MCINNES/MCINNIS, Hector Macneill, Q.C.
Chester, Nova Scotia (July 26, 1933-March 18, 2008)
It is with great sadness that the McInnes family announces the passing of Hector MCINNES/MCINNIS on Tuesday, March 18, 2008. Born in Halifax, he was the eldest son of the late Donald MCINNES/MCINNIS and Betty (ROWAN- LEGG.) He is survived by his wife, Beverley (SMITH) of 48 years; three sons: David (Julie GROULX,) Ottawa; Robert (Joan CULLUM), Prospect; Andrew (Lesia ETTINGER), Tantallon and eight grand children: Griffin, Kerry, Kesha, Ben, Will, Callie, Rowan and Charlie. He also leaves two brothers, Stewart (Shirley BOWNESS), Halifax; Roderick (Daniele TANGUAY), Toronto; a sister, Ann (Eric RICE) Vancouver; and eleven nieces and nephews and five grand-nieces and grand-nephews. After graduating from Ashbury College in Ottawa, Hector received his Bachelor of Law degree from Dalhousie University and his Master of Laws from Harvard Law School, both with high honours. He was called to the Nova Scotia Bar in September 1957 and began the practice of law with McInnes Cooper as the firm's third generation McInnes. Hector proudly built upon the legacy of his father, Donald MCINNES/MCINNIS, and his grandfather, Hector MCINNES/MCINNIS, for forty years, devoting his whole career to the firm and its clients. Hector was a gifted corporate and commercial lawyer, and his advice was much sought after by companies large and small, local and international in scope. His contribution was significant with his effort spent developing the economic cornerstones of the Province of Nova Scotia. He was appointed Counsel to the firm in 1994. Hector was always an active member of the legal community, as a member of the Canadian Bar Association and the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society. He also contributed his experience to many volunteer organizations, serving as President of the Halifax Young Men's Christian Association, President of Symphony Nova Scotia, Chairman of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and Vice President of Neptune Theatre. Hector served as a director and officer of numerous Canadian corporations. He was a member of St. Matthew's United Church, the Halifax Club, Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, Ashburn Golf Club and Chester Yacht Club. Hector retired to his beloved Chester and spent many recent winters at The St. Andrews Club in Delray Beach, Florida, enjoying his time with family and Friends (and every crossword puzzle and book he could get his hands on). In accordance with Hector's wishes, a private family service will take place with internment at Fairview Cemetery, Halifax. A visitation for Friends and colleagues will be held at the home of Stewart and Shirley MCINNES/MCINNIS, 490 Francklyn Street, Halifax on Saturday, March 22, 2008 from 2: 00-5:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers and in Hector MCINNES/MCINNIS' memory, you may choose to donate to the QE2 Foundation, 5A Nursing Education Fund (Radiation Oncology), 1278 Tower Road, Centennial Building, Room 1 - 040, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3H 2Y9, tel: (902) 473-7932; or the Provincial Autism Centre, 1456 Brenton Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 2K7, tel: (902) 446-4995.

GROVER, Frederic
(June 25, 1920-January 29, 2008)
Frederic passed away peacefully at South Granville Park Lodge on January 29 after three years of battle with vascular dementia. He is survived by his loving family, his wife Marianne and their children Fabrice and Caroline, his two daughters Claire and Eve from his first marriage with Gloria, and by Eve's children Sarah, Rachel, David and Gabriel. Frederic was born in France where he completed his undergraduate studies. From 1941 to 1945 he participated in the French underground during the German occupation. He moved to the United States in 1949 after serving for four years at the rank of captain in the French military government in Berlin. He acquired a Ph.D in Romance Literature in 1954 at Berkeley (university of California). That same year he joined the faculty at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania) as a professor of French Literature. In 1967, he was appointed Professor of French Literature at the University of British Columbia. He was an esteemed and influential teacher of twentieth-century French literature and history and made key contributions to the Honours and Graduate Studies programs. He was also a highly regarded research scholar, internationally recognized for his writings on the political and intellectual history of France pre and post-war era.
Frederic loved simple things -- a swim in the ocean, the trees, long walks in the Normandy countryside, Vancouver's Pacific Spirit Park and beaches, his books, the fireplace, listening to the radio and enjoying good food. Students, Friends and family will remember his soft, warm voice and distinctive, elegant way of speaking, which, along with his unique wit, he kept until the very last days of his life. His family wants to express their deep gratitude to South Granville Park Lodge in Vancouver for their most kind and wonderful care, and especially to Amelita Berretta for the loving care, company and support she gave Frederic during the last four years of his life.
