She will be fondly remembered

Denise worked at Bell for 31 years and influenced many people
during that time. At Denise's request there will be no funeral
and cremation has taken place. Her final resting place will be
in the family plot at Holy Angel's Cemetery in Saint Thomas. When
I think of Denise, I think of her eyes and they look out for
all of us. I think of her ears and she hears what we have to
say. I think of her hands and she reaches out for us. I think
of her arms and she hugs us. I think of her heart and she loves
us. And I think of her soul and you all know that she prays for
us. (Written by Dave DE

KEEGAN,
John
Ronald
(July 11, 1932 To January 20, 2008)
To measure a Man… Is to sum up his accomplishments in but a few
simple phrases. Those whose impact was greatest on family and
Friends tend to need fewer songs of praise. Dad always knew there
was another chance to change an outcome. Growing up the eldest
of 5, with precious few amenities, he learned to effect situations
through force of will. Above all else he understood the value
of family and revelled in all our accomplishments great and small.
He loved talking about his family, a clean car, a good hockey
fight, the market and the colour yellow. Always well dressed,
he respected others who took care of their first impression
shined shoes and well tied ties were a quick gauge to your worth.
Setting the tone for any situation he added flair when none existed.
When we attended hockey games he refereed we always remembered
never to tell the fans our Dad was the referee and we'll never
forget the police escorts after junior games in Greenfield Park
and St. Lambert. He loved his business and as a Trader his execution
was legendary, He knew how to make a pro short a position on
his bid and be grateful. He never liked to politic, but knew
it so well he taught us to taunt the sharks we swim with in whatever
waters we may find ourselves. His greatest accomplishment was
that his children assumed their successes without doubt. With
great sorrow, much love and admiration he will be deeply missed
and always remembered by his loving and devoted wife of 54 years
Beverley (née
RANDLE,) daughter Deborah; sons Michael and wife
Joanne (née
VIENS) Randy and wife Deborah (née
KREGZDE). Grandad,
you will always be close in heart and thought to grandchildren
Erin, Lauren, Katherine, Tyler and Jordyn. Predeceased my mother
and father John and Kitty (née
MERRIFIELD)

sadly missed by brothers Gord and Billy and sister Joan. A Memorial
Celebration will be held Friday, January 25th, 2008 at 2: 00 p.m.

MacPHERSON,
Bruce
Edward, M.D.
Born in Toronto on September 8, 1920 to Edna
MITCHELL and Arnold
William MacPHERSON,
Bruce died peacefully on January 10, 2008
in the Almonte General Hospital. He is survived by his wife Pauline,
his children Michael (Jean,) Sandra (John
MERTENS,)
Elizabeth
(Lars DANIELSSON,)
Arnold
(Karin,) grandchildren Andrew (Beth,)
Matthew (Fiona), Dan, Eric, Henry, Robert, Louisa, and great-grandchild
Emily. He is survived also by his four sisters, Joan
CRAWFORD,
Jean HILL,
Mary
FLEMING/FLEMMING and Ada
MORRIS, and their families. He
will be missed by Aunt Pauline's kin, Annalee, Ed and Emma
LADOUCEUR,
Lisa, Bill, Kelly and Katie
RICHARDSON, and Pat and Ken
BELBECK
and family. Bruce grew up in Saint Thomas Ontario where he met
and later married Mary Pauline
RICHARDSON.
Like his father, Bruce
took his medical degree at the University of Toronto, graduating
in 1950. He practiced for many years as a family physician in
Weston, Ontario and at the Humber Memorial Hospital, and also
served as physician for Orenda Engines and at the United Cooperatives
of Ontario. He retired in 2000 at age eighty. Bruce served overseas
flying Spitfires with Royal Canadian Air Force 412 Squadron first
in Britain and later in Europe after D-Day. He flew with Royal
Air Force 93 Squadron in North Africa. In 1942 he survived a
voyage to Murmansk (PQ 16) as a Hurricat pilot with Merchant
Ship Fighter Unit on the Camship Empire Lawrence, and was mentioned
in dispatches when she was sunk as a result of enemy action.
Bruce was a Prisoner of War for the last few months of the war.
He truly appreciated the lifelong Friends he made from his adventures.
Bruce demonstrated exceptional grace during his final years,
living with Parkinson's. He was a gentleman, genuinely interested
in people, forever active and curious about the world, humble
about himself, and
in Pauline's words, "always so much fun".
We shall all miss him dearly. A memorial service will be held
at a later date. Donations in memory of Bruce to the Parkinson
Society Canada, Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Arthritis
Society Canada, or the Almonte General Hospital.
