McINTYRE, Duncan
A special thanks to Doctor ARUNASALAM and the F-Wing nurses and caregivers at the Headwaters Health Care Centre, Orangeville. They went beyond professionalism, by their compassion and care during Duncan's illness and passing. Their warmth and understanding during a very difficult and stressful time will always be remembered. Thanks to family, Friends and neighbours for calls, cards, food brought to our home, beautiful flowers, prayers and visits. All these helped to lift my sad heart and made me realize just how rich Duncan and I were; if all the love from everyone could be measured we would be millionaires. A thank you to the Doney Funeral Home staff for their assistance and direction. The Masonic Lodge No. 449 of Dundalk honored Duncan with a special service Wednesday evening. Reverend TIPPING and Reverend BELLSMITH led a lovely service. My daughter Bonnie PALUBISKI and granddaughter Jennifer FAWCETT gave a lovely eulogy for Duncan. The service was blessed with heavenly songs - "In The Garden" and "On The Wings of a Snow White Dove," sang by angels by the names of Doreen LYON and Alice HIGGINSON. Thank you to the pallbearers - son Kenneth McINTYRE, grand_sons Jason THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, Robert FAWCETT, - David PALUBISKI and nephews Don and Marten McINTYRE. Honorary pallbearers were Rick ZEGGIL, Howard and Mel HANNON and Don GORDON. Thank you to the flowerbearers - grandchildren Tyler THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, Jennifer FAWCETT, Nicole THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON nieces - Patti BERGERON, Wendy GORDON and Kathy MEEKS.
Following a heartfelt funeral service, family, Friends and neighbors gathered for one last meal on Duncan. With thanks to the Shelburne Trinity United Church Women for providing a delicious lunch, where we shared memories and celebrated the life of Duncan Kenneth McINTYRE. The love and support of all have helped to give me strength. I pray God will Bless All for their kindness and generosity. My sincere appreciation and thanks.

HANRAHAN, Doctor Gorman Edward, B.A., B. Sc. (Hon. Chem.) M.D., C.M., PhD
To say that a huge presence has left our lives is to understate the personality and life force of our father and grandfather.
Curious and intelligent with a great sense of humour, Gorman had a love for life that stayed with him till he passed away on March 19th, 2008. After battling pneumonia, his heart simply gave out.
Born in Montreal in 1925, to Marion (née GORMAN) and Edward J. HANRAHAN, Gorman inherited their musical talents, playing both guitar and piano competitively. He attended D'Arcy McGee, Loyola College and McGill, where he graduated in 1951 with an M.D. and a degree in Psychiatry in 1956.
Extremely proud of Gorman's many achievements, the family wants to ensure that Gorman is acknowledged for his work as a psychiatric pioneer in the 1950's. He was one of the first doctors in North America to test, study and describe the action of key anti-psychotic drugs in treating mental illness at the time - notably manic depression and schizophrenia.
Gorman took great pride and satisfaction in this research and firmly believed that these drugs prevented many from having to undergo lobotomies and electric shock treatments of that era and to leave bleak asylums and institutions and in many cases go onto lead normal, progressive lives. (See Pills For the Mind, Time Magazine, March 7th, 1955.)
Gorman was predeceased by his wife of 50 years, Doctor Edythe HANRAHAN, his parents and his sister Patricia LATENDRESSE. He will be greatly missed by his children Patricia (P.K.,) Marnie and Kerry HANRAHAN, their partners, Eric ROTHSCHILD, Dwight GREEN and Terry SHAY/SHEA and his grandchildren Max and Kate ROTHSCHILD. We know that Dan LATENDRESSE, Lori SHEEHAN and Amy FITZPATRICK, his nieces and nephew in the U.S. A his cousin Stanley COATES in Texas, the Santo family in Saskatchewan, and Friends and patients in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa will also greatly mourn his passing.
In keeping with his wishes, no service is planned following a cremation. A memorial celebration will be held in Ottawa on March 29th.
Condolences can be sent to the family via patricia@rothschildco.com Cole Funeral Services, Ottawa.

CLARK, Alexander Barry " Arch"
On Wednesday, July 2, 2008, Barry succumbed to a 12 month battle with lung and brain cancer which was diagnosed in June of 2007 in Victoria, British Columbia. He was 62 years of age. Since September of 2007 when he was able to return to Saint Thomas, he has been a patient at the Saint Thomas Elgin General Hospital. The wonderful team of Doctor Joel KEENLEYSIDE, Doctor Paula DONAHUE and the exceptional nurses on Units C and D prolonged his life and he was able to enjoy memorable times with family, former teachers and school chums. The family sincerely thanks the afore-mentioned and those who brightened his days with visits and outings. Barry was born in 1933 while his parents, the late Stanley and Agnes (McCALLUM) CLARK, lived in Dutton, Ontario. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Saint Thomas where Barry attended Scott Street School and later excelled in academia, basketball and volleyball at CECI and Saint Thomas Collegiate Institute. He was fortunate to be able to attend University of Toronto on a full scholarship and graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He entered the computer field at an exciting time and most of his career as an analyst was spent with International Business Machines Corporation - in Toronto, Montreal, Saint_John, Winnipeg and Calgary. Laterally, he spent his life in beautiful Victoria. He was an avid reader, a lover of jazz and he always kept fit by working out in the gym. Barry's older siblings will hold his memory close to their hearts - Bob (Mary Ellen) CLARK of the Philadephia area, Barb (Ken) TUFF of Saint Thomas, Bill (Patti) CLARK of Toronto and Newfoundland, and Bevin CLARK of Brockville. A special cousin, Doris (Stride) ROULSTON of London, will also hold him dear. Barry's nieces and nephews will always remember him for his quiet, gentle and caring nature - Meri-Sue, Mike (Hollie,) Mark and Margaret (John CONWAY) CLARK; Paul (Karen,) Jane (Bill IDSARDI) and Peter (Shelley) TUFF, Melanie CLARK- HANSEN and Jamie CLARK. Eleanor (McCALLUM) and Don BRANCHFLOWER of Glencoe and Alice (CLARK) COOK of London are his only surviving aunts and uncle. Barry bore his illness with great stoicism and determination. Cremation has taken place (Needham Funeral Service in London) and his ashes will be interred in Cowal Cemetery with his parents and many other family relatives and ancestors, all of whom originally came to the area from Argyleshire, Scotland. A memorial service and the interment of ashes will be held at a later date. Family and Friends will be notified of arrangements. "Always in our hearts"

McGRATH, David
Teacher, lover, foster parent. Born July 30, 1938, in Sarnia, Ontario Died October 25, 2007, in Toronto of a heart attack, aged 69.
By Jo NAZAR and Paul HANSEN, Page L8
The second of three sons, David spent his youth in Sarnia.
He earned his teaching degree at the University of Western Ontario, then travelled and taught abroad, including at Eton College.
David returned to Canada with his partner, David STURGESS, whom he had met at a private school in England where they were both teaching. Yes, they were referred to as "The Davids."
While teaching elementary school in Toronto, David brought his ailing mother to their home to care for her until her death. When his dad arrived, he nursed him until he passed away.
Not wishing to be without family in their home, David was intrigued by an ad in The Globe and Mail for foster parents. It was the early 1980s. Two males? "All they can do is say no," he said.
Then Steve arrived. "He'll kill us in our beds," David said. The Children's Aid Society of Toronto had deemed their home to be a place for boys whose next stop would be a treatment centre.
After 26 years, 36 boys and an award for outstanding service to children, David had created a large and unique family.
Apart from hauling boys out of crack houses, driving others to hockey games and proofreading homework, David ensured that his penchant for detail was integral to family living.
Dinner was at 10 p.m. sharp. His partner would prepare the sumptuous meal - a roast of lamb, for example - while David had the boys set an elaborate table. This is when they sat as a family and talked about the day. A Eucharist, really.
It was a game to try to trip up David. When he wasn't looking, the boys would turn a porcelain figurine ever so slightly, then wait. David would notice and set the figurine just right, much to the boys' amazement and delight.
David looked after all the minutiae necessary for the boys to grow. He knew his job was to let them become who they wanted to be and not wallow in what others defined them as.
A member of Saint Paul's Roman Catholic community in downtown Toronto, David taught children to read from the pulpit and to serve the community at liturgy. He opened the doors of confidence and service through which the children boldly entered.
Steve, now a chef in Germany, flew home to be with David in his last days. Thai came in from Montreal, while Liang did the driving. At the funeral Steve told those gathered, "If it wasn't for David I would surely be dead."
David insisted on life for the boys who came through their home. And he continues to do so in death, as one of his boys now considers fostering children.
Jo NAZAR and Paul HANSEN are David's Friends.

RICH, Bernard Wakeham
Bernard was at home in Oakville in his bed by the window, his loving wife Margaret and his family were by his side as he closed his eyes for the last time. He died peacefully on June 12th 2008 at the age of 86. Bernard will be dearly missed by his wife of 62 years Margaret (DAKERS) and his five daughters Bonnie RICH (Thomas CALVERT), Catherine HANSEN (Kaj), Virginia PEARCE (Richard), Linda ESSIEMBRE (Yvon) and Pamela BEZIC (Val) and his ten grandchildren Mark, Devon, Laurel, Emily, Peter, Eric, James, Rebecca, Joshua and Jennifer. He was born in Beamsville, Ontario, but most of his boyhood memories were of St. Catharines where he met Margaret before going off to the war. During World War 2, Bernard served as a flight instructor with the Royal Canadian Air Force before being assigned to 31 Squadron Royal Air Force as a flight officer and posted to Burma. Upon his return to Canada, he joined Trans Canada Airlines and went on to a distinguished 37 year career. He retired in 1981 as a highly respected 747 Captain with Air Canada after logging 26,600 hours in the air. In his retirement years when he wasn't filling his time maintaining his beloved home in Oakville he was golfing, sailing, flying and sharing happy hour with anyone who happened to drop in. He made many Friends in Naples, Florida where he and Margaret were the center of what they referred to as their "other life". For those who were lucky enough to cross his path, he was a genuine man's man. From skiing the mountains of the Alps to diving in the coral reef, from canoeing Canadian northern lakes to sailing Lake Ontario and everything in between; he took advantage of all life's opportunities and he generously shared his experiences with others. The Boy Scouts at Maple Grove United Church were one of the many groups that benefited from his commitment to community. Bernard was admired for his devotion to his five daughters (Bonnie, Catherine, Ginny, Linda and Pam). His passing is a devastating loss in the lives of his 5 daughters, ten grandchildren and all those whose lives he touched. All of our lives have been enriched by Grandpa's words of wisdom, encouragement and inspiration. His priceless life lessons will continue to guide us all. Our Canadian Airman has flown, to touch the face of God.
Final Departure.
Family will receive visitors in the Ward Funeral Home, 109 Reynolds Street, Oakville (905-844-3221) on Tuesday from 6: 30-8:30 p.m. Service will be held in Saint_John's United Church, 262 Randall Street, Oakville on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 2: 00 p.m. with a reception to follow. Cremation. In lieu of flowers donations to the Salvation Army or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

KERSELL, Marnie (née RUTHERFORD)
Marnie KERSELL was born on November 11, 1926. Her parents were Thomas Warriner RUTHERFORD and Rosalind Jane WITTON. Marnie had two sisters, Gay KIMPEL and Jane HANSULD. She grew up in a happy home on Lansdowne Rd. in Galt and met and fell in love with her future husband, George, at Galt Collegiate. They were married for 58 years and shared many interests and Friends. They were truly partners for life.
Marnie was loved, respected and admired by her three daughters, Mary, (Graham CALDWELL,) Jane (David SPARLING) and Ann (Paul RIDDELL, deceased.) She had a very close and warm relationship with her grandchildren, Anna and Scott Caldwell, Beth, Laura, Julie and Cam Sparling and Christine, Grace and Jimmy Riddell.
Her family recognized and appreciated Marnie's many talents and accomplishments. She was an extraordinary woman and, like so many women of her generation, she was a strong, independent thinker, a problem solver and a person who was never daunted by the task at hand.
She was a Phys. Ed. grad from the University of Toronto and was a talented athlete. She was an avid curler at the Galt Curling Club for many years and won the Ontario Mixed Curling Championship in 1962 and the Ladies' Tankard in 1965. Although she enjoyed all sports, golf was her passion. Over the years, she won 24 club championships both here, at the Galt Country Club, and in Florida. She was a member of the four person Ontario Senior Ladies' Team, which won the National Championship in Victoria in 1993. During her golfing career, Marnie had 9 holes-in-one, and shot her age three times. Marnie loved family time and especially enjoyed summers on Georgian Bay. She spent her youth cottaging at Pointe au Baril and later she, George and Gay and Doug KIMPEL built a cottage just up the shore on an island at Bayfield Inlet. Marnie never lost her enthusiasm for swimming, diving, canoeing, blueberrying and fishing. She and George also loved their winters in Florida and entertained many family members and Friends there over the years.
Marnie was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. She led a happy, fulfilled life. She died on June 19, 2008. It was very hard for us to let her go, and we will miss her greatly.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Epilepsy Ontario, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario or the charity of one's choice would be appreciated.
Memorial visitation will be held on Sunday, June 22, 2008 from 2-4 p.m. at Coutts Funeral Home, 96 St. Andrews Street, Cambridge.

FALCONER, Thomas S. " Paddy"
(Royal Canadian Mounted Police Reg. N. 13351)
Passed away June 19, 2008, peacefully, of old age, in his 94th year. Mourned by his loving wife of 62 years, Frances, his daughter Eileen MERCIER (Charles HANTHO,) his son Jim (Kristi GOURLAY,) five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Predeceased by his five siblings and his son-in-law Ernest MERCIER. Born in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, in 1914, he and his family emigrated to Edmonton in 1929. He joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in April 1940 and retired as a Staff Sergeant in 1966. He finished his working career with the Immigration Service in Fort Erie, Ontario and finally retired in 1979. He lived and worked in a world of right and wrong, of good and bad, where he played a small but important part in making that world a better and safer place. He loved and was inordinately proud of his family and their accomplishments while minimizing the importance of his own. We will miss his stories and lessons drawn from the great literary and historical texts he loved to read, while trying hard to remember them all. There will be no funeral service, at his request. Donations, for those so inclined, could be directed to the Frances Falconer Nursing Scholarships at the Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation.
