Died peacefully in Vancouver on April 29, 2008 after a courageous
fight with cancer. She was born in Vancouver on September 26,

her beloved husband of fifty-four years. Elizabeth is survived
by her brother John

five grandchildren Chris, Kate, Jenny, William and Sarah. Elizabeth
attended Crofton House, Point Grey and Magee High Schools, before
heading off to University of British Columbia, where she graduated
with a B.A. in 1951. At University of British Columbia she joined
the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, became an enthusiastic member
of the Players Club and began many lifelong Friendships. It was
through the Players Club that Libby met Philip and began a love
affair that nourished their shared commitment to close and extended
family that became the foundation of their lives. Early in their
marriage they moved to London, England where Elizabeth supported
the struggling actors who shared their flat. After returning
to Vancouver in 1957, she led a rich and active life; she volunteered
for many arts organizations, was a founding member of the P.P.B.S.,
jointly started a catering company called 'Brown Cow', and co-owned
a small island in the Sechelt Inlet that she christened 'Fluttering
Gussets'. Always warm and welcoming, she was the centre of many
a lively and stimulating dinner party, opening her heart and
home to all. An affectionate and supportive mother, she was a
voracious reader, adventurous traveler, fabulous cook, brilliant
gardener, and always ready to perform a charade in her own inimitable
style. Elizabeth was a woman of grace, strength and love. Always
a lady, she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege
of knowing her. The family extends their deepest appreciation
to the staff at V.G.H., Cottage Hospice and the numerous doctors

on commercial construction sites and worked his way up taking
over as President in 1975. After selling the firm in 1989, he
started up Willumsen Ventures Inc. specializing in forensic engineering,
namely structural failures. Early in his career in construction,
he became concerned about the welfare of employees and was instrumental
in starting the first health, welfare and pension trust funds
for the construction related industry unions in Alberta and parts
of Western Canada, along with Funds Administrative Services,
a firm providing administration of these plans to the Laborer's
of Western Canada, Electrical Workers of Alberta, Bricklayers,

integrity, chivalry and humour. The family thanks Doctor Ian Kendal,

TEMPLETON
(Nancy,) Brad
TEMPLETON
(Kathryn) and
Ty TEMPLETON
(Keiren,)
along with grandchildren, Jesse, Curtis, Kellam, Cale, Jordan,
Taylor, Sean, Will, Katie and Marika. Born May 12, 1925 in Regina,
Bill served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War 2 and
then received a Bachelor of Commerce from Queen's University
and a Chartered Accountant degree. In 1955 he joined fledgling
Garrett Manufacturing Limited in Toronto, a division of the growing
Garrett aerospace company in the U.S.A. Four years later he moved
to the Los Angeles headquarters, but his rising star brought
him back to Toronto to run Garrett Manufacturing Limited. He
built it from a small operation to a major manufacturer with
over 1,400 employees, producing top quality equipment for the
aviation and aerospace industries. If you've flown on a major
commercial airliner, Bill's systems, among many roles, helped
control the air you breathed for a comfortable flight. He rose
to become president of Garrett Canada, as Garrett Manufacturing
Limited was renamed after being acquired by Fortune 50 corporation
Allied-Signal. Bill served on the board of Allied-Signal Canada.
After retiring he cofounded Tulmar, a leading vendor of aviation
life support supplies based in Hawkesbury. Bill also worked in
international affairs, twice serving as chairman of the Canadian
North Atlantic Treaty Organization Industrial Advisory Group,
and also as chairman of the Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers
Assoc. of Canada. Out of the office, Bill was passionate about
golf, and had been recruited to play hockey for the Detroit Red
Wings before the war intervened. Bill was predeceased by his

Charlotte "

MURPHY)
Passed away suddenly, at home, on Saturday, April 26, 2008, at
the age of 92. Born in Halifax to E.J.
MURPHY and Ethel
(SULLIVAN,)
Peetie was the middle child of five, Catherine and Barbara, who
predeceased her, a younger sister, Carol, and brother, Edward.
She shared many happy stories of her family growing up in their
beautiful house on Rhuland Street, as well as the good times
enjoyed summering in Jollimore at "Unadilla" on the shores of
The North West Arm. Peetie attended the Convent of the Sacred
Heart, where she made many lifelong Friends. She went on to Dalhousie,
receiving a B.A. in 1937, and then to McGill, where she earned
a graduate degree in Library Science. She loved to tap dance
and starred in the "Red and White Review" at McGill. Well-educated
and an avid reader, Peetie began her career as a librarian at
the Halifax Herald where she worked for the next 10 years, introducing
many innovations. She did volunteer work in Halifax during the
war including decoding navy messages and editing soldiers' letters.
Peetie married Bill in 1948, and began raising their family,
but she always found time to contribute to her community. She
worked through the Library Committee to help found the Halifax
Library. She was a long-time member of the Junior League, and
served on the Board of the Victorian Order of Nurses. Peetie
was a generous and thoughtful friend to many. Whether visiting
people in their times of need, or contributing extensively to
her bridge and book clubs, she was always thinking of others.
Throughout her life, the Catholic faith was always important
to her, and she followed "The Golden Rule" as a matter of course.
After Bill retired, they spent considerable time in Florida and
Chester, enjoying Friends and family. She became a remarkable
strength for Bill during the latter years of his life, caring
for him until he died in 2006. In her later years, Peetie was
surrounded, at her home on Studley Avenue, by good Friends, her
daughter, Cathy, and had the care and Friendship of Rosanne Bedard,
Hedy Gavel, and Ina Burke. Mom was the glue of our family and
our needs always came first. She is survived by her children,
Cathy BETHUNE (Dr. Graeme), Halifax; Anne
GREENE (Erick), Missoula,
Montana.; Bill (Marilynne
DAY), Toronto; David (Susan
MYKETYN),
New Glasgow, and her grandchildren, Jennifer, Gillian, Tom, David,
Jeff, Allison, Robin, Christine, Philip and Andrew. We will all

HAMILL,
Philip (1929-2008)
Born in Dundalk, Ireland, Phil studied at University College
Galway, where he met his beloved Nancy, with whom he would share
the next 53 years. He immigrated to Canada in 1957, settling
in Ottawa where he had a long and enjoyable career at the National
Research Council. Phil was an accomplished scholar and scientist,
yet he valued his family and Friends most of all. He will be
remembered for his remarkable spirit, his unfaltering optimism
and his extraordinary joy for living. Phil was the best of company
- articulate, witty, wise, generous and so very kind. His pleasures
included literature, tennis, art, onions, writing, whisky, a
broad spectrum of music, scotch broth, theatre, wordplay, cooking
and solving crossword puzzles with Nancy and son Philip. He lived
every day as we all wish we could - fully, happily and thankfully.
Phil will be hugely missed by his wife Nancy, sons Philip and
Declan and daughter Mona, daughter-in-law Kathy
HAMILL, son-in-law
Doug CRUIKSHANK and granddaughters Ally Clare, Fiona and Genny.

Successful filmmaker at National Film Board turned to a life
of crime writing
He worked on documentaries and television programs, and got to
know the Beatles and Bob Dylan, but longed to write fiction.
The result was award-winning short stories and a bidding war
over a first novel
By Noreen SHANAHAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S8
Toronto -- Film producer and record-label publicist Dennis
MURPHY
worked among stars, but he wasn't dazzled by them. His true ambition
was to write and publish Canadian crime fiction, and it was a
dream to which he held firm.
Writing fiction and doing his own thing was always on his mind,
even while working for Elektra Records and meeting the likes
of Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Jim Morrison and the Beatles. The
same could be said of his time at the National Film Board, where
he had a hand in such documentaries and television programs as
Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould, Manufacturing Consent
and a portrait of the late Oscar Peterson titled In the Key of
Oscar.
In Canada, Mr.
MURPHY's work appeared on
TVOntario,
Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation, Global, History Television and The
Discovery Network. In the United States, it was seen on Court TV,
National Geographic and
PBS. In 1990, he was appointed executive
producer of National Film Board's Studio C in Montreal. A year
later, he became director of National Film Board's flagship Ontario
Centre, executive producing more than 100 documentary films.
"Dennis was brilliant at everything he tried," said friend Douglas
McARTHUR, a retired Globe and Mail reporter. "He had a zest for
life and Irish whisky."
Within a few short years of publishing crime fiction in such
notable places as Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock
Magazine and Storyteller Magazine, he became one of Canada's
leading crime writers. Dead in the Water, a fictionalized account
of the death of painter Tom Thomson, won the Bloody Words crime
writers' award and Storyteller's annual Best Canadian Short Story
prize, and was short-listed for a Crime Writers of Canada Arthur
Ellis Award.
In 2005, he won the Storyteller prize for the second year running
with Death of a Drystone Wall, and with it scored one of two
nominations for that year's Arthur Ellis Short Story award. The
other nomination was for Sound of Silence. A year later, he won
the 2006 short story prize with Fuzzy Wuzzy, originally published
in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine.
After a bidding war between two publishers, Mr.
MURPHY signed
a contract last March with Harper-Collins Canada for his novel
Darkness at the Break of Noon. He borrowed the title from a Bob
Dylan lyric, so clearly some of the stars he had worked with
mattered to him more than he let on.
Dennis MURPHY grew up in Dundas, Ontario, loving the life of
a small-town boy. But when he was 14, darkness descended after
his 45-year-old father, Robert
MURPHY, died of a heart attack.
Dennis never got over the loss and always feared he, too, would
die young. This fear may have explained why he achieved so much
during his life.
In 1967, Mr.
MURPHY graduated from McMaster University in Hamilton
with a bachelor of arts in Irish literature. He was editor of
the school paper, a drummer in a rock band and in love with all
things Dylan. Bored one Christmastime, Mr.
MURPHY convinced a
group of Friends to go door-to-door "Dylan-ing." They greeted
people on their doorsteps with Blowin' in the Wind instead of
Come Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
After graduation, he was offered a teaching job in Ireland but
moved instead to New York, where he threw himself into the music
business. In 1971, he became the East Coast head of audio engineering
with Elektra Records, but he soon returned to Canada and established
Sundog Productions, based in Toronto and Vancouver. He produced
albums for singers Shirley Eikhard, Christopher Kearney, Ron
Nigrini and others. In 1976, he worked at the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation as director of Ninety Minutes Live, hosted by Peter
Gzowski. He also worked on Take 30 and The Final Edition. As
a highly successful freelancer, Mr.
MURPHY's career took off
in all directions, resulting in a curriculum vitae more than
20 pages long.
"Whatever Dennis did, he would just completely obsess about it,
do everything he could, research it and just exhaust the subject
and then move on to something else," said his wife, Joanna
KUBICKI.
"He lived for writing. When he wasn't writing, you could see
him, the wheels were spinning - he was creating stories in his
head."
Of all the genres, it was crime writing that appealed to him
most, she said. Several filing cabinets bulging with stories
were a testament to that.
Ms. KUBICKI met Mr.
MURPHY at
TVO in 1980. She was working in
the arts department and he was freelancing. They came together
over shared misery, commiserating about the abrupt ends to their
previous relationships. He had a white dog; she had a white cat.
Neither could find a place to rent, so they bought a house together
in Toronto's Riverdale neighbourhood. It worked out so well that
they married a couple of years later. In 1983, the circle was
completed with the birth of their son, Adam.
Around that time, Mr.
MURPHY began longing to return to the kind
of small-town pleasures he knew as a child and to raise Adam
in some place similar. He convinced Ms.
KUBICKI to move to an
old Victorian house in Stouffville, Ontario He not only excelled
at his work but he was also an impressive community member. He
became a scout leader, played on a baseball team, organized a
music festival and was appointed to the Stouffville parks and
recreation advisory board.
He started his own television production company, Anagraph Inc.
He did some of his best thinking on the backed-up Don Valley
Parkway while commuting to Toronto. But, true to form, he soon
grew bored took a job in 1990 with the National Film Board in
Montreal. The family lived in Hudson, Quebec, during the famous
Mohawk land dispute in Oka, just across the river. Traffic jams
were soon replaced with tanks on Main Street and disturbing newscasts.
Out of this, Mr.
MURPHY made the documentary Acts of Defiance,
in support of land-rights issues.
The National Film Board transferred him to Toronto and the family
moved back into their house in Stouffville. There, he continued
quietly writing. In 1992, Ms.
KUBICKI's longing to live in Toronto
landed them in a house in the Beaches neighbourhood and an introduction,
for Mr. MURPHY, to a gathering of writers at The Feathers pub
on Kingston Road. He decided to get serious, and joined Crime
Writers of Canada.
He also decided to try his hand at travel writing, and contacted
his friend Mr.
McARTHUR, who was then acting travel editor at
The Globe. He submitted an account of his quest to find the perfect
omelette pan in Paris.
"I thought it was really good, but I was afraid I might be prejudiced
because he was a friend, so I showed it to some other editors,"
said Mr. McARTHUR. "
They liked it too, and it ran as a travel
front. The next week, I had a phone call from a professor at
a journalism school somewhere in the southern U.S. He wanted
to use it in his classes as an example of how to write a perfect
travel story."
Toronto mystery writer Peter
ROBINSON lived around the corner
from Mr. MURPHY. He was also a crony at The Feathers and the
two men frequently talked about crime writing over a pint or
two. Mr. ROBINSON recognized his friend's passion and his excellent
storytelling skills. He became a mentor to him. Around this time,
Mr. MURPHY started to publish award-winning short stories, as
well as starting on a book.
"The novel was his dream, and it's hard to get over the cruel
irony that he should be taken away so soon after finding out
that it was going to be published," Mr.
ROBINSON said. "But Dennis
was a polisher, a perfectionist. It was hard for him to let go
of a piece of writing because he knew there was always more he
could do to make it even better."
Mr. MURPHY also published a poem in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
called Final Escape.
"If a short story can be deemed a process of finite literary
craft, then a poem is a word sculpture," Mr.
MURPHY told Poe's
Deadly Daughters, a blog for mystery aficionados. "It also elevated
me instantly to the precious (to me) category of published poet,
something that, as yet, has impressed no one who reads my curriculum
vitae."
Scottish mystery writer Ian Rankin, who liked the poem, sent
Mr. MURPHY a book that he dedicated to "the crime poet."
Mr. MURPHY, who until earlier this year taught broadcasting and
film studies at Centennial College in Toronto, frequently steered
his crime-writing into Canadian history. Without being preachy,
the stories often packed a political punch. "I don't set out
to make a bald-headed statement, just to write a story with a
crime at its centre that has something to do with our world,"
he said. "I've been making documentary films for a long time
and I suppose my feelings about issues are always there and ready
(and more than willing) to be tapped."
Many of his killers were highly moral human beings who had been
wronged, or who had committed crimes that readers might condone
or even approve, he said. For instance, in Dead in the Water,
Tom Thomson is killed by a local guide who feels his home in
Algonquin Park has been stolen by "the painter" who sees only
wind-bent trees and broken beaver dams. The story ends with these
lines: "If I hadn't killed the painter, he'd be forgotten, too."
Darkness at the Break of Noon will be published in February.
Dennis MURPHY was born September 6, 1943, in Hamilton. He died
June 15, 2008, in Toronto of lung cancer. He was 64. He is survived
by his wife, Joanna
KUBICKI, and their son, Adam
MURPHY.
