FRASCATI-
LOCHHEAD, Rev. Dr. Marta (formerly
DERRA, née
FRASCATI)
Marta is predeceased by her father Piero
FRASCATI, and her husbands
Walter DERRA and David Morgan
LOCHHEAD.
She is survived by her
daughter Francesca
DERRA, mother Nicla
FRASCATI, sister Liana
SAMMARTINO, and brother Pier Luigi
FRASCATI.
Marta was born in Livorno, Italy on April 16th 1953. In Livorno,
she received her Diploma in Education at the Instituto Magistrale.
She received further training in Education at the Faculty of
Pedagogy of the University of Florence. Marta followed her family
and immigrated to Canada with her daughter in 1975. After a number
of years spent in Alaska, she and her daughter settled in Vancouver
in 1984. Marta studied at the Vancouver School of Theology, where
she received a Master of Divinity in 1988. In that same year
she joined the United Church of Canada, following a strong call
to the ministry. In 1990 she received a Master of Theology. In
1991 she was ordained minister. In 1994, she received a doctorate
in the Philosophy of Religion from the University of McGill in
Montreal.
Marta served a number of parishes in the church. She served as
minister on Gabriola Island, British Columbia, and
in Howick,
Quebec. Most recently she had served as the Westminster Pastoral
Charge in The Pas, Manitoba. Marta had also been the Director
of Pastoral Care at Fair Haven United Church Homes in Burnaby
and Vancouver, and was recently the Corrections Chaplain in The
Pas. Marta had also been a professor of Theology at St. Andrew's
College, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
All through her life, Marta remained close to her Catholic spirituality.
In the later years, Marta returned to the Catholic Communion.
Marta believed that she had received a great gift to be able
to know in depth two great traditions like the Catholic and the
Protestant. She believed in Ecumenicism.
Ut Omnes Unum Sit
That All Become One
Words cannot express the profound effect she had on the lives
of many people. She was adored, beloved, and cherished. She was
an intelligent, passionate, thoughtful and generous person. She
had the most beautiful smile and infectious laugh. Marta will
be deeply missed by her Friends and colleagues, but especially
by her family and her devoted and loving daughter, Francesca.
She will not be forgotten and will be in our hearts and minds
forever.
She died at 6: 10 p.m. on March 7, 2008 after a six year struggle
with ovarian cancer. Her funeral will be held at Sacred Heart
Church in Ladner, British Columbia on Wednesday, March 12th at
10: 00 a.m., Fr. Michael Martell and Rev. Brian Burke presiding.

FRASER,
James
Kenneth▲ "
Ken▲"
Friday, December 14 a funeral service was held to celebrate the
96 year life of James Kenneth
FRASER.
Ken▲ passed away suddenly
at Grey Gables, Markdale on December 11 with his wife of 71 years,
Elva, by his side.
Ken was born on Lot 36, Concession 9 of Proton Township, September 4,
1911. He was the fourth
son of James A.
FRASER and Elizabeth
WALTON, brother of Albert, Jack, Mel and Lena
McQUARRIE, who
have predeceased him. Ken attended S.S.#10 school and went on
to graduate from King Edward High School in Dundalk. He married
Elva HENDRY, daughter of William
HENDRY and Emma
PALLISTER on
September 12, 1936 and took over the farm where he was born.
Ken and Elva raised four children, Maxine, Margaret, Don and
Harvey. In 1973 they retired from farming and moved to Dundalk.
In 2003 Ken and Elva moved to Grey Gables, where Ken enjoyed
the community of residents and care people there.
Ken was truly a man of the soil, he began farming, ploughing
the fields with a one and two furrow plough and horses. He purchased
his first tractor in 1945, with his father-in-law. During his
time of farming he saw many changes. There was nothing fairer
to Ken than a clean field of grain waving in the wind or a new
born calf frolicking in the pasture, (especially if it was a
shorthorn). His passion was farming, and he loved the land and
took pride in what he could do with it. When he left the farm
Ken worked for Gohcon, a farm tilling company, for a few years
and found this enjoyable as he still worked with the land and
had a chance to see many farms of the area. His vegetable garden
and his roses were his pride and joy during his retirement time
in Dundalk and kept him busy, when he wasn't lawn bowling, in
the summertime.
Ken enjoyed a game of cards and was a regular visitor to the
little card room in Dundalk. He was noted for introducing the
euchre game pepper to Grey Gables. Ken took great interest in
what was going on in the world and faithfully read the newspapers
and watched the news. Quite often reminding his family of what
was up in politics and clueing them in on things they should
be aware of. He was always standing up for the agriculture community,
even in the last three weeks of his life, when he took up the
torch, that they should have butter on the tables at Grey Gables.
So with a petition he went the rounds of the residents and staff
and made a presentation to administration. It was received and
butter was put on the tables. Ken being who he was went one step
further and wrote a letter to Gay Lea congratulating them on
their 50th anniversary, and of course informed them of what he
had done at Grey Gables. He also made note that he had been on
the United Dairy and Poultry Board which was the beginning of
Gay Lea. A week after his passing a package came from Gay Lea
with four pounds of butter and a 50th anniversary limited edition
of a Gay Lea truck. This was Ken
FRASER to the end.
Ken devoted not only his time to farm and family, but to his
community and his church. He served 11 years as a director of
the Dundalk Agricultural Society and a term as president, and
was 4-H Calf Club leader during that time. One of his proudest
moments of his later years was opening the 150th Anniversary
of Dundalk Fair in 2005. He was a director on the Dundalk Co-Op,
and a director on the Grey County Hog Producers. Ken was a trustee
on Proton Township School Board, and seven years on Proton Township
Council. He attended Knox Presbyterian Church at Ventry where
he served on the board of managers, and also served as an elder
of Erskine Presbyterian Church, Dundalk. After moving to Grey
Gables, Ken was active on the residence council.
Rev. Mark DAVIDSON, minister of Erskine Church and Rev. John
HOGERWAARD, former minister of Erskine, officiated at the service
in Erskine Presbyterian Church, Dundalk. Service commenced with
Psalm 100, a Psalm of thanksgiving. Hymns sang were "All the
Way My Saviour Leads Me", "And Can It Be That I Should Gain"
and "Beyond the Sunset". Scripture read by granddaughter Christine
BUTLER was Psalm 23, 1st Corinthians 15: 55-57 and
Romans 8:35-39.
Rev. John HOGERWAARD gave a meditation "A Living Hope" that Hope
being through Jesus Christ, and Him alone. Memories were given
by grandchildren Shawn
WALTER,
Brent
FRASER and son Harvey
FRASER.
Rob SCOTT, grand_son, sang "In the Bulb There is a Flower." Pallbearers
were grand_sons, Brent
FRASER,
Shawn
WALTER, Richard
FRASER, Rob
SCOTT, grand_son-in-law Henry
REINDERS and great-grand_son Mark
REINDERS.
Flowerbearers were granddaughters, Christine
BUTLER,
Shelley KRAUTH,
Shirley
REINDERS and Julie
BARRETT.
Ken leaves behind his wife
Elva, daughters Maxine (Bob)
SCOTT
and Margaret (Ray)
WALTER and sons Don (Cay)
FRASER and Harvey
(Terry) FRASER, nine grandchildren, predeceased by one, and nine
great-grandchildren.
The many people who paid their respects at the time of Ken's
passing would have been received with great appreciation by Ken.
He was among a generation that there are few remaining. And many
of them who have been great examples of lives well spent no matter
what the challenge was before them. Harvey
FRASER, youngest of
the family, summed it all up when he said "Dad, you were one
of a kind, and you leave big footsteps to follow".

LINKLATER,
Harold▲
Fraser▲
Harold Fraser
LINKLATER was born on October 1, 1917 in Teeswater,
Ontario to Harvey and Gladys (née Mason
FRASER)
LINKLATER. He
was the oldest of three brothers. Until his death all four of
them were still living - I'm sure that is a record for four brothers
who had survived World War 2. Harold died at 90 and all his brothers
are in their 80s. His great-grandparents arrived in Canada from
the Orkneys in Scotland in 1852 and some of his great-uncles
had come to Canada with the Hudson's Bay Company. The family
moved to Kincardine in August 1929 when his father Harvey bought
the furniture store and funeral home from W.H.A.
MORRISON. He
worked helping his father from age 12, but really started that
career in 1935 when he finished Grade 12. In 1937-38 he took
courses at the Banting Institute and General Hospital in Toronto.
At 19 he got his license as an undertaker but couldn't use it
until he was 21. He married Nora Elizabeth
DIMOND on November 20,
1940. In May 1940 he had joined the Canadian army. He went into
Officer training in Brockville and between 1940 to 1943 he was
stationed in Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia. In World
War 2 he went overseas in June 1944 before the invasion of France
and stayed there until the fall of 1946. He was in the 19th Self-Propelled
Regiment. He was a Captain by the time the war ended. His daughter
Elizabeth Ann was born in 1949 and son John Douglas in 1951.
He was a Rover Scout and became a cub and scout leader. He was
on the Kincardine Public School Board for 10 years, belonged
to the Rotary Club, the Kinsmen, the Masonic Lodge and was president
of the Chamber of Commerce for two years and received an award.
In 1970 he was chairman of the Old Boy's and Girls Reunion Committee
and won the award of Citizen of the Year. He cherished the silver
tray that he was given to him with that inscription. The award
was reported in the London Free Press. Ballots were received
from as far away as Michigan and from across the province. It
was the largest number of ballots at that time and 70 percent
voted for him. His pride and joy was the cottage he built on
Crab Cove near Red Bay. He bought the lakefront property in 1952
for $350 and in 1953 he and his neighbour Ed
HAGEDORN put up
the frame. He worked both at the Linklater Funeral Home and the
Linklater Furniture Store. From 1966 to 1974 he owned and operated
the funeral business by himself. In 1974 at age 57 he sold the
Funeral business although he helped the new owner in the summers
for 4-5 years afterwards. In 1974 he and Nora bought a place
in Lakeland, Florida and started going there in the winters in
1975. Nora died on his birthday, October 1, 1988 after a 48-year
marriage. He married Helen Emma
HAYES (née
COULSON) of Saint Thomas
and Lakeland, Florida on July 22 1989. He and Helen lived at
the cottage until September 2000 and
in Owen Sound since then.
They wintered in Lakeland until 1995 when Harold got cancer of
the jaw. He survived that as he did a heart attack, strokes,
blindness, and several operations. He was tenacious and had a
tremendous will to live through all of these ailments until April 2008
when he accepted he was failing. Perhaps being a funeral director
had given him this will to live because he had to live with death
around him for so many years. Harold is survived by his beloved
wife Helen, his daughter Elizabeth (Liza) and her husband James
TROTTIER of Manila, Philippines, his son Douglas (Doug) of Red
Bay, his grandchildren Jesse and Dane of Barrie, his brothers
Ken (and Reita) of Kincardine, Bryce (and Alma) of Jarvis and
Gordon (and Joan) of Toronto, and his former daughter-in-law,
Dianne LINKLATER of Kincardine; his step-family Helen (and Bert)
WRAY of Durham and their children Marla (and Lee)

of Brampton, Donald
FINDLAY (and Teresa) of Campbell River, British
Columbia and William

CARSEN,
Clementine
Ruth (née
NAHM)
(Sunday December 29th, 1918-Sunday April 6th, 2008)
In her 89th year, suddenly, after a brief stay in hospital, from
lung disease. Clementine leaves behind her husband Walter, daughter
Johanni and son Robert. Clementine immigrated to Canada with
her parents from Mannheim, Germany, shortly before World War
2. She adjusted to a new way of life, set to work in several
capacities, married, and was instrumental in helping her husband
to build up his new business (W. Carsen Co). She later worked
as a very active member of the Volunteer Committee of the Art
Rental Department of the Art Gallery of Ontario, of which she
was a Founder Member. But it was her discovery of yoga which
completely altered her life. She became a remarkable teacher,
and her gentleness combined with her intuition and generosity
made her a much loved teacher, first in Toronto, then at the
Prem Anandham Ashram in Beaverton, Ontario and in more recent
years in Naples, Florida, where her classes were always full
to overflowing. She donated the proceeds of her teaching to charity,
which was always an important part of her life. Clementine was
a devoted wife and mother, and a loving, concerned friend. She
had a wonderful sense of humour, boundless curiosity and genuine
interest in others. She will be greatly missed by everyone that
she met. Her family is grateful to her many Friends who gave
her so much love and support in recent years and especially during
the 3 weeks she spent in hospital. Particular thanks go to Doctor Weaver
and the medical and nursing staff at the Physicians Regional
Medical
Centre in Naples, Florida, and also to Doctor Michael
BENTLEY-
TAILOR/TAYLOR
and Doctor Ian
FRASER at the Toronto East General Hospital. Her
family would also like to thank her wonderful spiritual guide
Arundhati STEINMEISTER and her dear friend Lianne DI
ROCCO for
helping her through her brief illness. Memorial services will
be held at a later date in Toronto, Ontario; Naples, Florida
and also in Europe. Please email: jcarsen@sympatico.ca to be
kept informed. Clementine's wish was for her life to be celebrated,
not mourned. If you would like to do so by making a donation

he joined the Department of Education at Queen's Park. This was
followed by another promotion to Regional Superintendent centred
in North Bay where his responsibilities included all school systems
from kindergarten to grade 13 in the North Eastern area of the
Province. He was honoured to have a new school in Matheson named
after him. He was also pleased to contribute in its formative
years to Nipissing University in North Bay where he served on
its first Board of Governors. In retirement years (38 of them)
Joe and Peggy spent some of their best times at their cottage
on Eagle Lake in the Sundridge and South River areas of Parry
Sound District. He will be remembered for many things…his integrity,
reliability, honesty, sense of humour, love of his family and
more than anything else… he was a gentleman. The family would

FRASER,
Mary "
Betty"
Passed away peacefully at Elginwood Nursing Home on Sunday, May 18,
2008, in her 89th year. Betty was predeceased by her husband
Larder FRASER, a well known Cape Breton municipal councillor,
in 1973. She was the beloved and loving mother of Elaine and
Ross, and she used all her formidable strength and wit to establish
them in life and then, in retirement, inspire them with her diverse
cultural interests, her financial management skills and, in recent
times, her tenacity in the face of chronic pain. She learned
to speak French as a retirement project, painted poignant watercolours
of children and 'old faces,' as she called her portraits of older
people, and bottled classic preserves such as her famous corn
relish. Earlier, as a school teacher, she inspired a generation
of students at Riverview Rural High School in Cape Breton, where
she taught for nearly 20 years; she had the talent of being the
firm, nononsense teacher who truly cared, and students became
devoted to her. Before retiring, she completed her university
degree by taking classes part time at the University College
of Cape Breton. Funeral services will be held at Marshall Funeral
Home, 10366 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill (4th traffic light north
of Major MacKenzie) on Thursday May 22 at 11 a.m. At her request,
Betty will be buried in Cape Breton. A funeral service will therefore
also be held in Betty's home town of Sydney, Nova Scotia at the

ATKIN,
John
Hamilton "
Jack"
Born August 12, 1928 in Leamington, Ontario; died peacefully
on May 19, 2008 in his 80th year, exactly 10 days after accepting
the news of the extent of his cancer with courage and dignity
- the same realistic way he dealt with every other challenge
he faced throughout his life, particularly during his last few
years with limited mobility and multiple health issues (to quote
him, this was just another 'curve ball'). He was surrounded during
his last days by love, family, Friends, music, and of course,
Flowers. Needless to say, he was telling jokes right up to his
last hours of consciousness. He was much loved and will be missed
by his children Greg and Carolyn
ATKIN,
Jay and
Mary
Maureen
ATKIN, Virginia
ATKIN and Keith
AMBACHTSHEER, and Jacqui
ATKIN
and Laurie
FRASER; his grandchildren Melissa
ATKIN and Mike
RYAN,
Sean and Lori
ATKIN and Peter
AMBACHTSHEER. He was also very
close to and will be missed by his sisters Jane
JOHNSON,
Bette
SHARPE and Ruth
STOREY.
There are also numerous nieces and nephews
who lovingly remember their Uncle Jack, cousins, a multitude
of Friends, and a brother Bill. Predeceased by his parents Edward
and Edith
(JACKSON)
ATKIN, his step-mother Agatha
(WILSON)
ATKIN
his brother Don
ATKIN, his brothers-in-law, far too many Friends,
and his soulmate, Mary
(ROBERTSON)
BLAIR, with whom he is now
reunited. Always a visionary, Jack was a pioneer in the growing,
mass marketing and distribution of flowers throughout his career.
He was one of the first flower producers to introduce the sale
of potted plants and cut flowers to major food chains and department
stores. In carrying on the family business that his father started
(Atkin's Flowers, then Yoder-Atkin), he advanced the year-round
propagation and sale of chrysanthemum cuttings to North American
markets, and was a great believer in plant breeders' rights.
His innovation for packaging and distribution led the way for
the success that exists in today's flower industry. He also started
the direct sales business at Ontario Flower Growers. Known as
'Action Jackson', he was also an avid volunteer in numerous organizations
- he was one of the founders of the Cecil Delworth Foundation
and the Canadian Ornamental Plant Foundation, a strong supporter
of Flowers Canada and The Canadian Horticulture Council, and
served on the Board of the Royal Winter Fair when they introduced
the flower show into the annual program. Jack has always been
recognized by the flower industry of North America and has been
given many awards for his contributions over the years. He was
also involved in building the Leamington District Memorial Hospital
in the 1950s. His interests included having the best garden in
town, curling, Kinsmen, tennis, barbershop singing, playing cards,
scotch, dancing (even in his wheelchair) and more recently being
a Claremont Calendar guy! Jack was always proud of the lifelong
Friendships he made along the way with so many people, including
his colleagues, most of his clients, and his competitors. His
life was about 'caring and sharing'. He will be remembered by
his 'power of positive thinking' approach to life, his loyalty
and Friendship, the flowers he always had for everyone, and his
lifelong ambition to make people smile. Jack's family is very
grateful to Lynn
WEBSTER,
Natalie
COPPOLINO and the entire Staff
of The Claremont Retirement Residence for making the last few
years of his life so happy (and the Residents, too); to Doctor Mary
GOSPODAROWICZ of The Princess Margaret Hospital, and Dianne
WILLIAMS
and all of the very special Palliative Care Nurses at Saint Michael's
Hospital for their care and compassion in easing the pain for
Dad, and helping his family through this last part of his journey
Dr. Gary MAY and the Gastro-Intestinal Team at Saint Michael's
Hospital as well as Doctor Carmen
MUELLER and Doctor Catherine
WONG.
Arrangements handled by The Simple Alternative Funeral Centre,
North York. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Old Mill,
21 Old Mill Road, Toronto on Tuesday, June 17 at 3: 00 p.m. While
there will definitely be flowers, we ask that those interested
in making a donation to remember Jack do so either to The Princess
Margaret Hospital Foundation, 610 University Avenue, Toronto,
