With great sadness the family announces the passing of Douglas

House, Oakville, Ontario in his 89th year.
Beloved husband of Betty (née

of Jeanine, Douglas, and Graham, and their respective partners,
Don THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON,
Domenica and Rosemary; grandfather of Cathy

of St. Catharines and Uncle to Susan
McGRAIL-
HAGGAR.
Brother-in-law
to Dorothy
MARTYN of Mississauga and Uncle to Jennifer and John.
Born in Montréal to Ernest and Lucy Davis
TOUGH he moved to Toronto
where he was captain of his football team at Vaughan Road Collegiate
and also played for the University of Toronto where he graduated
in Metallurgical Engineering in 4T4.
He held executive positions with Westinghouse Canada in Defense
Apparatus, the Motor Division, and laterally the Atomic Power
Division in Port Hope. He served as joint chair of the American
and Canadian Nuclear Power Associations in 1968.
A fine athlete he enjoyed football, hiking, scuba-diving, skiing
and golf at the Oakville Golf Club, badminton and tennis at the
Oakville Club; Doug was also an avid swimmer at his beloved Balsam
Lake and in their condo pool in Florida. Dad first took up tennis
in his mid-forties at Long Point and enjoyed the sport so much
he formed a committee and funded the construction of a new second
court in the centre lands. His enthusiasm for the sport and initiative
led to the existence of two excellent courts enjoyed by the cottagers
extensively. The Association in his honour have named the annual
Cup and Saucer mixed doubles championship the "Tough Trophy".
Upon his retirement he and Betty enjoyed many years of travel,
to Europe, China, Russia, Indonesia and many cruises in the Caribbean,
barge trips along the canals of France were a highlight.
His special delights included reading in his solarium on Spruce
Street, his residence for sixty years, listening to classical
music in the sunroom of his cottage on Long Point, Balsam Lake
and discussing philosophy with his many grandchildren during
family dinners and parties.
Border Collies, Raleigh, Collette, and Bailey were a big part
of his life as was his interest in painting where many of his
family have treasured possessions of his talent. Many of Doug's
Friends have tokens of his artistic ability, sketches and cards
etched on birch bark were his forté. For over 20 years Dad encouraged
and organized family parties at Long Point, memorable events
that will always be remembered and cherished by all of us. His
family was his greatest dedication and our love and respect will
be his finest achievement.
Our special thanks to Doctor Ken Collett, for his care and support
to Doug and the family, he is truly a credit to his profession.
We also want to thank the many compassionate caregivers at the
Ian Anderson house for their dedication and commitment in making
Doug comfortable and safe during his stay at their Hospice. The
Ian Anderson House is a fine facility offering a quality and
dignified last stay and their efforts towards serving the positive
and their beautiful environment make for comfortable quality
end-of-life care.
Following his wishes there will be a family service only. In
lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer
Society or the Ian Anderson House 430 Winston Churchill Blvd.,
Oakville, Ontario L6J 7X2 or www.Ianandersonhouse.com and condolences

PRIDDLE,
Stanley
Alexander
Stanley Alexander
PRIDDLE of Markdale passed away suddenly in
the Grey-Bruce Regional Health Centre in Owen Sound on Sunday
evening, September 2, 2007.
He was born on July 10, 1930 in Osprey Township, the only son
of Roy PRIDDLE and Jessie
(BADGEROW)
PRIDDLE. He and his three
sisters attended S.S.#2 McIntyre in Osprey Township where his
parents farmed. In 1944 Stan's father purchased a home near Dundalk
where the family resided for many years.
Stan's working career started after high school when he found
employment with Aitchison's Bakery in Dundalk. He worked there
for 12 years and learned the baking trade. In 1957 he took over
the bakery in Markdale which had been started by Allen
SMITH
of Dundalk. Two years later he purchased a building across the
street and moved the business there.
On October 24, 1959 he married Vivian
DAWSON of Dundalk and together
they owned and operated Priddle's Bakery. And that bakery was
a great success. People still rave about it today. Just last
year someone told his daughter Brenda that she used to go to
his bakery and had to hide the pastries she bought in different
areas of her house so people wouldn't eat them before meal time.
Many of the pleasant memories shared by those who attended visitations
and the funeral revolved around the bakery.
After Stan sold the bakery in 1972, he worked as a baker for
Vern's
Donuts in Owen Sound His employer, Vern
BARBER, remembered
Stan as someone who always had a smile on his face, and his co-worker,
Paul DICKSON/DIXON said that Stan taught him how to be a good baker.
Stan worked for Vern for 17 years before ill health forced him
to retire.
Stan's favourite pastime was to drive a car. He enjoyed travelling
to many places, both locally and far away. He has been in every
Canadian province and in many parts of the United States, to
the Bahamas and
to Jamaica. "If you're not going, you're not
living!" was his motto.
In retirement years he and Vivian purchased antique cars and
attended local parades and car shows. If a stranger wanted a
ride in one of his cars, he gave him one. They had many adventures
with these cars and met many new people along the way.
Stan had a good sense of humour. He was generous, quiet kind
and considerate. He was held in good esteem by all who knew him.
Stan is survived by his daughters, Brenda
CATCHER of Owen Sound
and Evelyn (Reg)
CREGO of Burlington and by his son David (Camilla)
PRIDDLE of Manotick, near Ottawa. He also has four grandchildren,
Ryan and Allison
DEMERCHANT and Cole and Brock
PRIDDLE. He is
fondly remembered by his friend Joyce
ROWE of Hanover who has
arranged to have a tree planted in his honour near Griersville.
He is also survived by his sisters Rosetta
MUIR of Dundalk, Margaret
BROWN of Shelburne and Verna
MARKOVICH of Shelburne. His mother-in-law
Lillian DAWSON of Shelburne and his brother-in-law Tom
DAWSON
of Dundalk also survive. He was predeceased by his parents Roy
and Jessie
PRIDDLE, and by his brothers-in-law Bill
MUIR,
Donald
BROWN and Stephen
MARKOVICH.
A funeral was held on Friday, September 7 at the Donald and May
Funeral Home in Markdale. His daughter Brenda wrote the eulogy
and his son David delivered the eulogy along with his own thoughts.
His other daughter, Evelyn, prepared a collage of pictures of
Stan at various stages in his life. Rev. Mark
WAUGH officiated
at the service and David
FRIES played the organ. A floral arrangement
was made for Stan by Bernice
TUPLIN of Feversham.
Friends and relatives were present from Markdale, Dundalk, Owen
Sound, Chesley, Cambridge, Burlington and Manotick.

DEGRACE,
Margaret
French (née
MacLAUCHLAN)
Wolfville
Passed away peacefully at her cottage at Sebim Beach, Villagedale,
Nova Scotia, on July 5, 2007. Peggy was born July 29, 1924 in
Kentville, Nova Scotia, the daughter of the late Roderick and
Marian (FRINK)
MacLAUCHLAN.
She spent her early years with her
family in Rothesay, New Brunswick, Wolfville and Yarmouth, Nova
Scotia. She served in the Royal Canadian Navy as a Wren (Women's
Royal Canadian Naval Service) from 1944 to 1945, working in Halifax,
and in 1945 married Robert F.
DEGRACE of Seattle, Washington.
They made their first home in Seattle and after several years
there, and
in Corvallis, Oregon, they moved back to Canada in
1952. Eventually they settled in Manor Park in Ottawa, where
they lived for thirty years.
Peggy was not only a busy community volunteer (sometimes referred
to as "Mrs. Altar Guild"), she was also a loving and devoted
mother and grandmother, and a caring friend to many. She took
up curling at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Curling Club
in Ottawa and developed a love for this sport which stayed with
her all her life. She was interested in everything: politics,
sports, community events, a good game of cribbage, and, above
all, the well- being of family and Friends. In 1984 Peggy and
Bob moved to Wolfville, Nova Scotia where they renewed old Friendships
and developed many new ones. In Wolfville, Peggy was a member
of Saint_John's Anglican Church and worked faithfully for the church.
She helped with Meals on Wheels, served on the local hospital
auxiliary, and canvassed for many important charities.
Peggy loved her cottage at Sebim Beach, and nothing pleased her
more than a sunny day, a warm tide, and lots of children and
dogs.
She is survived by her sons John (Judy
SIMMS,)
Prince
George,
British Columbia, and Bill, Bermuda; daughters Barbara
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON

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.

FRISINA o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2007-10-02 published
FRISINA,
Alfonso
Esamuele
Husband, father, grandfather, builder, visionary. Born January 11,
1926, in Delianuova, Calabria, Italy. Died in Hamilton, Ontario,
March 29, unexpectedly while in hospital being treated for gout,
aged 81.

FRISINA,

'The harder you work the luckier you get."
That was one of Dad's favourite mottos. He pretty well always
achieved what he set out to do, be it in his family life, his
career or his community.
Al FRISINA was born in a mountain town in southern Italy. He
was one of 10 children and he worked with his brothers building
furniture to help support the family, particularly after his
father's death. That event changed his hopes of becoming a lawyer.
Dad's decision to embark on the ship Saturnia for Canada was
made for love - to be with his betrothed, Antonia. They married
and had seven children.
His first year in Canada was spent working on a farm in Millgrove,
Ontario He later started his career as a carpenter with a local
contractor, working long hours by day and on small house renovation
projects nights and weekends.
But he was ambitious and set his sights on bigger things. In
1954, he established Frisina Construction Co. Ltd., which later
became the builder of numerous schools, churches, apartment and
commercial buildings.
Dad was outspoken and, in some ways, fearless. He connected with
politicians and religious and community leaders, challenging
them all to upset the status quo.
He worked hard, and in his younger years he played hard, too.
He scuba dived (even though he didn't know how to swim at the
time), tried to teach Mom to drive his Austin Healey Sprite (not
the most practical from her perspective) and few could believe
it when he shipped his 1960 white Lincoln to Delianuova, Italy
to enjoy it with his hometown Friends.
He encountered numerous setbacks such as discrimination, naysayers,
a brain aneurysm at 48 and two serious car accidents. He faced
these challenges head-on with a healthy dose of optimism and
humour.
Behind all the drive, hard work and charisma was a man who was
immensely proud and deeply devoted to his family.
His eyes lit up whenever one of his 10 grandchildren entered
the room. Whenever we asked him what he wanted as a gift, he
would simply reply: "I want you to be good."
The Lake Erie cottage he built became the meeting place for family
gatherings.
He was pivotal in these events, his tenor voice leading everyone
in Neapolitan song, dancing the tarantella with vigour and, most
often, winning the bocce tournament. My cousin recently remarked:
"He was the force that brought all of us together."
Filomena FRISINA is Al's daughter.
