SENBA "
Semba,"
Masayoshi
Passed away peacefully at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax,
Nova Scotia, on December 30, 2006 at the age of 59. Born in Sendai,
Japan on October 24, 1947, Masayoshi was the first
son of Masataka
and Kazuko
SENBA.
Growing up in Tokyo, Masa showed keen interests
in physical sciences from early on, setting up his first laboratory
in a closet when he was 11. Convinced that physics held the key
to truth, Masa studied at the Tokyo University of Education,
where he met Kazue (née
NUMAKURA) who was playing in the same
university orchestra. They were married in 1972. The couple moved
two years later to the U.S.A. to study at Rutgers University
and Masa obtained a Ph.D. in physics in 1980. In 1981 he moved
to Vancouver, British Columbia to conduct experimental and theoretical
research in solid state, atomic and nuclear physics and physical
chemistry at TRIUMF. Masa moved to Halifax in 1996 to join
his wife and later became a Professor Research in the Department
of Physics and Atmospheric Science at Dalhousie University. Masa
made original contributions to several fields of physics. In
particular he provided a precise theoretical frame work, called
the time-ordered stochastic method, to investigate spin and charge
exchange phenomena involving hydrogen-like species, with the
goal to understand various experimentally observable quantities
in terms of fundamental physical quantities inherent in the process
in question, such as quantum mechanical spin flip rates and atomic
collision cross sections. His theoretical method has been applied
successfully to a wide variety of experimental situations in
solid state physics, physical chemistry, and atomic physics.
He lectured regularly at the Russian Academy of Sciences Winter
School of Physics in St. Petersburg, Russia since 1998, and gave
a series of seminars at the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory in
Oxford, United Kingdom in 2002. Masa also taught physics at Dalhousie
University, where he was known to push his students hard while
taking great care to ensure thorough understanding, always earning
their respect and appreciation. In 2002 he received from the
Dalhousie Undergraduate Physics Society the first Langstroth
Memorial Award, which recognizes an instructor of physics who
shows the greatest love of teaching and the strongest desire
to assist students in all matters. In addition, Masa's interests
in philosophy (including Kant) led him to teach Einstein's theories
to students at the University of King's College in Halifax. As
a self-taught viola (and violin) player, Masa found great joy
in playing in orchestras, including the Vancouver Philharmonic
Orchestra and Dalhousie Music Department Orchestra. He also cherished
playing string quartets and other chamber music, most recently
as a member of the Mostly Telemann Ensemble since 1996 and the
Edward Street Quartet since 1997 in Halifax. Deeply fond of the
German language, Masa studied it steadily throughout his life,
reading original writings of great composers including Brahms.
He and his wife took great pleasure in following the steps of
these composers in Austria, Germany and other countries in Europe.
Masa was predeceased by his father Masataka
SENBA.
Masa is lovingly
remembered by his wife
Kazue
SEMBA in Halifax and his mother
Kazuko SENBA, brothers Tamio and Hideo and other family members
in Tokyo. According to Masa's wish, there will be no funeral,
but a get-together to remember him will be scheduled at a later
time in Halifax. The family would like to thank the staff of
the QEII Halifax Health Sciences Centre, particularly the
Palliative Care Unit, and Victorian Order of Nurses nurses for
their care, concern and kind support for Masa and the family
during his illness.

RILEY,
Helena
Day "
Polly" (née
HARRIS) (1923-2007)
Polly died peacefully at Grace Hospice on Tuesday, October 9,
2007 after a heroic struggle with pulmonary disease. Polly is
survived by her devoted husband of 62 years Derek; three children
and their families: Jeannie, her husband Rod
SENFT, their children
Riley, Derek and Lauren; Derek, his wife
Anne
POULSON, their
children Andrew and Kate; Leslie, her husband Buzz
GRANT and
their children Jean, Tom, Ian, and Christopher. She was predeceased
by her daughter Debby, her parents Alan and Helena
HARRIS, sisters
Nancy and Janet, and her brother Tom. Polly was born in Buffalo,
New York on December 8, 1923 and moved to Winnipeg with her parents
in 1938. She attended Riverbend School and the University of
Manitoba, graduating with an Interior Decorating Diploma from
the School of Architecture in 1944. Her great beauty, athleticism
and endearing personality made her one of the most popular girls
on campus. She was chosen Winter Carnival Queen in 1942, and
was at one time University of Manitoba Ladies Tennis Champion
and Ladies Golf Champion. Polly and Derek were married during
World War 2 while he was home on leave from the Royal Navy Fleet
Air Arm and she provided financial support to him during the
early years following the war by obtaining outside employment
while he was studying to become a Chartered Accountant. Polly
devoted her life to her family, her Friends, and her community.
Her volunteer involvement included the Junior League of Winnipeg,
the White Cross Guild of the Winnipeg General Hospital, Middlechurch
Home of Winnipeg, and she was always a willing canvasser for
a host of deserving charitable institutions. Her family was her
pride and joy. Many happy summers were spent at Lake of the Woods
from the time her children were babies until adulthood, and many
a ski trip was taken in the family station wagon to the Canadian
Rockies and
to Colorado. Polly loved the world of sport, particularly
golf, badminton, and tennis. She was a member of the St. Charles
Country Club, Winnipeg Winter Club and Kinsman Re-Fit Centre.
In more recent years she has been immensely proud of her nine
grandchildren - all of them bright, healthy, and handsome, and
they in turn have been as devoted to their 'Gammie' as she has
been to them. A great lady of the highest moral character with
a very positive outlook, a keen sense of humor, and an unfailing
concern for needs and feelings of others, 'Miss Polly' will be
fondly remembered and sorely missed by all who knew and loved
her. Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of her life
will be held at St. George's Anglican Church (Crescentwood),
168 Wilton Street, on Saturday, October 13, 2007 at 2: 00 p.m.
Flowers are greatly declined. If Friends so wish donations in
Polly's memory may be made to the St. George's Anglican Church
Memorial Fund, 168 Wilton Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3M 3C3,
or to a charity of their choice. Thomson Funeral Home 669 Broadway
