LOPER,
The
Reverend
Brant
Phister
Died suddenly in his home on Tuesday May 29th 2007, at the age
of 77 years. Brant Phister
LOPER was born in Cincinnati, Ohio
on July 17th 1929. He was a graduate of Hanover College in Indiana,
and completed his theological studies at McCormick Seminary College
in Chicago in 1962, after which he served several pastorates
in Ohio. Brant was then program director at the Yokefellow Institute
in Richmond, Indiana. Brant and his family moved to Canada in
1975, where he served eleven years as the Parish Planner for
the Board of Congregational Life with The Presbyterian Church
of Canada. In 1989, Brant began his work with the United Church
of Canada. His pastorates in Ontario over the years included
Knob Hill United Church in Scarborough and Binkley United Church
in Hamilton. Rev.
LOPER was most proud of his work with Saint_John's
United Church in Georgetown, and Glen Williams United Church,
where he served as Minister to both parishes simultaneously.
Brant always had a positive outlook on life, and attributed this
mentality to helping him beat cancer and remain cancer free.
In his retirement years, Brant was able to enjoy his many different
hobbies and interests. He was an avid supporter of the arts,
in particular the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra. He attended
his Sherlock Holmes group "The Main Street Irregular's", the
Halton-Peel Canadian Club, and was a member of the Ontario Black
History society with particular interest in the studies and education
of the Underground Railroad. He was a Minister Emeritus and a
member of the Glen Abbey United Church congregation from which
he drew much inspiration. Brant was proud to be a Canadian and
was an active member and supporter of the New Democratic Party.
A true "people person", Brant was always upbeat and was happiest
when surrounded by people where he could engage in stimulating
conversation and the sharing of ideas. Brant is survived by his
sons Christopher Brant
LOPER and his wife
Kylie and
John
Calvin
LOPER and his partner Katharine
BARTHEL.
Proud grandfather of
Noah William and Deacon James
LOPER.

wives; Chris and John's mother Arvone

Prior to the service Bill

The eulogy was given by his sister, Rosemary
RITCHIE, who related
about growing up on the Old Durham Road, Artemesia Township the
son and daughter of John and Sadie (Sarah
OLIVER)

of their young and teenage years and then of John Oliver going
off to train for a nurse. She recalled how he graduated from
the Owen Sound General and Marine Hospital then obtained his
B.A. from Waterloo University before heading west in 1974.
He chose to live in Delta, British Columbia where his great-uncle
and former British Columbia premier, John
OLIVER, had settled.
There he enjoyed nature, creating a wonderful garden and walking
his dogs.
He completed a M.A. at Simon Fraser University and became a teacher
at the Faculty of Health Sciences at Douglas College where he
taught for 30 years. He was much loved and admired by colleagues
and students alike.
He enjoyed music and sang with the Vancouver Bach Choir for several
years in performances of Handel's Messiah, the Aida performance
at British Columbia Place and subsequent travels to perform in
Japan.
Rev. Mark WAUGH of Annesley United read scripture and gave the
meditation.

Stanley Alexander
PRIDDLE of Markdale passed away suddenly in
the Grey-Bruce Regional Health Centre in Owen Sound on Sunday
evening, September 2, 2007.
He was born on July 10, 1930 in Osprey Township, the only son
of Roy PRIDDLE and Jessie
(BADGEROW)
PRIDDLE. He and his three
sisters attended S.S.#2 McIntyre in Osprey Township where his
parents farmed. In 1944 Stan's father purchased a home near Dundalk
where the family resided for many years.
Stan's working career started after high school when he found
employment with Aitchison's Bakery in Dundalk. He worked there
for 12 years and learned the baking trade. In 1957 he took over
the bakery in Markdale which had been started by Allen
SMITH
of Dundalk. Two years later he purchased a building across the
street and moved the business there.
On October 24, 1959 he married Vivian
DAWSON of Dundalk and together
they owned and operated Priddle's Bakery. And that bakery was
a great success. People still rave about it today. Just last
year someone told his daughter Brenda that she used to go to
his bakery and had to hide the pastries she bought in different
areas of her house so people wouldn't eat them before meal time.
Many of the pleasant memories shared by those who attended visitations
and the funeral revolved around the bakery.
After Stan sold the bakery in 1972, he worked as a baker for
Vern's
Donuts in Owen Sound His employer, Vern
BARBER, remembered
Stan as someone who always had a smile on his face, and his co-worker,
Paul DICKSON/DIXON said that Stan taught him how to be a good baker.
Stan worked for Vern for 17 years before ill health forced him
to retire.
Stan's favourite pastime was to drive a car. He enjoyed travelling
to many places, both locally and far away. He has been in every
Canadian province and in many parts of the United States, to
the Bahamas and
to Jamaica. "If you're not going, you're not
living!" was his motto.
In retirement years he and Vivian purchased antique cars and
attended local parades and car shows. If a stranger wanted a
ride in one of his cars, he gave him one. They had many adventures
with these cars and met many new people along the way.
Stan had a good sense of humour. He was generous, quiet kind
and considerate. He was held in good esteem by all who knew him.
Stan is survived by his daughters, Brenda
CATCHER of Owen Sound
and Evelyn (Reg)
CREGO of Burlington and by his son David (Camilla)
PRIDDLE of Manotick, near Ottawa. He also has four grandchildren,
Ryan and Allison
DEMERCHANT and Cole and Brock
PRIDDLE. He is
fondly remembered by his friend Joyce
ROWE of Hanover who has
arranged to have a tree planted in his honour near Griersville.
He is also survived by his sisters Rosetta
MUIR of Dundalk, Margaret
BROWN of Shelburne and Verna
MARKOVICH of Shelburne. His mother-in-law
Lillian DAWSON of Shelburne and his brother-in-law Tom
DAWSON
of Dundalk also survive. He was predeceased by his parents Roy
and Jessie
PRIDDLE, and by his brothers-in-law Bill
MUIR,
Donald
BROWN and Stephen
MARKOVICH.
A funeral was held on Friday, September 7 at the Donald and May
Funeral Home in Markdale. His daughter Brenda wrote the eulogy
and his son David delivered the eulogy along with his own thoughts.
His other daughter, Evelyn, prepared a collage of pictures of
Stan at various stages in his life. Rev. Mark
WAUGH officiated
at the service and David
FRIES played the organ. A floral arrangement
was made for Stan by Bernice
TUPLIN of Feversham.
Friends and relatives were present from Markdale, Dundalk, Owen
Sound, Chesley, Cambridge, Burlington and Manotick.

HOWARTH,
Jean
Kate (née
IDDON) (April 15, 1922-January 9, 2007)
Succumbing to complications from pneumonia, Jean passed away
very peacefully with family and Friends by her side at North
York General Hospital. She is predeceased by her parents Ruby
(née WAUGH) and Arnold
IDDON, by her beloved husband and best
friend, Allen (1918-1982), and by her brother Douglas. She is
survived by her son, Rick, and her daughter, Lynne (Janet
McDOUGALL,)
as well as by numerous nieces, nephews, and Friends of all ages
and stages in her life. Jean had lived with cardiovascular issues
since her bypass surgery in 1976. Her determination, positive
attitude ('I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in') and
zest for life, not only kept her going, but also made her a favourite
of all who met her. She loved life and the people in her life
helping others was her passion. She will be sorely missed by
many. The family wishes to thank the staff at Cedarhurst Residence
where Jean rediscovered the social world from which she had become
distanced as the alzheimer's /mixed dementia progressed. In accordance
with her wishes, she has already been cremated. We will welcome
family and Friends at the Humphrey Funeral Home - A.W. Miles
Chapel, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Eglinton Avenue East),
from 7-9 p.m. on Friday, January 12th. A celebration of Jean's
life will be held in the chapel at 3: 00 p.m. on Saturday, January 13th
with reception to follow. If desired, donations would be appreciated
to Ewart Angus Sprint Homes - Cedarhurst 2601 Bayview Avenue,
Toronto M2L 1B5.

EGAN,
James
Callan
Jim, Dale, Hanna and Madeleine Grace are deeply saddened by the
departing of Cal - son and brother. Cal passed away in his sleep
the morning of July 12th. was born on a Friday the 13th, March,
1992. An empathic, loving, trustworthy and eclectic teenager,
he was loved by his sisters, mum, dad and all the family. Honest
to a fault, Cal always gave himself away by the tell-tale corners
of his mouth whenever he tried to pull the wool over someone's
eyes. From an early age, he was a quick thinker, a diligent worker
and had his father's natural head for math and science. A typical
evening at the Egan home involved the girls, Cal, and Jim at
the kitchen couch chuckling to the Simpsons while Mom was cooking
for the crew. Cal grew up playing soccer, hockey, squash, unicycling
and skiing with the family. He was such a good little guy. He
had a love of ketchup, a passion for 'World of Warcraft', any
kind of water (swimming, surfing waves, shoveling snow and loved
a great rainstorm). He was a strong student and was on the Reach
team at school. Studies came easy to him, leaving time for other
adventures with his Friends. He will be sadly missed by his family,
his grandmothers Eileen
EGAN and Dorothy
WAUGH, his aunts and
uncles Rita, Liam, Brenda, Mikey, Penny, Don, Linda, Rodney,
Judy and Janice, and his cousins Meaghan, Kyle, Avari, David,
Justin, Conor, Dylan, Tori, Spencer, Garnet and Jamie and all
the relatives here and around the world. Cal finds himself now
in the company of his two grandfathers - Donald
WAUGH and Seamie
'poppy' EGAN.
Visitations for Cal will be from 2 to 4 and 7 to
9 on Tuesday July 17th at Glen Oaks Memorial Chapel and Reception
Centre, 3164 Ninth Line (at Dundas) Oakville. Funeral Service
will be held Wednesday the 18th at 1 p.m. at Glen Oaks. In lieu
of flowers, we ask that any memorial donations be made to Epilepsy
Ontario at www.epilepsyontario.org
