Wasaga man stabbed, friend faces murder charge
Twenty-nine year old Roger
HALVORSON was stabbed in the upper
body before being found outside the Riverboat Resort Saturday,
police say.
And a 23-year-old Wasaga Beach man accused of second-degree murder
in connection with his death was set to appear in a Barrie courtroom
Thursday.
Police responded to a 911 call Saturday morning made by Riverboat
Resort manager Nick
SINGH.
SINGH said he found
HALVORSON laying in the parking lot of the
motel located at 280 River Rd. E. at 8 a.m.
He said in an interview Tuesday, that at first he thought
HALVORSON
had passed out.
"He was transported to hospital and later passed away as a result
of the injury," said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Mark Kinney.
According to
SINGH,
HALVORSON was staying temporarily at the
Riverboat. He had been there only a few days and was renting
by the week. The motel is known for having long-term tenants.
SINGH said
HALVORSON and friend Noah
COUTTS, also of Wasaga Beach,
went out the night before and that they had been drinking. They
returned sometime Saturday morning.
It was COUTTS, 23, who was later charged with second-degree murder.
SINGH said police cleared the scene Monday.
Ontario Provincial Police Criminal Investigation Branch Detective
Inspector Dave
QUIGLEY is leading the investigation into
HALVORSON's
death.
Police are not releasing many details about the crime or an autopsy
conducted Sunday.
The same parking lot was the scene of the October 20, 2002 beating
death of 20-year-old Rahim
PREBTANI.
Michael
Gordon
McCARROLL
was found guilty of second-degree murder and is serving a life
sentence for the death of
PREBTANI.
His co-accused, James Luke
SMITH, pleaded guilty to manslaughter
and was sentenced to two years less a day.

McNEE,
John
Jay
(March 01, 1963-December 03, 2007)
Jay died of cancer peacefully at home surrounded by the clan.
Predeceased by his Grandad and Nanu McNee; mother-in-law Fay
RYAN, and Grandad and Noni Davies, Jay leaves to remember him
with deep love his Mom Doranne, Dad John, brothers Warren (Sabrina
and children Danielle, Chloe and Oliver), Andrew (Karen), sister
Darcie, father-in-law Jim
RYAN
(Sydney,) brother-in-law Kelly
RYAN
(Shelley,
Caitlin,
Justin and Kieran,) sister-in-law Shay
PRESCOTT
(Chris,
Taylor and Spenser) and most especially his
sons Connor and Declan and wife Shelagh. Jay grew up in Vancouver,
spending many happy summers in the Gulf Islands and winters at
Whistler with his family and Friends. Graduating from University
Hill Secondary, Jay went on to pursue geochemistry at University
of British Columbia, graduating with a Doctorate degree in 1997.
During his often-joked about decade at University of British
Columbia, Jay met and married Shelagh, became a Dad to Connor
(16) and Declan (13) and made many deep Friendships with his
lab and beer garden mates. While still writing his thesis, Jay
began his professional career as an environmental consultant,
later forming Lorax Environmental Services with partners David
Flather, Ali Sahami, and Tom Pederson in 1996. The values Jay
lived by were reflected in all his business relationships, and
guided how he and his partners built the company. Jay had a passion
for music, and looked forward to Friday jam sessions at Lorax,
which were often a mix of jazz/blues riffs and debate on obscure
scientific notions. Jay had a unique ability to create music
compilations, and took to carrying his Ipod to all parties because
he was so often requested to 'plug in and play'. Jay's approach
to life, with its vagaries of opportunities and challenges, was
to meet everything with positive acceptance. Jay cared deeply
and passionately for his family and Friends and graced us with
his humour, intellect, and thoughtful actions. He was a personal
confidante to many and was known for his non-judgemental advice
and counsel. His most important roles were as Dad to the boys
and husband to Shelagh, and his preferred place to be was anywhere
they were. A celebration of Jay's life will take place on Thursday,
December 13th at the Terminal City Club from 3: 00-5:00 p.m. Please
contact Lorax Environmental at 604-688-7173 to RSVP. Special
acknowledgments and deep gratitude to Doctor Chris Hodgson who cared
for Jay throughout the last 2½ years and palliative nurses Dyann
Russell, Nancy Purchall and Mark Demers who ensured he was comfortable
and supported. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate
cards and letters of memories of Jay for his sons to keep, or
donations in his name to the Vancouver Home Hospice Program,
c/o Pacific Spirit Community Health Centre, 2110 West 43rd Avenue,
Vancouver, British Columbia V6M 2E1.

STALKER,
Robert
With courage and dignity, Bob
STALKER died at the age of 74 on
November 25, 2007 in the embrace of his wife and daughters. He
will be greatly missed by his wife Jacqueline, his daughters
Patti GRAY/GREY,
Lynn
PRESTON, and Bobbi
ÉTHIER, their spouses, Bob
BANKOSKY,
Brian
PRESTON, and Mike
ÉTHIER, his grand_sons Jamie
GRAY/GREY,
Jeremy
GRAY/GREY and Paul
DESCHAMBAULT, his brothers Stan and
George and members of his extended family. Robert
STALKER was
born in 1933 in Broughty Ferry and spent his childhood in Scotland.
At the age of 14, he boarded the R.M.S. Aquitania with his family
and headed for Pier 21 in Halifax. Like other immigrants to Canada
after the second world war, Robert and his family had to spend
their first few years on a farm. As soon as possible, however,
his parents opened their own corner grocery store in Midland,
Ontario and Bob himself escaped farming by joining the Air Force.
At the age of 16, Bob met Jacqueline
DAOUST at a high school
graduation dance. They dated and married in Ottawa two years
later after he was established in the Air Force and she had graduated
from teacher training at Ottawa University. Their 55 years of
marriage were filled with joy and happiness plus a fair bit of
challenge and accommodation due to Air Force transfers which
had the family living in eighteen different homes in Canada,
the U.S., and Europe during Bob's thirty years in the service.
Finally settling in Winnipeg by choice, Major
STALKER retired
from the Air Force in 1980, took Easter weekend off, and then
began a second career with the Federal Government. His next and
last retirement in 1984 enabled him to pursue new challenges.
He continued running or walking five miles a day and also, through
diligent hard work and persistence, became a vintner 'extraordinaire'
which his family and Friends wholeheartedly appreciated. Retirement
enjoyment increased with the 1993 purchase of a villa in Florida
and his wife's retirement in 1995. The villa, named Palybo after
their children Pat, Lynn, and Bobbi, was the centre of activity
for all of the extended family and Friends. This sanctuary from
cold Canadian winters became a very special place where everyone
was welcome. Bob loved the ocean, the outdoors, classical music,
walking along the beach, and being with his family, including
visiting animal members. He was an avid reader and always had
an Economist at hand and a history book close by. After retiring
from the service, he also volunteered for political candidates
that he believed in and worked for political parties he supported.
Despite annual physical checkups throughout his life, prostate
cancer was only diagnosed in December 2005. Bob
STALKER will
be greatly missed not only by his family but also by all of those
who knew him. The family extends sincere thanks to Doctor Bennett
at the Health Action Centre, the staff at Cancer Care Manitoba,
and especially to each and every caring dedicated staff member
of 3 East Palliative Care wing at Riverview Health Centre. Cremation
has taken place and, according to his wishes, no service is being
held at this time. As an expression of sympathy, donations may
be made to Cancer Care Manitoba or to 3 East Palliative Care,
Riverview Health Centre Foundation, Morley Avenue, Winnipeg R3L 2P4.

of the many Stapleton/Preston relatives spread throughout the
world. As corporate lawyer (having graduated from Osgoode Hall
in 1950), Director of Personnel and chief labour contract negotiator
for General Motors of Canada over a 29 year career, A.G. was
the youngest director in the company's history. His was the voice
of reason - the calm amidst many a storm during one of the most
challenging eras in the United Auto Workers/General Motors contract
evolution. Many said that Arn's unique ability to compartmentalize
complicated concepts won over both union foes and management
associates alike. He was able to maintain composure by utilizing
a wonderful sense of humour centered around a quick wit and well
placed one-liners. A man of few words, when he spoke, people
listened. An English scholar (Words Are Important!), a history
and travel buff, a Wagnerian connoisseur, a lover of opera and
Shakespeare and one heck of a bridge and chess player, Arn was
a 50+ year subscriber to the Stratford Festival (his second most
favorite place after the family cottage at Inverhuron Beach).
Always willing to give his ample talents to worthy causes, Arn
served as Chairman and long time director of the Oshawa General
Hospital, board member of both St. Andrew's Church in Oshawa
and First-St. Andrew's United Church in London, and was a member
in standing of the Law Society of Canada. In the words of his
beloved Shakespeare -"to thine own self be true". A celebration

TAILOR/TAYLOR,) and Arn (Peggy.) Grandchildren
Sarah, John, Todd, Marley, Preston and Katie will sorely miss
their Poppa. Uncle Arn leaves giant shoes to fill in the lives
of the many Stapleton/Preston relatives spread throughout the
world. As corporate lawyer (having graduated from Osgoode Hall
in 1950), Director of Personnel and chief labour contract negotiator
for General Motors of Canada over a 29 year career, A.G. was
the youngest director in the company's history. His was the voice
of reason - the calm amidst many a storm during one of the most
challenging eras in the United Auto Workers/General Motors contract
evolution. Many said that Arn's unique ability to compartmentalize
complicated concepts won over both union foes and management
associates alike. He was able to maintain composure by utilizing
a wonderful sense of humour centered around a quick wit and well
placed one-liners. A man of few words, when he spoke, people
listened. An English scholar (Words Are Important!), a history
and travel buff, a Wagnerian connoisseur, a lover of opera and
Shakespeare and one heck of a bridge and chess player, Arn was
a 50+ year subscriber to the Stratford Festival (his second most
favorite place after the family cottage at Inverhuron Beach).
Always willing to give his ample talents to worthy causes, Arn
served as Chairman and long time director of the Oshawa General
Hospital, board member of both St. Andrew's Church in Oshawa
and First-St. Andrew's United Church in London, and was a member
in standing of the Law Society of Canada. In the words of his
beloved Shakespeare -"to thine own self be true". A celebration
of Arn's life will be held at First-St. Andrew's United Church,
350 Queens Avenue at Waterloo, London on Saturday, January 5
at 1: 00 p.m. Reception to follow. Cremation and Spring interment
at Avondale Cemetery, Stratford. Memorial contributions to the
Heart and Stroke Foundation, 633 Colborne Street, Suite 150,
London, Ontario N6B 2V3 would be gratefully appreciated.
