FUCHS,
Doctor
Helmuth (1929-2007)
It is with great sadness that the family of Helmuth
FUCHS announces
his passing on August 27, 2007 after a long illness. Helmuth
died peacefully in Wiarton, Ontario with his wife Mercedes Chacin
de FUCHS at his side. He will be sorely missed by his sons Christian
and Mathias, his adopted sons and daughters Mariano
CONSENS,
Chris PRODANOS,
Veronica
TRUJILLO and Flavia
CONSENS, his grandchildren
Marie-Andrea, Sebastien, Alex, Clemmy, Nicole, Micaela, Marina
and Nicolas, his sister Gerda (Bauer) and brother Hans Peter
and also by his innumerable Friends and colleagues in every corner
of the world. Helmuth is predeceased by his parents Margerette
(POSS) and Johann and his siter Rose-Marie. Helmuth was born
in Vienna, Austria on February 6, 1929. A man of many talents,
he became a renowned and distinguished ethnologist, museum professional
and educator. In 1956 he received his PhD in Ethnology and Archaeology
from the University of Vienna, with a focus on indigenous cultures
of Latin America. One year later, in 1957, the President of Austria
presented him with that country's most prestigious scholarly
award, the Theodor Korner Prize. Soon after, he became Curator
of Ethnology in the Museum of Natural Science in Caracus, Venezuela
and served as that institution's Chief of the Ethnology and Archaeology
Departments from 1962 to 1967. During his last three years in
Caracus, he dedicated half of his time to serving as visiting
professor at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
In 1967 Helmuth was asked to join the staff of the Royal Ontario
Museum as Curator in the Ethnology Department. Here he continued
his valuable field research on Indian tribes of northern South
America, contributing greatly to the collection of artifacts
and publications of the Royal Ontario Museum. From 1975 to 1980
he served as Curator-in-Charge of the Ethnology Department with
tremendous energy and dedication. In the period that followed,
up to his retirement from the museum in 1994, Helmuth
FUCHS acted
as a guest professor in some ten universities in Mexico, Peru,
Germany, Austria, Canada and U.S.A. He served on important committees,
including two terms on the Executive Board of the United Nations
(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)
International Committee on Ethnology Museums. After his retirement
he continued his museum work with Canadian Executive Service
Overseas donating his considerable skills, experience and knowledge
to various institutions and agencies throughout the world. Helmuth
passed his last years at his beloved retreat at Colpoy's Bay.
He took great pleasure tending his garden and feeding the birds
that found their way to his sanctuary; he found peace in listening
to their songs and to the sounds of the water nearby. He loved
to behold the fabulous view from his special lookout spot at
the kitchen table. And, perhaps most of all, he treasured the
time he was able to spend with all of his grandchildren - just
as they delighted in their time with him. In addition to his
prodigious professional achievements, Helmuth was also a man
of rare musical sensitivity and talent; had he not chosen the
career that he did, he might well have become an accomplished
concert pianist. He always shared his love of music with those
around him and entertained and delighted us all with his magnificent
performances and shared with us his collection of musical instruments
and music from all over the world. The family wishes to express
special thanks to Doctor Jean
MARMOREO and Doctor Maia
NOSENKIS and
to the staff of the Wiarton Hospital, as well as the staff at
CarePartners and Community Care Access Centre. The family also
expresses their special gratitude to Doctor Eric
BARKER who attended
Helmuth with utmost compassion and dedication not only during
the last eight months but during the last moments of his life.
We owe you all a debt of gratitude for the care and comfort you
gave to him. In accordance with Helmuth's wishes, cremation has
taken place. There will be no funeral home visitation or service.
There will be a memorial gathering at a later date. Arrangements
entrusted to the George Funeral Home, Wiarton, Ontario. Donations
made to the Wiarton Hospital or the Heart and Stroke Foundation
would be appreciated by the family as expressions of sympathy.

AMBROSE,
Joyce
Mother, department store garment alterations specialist, life
enthusiast. Born May 13, 1913, in Durban, South Africa. Died
September 11 in Toronto of multiple causes, aged 94.
By Dan PROUDFOOT,
Page
L10
There was no telling from her pace behind her walker that Joyce
AMBROSE was approaching 90 when she moved into the neighbourhood.
Like many of us, she walked her dog twice a day in all kinds
of weather. This is how I came to know Joyce.
Her little terrier, Jock, had been her son's, she explained one
of the first times we talked. When her son's partner died, followed
by the death of her son, Joyce moved back to Toronto from Vancouver.
She had taken a room at Abbeyfield House, a residence catering
to isolated yet independent individuals. I liked her immediately
because she radiated spunk. Always prettily turned out, as my
wife noted, whether starting a garden on the Abbeyfield grounds
or inching her way up the hill to catch a bus, Joyce seemed both
old and ageless.
One summer, word went around that she had turned 90. Yes, she
said, she'd be happy to come to lunch. Over cold chicken sandwiches,
we learned more about her.
She was South African and was deemed "coloured" under the apartheid
system, she said. To escape the limitations of being labelled
as such, she and her husband immigrated to England. She and her
son subsequently moved to Canada. Joyce smiled sweetly as she
told this story, as though what had happened 50 years earlier
didn't matter much now.
What mattered, increasingly, was that she was losing her hearing.
As years passed and setbacks came - Jock was put down, repeated
falls left her less mobile - her growing difficulty in conversing
distressed her most. Missing what was said left her unable to
respond. Conversation had been Joyce's great pleasure.
She took to carrying a plastic slate and a felt-tip pen on her
daily walks. As she absorbed whatever question you had written,
the embers that burned within her eyes would brighten and her
voice would sound as merry as ever.
Moved from Abbeyfield two years ago to a series of nursing homes,
Joyce spent more and more time in hospital. She would squeeze
a visitor's hand, even when unable to sit up, and her eyes would
sparkle with every exchange initiated on the plastic slate.
I never knew her well. Yet those who did - Friends from her earlier
life in Toronto who turned up at her various bedsides - seemed
to react as I did, feeling better for the experience of being
with her, as though warmed by her model.
Joyce's gaze finally lost its fire in her last days, one friend
said, yet the memory of her enduring grasp of life remains as
a gift for any of us who made her acquaintance.
Dan PROUDFOOT is Joyce's friend.
