GRENON,
J.
Émile
By Aline GRENON,
Page
A14
Father, cribbage player. Born June 17, 1909, in Casselman, Ontario
Died August 22 in Montreal, probably of heart failure, aged 97.
The son of an enterprising farmer turned carpenter, Émile was
born the second of seven children. Graduating with a commerce
degree from Bourget College, in Rigaud, Qué., in 1933, at the
height of the Depression, most of Émile's first year out of school
was spent looking for work. It was not until he heard of a Sudbury
merchant in need of a bookkeeper that things began to look up.
Telephoning from the Casselman general store, he was asked "How
soon can you get here?" He responded "Within 24 hours."
After a year bunking out in the back-room of the place where
he worked, Émile acquired a surrogate family when he moved into
the boarding house operated by Mme. Clémentine
LEFEBVRE-
PAQUETTE,
a remarkable woman for whom Émile developed a high regard. However,
it was her entrepreneurial son Roméo who would change Émile's
life. The two struck up a Friendship and one day, Roméo let drop
that a well run grocery business in the then-booming mining town
of Larder Lake stood a good chance of success. Émile agreed that
it probably would and promptly forgot about it until Roméo informed
him that he had purchased the lot that would hold their store.
Although taken aback, Émile felt obliged to honour his unintentional
promise and, with a small sum of borrowed money, he left Sudbury
to join Roméo in business. Thus was born Paquette and Grenon
(or P and G as it soon became known): the result of one man's vision
and another's commitment to Friendship.
The initial years were difficult. To make ends meet, the partners
delivered firewood house-to-house with a horse and wagon. At
the best of times, the future appeared uncertain, and at the
worse it was downright bleak, particularly when a bank manager,
convinced that French-Canadians lacked business acumen, cut off
their line of credit without warning. Luckily, a local bootlegger
named "Black Nellie" lent them sufficient money to permit the
business to survive and thrive. P and G eventually grew to eight
stores.
With the advent of the Second World War, Émile enlisted in the
Canadian army. Although he had no medical training, he was posted
to the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps. He often joked that
this was because his brother was a doctor and one of his sisters
a nurse! His was, in the parlance of the times, a "good" war.
Stationed mainly at Camp Borden, Émile continued to look after
P and G's accounting needs. On three occasions, he received orders
to ship out to Europe, only to have them rescinded. It was during
one such occasion, while awaiting transportation in Québec City
that he met the charming and attractive Berthe
SAMPSON/SAMSON, who was
working in a munitions factory. They wed in 1946. That she married
him in spite of a mix-up as to his background (the result of
a letter from a confused Casselman priest who mistook him for
an unsavoury cousin with a similar name) proves the extent of
her faith in him. Together they would have three children. Sadly,
Berthe died in early 1967, after a struggle with breast cancer.
Émile's loneliness over the next 20 years was mitigated somewhat
by frequent travel, his love of golf, curling and cards, a close
circle of Friends and the presence of his children. However,
the next milestone in his life occurred when he met the remarkable
Phyllis FRISBY, whom he married in 1986. Fun-loving and strong-willed,
she reintroduced a degree of warmth and bustle into his life.
He found it difficult to recover from Phil's death in 2002.
Émile's last years were spent in Montréal. Possibly his greatest
joy during this period came from the countless games of cribbage
he played with his children and his grand_son, Daniel.
Aline is Émile's daughter.

Sharon (Vic
NAIMISH), Sonya (Scott
WRIGHT), Dilly (Bill
BURNS)
and Pat (Drewett) and one brother-in-law Keith
CAMPBELL.
Jack
was born on March 17, 1928 to Thomas and Isabelle
McKEAG in Beresford,
Manitoba. He was 18 months old when a car/train collision at
Chater, Manitoba killed his mother and older sister. Jack was
thrown clear, unharmed, and with the consent of his father, was
adopted by George H.
McKEAG (cousin of Thomas) and his wife
Elizabeth
BIGGAR.
Jack grew up in Winnipeg, attending Queenston, Robert H.
Smith and Kelvin Schools. He graduated from the University of
Manitoba in 1949 with a Bachelor of Commerce. He then joined
the family business Security Storage Ltd. (sold to British Traction
in 1956) remaining there until 1960, serving as President 1952-60.
He helped found McKeag-Harris Realty, latter known as McKeag
Realty, and maintained an active role until 2000. Jack was a
'generous and giving guy' who volunteered in his beloved Winnipeg
in a great variety of causes. He was a life-long member of St. Andrew's
River Heights United Church. He joined the Kiwanis Club in 1951 and
thoroughly enjoyed his association, keeping up contact with Friends
that he met and worked with in the organization. He served as
the President of the Winnipeg Club and
as District Governor of
the 67 Clubs in Western Canada. The family excursions to Kiwanis
conventions across Canada and the U.S.A. rank high in memorable
family trips, full of happenings and mis-happenings. Jack loved
politics and worked locally for the Liberal party through many
elections. In 1977, Prime Minister Trudeau appointed Jack as
Lieutenant-Governor of the province of Manitoba, a position he
held for 6 years. He was deeply honoured to have served Her Majesty,
Queen Elizabeth. He enjoyed travelling the province, attending
fairs, festivals and curling bonspiels. Over 36,000 people from
all walks of life attended functions at Government House. Following
his tenure as Lieutenant-Governor, Jack returned to the business

travellers and covered a great part of the world. Always, however
Winnipeg was home. The favourite place for the family to gather
each summer was at Granite Lake, Ontario. In spite of all Jack's
honours and activities, he always had time for his family activities
- be it school, hockey, soccer, baseball, swim meets or the horse
barn. He was always ready with a little 'walking around money'
for 'his Buds'. For the first time since 1980, Jack could not
spend part of the winter in Sarasota, Florida. He was too ill
to travel. During his illness, Jack was looked after by a legion
of caring people at the Grace Hospital and by the Home Care and
their Palliative Care Unit. Angels All! It allowed him to die
at home in the midst of his family. A special thanks to Doctor T.
Morgan and Colonel Max Ryan. The service for William John (Jack)
