HARTLEY,
Strachan, B.Sc., M.Sc., M.D.
After a courageous 21 months, Strachan lost his battle against
Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma July 5th, 2007 at the Royal Victoria Hospital
in Montreal. Prior to his illness, he experienced short but unfettered
joy as an M.D. pursuing his orthopedic surgery residency at McGill.
Strachan is survived by his devoted wife
Doctor
Chloe
ROUMAIN, proud
parents Mary Ann and Michael, and loving siblings Aimee-Noel,
Wyatt and Blythe. Sharing their daughter's loss are parents-in-law
Pierre YVES and Françoise
ROUMAIN of Haiti and sister Stephanie
READ and family in Miami. While his Uncle Peter
HARTLEY,
Aunt
Catherine LOUVET and cousins Camille and Lauren feel a particularly
strong loss as they acted as his surrogate family during his
7.5 years in Montreal, their grief is shared equally with his
Uncles and Aunts Ian and Mary-Louise and Susan
HARTLEY,
Glenn
and Margaret
MUNRO,
Jim
MUNRO and Margaret
DRAGU and cousins
Megan, Brian, Scott, Kim, Josh and Aretha. He was predeceased
by his grandparents Herb and Simone
HARTLEY and Ralph and Isabelle
MUNRO of Toronto. During his 30 years, Strachan left a powerful
legacy of Friendship, sport and scholarship in Edmonton, Vancouver
and Montreal. His captaincy of the 1997 Vanier Cup Champion University
of British Columbia Thunderbirds football team and subsequently
of the McGill Redmen football team are testament to his leadership
and commitment to others. Earning All-Star status in both leagues,
5-time Academic All-Canadian Honours, the Russ Jackson Award
as the top community, academic and athletic achiever in the Province
of Quebec and twice bestowed with the prestigious Canadian Interuniversity
Sports Award as one of the Top 8 most outstanding academic, leadership
and athletic performers in Canadian sports are tributes of his
tremendous work ethic and strength of character. His successful
completion of medical school while battling cancer speaks to
the bravery and determination of this truly remarkable man who
wanted to make a difference in this world. But most of all, Strachan
will be remembered for his warm sense of humor, compassion and
integrity. All who knew him cannot wonder what might have been.
Why, when he had so much to give, was he taken from us? Sleep
in peace wonderful Prince. We will carry you always in our hearts.
The family wishes to acknowledge all the amazing Friends and
community members who supported Strachan during his life and
illness. Your overwhelming caring and compassion touched him
and the family deeply and helped soothe his burden. In lieu of
flowers, the Hartleys have requested that Friends honour Strachan's
memory through the Strachan Hartley Legacy Foundation. The Legacy
Foundation is designed to further Strachan's life goal of making
a difference in the world. All donations will receive a tax deductible
receipt. Please make cheques payable to the Tides Foundation

WITHER,
Isobel
Fleming (née
POTTER) (1923-2007)
Born in Cypress River, Manitoba, Isobel passed away peacefully
on Friday, November 9th at Providence Health Care Centre in Toronto.
Isobel lived in Winnipeg for most of her life where she and her
late husband Glenn raised their family. She will be lovingly
remembered by her children and their families; Joan and Tim
ROUNDS
(Laurel, Will, and his wife
Anthea,)
Bruce and Joan
WITHER
(Robert,
John and Allison) and Don and Donna
WITHER
(Jacqueline.)
Isobel
was predeceased by her husband Glenn in 1981 after 35 wonderful
years of marriage. Isobel's focus was charity work with over
40 years working for the McKinnon Guild in Winnipeg, supporting
the Children's Hospital Foundation. She was a prodigious knitter,
providing yearly sweaters for her grandchildren and mittens for
all. She enjoyed her golf and the many Friendships she made at
Southwood Golf and Country Club. Her fondest memories are of
her youth spent at Fox Lake with her brother Ross and cousins
David and Margaret. Despite Rheumatoid Arthritis, Isobel proudly
maintained her independence in Winnipeg until last Christmas,
when a fall necessitated her move to Toronto. Although Winnipeg
was always her home, her close proximity to her children in her
last year was a blessing to all. Many thanks to the compassionate
staff at Providence Health Care Centre for their help and support,
particularly in her last few months. In lieu of flowers, donations
in her memory may be made to The Arthritis Society or Children's
Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. A private family memorial will
be held in Toronto, followed this spring with her interment and
a celebration of her life in Winnipeg.

of the world. Widowed in 1977, she moved to Toronto where she
lived for almost thirty years. Due to failing health, Edith relocated
to Calgary to be with her family in October 2006. Always willing
to lend a sympathetic ear, she leaves behind many Friends of
all ages who recognized and appreciated her wisdom, intelligence,
compassion and lady-like elegance. Our mother frequently said
that 'it was not by words that I would wish my life distinguished
but rather by deeds done'. In this spirit she volunteered with
the Royal Ontario Museum and with the Canadian Blood Services,
the latter until the age of 87 years.

HARRIS,
Eugenia
Jennifer (née
BARTMAN)
(June 8, 1921-October 10, 2007)
Jennifer HARRIS was a petite dynamo with a heart of gold. She
had wide turquoise eyes and wore a winning smile under a crown
of brilliant red hair. Never meek, she was a strong business
woman, loving wife and devoted family matriarch. Born in 1921 to
Sam and Anna
BARTMAN,
Ukrainian immigrants, Jenny grew up during
the Great Depression with her 10 siblings on a farm outside Vegreville,
Alberta. Under these conditions, she developed an independent
character, a strong work ethic, a wealth of common sense and
a belief in the importance of family. She maintained a youthful
appearance and indomitable spirit throughout her life, advocating
a healthy lifestyle and the power of positive thinking. After
attending business school, Jenny met and married Perry
HARRIS
in Vancouver in 1946. They moved to Etobicoke in 1959 with their
sons, Robert (Bob) and Al. In 1980, Perry and Jennifer bought
Select Brushes, where they worked together, alongside their son
Al. Following Perry's death in 1994, Jennifer continued to go
to work every day until her early 80's. Upon recently learning
that she had pancreatic cancer, Jenny declared that she had been
blessed with a long, wonderful life. She was determined to have
one last Thanksgiving dinner with her family and Friends, and
having given thanks, she died peacefully at home two days later
on October 10, 2007. By her side were her loving children Bob
and Al, their wives Mary and Heather, and her beloved grandchildren
Erin and Mark
HARRIS and Alastair
TIVY-
HARRIS.
She was the best
Mother, Mother-in-law and Nana one could have, embracing these
roles with characteristic energy and love. She also leaves to
miss her, her brother-in-law Peter
HARRIS, his wife
Vivian, and
their children Carolyn and Douglas, and her sisters Emily, Rose,
Nancy, Olive and their families. She was predeceased by her siblings
Minnie, Mary, Sophie, Walter, Michael and Eugene. The family
wishes to thank Vivian
HARRIS and Jenny's close Friends who lovingly
cared for her during her illness: Diane and Peter
WAKEFIELD,
Patience and Mac
ROURKE, and, especially Betty
MILNE.
Heartfelt
thanks as well to Doctor Vincent
MAIDA for exceptional palliative
care and support for Jenny's wish to take this journey with minimal
medical intervention and to die with peace and dignity in her
own home. Private burial has taken place. A memorial service
to honour and celebrate Jenny's life will be held at 12 noon
on Sunday, October 21 at Ward Funeral Chapel, 109 Reynolds Street,
Oakville. If desired, contributions in memory of Jenny's life
may be made to The Ride to Conquer Cancer: www.conquercancer.ca.,
Robert HARRIS, participant. Jennifer believed strongly in taking
responsibility for one's life choices. An avid bridge player,
she lived by the motto 'In the game of life, play the best hand
you can, with the cards you've been dealt.' She remains an inspiration
to us all.

MAC
(February 20, 1917-August 24, 2007)
'Mac Celebrating His 90th'
It is with sadness we announce the death of Gordon Mac
HUFF,
a man who gave generously to his family, his Friends and neighbours,
and to his community. Born in Chatham, Ontario, over the years
Mac lived in Kent Bridge, Hamilton, London, Toronto, Montreal,
and Ottawa. Mac had a 'brilliant career' as a top salesman for
Addressograph Multigraph where one of his major accomplishments
was the development and sale of a machine to print postal money
orders, which ended up in every postal outlet in Canada. And
in his very active social life, Mac helped to found the first
ski club in London, Ontario, he was an early member of the Ottawa
Hunt Club, and a longstanding and faithful member of the Rideau
Kiwanis. After his retirement Mac provided countless volunteer
hours building custom adaptive equipment for the Ottawa Children's
Treatment Centre. His great passions for woodworking led him
to join Ottawa's wood tur ners' community as well. Mac was predeceased
by his beloved wife
Angela (née
NEUMANN) and his brother Jim
(Frances BURTON.) He is survived by his nieces Katheleen (Jake
BANKY), Margaret (Peter
HUFF-
ROUSSELLE) and Elizabeth (Jamie
SARGENT.) 'Uncle Mac' spread bad jokes and good humour wherever
he went and was a much-loved favourite of his grand-nieces and
grandnephews. He regularly terrorized the west coast on board
his old pal Bob McCollum's boat and could claim full responsibility
for establishing the tradition of the Sunday-morning Caesar among
the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. Mac's commanding presence
and his extraordinary sense of fun will be missed by his family
and by his many Friends and neighbours on Woodview Crescent,
Blackburn Hamlet (Ottawa). The family wishes to express thanks
to the employees of the Ottawa General Hospital, the Elizabeth
Bruyere Health Centre, and most of all at 'Amica at Bearbrook'
- where so many have provided Mac with supportive and skilled
care over the past few years. And finally the family would like
to express our deepest appreciation to Hugh O'Gorman and
to Ellen
Philps. Donations in Mac's memory could be given to the Ottawa
Children's Treatment Centre Foundation (613.738.4335). A memorial
service will be held at Amica at Bearbrook, 2645 Innes Road,
Ottawa, at 2: 00 p.m. on September 21, 2007. Condolences/Donations

on December 23, 1922. He held St. David's Day celebrations the
world over, awarded the Welsh Cup in family competitions (the
highest honour attainable) and had a zeal for music - so much
so that George's religious affiliation was determined by the
quality of the choir. Queen's University offered George more
than a diploma (Science '45, Masters '47): he met his true love
Mary Lillian
CONNER
(Arts '45 - one of the famed Goodwin House
Girls), forged essential life-long Friendships and instilled
in his children the value of a university experience. While 'The
Graduate' may have suggested it, George lived the future - an
official Canadian Plastics Pioneer. His career course began in
Shawinigan Falls and continued to North York, Brampton, Pointe
Claire and culminated with the prestigious position as President,
China Gulf Plastics Corp. in Taipei, Taiwan. His success afforded
George and Mary, often accompanied by good Friends, the opportunity
to travel the globe and experience its pleasures. Retiring from
the plastics industry in 1976, George resettled the family in
St. Catharines where he opened the Marco Polo Shop - keeping
Mary and him occupied between golf and bridge games. His final
years were spent in Kingston, enjoying the love and companionship
of Ruth CHISAMORE, together wreaking havoc at the Kingsdale bridge
tables. Predeceased by his wife Mary, granddaughter Michelle,
sister Lilian and brother Cyril. Survived by his sister Kitty
(Kathleen) and recognized progeny Richard (Skip), Susan (Doug
ROUTLEDGE,)
Jeff
(Ted
COOPER,) David (France) and Alison (spinster
librarian); grandchildren Michael (Julie), Taben, Devin, Sarah
(Dave LANOVAZ), Julie (Nathan
LAX), Jordan, John Lee
COOPER,
Mathieu BOURBONNAIS; great-grand_son Liam
LANOVAZ and his dearest
companion Ruth
CHISAMORE. A celebration of George's life will
be held at the Country Squire Inn in Gananoque on November 24,
at 7: 00 p.m. For accommodations in the Hale block, call 613-382-3511.
