Neighbours mourn 'super-friendly guy'
While out delivering Christmas cards, Hunter
BROWN, 74, was killed
in apparent random attack, leaving his Friends and family in
shock
By Caroline
ALPHONSO,
Page A3
Kitchener, Ontario -- Hunter
BROWN, 74, set out on a cold Saturday
afternoon, all bundled up, on what had become his annual Christmas
ritual of hand-delivering cards to his neighbours. Recipients
would often discover a picture of his three grandchildren tucked
inside their cards.
The affluent neighbourhood in Kitchener has a mix of young families
and elderly couples who have lived there for decades. Christmas
decorations were strung along front porches and spilled onto
the front yards.
This year, however, Mr.
BROWN didn't get very far in his Christmas-card
delivery. He had just started to make his first drop-off when
a man struck him with an "edged weapon" and left him to die in
the next-door neighbour's driveway, police say. A pile of undelivered
cards was found on the ground next to him. Doctors pronounced
Mr. BROWN dead in hospital.
Police say the attack was unprovoked and are looking for a man
in his 20s who fled the quiet neighbourhood on foot wearing a
long black trench coat and a black tuque with red lines.
"It's a difficult case," said Staff Sergeant Adrian
DARMON of
the Waterloo Regional Police. "This is quite a close community."
Yellow tape surrounded the
BROWN home and neighbouring houses
yesterday as police scoured the area for clues.
Mr. BROWN and his wife, Beverley, lived in their two-storey home
for more than 30 years. A Christmas tree was lit up in the front
window last night. The killing of Mr.
BROWN, a father of two,
has shocked family and neighbours.
Mr. BROWN, a retired regional manager for Bell, was described
as a man who loved his grandchildren, and rarely missed a hockey
or football practice, or a musical recital. He spent his summers
at the family cottage in Muskoka, and had often invited neighbours
to vacation there.
He and his wife would have celebrated their 50th anniversary
in March. The couple had just started taking lessons in ballroom
dancing.
"Mom and Dad did everything together," Mr.
BROWN's son, Mike,
said yesterday. "He was elderly but in good health. We never
expected Hunter
BROWN to die this way. He was a nice man."
His sister, Sandra, added: "He was a gentle man. He just had
so much left."
Neighbour Lois
HOGG remembers Mr.
BROWN singing Christmas carols
at her home on December 8 when she and her husband invited the
neighbourhood over for a holiday celebration.
"It was a happy experience and we were so glad they were here,"
Ms. HOGG said.
Matthew ENGELMANN, 24, who lives next door to the
BROWNs, said
his kitchen counter was filled yesterday with food dropped off
by neighbours for the victim's family. Mr.
ENGELMANN saw Mr.
BROWN
as a grandfather. He and his family would spend a few days at
the BROWN cottage almost every summer.
"He was just a super-friendly guy. You couldn't leave your house
and have Hunter see you and not say 'hello' or 'hi,' " he said.
The ENGELMANN family has known Mr.
BROWN and his wife for 27 years.
Mr. ENGELMANN's father, Dieter, said he was still in disbelief
over what happened. Neighbours came out when they saw police
cruisers and an ambulance.
"It's such a sad situation. Nothing warrants this. Nothing at
all," he said. "This guy wouldn't hurt a fly."
Police said yesterday autopsy results weren't complete as yet,
but they believe a weapon with some of kind of sharp edge was
used in the attack.
Neighbours say it was unlikely that the attack was personally
motivated.
Mark MEDENSKY, who took care of the
BROWN home when the family
went on vacation, said many on the street are looking for answers.
"He was sweet, quiet. He always had something nice to say about
you. Everyone is just in shock. I'm angry about what happened."

War vet
TOOGOOD always on the move
By Amanda ROBINSON,
SUN
MEDIA, Sun., August 19, 2007
William TOOGOOD was always on the move.
After lying about his age to enlist at 15, he was a motorcycle
messenger during the Second World War, zipping around some of
the bloodiest areas of Europe where Canadians fought.
In civilian life, the Saint Thomas man had at least half a dozen
jobs, most spent behind a wheel.
He delivered milk and bread in an era when those goods were delivered
to customers' homes.
He drove a taxi, worked on the railroad and was a travelling
salesperson for such things as vacuums and industrial supplies.
About 1980, at 56, he revved up a new career selling cars, a
tough time in the industry as fuel-stingy Japanese imports muscled
into a North American market dominated by gas guzzlers.
"He did well -- a lot of people liked him," said his eldest son,
Norman TOOGOOD of Saint Thomas.
He said his father prospered selling vehicles for Ford dealers,
Fearn and Talbot, in Saint Thomas. "He was a pretty good-looking
guy. He dressed well, and a lot of guys thought he was a straight
shooter," his son said.
TOOGOOD, who had battled Alzheimer's for years, died of emphysema
August 10 at London's Parkwood Hospital. He was 83.
Born in Saint Thomas in 1924,
TOOGOOD was the
son of a First World
War veteran badly injured in the fighting, making it difficult
for him to work.
The family, said Norman
TOOGOOD, was "pretty destitute."
Enlisting in 1939 was probably his father's response to the grim
economic times the Depression had brought, his son said.
"When he was young, he just wanted to earn money."
TOOGOOD joined the Elgin Regiment as a reservist. He was deployed
the next year as a regular soldier, serving until 1946.
He rejoined the military in the Cold War, in 1954, served nearly
20 years and retired a sergeant.
His most harrowing experiences came during the Second World War.
"He never wanted to talk about it," his son said. "It came out
later in the years that he rode a motorcycle, but he never talked
about firing a gun."
TOOGOOD served in Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and
Germany.
Messengers were often targets for snipers, the documents they
carried valuable to enemies.
"In some cases, he was right on the front lines in enemy fire"
taking messages from post to post, his son said. "He said one
time in Sicily he was in an abandoned farmhouse that got shelled.
I think there it was probably pretty scary."
TOOGOOD returned to Europe for the 50th-anniversary celebrations
of D-Day. At home, he took part in many Remembrance Day ceremonies,
sometimes serving as parade marshal in Saint Thomas.
Predeceased by his wife
June,
TOOGOOD is survived by three children,
grandchildren, great-grandchildren and four siblings.
"I'm very proud of the contributions that he made," said
TOOGOOD's
grand_son, Cory
WHITEHEAD, 24. "I'm just going to miss spending
time with him… he was really special to me."
