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.
