She was the First Anglican woman elected a parish warden in Toronto
Raised in 11 foster homes, she became a teacher and counsellor
who championed the rights of aboriginal people, immigrants, gays,
the poor and the marginalized long before it was trendy
By Ron CSILLAG,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S10
Toronto -- You'd think being shunted from one foster home to
another would make a person hard. Helen
GOUGH -- born illegitimate
at a time when that was a stigma -- spent her childhood in no
fewer than 11 foster homes, and emerged a gentle but tenacious
advocate with an outsized social conscience that was fired by
her mentor, Jesus. "Whatever I did, I did it as a Christian,"
she wrote in the preface to her unpublished memoirs. "I was a
Jesus freak. I wanted to lead that kind of life."
In doing so, Ms.
GOUGH "turned the Gospels upside down [by] turning
those who were down, up," eulogized Rev. Sara
BOYLES, priest
at Ms. GOUGH's beloved Holy Trinity Church in downtown Toronto.
"Helen turned the world upside down."
She did that, against all odds, by excelling in the so-called
helping professions: Teaching, counselling and activism for aboriginal
people, immigrants, gays, the poor and the marginalized. She
stood up for their rights long before it was trendy, often forsaking
her own fragile psyche.
Far from being a household name, except perhaps within the Anglican
Church's more progressive elements in Toronto, Ms.
GOUGH would
not have minded being labelled ordinary, though she was far from
it. "It's ordinary people, ordinary women, who have done much
of what it took to make this nation what it is," she stated not
long ago. "Ordinary people with extraordinary courage. Whatever
else I am, I'm a Canadian. I'm a Canadian woman."
She was the first woman elected a parish warden in the Anglican
Church of Canada's Toronto diocese, in 1971.
Her mother, also named Helen
GOUGH, play a pivotal role in her
fatherless and husbandless life. The elder Ms.
GOUGH, who died
in 1981, had been a Barnardo child, one of some 30,000 sick,
destitute or orphaned British children shipped to the colonies
as "seedling citizens of the British Empire" by English philanthropist
Thomas Barnardo to work on farms or as domestics. (Between 600 and
1,000 children were sent to Canada from the late 1800s to 1915.)
Helen senior, with still-fresh memories of time spent in an actual
English poorhouse, arrived in Southern Ontario in 1912 as a 10-year-old,
together with her younger brother, Arthur. She toiled as a servant
at seven different places until she turned 18, surviving on the
cheapest foods and not once being allowed to use an indoor toilet.
On her own in Toronto, she found work as a clerk at the Hospital
for Sick Children, and soon fell in with a crowd that included
a handsome, suave clothing salesman from Stratford. When she
became pregnant, he denied all knowledge of her, as advised by
his uncle, a judge. It wasn't until the younger Ms.
GOUGH was
in her late 40s that she discovered her father's identity; he
had become a fat drunk and died of a coronary when he was 60.
Too poor to raise her daughter, the elder Ms.
GOUGH, by this
time a live-in domestic, appealed to Catholic Children's Aid.
(The child's father was Catholic.) But if the agency took the
child in, she would be raised in an orphanage as a Roman Catholic.
Her mother declined. "It must have taken tremendous courage for
a woman to do that in 1930, and she was one of many who simply
refused," her daughter later wrote.
Instead, her mother turned to the Children's Aid Society, which
transferred the sickly baby to a woman whose sole task was to
nurse sick infants back to health. Then came long years of foster
care at nearly a dozen places, during which mother and daughter
saw each other only intermittently. By the age of eight, young
Helen had already attended Baptist, United and Roman Catholic
churches, but made up her mind that the Anglicans were for her.
She finally went to live with her mother when she was 15.
Ms. GOUGH's first taste of overt racism came while she worked
as a teenaged waitress one summer at the Pearson Hotel on Centre
Island. As she recalled, a short, self-important Englishman working
in the kitchen informed a Chinese dishwasher: "I'm not taking
any orders from a bloody Chink!" The Chinese man, a foot taller,
brought the dish he was holding down on the man's skull. The
plate shattered, and the blood coursed down the small man's head.
Both were fired, and the incident stayed with her forever.
She was 19 when she befriended Gerry
O'DONOGHUE of Toronto (later
Gerry RANSOM,) whose family adopted Ms.
GOUGH as one of their
own, and whose daughter Beverley was Ms.
GOUGH's goddaughter.
The same year, Ms.
GOUGH graduated from Toronto Teachers' College
and went to teach near Port Credit, Ontario That was followed
by four years of teaching status Indians and Métis at an "Indian
Day School" in Moose Lake, southeast of The Pas, Manitoba
Life was primitive and harsh, but for Ms.
GOUGH, it was happily
reminiscent of the Girl Guides camps she'd attended as a child.
The three teachers took turns doing the three main chores: one
week each on cooking, cleanup and "wood and water."
It was here that she became smitten with the shy aboriginal children,
and impressed with their determination to learn English. (There
is no mention in Ms.
GOUGH's memoirs of church-run residential
schools, where native children underwent horrific abuses that
led to multimillion-dollar legal payouts decades later.) After
teaching catechism and assisting with church services, she returned
to Toronto to deepen her spirituality by studying at the Anglican
Women's Training College. One summer, she took a job with the
federal government's Indian Affairs department teaching at an
Ojibwa-Cree settlement in Bearskin Lake, Ontario
In 1960, she began as an "Indian liaison worker" in the Toronto
diocese, helping aboriginals access "white" social service agencies.
It was half-time initially, "since no one really believed there
were Indians in Toronto," she would recall. She was a pioneer
of the first native centre in Toronto, and proudly outed a co-worker
who had referred to Ms.
GOUGH's client as "dirty and drunken&hellip
you know, a typical Indian."
The man who had made the remark "was not happy about being exposed,
but it was a great moment of insight for me," she remembered.
"It's important to speak truth to power when we are in positions
to do so. If we don't, who will?"
Around this time, Ms.
GOUGH noticed that she was prone to periodic
bouts of depression, preceded by highs that dropped to debilitating
lows, and an inability to control either. The condition led her
to years of psychotherapy and such treatments as psychodrama,
bioenergetics and Arthur Janov's primal therapy, during which
she began to face the pain of separation she'd experienced as
a child.
She went into social service work for the diocese, mainly on
housing conditions in Toronto, before returning to school at
35 to earn a B.A. at York University. She confessed that it was
the worst experience of her adult life. With a D average, "I
was so ashamed, I didn't go to my graduation or tell my mother
about it until much later." Despite that, she returned to York
a decade later to earn a master's degree in English, with honours,
and an essay prize.
Meantime, there was a flurry of action in Toronto: In 1968, she
was one of the original activists to develop Alexandra Park Co-op,
today a 410-unit housing project in downtown Toronto (she worked
alongside June Rowlands, who went on to become mayor of Toronto).
She then worked for the Young Women's Christian Association,
finding rooms for Caribbean domestics, before taking a job for
17 years with the Toronto Board of Education, working extensively
with immigrant parents. Her involvement with the Riverdale Intergenerational
Project brought seniors into schools as volunteers.
She embraced gay rights through what she called a particularly
Anglican resolution: "All may, none must and some ought." Tall,
gangly and sometimes physically awkward, she denied being a lesbian,
"although I feel more comfortable with women than men. If you
grow up in a series of homes, you don't learn to establish primary
relationships. There were boys I really liked but I saw myself
as plain. I was a wallflower at dances and very bookish. I made
good secondary relationships, but primary ones [were] much more
difficult."
In retirement, she seemed to accelerate, taking up travel, river
rafting, voice lessons and photography. She produced pictures
that testified to an almost child-like wonderment about the natural
world.
She saw her mission through a simple lens: If she was going to
do anything as a Christian, it was to respond to society's dispossessed.
"I was not there to hold office," she reasoned, "but to meet
people on the ground."

GOUIN o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2007-11-14 published
GOUIN,
Jean
Yvon "
Ivan"
On November 11, 2007 Ivan, beloved husband of the late Carol
GOUIN, passed away peacefully.
Ivan was born on February 15, 1916 in Vimy, Alberta. He was the
second of seven children born to Rudolph and Rose Alma
GOUIN.
The family lived in rugged conditions on a small farm. As a teenager
during the Great Depression of the 1930's, Ivan experienced the
desperation of poverty. The lessons of misery defined his young
life and taught Ivan that hard work, persistence and optimism
would change his circumstance. Always practical even as a little
a boy, Ivan once witnessed a fire and responded to those crying,
'God stop the flames, by saying you pray, I'm getting some water'.
An alter boy to an early mentor, Father Coolin, Ivan learned
and lived by the notion, the most important thing was to look
after those he loved here and now, not in the hereafter. Throughout
his life, generosity flowed from a man who is defined by helping
others. In 1938 at the age of 22, Ivan got a job at grain elevator.
His salary of $15 a week was shared by his large family whose
needs he understood as being more important than his own.
In 1940, Ivan discovered his entrepreneurial talent by purchasing
a general store in Vimy with his sister. From those humble beginnings
Ivan prospered, never forgetting his commitment to his family
and those in need. World War Two interrupted his career as a
shop keeper when he joined the Canadian Army and served in Ontario.
After serving in the military and seven years as a merchant,
Ivan realized the future of rural Alberta would be roads and
cars. Most important he understood this future would bring increased
competition to little towns and jeopardize his business and so
many others. Ivan sold his store and turned his attention to
a career that would make him a pioneer in construction.
Ever the entrepreneur, Ivan noticed farmers in the area were
using small bulldozers to clear their land. Most farmers did
not have the capital to invest in this equipment so Ivan and
his younger brother Bob bought one very old piece of equipment
and then another, clearing the land of bush and rock. As business
grew, the brothers broadened their horizons and secured work
from the Alberta Department of Highways.
On New Years Day 1948, at the age of 31 Ivan went to a party
that would change his life forever. At that happy occasion was
a beautiful woman named Carol. Originally from Yugoslavia, Carol
immigrated to Canada with her family as a child of 4. Ivan was
immediately captivated by the vibrant young woman. Three months
later they were married and began a family.
In 1951, Ivan and Carol moved their young family to a small house
in Edmonton and soon thereafter to the West Edmonton neighbourhood
of Valleyview. A home and a life Carol, Ivan and the children
would come to cherish. In 1952, Ivan, brother Bob and two partners
began work under the name North American Road Builders. Soon
the brothers bought out their partners and so began the foundation
of a company that expanded throughout Alberta. Twenty years later,
in 1972 Bob decided to pursue other interests. Ivan bought Bob's
share of the company.
There were many strenuous challenges, all of which Ivan faced
with optimism and an unrivalled passion. He knew the business,
worked hard to compete and expand. Survival was not always easy
in the highly competitive and always risky business of construction.
His success was by any standard, outstanding, fuelled by the
need to innovate, to compete and to see just over the horizon.
In the late 1970's, Ivan experienced health problems that changed
his approach to life and business, spending more time with Carol
traveling to southern California to escape Alberta's winters
and exploring the world. Ivan was blessed with an immense knowledge
of history and politics. He was a voracious reader, affording
him an intellectual presence that allowed him tolerance and perspective
widely respected throughout his life. Ivan was honest, his ethics
were beyond reproach. He had wisdom and grace, was a teacher
of all who knew him and a friend of so many. His optimism was
infectious. Ivan believed that obstacles in life provided endless
opportunity. When it rained making road building difficult he
would say, 'rain is why we include contingencies in our budgets,
when it does not rain, we are more profitable. And that's just
good business.' When faced with competition, Ivan would innovate.
When paying taxes, he would remind colleagues 'working is a privilege
and taxes remind us of that.' Business was his passion. Carol
and his family was his life. He respected others and asked only
what he expected of himself. Ivan is survived by his children
Elaine BUSCH (Ron), Roger (Peggy), Renee
KATZ (Daryl) Colette
(Michael), Martin (Sarah). His grandchildren include, Renee,
Arden, Justin, Anna, Lauren and Isabelle
GOUIN, Britt
FRENCH,
Harrison and Cloe. Ivan's brothers and sisters include, Giselle,
Jennie (deceased), Lucille (deceased), Lomar (deceased), Rolond
and Robert. His many nieces and nephews. Ivan will be remembered
for his many contributions to Edmonton, to Alberta and
to Canada.
A man of substance and charisma, of depth, and always a man whose
love of his wife knew no bounds. Ivan died in his 91st year at
11 a.m. on November 11. A fitting tribute to his country and
to his wife, Carol whose birthday fell on that same day.
Special thanks to Doctor Allison Theman for her compassion in caring
for both Carol and Ivan. And to the Emergency and Intensive Care
Units of the U of A and Misericordia Hospitals. The family thanks
Ivan's caregiver, Blandina Carilla for her many years of service.
There will be a family memorial service followed by a celebration
of his life, for all, at the Royal Mayfair Golf and Country Club
on south Groat Road in Edmonton, Thursday, November 15, at 4 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a hospital of your
choice. Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home 10011-114 Street Edmonton,

Czech wartime refugee became one of Canada's greatest composers
Originally a pianist, he forced himself to write a fugue a week
until he had mastered composition. He rejected avant-garde electronic
and 12-tone techniques in favour of laments and tributes that
probably drew inspiration from his memories of Europe, writes
Sandra MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S9
A Czech refugee from Nazism, Oskar
MORAWETZ was 23 when he arrived
in Toronto, but he remained a European in his sensibilities and
his musicianship throughout his long and prolific career as one
of Canada's best known and most frequently performed composers.
Known for his deep emotion, lyricism and melodic line, Prof.
MORAWETZ
wrote more than 100 orchestral and chamber works, including Carnival
Overture, Piano Concerto No. 1, Memorial to Martin Luther King
and From the Diary of Anne Frank. His music, both vocal and instrumental,
was performed by such musicians as Glenn
GOULD,
Maureen
Forrester,
Ben Heppner, Anton Kuerti, Yo-Yo Ma, Lois Marshall and Zubin
Mehta.
His knowledge of the great European composers was encyclopedic,
which made him a valuable teacher and mentor. In his own work,
he eschewed his colleagues' embrace of avant-garde electronic
and 12-tone techniques in favour of deeply felt emotional laments
and tributes that probably drew their inspiration from his memories
of Czechoslovakia, as it was before Hitler occupied the country,
and the trauma both of his own escape and the horrific fate of
many of his Friends and extended family members.
Pianist
Mr.
Kuerti remembered Prof.
MORAWETZ as a composer "whose
eclectic style was reminiscent of music written 50 to 75 years
earlier, as were, among others, Bach and Brahms in their time.
"He was in no way experimental or avant-garde, during a time
when radical innovation and destruction of tradition were highly
prized by the critics and other would-be oracles, if not by the
general public. For this he earned considerable disdain. But
his music is absolutely sincere, just as his personality was,
and it was extremely well crafted and has a distinct aroma of
its own.
"He had an uncanny memory for a great deal of music from the
past, and from his acquaintance with it he knew thoroughly all
about balance, form, orchestration and sound colours. Had he
been a visual artist, one would admire how wonderfully he could
draw, rather than just splash paint on a canvas. I think some
of his best works should continue to keep a foothold in the repertoire."
As well as two Juno awards, three senior fellowships from the
Canada Council and a Golden Jubilee Medal, Prof.
MORAWETZ was
awarded the Orders of Ontario and Canada. Although he could speak
several languages, he never lost his heavy Czech accent.
Oskar MORAWETZ was born January 17, 1917, in Svetla nad Sazavou,
Czechoslovakia, the second
son of four children of a secular
Jewish couple, Richard and Frida
(GLASER)
MORAWETZ.
His father
made his living running jute factories that had been founded
by his grandfather. When Oskar was 3, the family moved to Upice,
a mill town in the foothills of the Sudeten mountains in western
Czechoslovakia, where Mr.
MORAWETZ and his older brother owned
a jute factory, although they continued to spend their summers
at the ancestral family estate in Svetla. As a child, Oskar loved
building blocks, playing the piano and listening to music. When
he was 10, his father moved the family to Prague so that the
children could attend high school. They lived in a large apartment
in the centre of Prague close to theatres and coffee houses and
enjoyed an affluent, cultured lifestyle, complete with skiing
vacations at Christmas and Easter.
By 1932, Mr.
MORAWETZ was president of the International Cotton
Congress, and Oskar was studying piano and theory at the Prague
conservatoire under Karel Hoffmeister and Jaroslav Kricka, in
addition to his academic classes. Fascinated by music, Oskar
was barely interested in other subjects and did poorly in school
despite extra tutoring. He graduated in 1935 and then suffered
such a severe nervous breakdown (exacerbated by a fear that his
fingers would lose the ability to play the piano) that his parents
took him to Vienna to see a psychiatrist, who treated him for
several weeks before the overwhelming sadness lifted.
Oskar had such an acutely developed ability to sight-read orchestral
scores that George Szell recommended him for a position as assistant
conductor of the Prague Opera. Despite his longing to become
a musician, he never questioned his father's wish that he take
forestry at university. In 1937, two years after he began studying
forestry, he finally won his father's permission to move to Vienna
to study piano. A year later, after he watched Adolf Hitler parade
through the streets of Vienna, the anti-Semitism he had already
endured increased dramatically and, following a run-in with the
Gestapo, he headed home to Prague.
That September, England and France signed the Munich Agreement,
giving Germany the Sudetenland, the sections of Czechoslovakia
that were heavily populated with Germans and contained most of
the country's fortifications. Mr.
MORAWETZ sent Oskar to Paris,
ostensibly to study music, but really to get him out of the country,
and sent his son John and daughter Sonja to England. On March 15,
1939, Hitler marched his troops into Prague, slept in the Royal
Castle and boasted that Czechoslovakia had ceased to exist. Mr.
MORAWETZ
was doubly marked because of his Friendship with political leaders
Jan Masaryk and Edward Benes. Nevertheless, he managed to acquire
exit permits for himself and his wife and fled to England, then
sailed for Canada, arriving in September of 1939.
Oskar, thinking he was safe in Paris, where he was enjoying his
musical life immensely, had declined to accompany his parents.
But he was treated like an enemy alien and his bank account was
frozen. After a series of harrowing near-arrests, he acquired
an exit visit that took him from France to Italy by way of Switzerland,
where he was helped by a former business associate of his father.
In March of 1940, three months before the fall of France, he
flew from Rome to the Canary Islands and boarded a ship sailing
to the Dominican Republic. From there, he set off for Canada,
landing on June 17, 1940. His brother Herbert and sister Sonja
had come here in December of 1939; his brother John and his bride
Maureen arrived after the war in November of 1946. The family
was finally safely reunited in Toronto, although many of their
relatives had been murdered in concentration camps. By then,
Oskar, who had been rejected for military service because a chest
X-ray had revealed dormant tuberculosis cells, had become a naturalized
Canadian citizen.
From afar, Oskar had seen Canada as a cultural backwater, but
it actually provided him with a nurturing artistic environment.
He lived with his parents and dedicated himself to studying music.
He graduated with a bachelor's degree in music (1944) and a doctorate
in composition (1953) from the University of Toronto, studying
under Leo SMITH and Albert
GUERRERO -- two of his fellow piano
students were Mr.
GOULD and John Beckwith. Initially, he wanted
to be a pianist, but because he had to write an original composition
to complete the prerequisites for his bachelor's degree, he forced
himself to write a fugue a week.
"He was very frustrated at first," said his daughter Claudia,
"but after writing 40 or 50 of them, he found them easier to
do." His graduate composition was his first string quartet, Opus 1,
and it won a Composers, Authors, and Publishers Association of
Canada award. In 1946, he began teaching at the Royal Conservatory
of Music, was appointed to the faculty of the University of Toronto
as an assistant professor six years later, where he continued
to teach composition and harmony for the next three decades.
On June 7, 1958, at the age of 40, he married Ruth
SHIPMAN, a
pianist and piano teacher from London, Ontario, in a ceremony
at Bloor Street United Church in Toronto. (Mr.
GOULD played the
organ.) The
MORAWETZes settled in a house in Forest Hill, with
him occupying an upstairs room furnished with a Heintzman piano
and a large oak desk, where he composed music. There was a second
piano in the living room, a Steinway grand, that Prof.
MORAWETZ
played occasionally, but it was used much more frequently by
his wife, who gave music lessons there. Her office, aside from
the kitchen, was in the basement.
Two years after his wedding, Prof.
MORAWETZ won the first of
three Senior Arts Fellowships from the Canada Council, which
gave the young couple the opportunity to travel in Europe, attending
concerts and making connections with musicians and, coincidentally,
conceiving Claudia, their first child (now a computer scientist)
who was born in 1962. Their son Richard (an economist) followed
in 1966.
About this time, Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich asked
Prof. MORAWETZ to compose a work for cello and orchestra. He
said later that he was having trouble finding the inspiration
to write a note until he watched the "slow, sad and very moving"
funeral procession for Martin Luther King in Atlanta, three days
after the civil-rights leader's assassination on April 4, 1968.
When he saw the inscription on Rev. King's gravestone, taken
from his favourite spiritual - "Free at last, thank God Almighty
I am free at last!" - he resolved to write a work dedicated to
Rev. King's memory: "I saw clearly in front of me the form, content
and orchestration of my composition." Memorial to Martin Luther
King was first performed by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra in
Another death, long after the fact, inspired another of his memorable
musical eulogies. In a radio interview in 1990, Prof.
MORAWETZ
spoke about the inspiration for From the Diary of Anne Frank
(1970), explaining that he hadn't read the diary when it was
published in the early 1950s because it reminded him too painfully
of the fate of so many of his Friends and family members. When
he read it in 1968, he was haunted by the entry in which Anne
writes about her friend Hanneli Goslar ("Lies Goosens" in the
published diary), who was arrested and sent to a concentration
camp while the Frank family was in hiding in Amsterdam. The two
girls met up again briefly in Bergen-Belsen in the last months
of the war. "I still think it's the most moving passage of the
whole book… [it] is nothing else but a prayer for the survival
of her friend Lies," Prof.
MORAWETZ once said. Soprano Lois Marshall
premiered the work with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in May
of 1970.
Prof. MORAWETZ's marriage was not a harmonious one. The couple
separated in 1982 and divorced two years later. At 67, Prof.
MORAWETZ
found himself not only divorced, but retired from his teaching
job at the U of T. After some initial dilemmas about housekeeping,
he settled happily into a busy lifestyle of composing, giving
guest lectures and travelling for most of the next decade. He
gave his last performance as a pianist in March, 1992. Two years
later, the Elmer Iseler Singers sang one of his last major commissions,
Prayer for Freedom, at the inaugural concert in the North York
Performing Arts Centre. The work, which was commissioned by the
Canada Council, draws on two anti-slavery poems written by 19th-century
African-American writer Frances E.W. Harper, reflects Prof.
MORAWETZ's
thematic commitment to human rights and social justice.
The following year, in May of 1995, he went back to Prague, the
city he had fled nearly 60 years earlier. He fell into a depression
that was compounded by his failing eyesight and the arthritis
that stiffened his fingers and made it difficult for him to play
the piano. The breakdown may have been a reverberation of the
severe depression he suffered as a teenager, with both episodes
linked by a fear of being cut off from his music. He was never
able to compose music again.
Six years later, he fell and hit his head, suffering brain damage
that severely affected his memory and his ability to express
himself. In 2002, after being diagnosed with Parkinson's syndrome,
he moved into a retirement home in Toronto. Several symphony
orchestras in Canadian cities, including Toronto, Edmonton and
Ottawa played concerts of his works in January to celebrate his
90th birthday, and the University of Toronto music faculty organized
a tribute to the man and the musician.
Oskar MORAWETZ was born on January 17, 1917, in Svetla nad Sazavou,
Czechoslovakia. He died in his sleep at Leaside Retirement Residence
in Toronto on June 13, 2007, of complications from Parkinson's
syndrome. He was 90. He is survived by two children, two grandchildren
and extended family. There will be a memorial service on June 28
at 7 p.m. in Walter Hall at the U of T's Edward Johnson building.

Will also be sadly missed by his
many great nieces and nephews. Norman graduated from the University
of Toronto with a Bachelor of Commerce and Finance in 1935. During
World War 2, he served as artillery lieutenant in the 14th Field
Regiment, which was instrumental in the freedom of Holland. He
became President of Cheeseborough Ponds, and, subsequently President
of C.C.T.F.A. After his retirement in 1983, he volunteered for
a number of years as Treasurer of Hospital Special Needs. Norman
led a very active life. He loved to travel, was a patron of the
arts, was a sports enthusiast and had an interest in wildlife,
particularly birds and racoons, whom he fed for 44 years in his
backyard on Revcoe Drive. He will be dearly missed, and forever
remembered. At Norman's request, there will be no service. In
his honour, donations to his favourite charity, the Alzheimer
Society of Ontario (in memory of his wife Marion) would be greatly
appreciated. Condolences - www.rskane.ca R.S. Kane 416-221-1159

WRIGHT,
Don
Born in Alliston, May 24, 1924, Don
WRIGHT was the first child
of Sydney and Beatrice
WRIGHT (née
GALLAUGHER.) At the age of
11 his mother died leaving five children. Don initially lived
with his grandparents then moved to Edgar to live with his aunt
and uncle, Hilda and Gordon
BIDWELL.
While living on the farm
he discovered he had an aptitude for mechanics. He left the farm
in 1939 at the age of 15 to live in Collingwood with his father
and stepmother. At the same time Don's brother Harold moved from
Collingwood to the Bidwell farm. Don received an early license
to drive and started as an apprentice mechanic at Scheffer Motors.
He then moved to Kelly Motors to continue his apprenticeship
until he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942. He served
as an aero engine mechanic in Quebec for the duration. After
the war he returned to Collingwood and Kelly Motors. He successfully
wrote the apprenticeship examinations and became a licensed mechanic
September 2, 1946. Don's good friend, Andy
PLATER, encouraged
a relationship between his sister Jean and Don. The two fell
in love and were married July 28, 1949. They moved into 159 Fourth
Street West which is the family home to this day. Don and Jean
decided to start their own business and
on Halloween night, 1952
they opened a White Rose service station on Hurontario which
is now The Candy Factory building. Due to Don's hard work the
service station soon prospered and he expanded into car sales,
becoming an American Motors dealer. In March 1953 Jean and Don
had their first daughter, Nancy. In September 1955 their second
daughter, Donna was born and
in July 1959 their third daughter,
Susan was born. Don was very proud of his daughters; he named
his boat 'The Three Daughters'. The following decades were filled
with work, family and his antique car collection. During a trip
to England in 1988 Don experienced some heart difficulties and
in 1989 he suffered a heart attack. After a period of recovery
he returned to his very active life but at his doctor's suggestion,
he decided to retire. The family business was taken over by Nancy
and her husband, Glenn
GOURLIE.
After
Retirement he continued
to use his talents by creating beautiful woodwork and stained
glass. He also continued to enjoy his antique cars and was regularly
seen driving the mayor in Collingwood parades as well as many
wedding celebrations. He was active on the First Baptist Church
Property Board and enjoyed using his skills to repair the church
whenever possible. During this time he also had the opportunity
to love and enjoy his five grandchildren. He continued to enjoy
an active life until his sudden passing December 21, 2006. Don's
family would like to thank the medical staff, funeral home and
all the many Friends and relatives who have shown their appreciation
for Don and support for his family.
