Franz
Died peacefully at home, in the early morning on September 26th,
2007, after a courageous year-long battle with cancer. At his
side were his wife of 38 years, Regula (Reggie) and his two sons,
Marco with wife Linda, and Oliver with fiancé Keaton. Proud grandfather

who will continue the Swiss family name in Canada. Grieving back
in Switzerland are his siblings and their families; brother Walter,
sisters Margaret and Anne-Marie with husbands Heiner and Jürg,
sister-in-law Sylvana and her daughters Ursina and Anne-Rachel.
Tony's active life was filled with the satisfaction of working
on his home near High Park and his cottage on Georgian Bay, where
he enjoyed fishing and boating. Tony took much pleasure in ski
trips with his family and helicopter skiing with his colleagues.
On the Lake of Zurich, he learned to sail and continued this
activity in Canada sailing out of both the Toronto Sailing and
Canoe Club and the National Yacht Club. In Canada he developed
a love of new sports. He played hockey and watched it as a fan
of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Another new sport was curling, which
he played as a member of the High Park Club. Professionally,
he served as president and founder of Elevator Components Inc.
located in Mississauga, Ontario, as member of both the Canadian
Elevator Contractors Association and the National Association
of Elevator Contractors. Tony was very active in the local Swiss

KOEHLER,
Harold
Peter
At the age of 83, on November 3, 2007, in London, Ontario, of
complications arising from heart failure. Survived by his loving
wife of 60 years, Dorothy Margaret
(NOTLEY,) his children Marlene
(Dan MILLIGAN) of Ottawa, Norman (Cathy) of London, Susan (Ron
HENDERSON) of Smithville and Brian (Laurie
BORNE) of Richmond,
British Columbia, three granddaughters and two great-granddaughters.
Fondly remembered brother-in-law of Isabel
NOTLEY, formerly of
Toronto, and E.R. (Ted)
NOTLEY of Toronto, and uncle to many
nieces and nephews. Harold was raised on a farm in Huron County,
completed high school at Harbord Collegiate in Toronto, and obtained
his B.Sc. (Eng.) at the University of Toronto in 1948. As a mechanical
engineer, he worked initially for A.V. Roe, Orenda Engines and
Hawker Siddeley on the design of airplane engines, including
the Avro Arrow. (Airplanes had been his passion since childhood.)
He finished his "paid" career as a vibrations research engineer
at Ontario Hydro where he studied plant equipment problems at
nuclear energy plants. Harold's community contributions were
recognized by the Governor General of Canada in 1992 when he
was awarded the Commemorative Medal for the 125th Anniversary
of Confederation. Harold was involved in the fight to Save York
Downs - Earl Bales Park in the late 60s and served as a school
board trustee in North York (1972-1978), where his interests
included preserving small schools, special needs students, school
bus safety, and values education. He was a tireless and dedicated
worker in numerous community, peace and social justice organizations
in Toronto and, from 1990 until June of this year, in London.
An inspiration and mentor to many in both his paid and unpaid
careers, Harold worked in a quiet, patient, often behind-the-scenes
way. The family wishes to thank the staff of 5A North at Parkwoods
Hospital for their very compassionate and capable care. Donations
may be made to that hospital, one of Harold's charities, or a
charity of your choice. A celebration of Harold's life will take
place at 2 p.m. on Saturday November 10th at the Unitarian Fellowship
of London, 557 Clarke Road. (A celebration will also be held
in Ottawa at a later date.) Photos, memory messages, or condolences
may be posted and viewed on-line, where his charities are also
listed, at http://Harold.Koehler.ca.

BROWN,
Hunter
It is with deepest sorrow and grief that we announce Hunter's
passing, on Saturday, December 15, 2007 at Kitchener, at the
age of 74. Beloved husband and best friend of Bev (née
SPARLING)
BROWN for 49 years. Proud and loving father of Sandra
BROWN of
Mississauga and Michael
BROWN and his wife
Beth of Waterloo.
Dear Grampa to Lauren and Andrew and Ian. Predeceased by his
parents Hugh and Sadie (née
HUNTER)
BROWN.
Hunter will also be
sadly missed by his beloved and faithful granddog Patches, and
grandcat Max. Hugh Hunter
BROWN was born in Toronto in 1933,
the son of Hugh and Sadie
BROWN. He attended and graduated from
Leaside High School, and then went on to attend Victoria College
of the University of Toronto for Commerce and Finance. He met
his wife Beverley, at Leaside United Church, playing badminton.
After graduating University, he started what would be a lifelong
career with the Bell Telephone Company of Canada. He married
Beverley in 1958, and had two children, Michael and Sandra. The
family lived in Toronto until 1973, when Hunter was transferred
to Kitchener to fill a District Manager's position for Bell Canada.
Hunter always strived to make his contributions to the communities
he lived in. Over the years, he took leadership roles in the
executive of the Rotary Club, the KWHSR, Bell Pioneers, and
his churches. He always wanted to help out, whether it be canvassing
for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, shoveling snow for an elderly
neighbour, or helping someone in need as he always put others'
needs ahead of his own. In their retirement, Hunter and Bev loved
to travel to Barbados and Europe and spend their summers at the
cottage, which was the centre of activity and such good times
for family and Friends. Hunter loved being with his grandchildren
he was involved with, and supported them in everything they did.
Hunter was a dedicated and devoted family man. We loved him so
very much and were so proud of him. We will dearly miss him.
Hunter's family will receive relatives and Friends on Thursday,
December 20th from 1-3: 30 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. at the Henry Walser
Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener, 519-749-8467.
Funeral service 1 p.m. on Friday, December 21, 2007 in the chapel
of the funeral home followed by a reception at the funeral home.
Pastor James
KOELLNER of Saint_Luke's Lutheran Church officiating.
Prayers of committal will take place at Parkview Cemetery Chapel
following the reception. Hunter loved flowers, or for those who
wish to make a kind donation in Hunter's honour, they may make
it to the Muskoka Branch of the Ontario Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals (Bracebridge). Visit www.henrywalser.com
for Hunter's memorial.
