IVEY also a very respected businessperson
Former
London member of provincial parliament Dianne
CUNNINGHAM
says Beryl Ivey was 'a role model for many.'
By Joe BELANGER, Sun Media, Thurs., December 27, 2007
Beryl IVEY, whose philanthropy touched the lives of countless,
was also an astute London businessperson, her acumen admired
by many.
Accolades continued to pour in yesterday for the London icon
who died Christmas morning and will be buried in London tomorrow
her birthday -- following a private family service.
A memorial service will be held January 11 at Saint Paul's Cathedral
in London.
"Most of us know her as a business woman," said Dianne
CUNNINGHAM,
a former London member of provincial parliament, Ontario cabinet
minister and now director of the Lawrence National Centre for
Policy and Management at the Richard
IVEY
School of Business
at the University of Western Ontario.
"We were all involved in raising money and there was always a
business plan in place. She always asked the questions… She was
a role model for many of us."
CUNNINGHAM, who has known Beryl and Dick
IVEY for more than 30 years,
was devastated by the news of
IVEY's death three days before
her 83rd birthday after suffering a heart attack on Sunday.
"She taught us to ask questions, be generous and to always say
thank you," said
CUNNINGHAM. "
She was a great advisor for everybody,
who would give you her best ideas. Has London ever known a family
like this? No. I'm going to miss her very, very much."
Another
London icon, Don
SMITH, who founded Ellis-Don Ltd., Canada's
second-largest construction company, said he lost a "close friend."
SMITH said Beryl
IVEY, president of Beehive Investments Inc.,
sat on many boards, including corporations, but not just in an
honorary capacity.
"Her judgement certainly was respected," said
SMITH. "
She brought
to boards an intelligent, female point of view. She'll certainly
be missed."
Through her company Beehive,
IVEY contributed $1 million toward
a $9-million partnership fund for London's National Centre for
Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery.
Born Beryl
NURSE in 1924 in Chatham to a Canadian army lieutenant-colonel,
IVEY was a gifted high school athlete who received a full scholarship
to Brescia College at University of Western Ontario in 1943.
It was at school that she met Dick, whom she married in 1949,
becoming part of a wealthy family that co-founded the Empire
Brass Manufacturing Co., now known as Emco.
It was Dick's father, Richard G.
IVEY, who in 1947 incorporated
the Ivey Foundation that became such a big part of the couple's
lives.
Beryl IVEY is credited with the business-like approach to philanthropy
the family adopted in the 1970s. She and Dick passed along control
of the foundation to their four children in 1997.
Beryl and Dick
IVEY moved to Toronto from London 18 months ago
to be closer to their children. In June, Beryl was named to the
Order of Canada.
She is survived by her husband, Richard, four children, nine
grandchildren and a brother, Robert
NURSE.
It's estimated the
IVEYs donated about $150 million to philanthropy
over several decades.
While much is known about the
IVEYs volunteerism and philanthropy
toward education, medicine and the arts, not so well known is
their wide-ranging interest and support for the environment.
The World Wildlife Fund, the Nature Conservancy of Canada and
the Talbot Land Trust are but a few of the
IVEY's benefactors.
Judith RODGER, former chair of the London Community Foundation,
said Beryl and Dick
IVEY "had a sense of the importance of protecting
biodiversity.
"If you ever needed good, sensible advice, Beryl was a good person
to turn to," said
RODGER.
"She was very astute and cared deeply about the environment.
And she had a real business sense."
John KIME, former chief executive of the London Economic Development
Corp., said the
IVEYs didn't give blindly.
"She put discipline into managing their philanthropy," he said.
"They supported things they felt were truly worthwhile. They
did wonderful research and then backed those causes or projects
strongly, with commitment. She was an extraordinary person in
terms of her commitment to this community. It's a huge loss."
In lieu of flowers, the family asks memorial donations be made
to Foundation Western at University of Western Ontario or the
London Community Foundation. Online condolences may be posted

KIMMINS,
Warwick
Charles
Age 66 of Halifax, Nova Scotia passed away peacefully at home
on August 5, 2007. Warwick was born in London, England, son of
the late Charles Horace
KIMMINS and is survived by his mother
Eileen May
KIMMINS of Hounslow, Middlesex, London, England, his
wife Ruth
KIMMINS, children Eliot and Sarah and grand_son Eric.
Warwick was a dedicated scientist and academic who graduated
with a Ph. D. in Biology from the University of London in 1965.
Warwick was appointed as a professor of Biology at Dalhousie
University in Halifax, Nova Scotia the same year. As a Professor,
he is remembered for his enthusiasm, humour and ability to motivate
students in areas of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. From
1981 until 1990, he served as Chair of the Biology Department,
then as Dean of the Faculty of Science from 1995 until 2000 and
as Acting Vice-President from 1997-1998. After leaving Dalhousie
University, Warwick became a co-founder in the successful Halifax
Biotechnology company Immunovaccine Technologies for which he
served as President and Chief Executive Officer from 2001-2006,
then recently as Chairman on the Board of Directors. It was in
these later years of scientific research by Warwick and colleagues
that led to the development of a vaccine for marine mammals,
then the possibility of a vaccine platform with wide reaching
health benefits for treatment of human diseases such as cancer
and infectious diseases. As a Father he was an involved and loving
parent, coaching soccer, cross country running, and a longtime
Cub and Scout leader. Warwick was a skilled sportsman and enjoyed
spending his downtime with family and Friends sailing in the
waters surrounding Halifax, playing tennis, skiing, running and
golfing. He enjoyed travelling with family and Friends to Europe
for hiking and skiing holidays. In recent years, he experienced
a return to the faith of his youth which was a source of support,
comfort and strength as he struggled with cancer. Funeral Mass
