KEHOE, Michael Patrick
It is with great sadness the family of Michael Patrick KEHOE announces his passing, Thursday May 15, 2008 at the Red Lake Hospital after a brief illness (brain tumour). Michael was born and raised in Chatham, Ontario. At the young age of 19 he joined the Ontario Provincial Police and was first posted to Petrolia, Ontario In January 1974. Several years after arriving in Petrolia Mike met Kimberly TROMBLEY and they were married in Sarnia in October of 1978. Soon after (1981) Mike and Kim transferred to Northern Ontario (Ear Falls) where he spent most of his career, retiring from the Red Lake Detachment in January 2004. Mike was his happiest tromping through the bush whether he was hunting, fishing, trapping prospecting, or looking for some obscure lake he had seen on a map. He was a devout family man, helping to raise his two children Matthew (1985) and Gina (1987) both born in Red Lake, Ontario. Michael put the needs of his children and family before anything else, and was quite content to sit with a child on each knee watching cartoons. Michael leaves to mourn his passing his wife and best friend Kimberly, his two children, Matthew (Janelle) and Gina (Brian) his brothers and sisters Patrick KEHOE (Anne), Katherine LETWIN (William), Tim KEHOE (Kim) Joanne WEST (John) Mother-in-law Mary TROMBLEY, Sister-in-law Carol BUSS (Pat), brother-in-laws Michael TROMBLEY (Gail), Rod TROMBLEY (Stacey) and many nieces and nephews.

Michael will be sadly missed by his many Friends in the Ontario Provincial Police and all his Friends at the 'Round Table' from the Howey Bay where he met daily for an early morning coffee or two. A funeral service was held at the Royal Canadian Legion Wednesday May 21st with Reverend Doug GRIEG officiating. Interment followed at the Red Lake Cemetery.

GRIEVE, Amy Elizabeth
Mother, traveller, teacher, astute investor. Born June 4, 1906, in Tyendinaga Township, Ontario Died June 20 in London, Ontario, of old age, aged 101.
By Doug ENGLISH, Page L6
Amy GRIEVE never needed a computer: She had a built-in one. In a brain that kept ticking almost to the end, she stored, among other things, the birthdays and wedding anniversaries of every member of her extended family. Hallmark must have fattened its bottom line on her bulk card purchases. And each card contained a gift of money.
Unusually tiny when born, Amy never did top five feet. But she confounded the prediction of the doctor who delivered her that she wouldn't live more than a year.
A sheaf of yellowing certificates unearthed after her death attests to her abilities - honours at everything from the Royal Conservatory of Music to business and teachers' colleges.
Amy started teaching elementary school in Trout Lake, near Bancroft, Ontario, but a few years later switched schools to Northern Ontario. Stepping off the train in Tomiko, north of North Bay, she was spotted by Elliott GRIEVE, a railway telegrapher. He subsequently wooed and wed her.
They lived up and down the Ontario Northland railway line. One stop was Cobalt, where, during the Second World War, Amy founded a Finnish Red Cross chapter. This was testimony to her organizational abilities, as she hadn't a drop of Finnish blood. It became the highest-producing branch in town.
Widowed at 50, with a car and a small insurance policy as her only assets, Amy made enough money buying and selling houses and investing in mortgages to help put two daughters through university and send a third to private school.
While one daughter attended college, Amy and a three-year-old grand_son lived and travelled in Mexico and the United States, satisfying one of Amy's great loves - travel.
She often wintered alone in Guadalajara, Mexico, and had no qualms about borrowing from the bank if need be to finance trips to Europe, including the last transatlantic crossing of the Polish liner Stefan Batory.
When macular degeneration put an end to bridge and euchre games, Amy joined the London Public Library's talking books program and taught herself to knit afghans by touch alone.
At 99, she was still doing her own cooking and household chores in a home she shared with a daughter and son-in-law. By then, hearing problems prevented her from using talking books, but she exercised her prodigious memory and computer-like brain by trying to recall the names of all the pupils in her Grade 4 class and calculating the compound interest on a five-year Guaranteed Investment Certificate in her head.
Doug ENGLISH is Amy's son-in-law.

'No evidence' alarms worked in burnt home
The death of another child raises to five the number who died in the Hamilton fire.
By Canadian Press, Mon., March 3, 2008
Hamilton -- As the death toll following a devastating blaze inside a single family west Hamilton home early Saturday climbed to five, new information has surfaced that suggests the human tragedy may have been averted had there been working smoke detectors inside.
A day after the blaze that claimed the lives of a 22-year-old mother, her three young daughters and a 19-year-old male resident, fire investigators say they've found "no evidence" to show there were functioning fire alarms or smoke detectors inside.
Noting this is the fourth fatal fire in Ontario this weekend alone and that eight people have died, Pierre YELLE of the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office said it's time people get the hint.
"The Ontario Fire Marshal's Office urges everyone to have smoke alarms properly installed inside their homes and ensure they are in proper working order," he said.
"Smoke alarms are obviously very valuable because they create an opportunity for you to escape."
YELLE said families also need to devise an escape plan so they know what to do in the event of a fire emergency.
Investigators have identified the victims of Saturday's blaze as 22-year-old Melissa DENHOLLANDER and her daughters Emma DENHOLLANDER- HANIGAN, 4, Ella, 2, and Alana, 1.
YELLE said Ella had been evacuated and placed on life support in hospital immediately after the blaze but later succumbed to her injuries.
The body of a 19-year-old male, whose name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, was discovered in the living room after firefighters brought the blaze under control.
DENHOLLANDER's 28-year-old boyfriend, Richard GRIFFIN, remains at the Hamilton General where he's recovering from burns and smoke inhalation, while a 20-year-old female has been released from hospital after treatment.
YELLE said investigators are still trying to determine the origin, cause and circumstances of the blaze.

DANYLKIW, Mary Ann (née NOLAN)
Suddenly in Oakville, on July 1, 2008, after a fall in her 82nd year.
Mary was pre-deceased by her beloved husband of 55 years, Mike, and two of her sons, Christopher and Michael and all of her brothers and sisters, May, Patricia, Paddy and John NOLAN and Nora GRIFFIN.
She is dearly missed by her sons John (Brenda) and Brian DANYLKIW, her daughter Anne-Marie WILSON and her grandchildren: Victoria, Michelle, Lauren, Katherine, Caitlin and Esme. She is survived as well by her many nieces and nephews.
Mary grew up in Outremont, Quebec, the last child of Philip and Mary Teresa NOLAN, and moved to St. Laurent with her husband. Their incredible journey of love together took them around the world, but they lived in Rosemere, Quebec, Toronto and then Brampton, Ontario after which they retired to the Saanich peninsula on Vancouver Island in British Columbia where they were both devoted to their Friends and neighbours and deeply involved with the parish of St. Elizabeth's Church in Sidney. When Mike passed away in 2003, Mary's health became more fragile and she eventually joined the Sunrise community in Victoria, British Columbia and later came to the Sunrise residence in Oakville in October 2006. While Mary's health continued a slow decline, she was still very active in the Sunrise community, making many Friends and keeping everyone on their toes. Mary will be missed by all.
The family wants to thank the many dedicated, compassionate caregivers and staff at Sunrise, all of whom worked as a team to provide Mom with the closest thing to home, particularly Alma, Sara, Sabah, Henrietta, Makeba and Vanda, who went above and beyond to make Mom's last two years as comfortable and as energizing as possible. As well, the family also wishes to express their deepest thanks to Doctor Helen Pyle for her constant care, assistance and patience.
A funeral service will be held on Friday, July 18th at 11: 00 a.m. at Saint Michael's Roman Catholic Church, 181 Sewell Drive (905-844-7971) in Oakville. Memories can be shared at amjwilson@sympatico.ca and bdanylkiw@rogers.com. Donations to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation would be gratefully accepted. A private family interment will take place later this summer.
