KATZ,
Sidney
On Thursday, September 13, 2007, Sidney (Sholem)
KATZ died peacefully
in his 92nd year at Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital after a long
battle with kidney disease.
Born in Ottawa in 1916, he was the third
son of Samuel
KATZ of
Russia and Susan
SUGARMAN of Lithuania. Educated at Lisgar Collegiate
and St. Patrick's College (now Carleton University), where he
received his B.S. Sc., he then moved to Toronto, where he was
named editor of the now-defunct publication Magazine Digest.
In 1941, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a radar
mech., serving in the Eastern Air Command and, later, overseas
with the Royal Air Force. Returning to Canada after the war,
Sid continued his education at the University of Toronto, obtaining
a M.S.W. (Master of Social Work), specializing in psychiatry.
He later received a Diploma in Alcohol and Drug Addiction from
Yale University.
Having married Ottawa-born journalist Dorothy
SANGSTER while
on leave during the war, the couple settled in Toronto. Sid joined
the staff of Macleans Magazine as a feature writer, gaining national
acclaim for his numerous articles over a period of fifteen years,
including his breakthrough 1954 article "I Was a Madman for Twelve
Hours", the first detailed, first-person account in a general
magazine of the effects of the hallucinogenic drug LSD, given
to Sidney under the supervision of Doctor Humphrey Osmond in Weyburn,
Saskatchewan.
Sid later joined the Toronto Star, where he was a feature writer
and columnist, specializing in issues of mental health, mental
illness, and social and behavioural problems. Retiring early
from the Star, he continued his career as a freelance journalist
and broadcaster as well as acting as an Adjunct Professor at
the University of Western Ontario's Graduate School of Journalism,
and authoring the book The Divided Woman.
His concern about Canadians with special needs often led to the
establishment of organizations designed to help them, including
the Non-Smokers' Rights Association, Parent Finders, The Patients'
Rights Association and the Allergy Information Association. He
was actively involved in several other groups, including those
dealing with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and gay rights,
and as a member of the Conference on Aging's planning committee
and of the executive planning committee of the Ontario Consultation
on Youth.
Sidney received numerous awards for his work, including the City
of Toronto Civic Award, the Canadian Mental Health Award, Metro
Police Award, the University of Western Ontario's President's
Medal (twice), the Canadian Education Conference Award, Canadian
Nurses Association Award, Allergy Information Association Award,
the Ohio State University Award, and ten Maclean-Hunter Awards
for editorial excellence.
Sidney is survived by his wife Dorothy, son Jeremy, sisters Esther
(Mrs. Irving
ROBINSON) of Toronto and Miriam (Mrs. Lou
WEINER)
of Ottawa, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased
by his son Stephen in 1989.
The family would like to express its sincere appreciation to
the staff of Sunnybrook Hospital's K Wing (Veterans) and Dialysis
Unit for their wonderful care over the past several years.
A private family service was held at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Friends
may call at the Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Ave. W.
(2 stop lights west of Yonge St.) on Wednesday September 26 from
2-4 and 7-9 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Sunnybrook or The Kidney Foundation.
