HULL, Marian " Murphy"
Marian 'Murphy' HULL was born in Poland in 1924 and immigrated to Canada at the age of 9 during the Great Depression. He left school after only finishing grade 7 to help support his family. He joined the Canadian Navy during World War 2 and after the war became a plasterer. This early experience was an important stepping stone for Murphy in becoming one of the foremost builder/developers in Toronto. He married the love of his life Helen, in 1948. A nomination for the Order of Canada was accepted by Rideau Hall this year and was in process at the time of his death. Murphy's intelligence, integrity and work ethic created a truly remarkable life for himself and his family. In more recent years a partnership with Tridel Corporation led to many high quality condominium developments throughout Greater Toronto. His legacy, Hullmark Centre, which is to be built at the corner of Yonge and Sheppard, will be the centre piece of downtown North York. Murphy was committed to giving back to his community. He always said that Canada had been so good to him but he was also so good to Canada. He was a founding member of York Finch General Hospital, now Humber River Regional Hospital, a director for 30 years and chair of the board for 3. He was instrumental in locating the hospital at 400 and Finch. In 1968 he assisted the Director of Education in the acquisition of a building site for Seneca College. In 1975 he was a founding member of Copernicus Lodge, a Polish non-profit long term and senior self care facility. He has been a director since then, chaired the building committee and in 1993 became chair of the board. He oversaw all phases of this long term care facility with vision, leadership and superb attention to detail. He attended weekly meetings and took part in every social function that they had. He was extremely proud of the work that he and everyone involved had created. In 2002 he received the Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee medal. He did not allow his busy business and volunteer life to consume all of his time and was deeply committed to his family. He taught his children to ski and spent every summer with them in Georgian Bay, the 2nd love of his life. He assisted all of his children in their business endeavors. These traditions continued with his 7 grandchildren whom he and Helen took skiing every year. For years, he regularly 'tied' 7 pairs of ski boots. As a result of their grandparent's loving time and care, the grandchildren feel more like brothers and sisters. He has been generous to all of us and taught us the value of hard work and fr ugality. We will all miss him and will love him dearly forever. To all who knew him, Murphy was a force of nature. Diagnosed with cancer over a year ago, Murphy lived the last year of his life to its fullest. He passed bravely into death in his home on June 27th, 2008. He was so deeply loved by his wife Helen, son Richard (predeceased), daughters Barb and Cindy, son-in-laws David and Brian, grandchildren, Ben and his wife Stephanie, Hannah and her husband Mike, Brian and his wife Anna, Jeff and his partner Christie, Brennan, Lily, and Wilf, great-grandchildren Quinn and Oleh, sisters Adele and Bernice and her husband Morrie. The family would like to thank Doctor Ted PTAK and Doctor Sam BERGER and the staff at Humber River Regional Hospital, the staff of St. Elizabeth Home Care and Allan Hernandes-Cisne for their attentive care and support. Most importantly we would like to thank Carol and Angelo DELZOTTO for their daily devotion and love and Harvey FRUITMAN and Linda SOUDACK for their Friendship and concern. Friends may call on Sunday, June 29, 2008 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the R.S. Kane Funeral Home (6150 Yonge Street, at Goulding, south of Steeles). A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, June 30, 2008 at 11: 00 a.m. at Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church (24 Cheritan Avenue). Interment to follow at York Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Copernicus Lodge or Humber River Regional Hospital-Finch Site. Condolences www.rskane.ca. R.S. Kane 416-221-1159

ROTTER, Julek " Julian"
(February 12, 1912-July 8, 2008)
Born in Lvov, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Julian ROTTER lived through two world wars. His formal education came to an end early, as he left school at about 12 years of age to help support his impoverished family. He became involved in radical politics as a young teenager, and throughout his life remained committed to the struggle for social justice. When the second world war broke out in September 1939, Julian enlisted in the Polish Cavalry in their brief, ill-fated struggle against Hitler. Later that year, while working to organize a factory union, he met and fell in love with the late Natalie Strawczynski ROTTER, who had fled Nazi-occupied Poland in autumn 1939. They married in Lvov on December 10, 1940, the day that the Soviets declared war on Hitler. Julian then joined up with the Red Army to fight the Nazis. At the end of World War 2, Julian returned to Lvov, but was devastated to find that he was the only survivor in his entire immediate and extended family. He immigrated to Montreal with his wife Natalie, and baby Frederika, to join Natalie's late brothers (Zygmunt and Oscar STRAWCZYNSKI) and their families. His younger daughter Pearl ("Pep") was born in Montreal. Julian will be remembered as a hard-working, devoted, loving husband, father, uncle and friend who fought intensely for all he believed in, worked tirelessly to provide for his family, and refused to accept defeat whenever he saw any injustice. He was shattered by the death of his beloved wife of sixty years in 2001. He is survived by their two daughters; Frederika and her husband, Philip BERGER; and Pearl and her husband, Evan SPLETT; three adoring grandchildren, Pia and Joey BERGER and Esther SPLETT; and numerous loving nieces, nephews, great nieces and great-nephews. The funeral service will be held at Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel, 2401 Steeles Avenue West (3 lights west of Dufferin), on Thursday July 10, 2008 at 10: 00 a.m. Shiva at 106 Riverdale Avenue. Memorial donations may be made to the Julian Rotter fund for Jewish Immigrant Aid Service c/o The Benjamin Foundation, 3429 Bathurst Street, Toronto, M6A 2C3, 416-780-0324, www.benjamins.ca

McINTYRE, Duncan
A special thanks to Doctor ARUNASALAM and the F-Wing nurses and caregivers at the Headwaters Health Care Centre, Orangeville. They went beyond professionalism, by their compassion and care during Duncan's illness and passing. Their warmth and understanding during a very difficult and stressful time will always be remembered. Thanks to family, Friends and neighbours for calls, cards, food brought to our home, beautiful flowers, prayers and visits. All these helped to lift my sad heart and made me realize just how rich Duncan and I were; if all the love from everyone could be measured we would be millionaires. A thank you to the Doney Funeral Home staff for their assistance and direction. The Masonic Lodge No. 449 of Dundalk honored Duncan with a special service Wednesday evening. Reverend TIPPING and Reverend BELLSMITH led a lovely service. My daughter Bonnie PALUBISKI and granddaughter Jennifer FAWCETT gave a lovely eulogy for Duncan. The service was blessed with heavenly songs - "In The Garden" and "On The Wings of a Snow White Dove," sang by angels by the names of Doreen LYON and Alice HIGGINSON. Thank you to the pallbearers - son Kenneth McINTYRE, grand_sons Jason THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, Robert FAWCETT, - David PALUBISKI and nephews Don and Marten McINTYRE. Honorary pallbearers were Rick ZEGGIL, Howard and Mel HANNON and Don GORDON. Thank you to the flowerbearers - grandchildren Tyler THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, Jennifer FAWCETT, Nicole THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON nieces - Patti BERGERON, Wendy GORDON and Kathy MEEKS.
Following a heartfelt funeral service, family, Friends and neighbors gathered for one last meal on Duncan. With thanks to the Shelburne Trinity United Church Women for providing a delicious lunch, where we shared memories and celebrated the life of Duncan Kenneth McINTYRE. The love and support of all have helped to give me strength. I pray God will Bless All for their kindness and generosity. My sincere appreciation and thanks.
