GROOME, Agnes Jean (née MILLS)
Passed away peacefully at Saint_Joseph's Hospital in Toronto on May 30, 2008. She was born November 5, 1918 on the family farm near Fleming, Saskatchewan. Eldest daughter of Sam and Isabelle MILLS, Agnes was predeceased by her husband Leslie Jaquest GROOME, her parents, her sister Ivy SMITH, brothers-in-law Paul GROOME, Al SMITH, Bob SMITH, and sister-in-law Iris MILLS. She is survived by her brother Reuben MILLS, her sister Isabelle MILLS, daughters Jean COOPERBERG (Peter), Ruth KURTZ, Mary KAINER (Michael), seven grandchildren Ruthie SHUGARMAN (Danny,) Michael COOPERBERG, Daniel KURTZ (Martina SORBARA), Thiago KURTZ (Andrea BREEN), Anton KAINER, Leah KAINER and Lindsay KAINER, and her 3 great-grandchildren Talia and Cooper SHUGARMAN and Francesca KURTZ. Also important to her were nieces Gae MILLER, Vivian PALSSON, Ariel GROOME and nephews Alan MILLS and Byron MILLS (deceased) and their families. Dr. Reverend Agnes GROOME was a woman of remarkable energy and organizational skills. An accomplished educator and minister, she was highly educated, earning seven degrees in seven decades (B.A., B.Ed., B.Div., M.A., M.Ed., Ph.D., M.Div.). Involved in life-long learning, she took her last course at the University of Regina at the age of 88. Her teaching positions included Central Collegiate (Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan), Martin and Sheldon Williams Collegiate (Regina, Saskatchewan), University of Regina, and University of Toronto. Her church postings included mission fields in rural Saskatchewan, Saint_James United Church (Regina), Grace Church in Moose Jaw, St. Andrew's (Toronto), Silverthorne (Toronto), and a short locum in Ft. Qu'appelle. A woman ahead of her time, St. Andrew's College refused her ordination and her name was struck from the roster of graduates because she had married and was expecting her first child. Agnes always took a leadership role in community organizations including the Young Women's Christian Association, United Nations Association, University Women's Club, Health Research Board, Saskatchewan Pension Committee, New Democratic Party (candidate in Wascana), plus many church positions including Sunday School Superintendent, Elder (first female in position at Lakeview United Church). Agnes was honoured to have been appointed by the government of Saskatchewan to the Cluff Lake Inquiry into uranium development. As recent as two years ago, Agnes embarked on a project to have stained glass windows honouring women in the Bible installed in Lakeview United Church. As part of her dedication to education in Saskatchewan, Agnes established several scholarship funds at the University of Regina in the names of her husband Les GROOME, her brother-in-law Paul GROOME, her parents Sam and Isabelle, and plus made a generous donation to the University of Regina establishing the Groome family fellowship in health research. Agnes and Les were a remarkable team; through all their studies, travels, and endeavours they loved and supported each other. Agnes was a true matriarch in her family. She was the driving force behind family projects; everyone was expected to be onboard and involved. She could do anything and did -- wire a home, build a stone fence, shingle a roof, install floors and siding, build furniture, sew, even bake 12 pies at a time. Agnes tackled everything with passion, including stamp collecting, family tree research (four volumes), and land development. Foreign travels were opportunities to study history and were fodder for lectures. Widowed at 62, she then earned a new degree, and embarked on a new career in a new city. Beloved by her grandchildren, she encouraged them in all their varied interests. Later in life she took great pleasure in building a new home (at age 80) and planting 900 perennials on Pasqua Lake. She knew Canada well as she moved many times: from Fleming to Brandon, Saskatoon, Regina, Dunnville, Guelph, Clinton, Vancouver, Moose Jaw, Regina, and Toronto. Funeral will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2008, 2 p.m., at Wesley United Church, 3913 Hillsdale Street, Regina. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, June 4, 6-7: 30 p.m. at Speers Funeral Chapel 2136 College Avenue, Regina. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sam and Bella Mills Scholarship, University of Regina.

George GROSS, 85: Journalist
Czech refugee became founding sports editor of the Toronto Sun
By F.F. LANGAN, Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S11
Toronto -- George GROSS was one of only four reporters who covered the Toronto Maple Leafs full-time when the team last won the Stanley Cup in 1967. He worked for the old Toronto Telegram the others reported for The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and Hockey Night in Canada.
It meant the reporters, the players and the coach all came to know each other well. Mr. GROSS said he had the home phone numbers of the coach and players and, if he wanted, he could call them all at midnight. When the Leafs won the cup he and another sportswriter were given commemorative Stanley Cup rings.
The closeness also meant reporting could turn into cheerleading. Even so, Mr. GROSS could not be kept in the hip pocket of George (Punch) Imlach, the coach.
"Imlach blows last night's hockey game" was the gist of a headline in the Telegram sports section, Mr. GROSS told a writer for the Ryerson Review of Journalism two years ago.
"You didn't have to be that rough on me," Mr. Imlach said to him the next day.
"Punch Imlach knew we had to do a job," recalled Mr. GROSS. "We couldn't prostitute ourselves. If the team played lousy, we said it."
Nicknamed The Baron because of his European background, he was born in the former state of Czechoslovakia but fled the Communist regime there in 1949. He and friend, saying they were practising their rowing on the Danube, made their escape to Austria in a small boat. Eventually, he made it to Canada on more conventional transportation and first found work as a labourer.
In Czechoslovakia, he had worked as a sports reporter and he restarted his career in Toronto as soon as he had mastered English. He first performed freelance work for the Toronto Telegram, and was finally given a full-time job there as a sports reporter in 1959. The paper folded in October, 1971, and from its ashes arose the Toronto Sun. In the process, Mr. GROSS became the new paper's founding sports editor.
Interestingly, he had also received a job offer from the Montreal Star. The sports editor, Red Fisher, told him the new tabloid wouldn't last three months. Instead, it was the Star that folded a few years later.
As sports editor of the Sun, Mr. GROSS travelled the world covering sports events. One of his favourites was tennis. A keen player all his life, he covered Wimbledon at least 12 times according to his wife, Elizabeth. One tournament he missed was the 1972 hockey series between the Soviet Union and Canada. He had been tipped off that the Russians might hand him over to the Czech secret police if he went to Moscow. At the time, he was in Stockholm covering some Canadian exhibition games and preparing to go to Moscow.
"I don't scare easily, but I don't profess to be dumb," he later said. He returned home to watch the series on television.
In 1986, Mr. GROSS retired as sports editor but kept on writing. With the job title of corporate sports editor, he continued to cover a succession of events. In recent years he had was responsible for producing a soccer column, a notebook column and a Sunday column every week.
Like many people from central Europe, Mr. GROSS mastered more than one language (he spoke German, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian and some Russian) but never lost his accent while speaking English. "That was part of the Baron persona," said his son, George. "My father lived a very full life. He always said he wanted to work until the end, and the only way he wanted to go out was suddenly."
Mr. GROSS was a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame, and a recipient of the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award from the Hockey Hall of Fame. He also held the Order of Ontario and was awarded the Olympic Order by the International Olympic Committee.
George GROSS, was born on January 23, 1923, in Bratislava. He died of a heart attack in Toronto on March, 21, 2008. He was 85. He leaves his wife, Elizabeth, his son, George, and daughter Elizabeth.

SABLE, Samuel J.
Husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, philanthropist, businessman. Born November 9, 1912, in Zhitomir, Ukraine. Died March 14 in Toronto of cancer, aged 95.
By Karen GROSS, Page L8
On the day Samuel J. SABLE was buried in Toronto, a package arrived at our door in San Diego.
It was addressed to our son, Gabriel, whose birthday was just days away. As though he was still alive, the big brown envelope contained the same gift that Sam had been sending to his children, grandchildren (and their spouses) and great-grandchildren every year, since anyone could remember: State of Israel bond certificates and a birthday card.
Although the card had to have been written just days before his death, the penmanship was clearly Sam SABLE's. The gift inside - an enduring symbol of the long, generous and relentless life he lived.
Relentless is the word his son Martin suggested to most aptly describe his father. Sam would never let go - not as head of the family, not in a business situation and never while pursuing someone for a charitable commitment.
As a young adult, Sam attended the University of Toronto but was forced to quit during the Depression. He got into the wholesale shoe business and later into real estate. He married Jean and they had three children - Marlene, Martin and Heather. Sam became increasingly committed to the endurance of the Jewish community. In 1956, he was part of the first Canadian Jewish mission to Israel. There, he met with David Ben-Gurion in his private home.
Sam spent decades as a real-estate developer and worked almost daily until just months before his death. On Sundays, he'd go over to the club for a swim and a shvitz. Despite his advancing age and a hearing problem, Sam could be seen navigating his trademark Cadillac Seville along the streets of Toronto.
Although physically small, Sam had a booming voice. Sitting in his regular second-row seat at the synagogue, he'd belt out familiar prayers and songs in his own distinctive style - inspiring awe and sometimes terror in generations of Jewish children. At home, that same relentless voice led family Shabbat dinners and Passover Seders for more than half a century.
Sam was progressive. He had a cellphone and used acupuncture. He was a big believer in the value of work, for women as well as men.
Evidence of his existence is everywhere - from the three children, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren he left behind to the many charitable foundations that will flourish in his wake.
At our house, it's in that final birthday card that arrived so appropriately on the day of his funeral. Not even death, it seems, could get in the way of Samuel SABLE's relentless life.
Karen GROSS is married to Sam's grand_son, Jamie SABLE.
