as entertaining adults and will be remembered by a number of
generations as the delightful and engaged grown-up always ready
with wind-up toys, kites, stories and songs. His interests were
eclectic, but they were bound together by an unceasing curiosity
and energy. Ken was the cherished heart of a number of social
worlds and families. He will be sorely missed. A memorial service
will be held on Friday, August, 17, 2007 at 3: 00 p.m. at Enoch
Turner Schoolhouse, 106 Trinity Street (one block east of Parliament,
just south of King Street East, Toronto). In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made in Ken's memory to the Bruce Trail Association.
