LEFEBURE,
John
Victor
Jock, our beloved patriarch, died peacefully at home on November 28,
2007 at the age of 86. He was predeceased by his wife Barbara
and his sister Jill
JANSEN of the United Kingdom. He is survived
by his children: David (Nan
EDMISON,)
Jon
(Marlene
HAYES,) Todd
(Susan HARRISON) and Deborah (Rob
KURLUK;) his grandchildren:
Sarah (David
WARRINER,)
John
(Gillian
BISHOP,) Michael, Julia,
Sean, Claire, Will, Emma and Hayden; step grandchildren Justin
and Andrea; and his sister Judith
LYWOOD of Bath, United Kingdom.
Jock was born in the Golders Green area of London on November 18,
1921. He graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in
Civil Engineering during World War 2, and immediately joined
the Royal Air Force. In between flying Wellingtons, he was smitten
with Barbara 'Bill'
WHATLEY and married her on October 12, 1946.
Jock and Bill set out to start a new life in Canada in 1948.
He worked as an engineer with Alcan in Kingston and Montreal,
and then moved to Stelco in Hamilton, where he worked in Sales
Engineering until his retirement. Jock and Bill enjoyed retirement
years both in Ontario and then in Victoria, British Columbia
until her death in 1997. Jock then started a new chapter in his
life, turning his energies to community service. He arranged
for thousands of used tennis balls to be shipped to poor children
abroad. While dealing with loss of eyesight, he became an innovator,
champion and spokesperson for people with low vision. He lived
life fully to the end, with the help of his dear friend Barbara
Riggs and his family. We will all miss his zest for life, sense
of adventure and endless curiosity. The times spent at the cottage
on Lake of Bays, at the house on Sanibel Island and more recently
at the cottage on Salt Spring Island will stand out in memory,
as will images of Jock the master sailor and woodworker. In lieu
of flowers, the family asks for donations to the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind or a charity of your choice. A Celebration
of Jock's Life will be held for family and Friends on Saturday,
December 29 at the First Memorial Chapel at 4725 Falaise Drive,
Victoria at 2 p.m. followed by a reception at Jock's home. Condolences
may be sent to lefebure@shaw.ca.

OXFORD,
Kay
Frances
Clare (née
DAVIDOVICH)
Mother, wife, teacher, college administrator, best friend to
many. Born April 12, 1945, in London, England. Died February 8
of cancer in Toronto, aged 61.
By Dianne LOCOCO, Lynne
KURYLO and Hilde
ZIMMER and Earle
OXFORD,
Page L6
'I'm the luckiest person in the world." Days after being told
that her cancer was inoperable, Kay, on impulse, took off to
London for a long weekend. She was the Energizer Bunny, on the
hop the whole time.
Kay's affinity for England was engendered by her English mother,
Phyllis NASH.
Kay's tenacity was engendered by her father, Stephen
DAVIDOVICH.
Stephen was a Canadian army officer in wartime London,
where he met and married Phyllis.
"A wisp of air in a breeze," was how her father described Kay.
She flitted from one social engagement to another, gracing hundreds
of Friends with warmth, mirth and gifts of the Bruce Peninsula
pottery she so loved.
How Kay shoehorned daily coffees, lunches, dinners with Friends
and chats with shop clerks, bus drivers and students into her
rigorous schedule as an administrator at George Brown College
is a study in time management. She worked tirelessly for more
than 40 years to facilitate access to education for new Canadians.
Kay's many years of volunteer work reflect her varied interests.
A long-time student of Canadian history and heritage, she was
a member of and volunteer at the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse museum.
Patients in the palliative care unit at Saint Michael's Hospital
loved Kay's natural warmth and caring. Her spirit will live on
in the lively annual neighbourhood parties that she instigated.
Kay was a saint with a broad swath of wicked humour painted up
her steel spine. After her first operation, in 2003, I called
her husband, Earle, who said, "Kay's fine." He meant that he
hoped Kay would be okay, so I thought Kay was fine and sent flowers
with a cocky note: "Start eating. Get off the Calista Flockhart
I.V. diet." Kay telephoned. "You don't know they removed 2/3
of my stomach, do you?" I didn't. "I have cancer." I didn't know
that either. "The nurses are upset with you." Kay thought it
was hilarious. For the next 3½ years, she would tease me about
my faux pas and delight in my squirming.
The last time I saw Kay, her health was fading quickly. She was
weak and couldn't talk for long. But she spoke of her unbridled
love for and pride in her son, John Daniel. She spoke of how
wonderfully caring Earle was and the "lovely" talks they were
sharing. She whispered, "I'm the luckiest person in the world."
The day before Valentine's Day, St. Philip's Anglican Church
was packed. It was a testament not to Kay's luck, but to her
heart.
Kay's friend Dianne
