Toronto lawyer survived D-Day, defended Lord Haw-Haw in Old Bailey
Wounded during the Battle of Normandy, he was reassigned to defend a Nazi broadcaster accused of treason. After returning to Canada, he practised civil law for 60 years
By Gay ABBATE, Page S8
Toronto -- It was April 3, 1943, and Stanley BIGGS was on the Queen Mary, the ship transporting him and other Canadian soldiers across the Atlantic to fight the Nazis. As he passed the time playing bridge, a familiar voice came across the shortwave radio, announcing the imminent demise of the ship and everyone aboard.
"There are 5,000 Canadians aboard the Queen Mary hoping to reach Southampton by sundown. There is no way this will happen. The Messerschmitts are on the way."
The voice belonged to William Joyce, nicknamed "Lord Haw-Haw" by the British. The American-born Joyce had moved to England but fled to Germany just before the war. There, he became part of the Nazi propaganda machine, broadcasting weekly to England and Allied soldiers from 1939 to 1945. Joyce warned that German fighter aircraft would destroy the ship, but it reached port safely.
That was Mr. BIGGS's first introduction to Lord Haw-Haw. Seventeen months later, with Germany defeated, the two men sat just a few feet apart in an Old Bailey courtroom in London. Mr. Joyce was in the prisoner's box on trial for treason; Mr. BIGGS, a trained lawyer recovering from war wounds, was attached to his court-appointed legal defence team.
For long weeks in September and October of 1945, he did nothing but research treason laws dating back to the 14th century. In the process, he became an expert on the subject, writing several articles and giving speeches on the subject after his return to Canada. Of his involvement in the trial, he wrote in his memoirs: "It was a most interesting and worthwhile experience for a young lawyer to do research and to hear the presentation of argument for the Crown by the Attorney-General." The memoir, As Luck Would Have It In War and Peace, was released by Trafford Publishing (Victoria) earlier this year.
It was the duty of the defence team, Mr. BRIGGS wrote, "to research all of the relevant evidence we could find and to see that, if Joyce was guilty, he was not convicted except in full evidence with the law." During the trial, Joyce never spoke but kept looking around the courtroom as if expecting family or Friends to show up, Mr. BIGGS wrote. No one ever came. A jury convicted him of treason and he was hanged in 1946.
Stanley Champion BIGGS was not, in his own words, "a religious scholar, a cosmic scientist, a World War 2 history professional," areas of endeavour he considered beyond his abilities. The list of what he actually was is much longer: a combat infantry officer, a devoted lawyer for more than six decades, a poet, a school trustee, an environmentalist long before environmentalism was fashionable. He also devoted his life to the principle of doing good for its own sake.
He was born to the law, one of four children to solicitor Richard Atkinson BIGGS and Gertrude CHAMPION, the belle of Brantford, Ontario His grandfather, Stanley Clarke BIGGS, founded the firm of Biggs and Biggs.
Young Stan grew up on Roxborough Street in Toronto's Rosedale neighbourhood. He graduated from the University of Toronto Schools and then studied law at the University of Toronto, graduating in 1936 and then enrolling in the three-year law program at Osgoode Hall Law School. In 1939, he joined the family law firm and was called to the bar that June.
To celebrate, he and classmate J.F. BARRETT went to the world's fair in New York. A group of young ladies graduating from Bishop Strachan School in Toronto plotted to join them there. Among them was Mr. BARRETT's younger sister, Barbara, who clicked with Mr. BIGGS. The granddaughter of Sir Joseph FLAVELLE, a financier and meat packer who was well known for his philanthropy in Toronto, they became engaged by September and married the following June.
After the war broke out, Mr. BIGGS volunteered with the Queen's Own Rifles, leaving behind his wife, who was pregnant with their second son. After months of training in England, he was among the thousands of Canadian soldiers who landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day - June 6, 1944.
The regiment landed near Bernières-sur-Mer at about 8 a.m., only to enter a maelstrom. A storm had just passed through the area and rough seas meant that all-important support tanks had been delayed. Unable to wait, the infantry was forced to go ashore unprotected, with the result that the Queen's Own Rifles suffered the worst casualties of any Canadian unit crossing the beaches that day: 60 men killed and another 78 wounded.
Mr. BIGGS, however, emerged without a scratch. He made it through 86 days of continuous front-line combat during the Battle of Normandy, and the long struggle to deny Germany's bitter attempt to halt the Allied breakthrough, until finally he was shot in the leg.
The machine-gun bullet that took him out of the fighting landed him in a courtroom. During and after his convalescence in England, the military decided to make use of his legal skills. Attached to the office of the Canadian Judge Advocates General, he prosecuted or defended soldiers accused of such crimes as assault or rape.
He returned home in December, 1945, with the rank of captain and resumed the life of a civilian lawyer. At first, he helped his father with his client list but also did pro bono work, defending accused who could not afford a lawyer. There was no legal aid system in Ontario until the 1960s.
Mr. BIGGS continued to practise law until 2004. "He loved the law," daughter Dinny BIGGS said. "He was passionate about the rule of law, about studying its background, the evolution of law and jurisprudence."
One of the highlights of his career was his involvement in the creation of the broadcaster CTV. He handled the negotiations that brought together the original parties who acquired the licence for a second national television station.
His client, Joel ALDRED, had originally sought the licence on his own. But with the Canadian Board of Broadcast Governors reluctant to grant one to a single entity, Mr. BIGGS helped him form a partnership with Ted ROGERS.
The new partners entered into an agreement with another group, headed by newspaper owner John BASSETT. The channel went on the air in 1961, but disagreements eventually arose between the two groups. Mr. BIGGS came up with a solution that allowed Mr. ALDRED to sell his shares while leaving Mr. ROGERS as a partner.
Mr. BIGGS continued his pro bono work throughout his career, providing free legal advice to numerous non-profit groups.
That list included the Queen's Own Rifle of Canada Trust, the Canadian Opera Foundation and the Toronto School of Art, which his artist-wife used some of her inheritance to help establish in 1968. In 1955, Mr. BIGGS was named Queen's Counsel. In 1995, he received the Law Society Medal, which the Law Society of Upper Canada awards in recognition of distinguished service in the law profession.
Not content to write just briefs, Mr. BIGGS also loved to dabble in poetry. During the war, he wrote The Queen's Own Rifles on D-Day, a poem that now hangs in the Canadian War Museum. He wrote the piece one day in 1944 when several dozen members of his regiment were killed and dozens more were injured during fighting.
Mr. BIGGS was also a landowner. During his lifetime, he planted more than 150,000 trees, beginning in the late 1940s, when he bought his first piece of farmland. He eventually sold that and bought a 40-hectare farm in Mono Township in Dufferin County, Ontario. The land was hilly and not suitable for crops, so he rented it out for cattle. For relaxation, he started planting seedlings, eventually turning the property into a managed tree farm. In 1991, he was recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources with an award for woodland improvement.
Humour was another important aspect of Mr. BIGGS's life. His was not slapstick humour but rather a keen wit, said his long-time secretary, Marjorie FOGG. "He always had cute little answers to things," she said.
Mr. BIGGS wrote of the importance of humour in his life in his memoirs: "Without the humorous twists in my exposure to life&hellip I think I would have cracked up long ago. I have always felt that the therapeutic value of good humour should be gladly welcomed."
Toward the end of his life, Mr. BIGGS prepared a final message for his family and Friends summing up the philosophy by which he lived his own life: "Live fully, share extremes, stay well, keep chuckling, have the thrill of dedication to good causes, be good on Earth for its own sake."
Stanley Champion BIGGS was born in Toronto on December 6, 1913. He died June 17, 2008, at Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto after a brief illness. He was 94. He is survived by children Christopher, Barrett, John and Dinny, and seven grandchildren. His wife, Barbara, predeceased him in 2005.

CHAN o@ca.on.grey_county.artemesia.flesherton.the_flesherton_advance 2008-03-05 published
Dr. CHAN Passes
By Susan FURLONG, R.N., Program Director, Centre Grey Hospital
The community was saddened to learn of the death of Doctor Raymond CHAN on February 13, 2008. Although he had suffered a stroke almost three years ago, he had recovered and was still practicing medicine and seeing patients from his home in Markdale.
Dr. CHAN was a wonderful person, had a great sense of humour and he took his oath to practice medicine very seriously. When he first arrived in the area in January 1974, he was a General Surgeon and maintained a very large family practice, first from an office in Flesherton, then later near the main corners of Markdale.
He had time to listen and to encourage and if he didn't know the answer, sought the expertise of specialists. Many a baby was delivered by Doctor CHAN, many a life saved by his knowledge and skill and he was well respected by his patients.
Staff at Centre Grey General Hospital could always count on Doctor CHAN to come immediately to see his patients if there was a concern and in the earlier years, he attended all his patients who visited the Emergency Room department no matter the time of day or night.
One▼ of the things Doctor CHAN used to say was, "patient know their own body best" and he understood what people tried to tell him. He was a well read man, cared deeply for his mother who is still living and loved his wife Nancy and children Robert and Naomi. He loved good food and said people should eat more fish.
As Doctor CHAN did not wish any celebration of his life or Service of Remembrance, the hospital in Markdale has set up a Book of Memories in the lobby and we would encourage anyone to come in and sign it and express your thoughts and memories of him and to offer sympathy to his family. We will give it to Nancy as our token of appreciation of his dedication to the health of the community that he gave us.
His wit, his knowledge, his laugh, his presence as a real person and a dedicated physician will be missed. There are many people who come and go in your life and you never have a chance to say good bye. May you rest in peace Doctor CHAN. You will be missed.

CHAN, Doctor Raymond Y.
For One who Died Suddenly
In the hustle and bustle around
The trumpets sound Rang out
Suddenly Loud and clear
Its greeting near
"Come now!" it called
"Come without delay!"
Vanished life's noise,
Extinguished life's woe,
He turned away to go.
Who meets him,
He, ~ greets him?
the light bearer
The life bearer
The comforter
The realms of God leading the way
- (Evelyn Francis Capel)
In Loving Memory of Doctor Raymond Y. CHAN who died February 13, 2008 in Markdale, Ontario

Holiday sojourn ends in grief and sorrow
Police suspect fatigue in grisly crash on 401
By Timothy APPLEBY, Page A1
Toronto -- For 21-year-old New Yorker Niki CHAN and her Florida-based parents, the post-Christmas trip to Canada was to be part vacation, part reunion.
Their first stop was Montreal. From there, on to Toronto and the CN Tower. After that, Niagara Falls before returning south.
They never got that far.
Instead, their journey ended in a horrific two-car crash on a stretch of Canada's busiest highway that killed two people Sunday afternoon. Ms. CHAN's father was one of the victims, and she is now facing twin counts of dangerous driving causing death.
The principal culprit was fatigue, authorities suspect.
One▲ report said the Lexus Ms. CHAN was driving veered across three lanes before striking a disabled Subaru parked on the median of Highway 401. Ontario Provincial Police spokesman Sergeant Cam Woolley said there was no evidence Ms. CHAN attempted to brake before the crash.
Ms. CHAN was released on $20,000 bail yesterday after a court hearing attended by a U.S. consular official. She was also required to surrender her passport for fear she could flee to her native China, according to Sgt. Woolley.
"This is tragic, tragic," said Constable Dave WOODFORD of the Ontario Provincial Police.
The Lexus in which Ms. CHAN, her parents and a sister were travelling plowed into the back of the Subaru on Highway 401 just west of Warden Avenue. All three of Ms. CHAN's relatives were asleep at the moment of impact, investigators found, and witness accounts suggest the Lexus was travelling at between 100 and 120 kilometres an hour and weaving as it sped west.
Constable WOODFORD suggested, "it may be that because the three other occupants in the vehicle were sleeping at the time, [Ms. CHAN], with nobody to talk to, could have dozed off."
Killed instantly as the result of a broken neck was the Subaru's lone occupant, a 71-year-old Mississauga resident whose name was withheld.
Ms. CHAN's father, 51, riding in the back seat of the Lexus without a seat belt, later died of head and internal injuries.
Ms. CHAN, her mother and her sister were all treated for minor injuries at Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital, after which she was arrested and charged.
She had no alcohol or drugs in her system, post-crash tests showed.
The CHAN family had been visiting Canada for a short sight-seeing vacation, Constable WOODFORD said.
From Montreal, they took the five-hour drive to Toronto, where they planned a brief stay before heading for Niagara Falls. Their immediate plans were to visit the CN Tower.
The trip was also a reunion. Ms. CHAN's parents and sister are from Florida, while she lives in the Flushing neighbourhood of Queens, N.Y.
Why the Subaru had stopped is unclear. The roads were bare and traffic not particularly heavy.
But the fact that the driver was parked on the left-hand median of the westbound lane - adjoining the fast lane - and not on the right side suggests mechanical difficulties, Constable WOODFORD said.
Whatever the problem, the car was well off the highway, its four-way hazard lights were flashing and the driver was strapped in when the CHAN family's Lexus smashed into its rear at around 12: 45 p.m.
"He was doing everything we tell people to do," Constable WOODFORD said.
"He was belted in his car, but when someone's doing 110 and they hit you from the rear, what happens is the airbag's not going to go off."
Instead a type of whiplash took place, with the driver jolted forward and then backward, with such force that his seat was loosened from its moorings.
Autopsies on the two victims were under way.
Driver fatigue causing death or injury is more common than sometimes realized, said Constable WOODFORD, a traffic veteran who has encountered many such instances in the often-hectic summertime commute to and from cottage country.
Separately but also on Hwy. 401, two people were charged with impaired driving Sunday night in a pair of collisions.
When emergency crews were called to a spot near Renforth Drive for a car accident, one of the drivers was found to have fled the scene. Police pursued a suspect, caught him and charged him with impaired driving.
But as firefighters were attending the accident scene, another car crashed into their fire truck.
That driver was charged with impaired driving. He also sustained serious injuries.
"We've got two separate collisions here in the span of a half an hour involving alcohol," Constable WOODFORD said.
"There's far too many people dying on the highways. Enough is enough."

TRIMMER, Ruth
Spiritual adventurer, gourmet vegetarian cook, film Connoisseur, beloved partner, cherished friend. Born January 1, 1945, in Buffalo. Died March 1 in Toronto following cardiac arrest, aged 63.
By Carol LATIMER, Cindy MIFSUD, Clara CHAN, Dorothea HUDEC and Liz YEIGH, Page L6
Ruth was born on New Year's Day, and for the rest of her life she embraced new beginnings with enthusiasm.
She and her older brother, David, were preacher's kids, born to Ellen McKay TRIMMER and Rev. Vincent TRIMMER. Growing up in a strict Baptist household had its challenges for Ruth. All her life she was both a spiritual seeker and a rebel.
Ruth once claimed she'd been a member of nearly every major religion on earth, and probably a cult or two, but there was nothing superficial about her search for meaning. She lived as she believed, at one time giving up a comfortable job to become a mother's helper to a single parent with two autistic children.
Her career eventually took her to the Ontario public service, where her work in probation and then policy expressed her belief that people were essentially good and should be helped, not punished. She felt intense empathy for anyone who suffered.
Ruth came home in every sense of the word when she met Jean DEETH. She became an important part of the Deeth family, and also stayed connected to her brother David and his children and grandchildren in the United States.
Ruth and Jean shared 25 years of travel, summers at the cottage on Oak Lake, Ontario, and movie-watching each September at the Toronto International Film Festival. They gave fabulous dinner parties, cooking vegetarian meals that impressed their most carnivorous Friends. Their beloved dogs were their delight, and Ruth defended even their worst behaviour. Maggie wasn't a biter - she had "high prey instincts."
When Ruth was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, she responded with her characteristic courage and intelligence. She researched everything and sent around her chemo schedules so Friends would know when she was up for a dinner party and when she wanted someone to go to chemo with her. When she got a clean bill of health in 2004, she and Jean threw a huge party.
Her experience with cancer led her back to school, studying for her master of arts in ministry and spirituality at Regis College at the University of Toronto, and training as a pastoral counsellor and spiritual adviser. An intern at Toronto's Christian Counselling Services, she described counselling clients as the most fulfilling work she had ever known.
Ruth's unexpected death came as a shock. We will miss her infectious grin, her wild taste in shirts and, most of all, her exuberant and contagious excitement and satisfaction with life. We were so lucky to have known her.
Carol LATIMER, Cindy MIFSUD, Clara CHAN, Dorothea HUDEC and Liz YEIGH are Ruth's Friends.
