IVEY also a very respected businessperson
Former
London member of provincial parliament Dianne
CUNNINGHAM
says Beryl Ivey was 'a role model for many.'
By Joe BELANGER, Sun Media, Thurs., December 27, 2007
Beryl IVEY, whose philanthropy touched the lives of countless,
was also an astute London businessperson, her acumen admired
by many.
Accolades continued to pour in yesterday for the London icon
who died Christmas morning and will be buried in London tomorrow
her birthday -- following a private family service.
A memorial service will be held January 11 at Saint Paul's Cathedral
in London.
"Most of us know her as a business woman," said Dianne
CUNNINGHAM,
a former London member of provincial parliament, Ontario cabinet
minister and now director of the Lawrence National Centre for
Policy and Management at the Richard
IVEY
School of Business
at the University of Western Ontario.
"We were all involved in raising money and there was always a
business plan in place. She always asked the questions… She was
a role model for many of us."
CUNNINGHAM, who has known Beryl and Dick
IVEY for more than 30 years,
was devastated by the news of
IVEY's death three days before
her 83rd birthday after suffering a heart attack on Sunday.
"She taught us to ask questions, be generous and to always say
thank you," said
CUNNINGHAM. "
She was a great advisor for everybody,
who would give you her best ideas. Has London ever known a family
like this? No. I'm going to miss her very, very much."
Another
London icon, Don
SMITH, who founded Ellis-Don Ltd., Canada's
second-largest construction company, said he lost a "close friend."
SMITH said Beryl
IVEY, president of Beehive Investments Inc.,
sat on many boards, including corporations, but not just in an
honorary capacity.
"Her judgement certainly was respected," said
SMITH. "
She brought
to boards an intelligent, female point of view. She'll certainly
be missed."
Through her company Beehive,
IVEY contributed $1 million toward
a $9-million partnership fund for London's National Centre for
Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery.
Born Beryl
NURSE in 1924 in Chatham to a Canadian army lieutenant-colonel,
IVEY was a gifted high school athlete who received a full scholarship
to Brescia College at University of Western Ontario in 1943.
It was at school that she met Dick, whom she married in 1949,
becoming part of a wealthy family that co-founded the Empire
Brass Manufacturing Co., now known as Emco.
It was Dick's father, Richard G.
IVEY, who in 1947 incorporated
the Ivey Foundation that became such a big part of the couple's
lives.
Beryl IVEY is credited with the business-like approach to philanthropy
the family adopted in the 1970s. She and Dick passed along control
of the foundation to their four children in 1997.
Beryl and Dick
IVEY moved to Toronto from London 18 months ago
to be closer to their children. In June, Beryl was named to the
Order of Canada.
She is survived by her husband, Richard, four children, nine
grandchildren and a brother, Robert
NURSE.
It's estimated the
IVEYs donated about $150 million to philanthropy
over several decades.
While much is known about the
IVEYs volunteerism and philanthropy
toward education, medicine and the arts, not so well known is
their wide-ranging interest and support for the environment.
The World Wildlife Fund, the Nature Conservancy of Canada and
the Talbot Land Trust are but a few of the
IVEY's benefactors.
Judith RODGER, former chair of the London Community Foundation,
said Beryl and Dick
IVEY "had a sense of the importance of protecting
biodiversity.
"If you ever needed good, sensible advice, Beryl was a good person
to turn to," said
RODGER.
"She was very astute and cared deeply about the environment.
And she had a real business sense."
John KIME, former chief executive of the London Economic Development
Corp., said the
IVEYs didn't give blindly.
"She put discipline into managing their philanthropy," he said.
"They supported things they felt were truly worthwhile. They
did wonderful research and then backed those causes or projects
strongly, with commitment. She was an extraordinary person in
terms of her commitment to this community. It's a huge loss."
In lieu of flowers, the family asks memorial donations be made
to Foundation Western at University of Western Ontario or the
London Community Foundation. Online condolences may be posted

In loving memory of a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother
who passed away January 7th, 1997.
Time speeds on, ten years have passed
Since death its gloom, its shadow cast
Within our home where all seemed bright,
And took from us a shining light.
We miss that light and ever will,
Her vacant place there's none to fill.
Down here we mourn, but not in vain,
For up in Heaven we will meet again.

Ron BENDER, 60 Educator
Math teacher one of first to receive Prime Minister's Award
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Knowlton, Quebec -- Ron
BENDER was a math teacher who taught
generations of high-school students, some of whom struggled with
algebra while others were gifted in calculus. One of his students
was Steve MacLean, the astronaut.
Along with being a math teacher, and then department head, Mr.
BENDER
also marked advanced tests for gifted students in contests run
by the University of Waterloo. "The idea was to create 10 problems
for students to solve. They were so difficult neither Ron nor
I could solve them all in the exam time frame," said Jeri
LUNNEY,
a math teacher who worked with Mr.
BENDER. As it turned out,
only the brightest students could get seven out of 10.
"He was recognized as a first-class teacher within the first
five years of his career, Ms.
LUNNEY said. "He was charismatic,
passionate and an excellent communicator."
Few of Ron
BENDER's students forged brilliant careers. Most were
plodders who were afraid of math. "Let's face it, he had kids
who didn't want to be in his class," said his wife, Sharon Ann.
"But if he could show a student something, and get the switch
to go on, it really made his day."
Mr. BENDER knew that, in the modern world, an understanding of
math beyond basic arithmetic was essential.
"I would go by his classroom and he would be using a ball to
explain the concept of a sphere," said Moe
RODRIGUE, who started
teaching with Mr.
BENDER and went on to become principal of West
Carlton Secondary School. "A lot of math teachers just pick up
homework and assign homework. Ron wasn't like that. He was a
natural teacher and involved with his students."
Ron BENDER grew up near Timmins, Ontario, where his father worked
for the highways department and his mother was a housewife. A bright
lad, he skipped a couple of elementary grades and then travelled
an hour each way to attend high school in Timmins. When there
was activity after school, he would sometimes stay in town with
an aunt.
In 1964, he won a full scholarship to study math at the University
of Waterloo. He graduated four years later and began teaching
at Merivale High School in the Ottawa suburb of Nepean. It was
at Merivale that he taught Steve MacLean, who went on to earn
a doctorate in physics. It was also where he met his wife, the
school secretary. They married in 1970.
In 1973, he moved to nearby Gloucester High School. The
BENDERs
bought a house and a parcel of land in Carp, Ontario, where they
raised their children and could work outdoors. "He loved a well-stacked
woodpile," Mrs.
BENDER said.
Mr. BENDER also liked to visit his hometown. "He came to teach
in the Ottawa area and, for the first few years, always thought
he would go home some day."
After
Gloucester
High School, Mr.
BENDER was made head of mathematics
department at Earl of March Secondary School in Ottawa's western
suburbs. Later, he moved to the new West Carleton Secondary School
as head of the math department. "I never remember a day when
he complained about going to work," Mrs.
BENDER said.
In 2000, Mr.
BENDER retired but remained involved in mathematics.
He worked at the University of Ottawa, tutoring first-year engineering
students who were weak in math.
Over the years, he received many awards for his teaching. In
1993, he was in the first group of teachers to receive the Prime
Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence in Science, Technology
and Mathematics. The University of Waterloo gave him the Descartes
Award, named after the 17th-century French mathematician, René
Descartes.
Ronald Cecil
BENDER was born in Matheson, Ontario, on October 12,
1946. He died of leukemia in Ottawa on June 13, 2007. He was
60. He is survived by his wife, Sharon Ann, and their children
Matt and Amy.

MOORE,
Allan
A good man has left us. A very good man. Quietly and peacefully,
Allan MOORE slipped away on January 6 after he could no longer
conquer the ailments that afflicted him in recent years. Allan
was a man of courage, conviction and compassion. The youngest
child in a family of modest means, he was the first with the
good fortune to go to university. His resolute determination
led to a successful and accomplished career as a C.A. Perhaps
the highest tribute was paid to him just over a year ago when
the Manitoba Institute of Chartered Accountants honoured Allan
with their Lifetime Achievement Award. Allan's achievements were
not limited to the workplace. Always mindful of his roots and
grateful for his successes, he strongly believed that it was
equally important to give back to the community. He devoted himself
tirelessly to volunteering his talents and energy to enrich the
lives of others. The list of charities and institutions in Winnipeg
to which he devoted his efforts is lengthy - the Manitoba Opera,
L'Arche, the Blue Bombers, to name just a few. Among his most
notable achievements was as Chair man of the United Way campaign
in 1973. But the most important part of Allan's story has nothing
to do with public accomplishments. It's about the man he was
loving, caring, always possessed of unwavering good humour, a
strong moral compass and an unending concern for others. His
warmth and spirit, like his smile and the twinkle in his blue
Irish eyes, was ever present. The sun could be shining or the
storm clouds rolling in. It didn't matter. He lived his life
with an unquenchable and infectious optimism. His sails always
found the wind, even when it seemed there was none. As a young
man, he crossed paths with an effervescent young woman who had
moved from Greece to his hometown of Hamilton. That woman was
Vivian, his wife and soulmate for the next 52 years. Early in
their marriage they moved west and put down roots in Winnipeg.
They lived life fully, travelling the world and touching down
on every continent on the planet. Together they would light up
any room they entered and their very obvious love and affection
for each other was an inspiration for others. Allan will also
be remembered warmly by his wide circle of Friends- childhood
chums from Hamilton, neighbours, extended family, golfing buddies,
fellow Victoria Beach cottagers, business associates- for his
uncompromising and unconditional Friendship. He was a man they
loved, respected and trusted. And deeply loved he was by those
closest. His wife Vivian, who passed away in 2005. His sons Paul
and David, Paul's wife
Susan
SWAN and David's partner Alfredo
RODRIGUEZ, and his adored and adoring grand_sons Graydon and Jonathan.
Allan is survived by his sister Thelma of Hamilton and was predeceased
by his brother Lloyd of Burlington. To a very good man, we say
our farewell. Not through tears of grief but with thanks and
love for bestowing on us the great fortune of being part of your
life. All of us are so much richer for it, and there is truly
no greater legacy. A private funeral will be held in Toronto
followed by an interment at Mount Pleasant Cemetery with Vivian.
At the family's request, no flowers please. But you can honour
Allan with a donation to the Parkinson Society of Canada at 1-800-565-3000

GAMBLE,
Erik
John
Darryl
Father, artist, musician, island boy, morel hunter, gourmand.
Born October 14, 1950, in Toronto. Died May 20 in Toronto of
diabetes, aged 56.
By Lupe RODRIGUEZ,
Page L6
I first met Erik in 1967 when I was 14. His younger sister invited
me to their home on Ward's Island, a natural paradise off Toronto's
mainland.
He was always in the distance: the tall, lanky, elusive artist
whose soft long curls and rumpled good looks resembled a sexy
cross between Bob Dylan and John Lennon. As a rebellious, creative,
foreboding young man, Erik embodied the creative spirit of the
late 1960s: At the grand old age of 17, he was already both romantic
and cynical.
From his earliest years Eric defined himself through his art,
as a painter and a musician with his band, Moonfood. Not one
for systems or conventions, he left Jarvis Collegiate to attend
a specialized art program at Central Tech, followed by a series
of courses at Toronto's New School of Art.
Erik painted diligently and with passion. His large, abstract
paintings, with their luscious vivid colours, rich textures and
unique combination of organic and rectangular forms, were accomplished
works of art. By his mid-20s Erik was exhibiting at the renowned
David Mirvish Gallery in the company of major U.S. and Canadian
abstractionists. He participated in exhibitions across Canada
and the United States and his work was represented in major art
collections. He exhibited with a number of galleries, but as
time passed and trends changed Erik, like many other artists,
lost popularity with dealers, curators and the public. Although
he kept painting, he lost interest in playing the "art game."
In 1980, Erik became reacquainted with his beautiful Grade 9
sweetheart, Madeleine, at a Ward's Island dance. A true romantic,
he was totally besotted. Madeleine had a daughter, Genevieve.
They soon married and had two more daughters, Eliza and Diana.
Erik was a proud and loving father, but sadly the marriage ended
in 1985.
Many of us knew Erik the great chef and true gourmand. Following
an extended stay in Deia, an idyllic village on the island of
Majorca in Spain, Erik cooked up feasts of Spanish tapas. On
one of my last visits, we shared a picnic of thinly sliced prosciutto,
stuffed olives with anchovies and Portuguese bread with olive
oil and fresh herbs.
A part of Erik will always be with us. Whether we're taking a
ferry to Toronto Island on a breezy summer day, visiting a painting
exhibition, listening to world music, painting a watercolour,
looking for a fun dance partner or tasting the earthiness of
the morel mushrooms he hunted every spring, Erik is sure to be
there.
Lupe RODRIGUEZ is a friend of Erik.
