HAYMAN,
Norman
Wright, B.A.Sc., M.B.A.
Norm, beloved husband of Carol
(HUGHES,) passed peacefully with
family by his side on February 15, 2008 in his 82nd year. He
passed after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer, much as he
lived with quiet strength and inspiring resolve to care for those
around him. Born October 29, 1926 in Toronto, Ontario, Norm was
son of the late Thomas and Wilhelmina
(WRIGHT)
HAYMAN, both emigrants
from Scotland in 1913. Norm was predeceased by brothers Bill
(Gladys) of Toronto and Tom (Marion) of Ottawa. Norm will be
greatly missed by his loving wife of nearly 51 years, his best
friend and soul mate, Carol. He was a wonderful and caring father
to daughter Leslie (partner Kate), son Jamie, and two sons from
a previous marriage, Douglas (Joyce) of Caledon and David of
Ottawa, Ontario. Norm was proud papa to Mathew and Katrina, and
Kate and Steven. Norm is survived by many nieces, nephews and
dear Friends. and was particularly thrilled to meet his namesake,
Norman, young
son of nephew Thomas. Norm's family is grateful
for being in his life and feels deep pride in him. He was a true
gentleman who was unpretentious in his success, fulfilling life-long
goals and dreams. Primary among them, Norm committed to taking
care of his family in a way his father could not. Norm's father
died during the Depression without insurance, forcing his Mom
to work and leaving 12 year-old Norman with his two older brothers
to contribute as they could. As a boy and throughout his life,
he was passionate about aircraft engineering. Along with middle
brother Tom, Norm dreamt of designing planes. This he did. And
he was delighted to fly a First World War biplane from the Canadian
Warplane Heritage Museum, as a gift from his wife for his 75th
Birthday. He often enjoyed telling the story about a time just
prior to his father's death when young Norm and Tom studied aircraft
in great detail. They wrote letters with such competence that
aircraft manufacturers actually sent box loads of specifications
and designs to them at the small family apartment above a store
in North Toronto. That was until Royal Canadian Mounted Police
officers paid a visit to identify the two unknown Hayman 'men'
and confiscate their materials, all deemed critical to national
security leading into the Second World War. The officers interrogated
Mr. HAYMAN, senior, at length in absolute disbelief that it was
young 'Nor' and 'the boys' who were responsible for collecting
a treasure trove of classified military documents for no real
reason other than genuine curiosity and desire to learn. Norm
went on to graduate from Aeronautical Engineering at the University
of Toronto in 1950 after graduating from Northern Vocational
School in 1945. Norm joined Avro Canada at Toronto and engaged
in design of the CF100, initial work on the supersonic Avro Arrow.
He then went on to Engineering Personnel Administration and was
recognized for his executive potential by Avro. In 1958, the
company sponsored Norm to the Middle Management and
MBA Programs
at the Harvard Business School from which he graduated a year
later. When the Arrow project was cancelled, Norm returned to
Toronto and joined Woods Gordon Management Consultants for four
years. He was engaged for the next six years by the Dominion
Forge Company in Windsor Ontario. In 1969, Norm returned to Toronto
to join Inco Limited's corporate office in Organization Planning,
Management Services and Corporate Planning. He retired in 1991
as Assistant Vice President, Corporate Planning and Business
Development. And he then established N.W. Hayman Associates to
carry out business consulting projects until 1997. For two decades
until his diagnosis with cancer in January 2008, Norm devoted
much time and effort to groups and major institutions in the
fields of mental and community health, social support and family
services. He was engaged in a wide range of roles and responsibilities
including front-line volunteer activities, Board level involvement,
strategic planning, advisory and committee work at the Centre
for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, among others. He served
as President of Madison Housing and Support Services Inc. And
as a caring citizen, Norm made informative presentations to Toronto
City Council explaining his thorough analysis of the social and
economic risks to the City if it won its bid for the 2008 Summer
Olympics. Norm was proud to establish a Mathematics Scholarship
in his name for the 75'th anniversary of 'Northern' Secondary
School. His annual award to a top student provides financial
support and encouragement much as Norm received from his teachers
on a personal basis while there. Without such interest and direct
assistance, Norm's potential would not have been realized. He
would not have considered or found opportunity to step beyond
his vocation as a teenaged draftsman to succeed as he did in
higher education with a focus on engineering and an executive
career path. Norm's greatest pleasures included travel around
the world with Carol, with family, Friends and for business.
He enjoyed time at the cottage in Haliburton, playing bridge,
reading, managing personal investments, exploring economics and
current affairs. Norm enjoyed their playful cat, Theo, and entertaining
Friends and family around the pool and garden of the long-time
family home in west-end Toronto. Based on his wishes, cremation
has already taken place with plans for later interment at Mt. Pleasant
Cemetery. On February 27, 2008 a service will be held for Norman
at 4 p.m. in the Chapel of The Old Mill, followed at 5 p.m. by
a Celebration of Life in the Garden Room, 21 Old Mill Road, Toronto
M8X 1G5. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a directed
fund being set up in Norm's name at Princess Margaret Hospital,
to Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Foundation or to your
favorite charity and will be very much appreciated by Norm's
family.

Former Canadian ambassador got his start as a wartime spy
With dashing looks and a gift for languages, he served as high
commissioner in London and as ambassador to Indonesia, Czechoslovakia,
Venezuela and the Dominican Republic
By Alicia PRIEST,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S10
Victoria -- It was 1975, and the Canadian ambassador to Indonesia
was busy conducting his usual diplomatic duties. Peter
JOHNSTON
was obliged to host colleagues, visit regional governors, negotiate
aid projects, lobby cabinet ministers on behalf of Canadian business
interests, advise distraught parents whose children had run afoul
of the law, open art shows and attend an endless series of meetings,
military parades, state dinners and cultural functions.
Then, in late November, the former Portuguese colony of East
Timor declared its independence. Within two weeks, the Indonesian
army invaded and eventually slaughtered as many as 100,000 East
Timorese. When the fighting supposedly stopped, the Jakarta regime
invited Mr.
JOHNSTON to tour its new and allegedly peaceful territory,
hoping to polish its tarnished international image.
As directed by his government, however, Mr.
JOHNSTON "had nothing
to do with it." As he explained in his 2002 memoir Cooper's Snoopers
and Other Follies, accepting the offer would have condoned the
Indonesian takeover.
"But what stung a little," he continued, "was the fact that I
was not instructed to do any 'deploring' at the Indonesian foreign
ministry… and External Affairs in Ottawa, as far as I knew, had
made no fuss about the matter either publicly or through diplomatic
channels. To me, personally, the incident was a good illustration
of Talleyrand's advice to his ambassador, 'Surtout point de zèle,'
or more to the point, 'Keep your head down and shut up.' "
In some ways, that counsel captured Mr.
JOHNSTON's modus operandi
precisely. With his dashing looks, poise and gift for languages,
he made an ideal envoy. Fluent in French, Italian, Spanish and
Russian, he could get by in German and Czech and taught himself
rudimentary Swahili and Indonesian. The one language he balked
at, declaring it too difficult, was Japanese. As a diplomat,
he served at the Canadian high commissions in London and Tanzania,
and was Canadian ambassador to Indonesia, Czechoslovakia, Venezuela
and the Dominican Republic.
But while he performed the protocols of the foreign service with
aplomb, he possessed a more critical and less reverent side -
all bolstered by a questioning mind and a wicked sense of humour.
Undoubtedly, those traits made his life both more difficult and
more interesting. "I don't think he was always popular with his
senior officers. They may have found him a little difficult to
work with from time to time," said long-time friend and former
journalist Charles King. "But that was the strength and beauty
of the man. He was an un-diplomat, really."
Diplomacy was actually Mr.
JOHNSTON's second vocation. Earlier,
he had been a spy and security-information analyst, working in
counterintelligence during the Second World War and the Canadian
intelligence community during the Cold War.
Raised in Toronto, he was the eldest of four children whose father,
George, was a Toronto lawyer and mother, Gladys, was an immigrant
from England. His mother refused to send him to private school,
so he attended Brown School and then Jarvis Collegiate in Toronto.
He showed a keen interest in languages, inspired no doubt by
his father, who had learned to read and write Russian.
One lunch hour in the spring of 1940, Mr.
JOHNSTON walked into
a Royal Canadian Air Force recruiting station, seeking to become
a fighter pilot. He was 18 and had yet to finish Grade 13. Rejected
as pilot material for failing to distinguish red dots from green,
he enlisted as a foot soldier immediately after graduation. Sent
to England, he was accepted for training as a German-speaking
interrogator.
By August, 1942, he was under the command of Bill Cooper, of
the First Canadian Field Security Section, and joked about being
a "Cooper's Snooper." However, at the time, the term referred
to investigators from the British Ministry of Information who
were charged with measuring the state of the nation's morale
and answerable to then-head Sir Duff Cooper, formerly First Lord
of the Admiralty. (The Ministry of Information and its Cooper's
Snoopers were much parodied in fiction, particularly by Graham
Greene in The Ministry of Fear and
by Evelyn Waugh in Put Out
More
Flags.) As the war intensified, Mr.
JOHNSTON was sent to
the Mediterranean for the invasion of Sicily in July, 1943. Over
the next two years, as the Allies slowly captured the remainder
of Italy, he scouted the length of the country - mostly on motorcycle
- in pursuit of spies, traitors, collaborators, bogus refugees
and other suspicious types.
Although hardship, danger and fear were constant, his account
of his adventures resembles the Keystone Kops more than James
Bond. A case in point were his experiences at Riccione, a town
near Rimini on the Adriatic Sea that was still partly occupied
by the Germans. Ordered to enter the town to establish a base
and put up roadblocks, the event was celebrated in a 1981 Canadian
Intelligence and Security book that reported how Mr.
JOHNSTON
and a friend saved a military police officer's life by shooting
a group of armed Germans.
But according to Mr.
JOHNSTON, that's not actually what happened.
Entering the town, the two men hid their jeep and bedded down
for the night in a comfortable house. Their sleep was soon disturbed
by a mortar barrage. They fled the house "bare-assed," wearing
nothing more than their shirttails, and hid behind a hedge. "We
hid because we sensed that the troops marching along the road&hellip
were wearing the wrong kind of helmets. We didn't wipe them out
because we had nothing to wipe them out with, our armoury having
been left upstairs under our beds."
Nevertheless, his intelligence efforts were honoured and Mr.
JOHNSON
was mentioned in dispatches. Returning home after the war, he
enrolled in the University of Toronto, graduating with a degree
in modern languages and literature in 1948. One year earlier,
on a blind date, he met Valerie
FAREWELL, a Toronto teacher.
It was love at first sight; the couple soon married and went
on to have four children.
As postwar global relations morphed into the Cold War, Mr.
JOHNSTON's
linguistic skills and professional discretion became increasingly
valued. He worked briefly for the communications branch of the
National Research Council, then joined the Department of External
Affairs (now the Department of Foreign Affairs and International
Trade), where one of his duties was to analyze events in Africa
and Cuba. His 1960 assessment of Fidel Castro said he was creating
a "nationalist and not a communist government" and that U.S.
hostility to the new regime could force the Cuban leader to turn
to the Russians for support. Two years later, the Cuban missile
crisis erupted.
As a young child, daughter Celia
HUNTER remembers her father
spending long hours away from home but never mentioning his work.
"In Grade 5, we all had to say what our fathers did. I told the
teacher mine was a civil servant and she looked at me and said,
'A garbage man?' I just shrugged and said, 'I have no clue.'"
In 1962, the family moved to London, where Mr.
JOHNSTON served
as counsellor at the Canadian High Commission. Four years later,
he filled the same post in Tanzania. On his return to Ottawa,
he headed a division of security intelligence where, after four
Kafkaesque years of endless meetings, producing reports that
no one read and recommending changes that never happened, he
suffered what his doctor diagnosed as a "nervous breakdown."
Upon recovery, he accepted a position as counsellor at the Canadian
embassy in Japan. But tragedy struck in 1973 when Valerie was
hit by a car as she was hailing a taxi in Tokyo. Some time after
her death, he married Rosanne
HUGHES, an embassy secretary.
Intrigued with the manoeuvrings of global politics, he served
as ambassador in various posting until 1983, when he moved to
British Columbia and briefly taught history at the University
of Victoria.
In his early 80s, he set about recording what he called "fragments"
of his life. True to form, Cooper's Snoopers and Other Follies
proved to be both politically irreverent and astute. But as the
reminiscences of someone who knew a lot about some very interesting
goings-on, it is full of gaps. Friend and former intelligence
colleague Robert McLaren says Mr.
JOHNSTON applied to have another
18 pages of information cleared by Ottawa, but the request was
denied.
John Starnes, the first civilian director-general of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police Security Service, the author of six spy
novels and of the memoir Closely Guarded, was Mr.
JOHNSTON's
boss at External Affairs.
Although Mr.
JOHNSTON often spoke his mind bluntly, "I trusted
him completely, and he was dealing on a daily basis with very
sensitive, tricky intelligence data," Mr. Starnes said. "He was
a remarkable, delightful human being."
Mr. JOHNSTON's interest in world affairs never abated. In his
early 70s, he worked as an election monitor in Nicaragua, El Salvador
and Angola for the United Nations, and for the Organization of
American States. Until recently, he was active in the Victoria
branch of the Canadian International Council.
