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.

ROBINSON, J. Lewis
(July 9, 1918-July 19, 2008)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather - J. Lewis 'Lew' ROBINSON - one of Canada's first Geography professors. Lewis passed away peacefully with his family by his side after suffering a stroke the day after celebrating his 90th birthday. Survived by his wife and partner of 63 years, Josephine (née ROWAN,) son David (Zonda NELLIS and daughter Alexandra;) daughters Jo-Anne and Patricia (David SSAINTURENT and children Michael and Joanna.) Born in Leamington and raised in Windsor, Lewis studied at The University of Western Ontario (B.A.) Syracuse University (M.A.) and Clark University (PhD). In 1946 Lewis was invited by University of British Columbia President, Norman Mackenzie, to start a Geography Division within the Department of Geology, and in 1958 he started the Geography Department at University of British Columbia, serving as the first head until 1968; and remained as a Professor until his retirement in 1984. Lewis made an outstanding contribution to Geography in Canada - writing 14 books, developing 9 wall maps and contributing to hundreds of articles - particularly on the geography of British Columbia and the Canadian Arctic. His textbooks and wall maps of Canada were used in universities and schools throughout the country. During his 48 years of teaching Geography at University of British Columbia, he taught thousands of students earning him the reputation as an outstanding teacher and mentor. In recognition of these contributions, University of British Columbia awarded him a Master Teacher Award (1977). Lewis also received numerous other honours and awards throughout his distinguished career, including the Centennial Medal and Silver Jubilee Medal from the Government of Canada, the Massey Medal of the Royal Canadian Geographical Service and two university honourary degrees. Lewis retired from University of British Columbia in 1984, but remained an active force at the institution, establishing the Alumni Association's Professors Emeriti Division - the first organization of its kind in Canada. He was also an enthusiastic supporter of University of British Columbia sports and was the Captain of the University of British Columbia Old Birds Seniors Hockey Team until he hung his skates up for the last time at the age of 77. Lewis, along with his wife Jo, were active members of the University of British Columbia Faculty Club and Gourmet Group and even co-authored a cookbook together. Lewis was also deeply involved in Deaf Education and Sports Development in Canada, including serving as President of the Western Institute for the Deaf. The family wishes to extend a special thank to Lewis's longtime physician, Doctor Bradley Fritz and to his wonderful caregivers - Mila and Hilda. A memorial service celebrating Lewis ROBINSON's life and legacy will be held at Cecil Green Park House, on October 3, 2008 at 1 p.m. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in memory to the J. Lewis Robinson Memorial Scholarship fund at University of British Columbia (Attn: Maryn Ellis, 500-5950 University Blvd., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6T 1Z3). Geographer, mapmaker, explorer, writer, teacher, mentor, husband, father and friend - the kindest man we ever knew - the boy who ran so fast - you taught us kindness, generosity and usefulness. We will miss you - you gave us the world and more - thank you.

SEAGRAM, Charles Joseph, Q.C.
Barrie, Ontario
(May 20, 1918-January 29, 2008)
Charlie died peacefully at Grove Park Home on Tuesday January 29, 2008 in his 90th year. He is survived by his loving wife Joyce (née LITTLE) 4 children, 12 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild: David (Martha) and their children Tina and Phillip of Cincinnati Jim (Carol) and their children Jason, Kathleen, Naomi (Brian) and baby Kristina, and Sarah of Stayner; Kathy (Jamie SMITH) and their children Leona, William, Julia and Grace of Alliston and Becky (John GUTTERIDGE) and their children Katie-Ann and Rebecca of London. Charlie is the brother of Adine HUSSEY of Toronto and the late Leona CLARK of Victoria. He is the brother-in-law of Doctor Bill LITTLE (Margaret) of Vankoughnet. Charlie was born in Orillia, Ontario in 1918 and moved to Barrie in 1919. At the age of 11 he attended Trinity College School, Port Hope where for the next 7 years he excelled in both athletics (he was a football, cricket, squash and tennis champion) and academics. Crowning his career at Trinity College School he won the All Round Athletic Honours in addition to winning the All Round Top Academic Student Award in 2 consecutive years. Charlie made Friendships at Trinity College School which have lasted a lifetime and which followed him through his army and war experiences, law school and later his law practice. Charlie graduated from University of Toronto in 1939 and Osgoode Hall in 1942. In 1943 he went overseas as a member of the 48th Highlanders and Infantry Regiment as a First Lieutenant. He saw active service in Italy and Continental Europe between January 1944 and September 1945. Following the war, Charlie joined the Barrie law firm of Boys and Boys in 1947 and with Ozzie ROWE, bought the firm in 1949, changing the name to Boys, Seagram and Rowe. 1949 also marked the biggest merger of Charlie's life, marrying Joyce LITTLE, daughter of the late Doctor Bill and Kitty LITTLE. Charlie's active and generous life included a 7 year term as a bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada, President of the Simcoe County Law Association, a Director of Sterling Trust, Warden and Sidesman of Trinity Anglican Church, a Director of the Barrie Golf and Country Club and member of the Scottish Country Dancers. His love of sports continued throughout his life as he remained active in golf and curling. But the sport for which Charlie will be most remembered is tennis, playing and talking a mean game into his early 80's. When he didn't have a tennis racquet in his hand, he would have a chain saw, garden trowel or a rake, as he loved working outdoors at the house, cottage or bush lot. Always the life of the party, Charlie's wit and humour endeared him to all. He was a loving husband, caring father and friend, and will be deeply missed. We give thanks for the life of this extraordinary dear man. Friends may call at the Steckley-Gooderham Funeral Home, 30 Worsley Street, Barrie on Friday from 2: 30-5:30 p.m.. The Funeral Service will held at Trinity Anglican Church, 24 Collier Street, Barrie on Saturday February 2, 2008 at 11 a.m. Spring interment Barrie Union Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, you may wish to make a donation in memory of Charlie to Grove Park Home, Trinity Anglican Church, Royal Victoria Hospital, Barrie, or Trinity College School Scholarship Fund, Port Hope.

DEMONT, Eric Gordon, Q.C.
80. Died in his sleep at his winter retreat in Hilton head Island Thursday, March 6, 2008. Born August 29th, 1927 in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, he was the second of three boys born to Clarence and Mabel (née MacKEIGAN) DEMONT.
Eric is survived by his wife of 51 years, Patricia (née ROWE) and his three children, Christy (Toronto,) Frank (Robyn EATON) (New Glasgow) and Richard (Montreal) and his two beloved grandchildren, Isobel Ruth and Campbell Eric, along with his brothers Earl (Rea) of Glace Bay and Russ (Joan) of Halifax.
Eric graduated from Glace Bay's Central High School and from Acadia University, where he lettered in Rugby and Basketball and had great success in track and field. He then attended Dalhousie Law School (Class of 1956). It was during his days at Law School that Eric was introduced by brother Earl to Pat, a teacher and also a basketball player, who would become his bride the day after his graduation. During his articles, she supported him, and kept on doing so for the next 51 years. She taught him how to drive and how to be social at parties, with varying degrees of success.
Eric was a member of the Nova Scotia and Ontario Bars and practiced law with Rutledge MacKeigan in Halifax before moving to Toronto where he became Regional Counsel for CP Rail. In 1978 Eric left CP and his office on Front Street in Toronto for an office on Main Street in Wolfville, Nova Scotia where he worked until retirement in 2000. He traded his Central "Y" membership in for a "gym pass" at Acadia where he played basketball with the noontime crowd until well into his 60's. A long time member of the Rotary Club of Wolfville, Eric was a Paul Harris Fellow and a past-president of the Club. He left the Club, and Wolfville, in 2005 to relocate with Pat to Halifax.
Eric was known to his Friends and family as the quintessential arbiter of fairness. He would enjoy knowing that his children think of him as the ultimate reasonable man - as he would have it, the man on the Clapham Omnibus. (Although if one ever attributed that to him, he might give a brief dissertation on the test as set out in Hall v. Brooklands Auto-Racing Club.).
He was a keen swimmer and his favourite place to be was the "Bonavista Cottage", the family vacation home at Melmerby Beach. Exiting the sometimes frigid waters of the Northumberland Strait, he always had the same refrain, "the water is great!". At 80, he was still improving his tennis game, reading the latest magazines on how to hit the topspin backhand that continued to elude him. A lifetime non-drinker and non-smoker, he was the self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur of the family, and his ongoing quest to brew the perfect cup was well-known to all his Friends.
His interests were wide and varied and included his painting and photography alongside his computer and web surfing. As a fan of Charlie Rose, he was obviously a night owl. An aficionado of the movies, Bob Newhart, and the Marx Brothers, Eric was always ready to laugh, and to make others laugh too. He was an avid cruciverbalist and enjoyed working away at the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle each week.
A life long sports fan, he was delighted to watch his grandchildren play hockey, but didn't mind that the basketball games provided considerably warmer places to sit.
Eric will be remembered for the funny stories about "back in the day" playing "foot-n-a-half" and chewing tar! With prosperity as a lawyer, he traded in the tar for the more acceptable black licorice. Eric has gone back to his personal "Mira" where he enjoyed his youthful summers in the 1930's and early 40's.
Eric's legacy of fairness and laughter lives on in his children and grandchildren. He will be remembered at a memorial service at a later date. Eric would want all to remember the words of Groucho Marx, "time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana!".
Memorial donations can be made to The Coady International Institute, at St. Francis Xavier University, (902 867-5264, www.coady.stfx.ca).
Condolences can be sent to Pat and the Family at file@ca.ns.sympatico.ca.

RAY, Louis " Lewis" William
(May 20, 1919-March 26, 2008)
Lou passed away peacefully, age 88, at Victoria General Hospital surrounded by loving family. Born in Toronto to Violet (née ROWE) and Joseph RAY, Lou was 6 months when his father died suddenly. Lou's mum went out to work, while her sister Ellen looked after him. Lou grew up poor but very loved on 'the Danforth'. Summers were spent at a lodge in Muskoka doing hard manual work (carrying water), and also swimming and fishing. Here Lou developed a love of nature and being physically fit that would stay with him his entire life. After High School at Jarvis Collegiate, Lou worked to put himself through Civil Engineering at U of T. He completed officers training at Petawawa. Lou first worked with Ontario Hydro, then as a real estate appraiser with Chaffe Mckenzie, later McKenzie Ray Heron and Edward, (372 Bay St) where he worked until retirement at age 65. He met his wife Marjorie Eleanore (née HART) at a 'Paul Jones' dance at the Y, and they were married in Toronto June 25th 1949. They had 3 children. Lou was a devoted husband, father and son. He designed and helped to build one of their first homes and also a cottage on Bass Lake near Mactier, which provided treasured family memories. Lou worked hard and was able to buy homes for his mother, aunts and mother-in-law. He was a regular at the downtown Y (ran a marathon when he was 50) and also sailed with both the Island and National Yacht clubs. He and Marge did weekly dance lessons at Roland and Romaines. When out dancing socially they were often the centre of attention while others stood to watch. In 1981 Marge died after a long battle with leiomyosarcoma. When Lou met his second wife Barbara SCOTT he started a new chapter of his life. Barb introduced him to a new circle of Friends and family and he rediscovered his joy in living. After retirement they moved to Victoria British Columbia He and Barb enjoyed travelling extensively, including cycling in Europe and sailing in Greece. Lou enjoyed family, Friends cooking and long walks. He was a generous supporter of environmental organizations and the Red Cross. He is survived by his wife of 26 years Barbara SCOTT, Victoria; son John, Las Vegas; son Martin (Judy) Delta, British Columbia, daughter Janet (Jim) Victoria; step-daughter Adrienne (Jacques) Ottawa; grandchildren Alanna, Lauren, Michael (Martin), Aidan and Maia (Janet), and step-grandchildren Robin, Andre (Adrienne) and Jordana (Jim). Lou wanted us to remember, appreciate and protect nature and his advice was to enjoy each day without hurting anyone else. His life was a testimony to hard work, generously providing for family and enjoying and caring for this wonderful world. He will be sadly missed and remembered with love. Thanks to the caring doctors nurses and physios at Victoria General Hospital. Private cremation First Memorial Funeral Home, Victoria. No service at his request. Interment will be at Westminster Cemetery, 5830 Bathurst Street, Willowdale, Ontario. A Celebration of Lou's life will be held on Sunday April 20th 2008 at Spencer Castle, Victoria.

EYRE, Carol Marie
Wife, daughter, sister, Human Resources professional, traveller, Disney lover. Born June 27, 1965, in Regina. Died November 13, 2007, in London, Ontario, of colon cancer, aged 42.
By Natalie ROWE, Page L6
To some, Carol might have seemed ordinary. Her favourite sandwich was peanut butter and honey, her snack of choice Old Dutch plain potato chips, her favourite flower the carnation. She drove a sensible car and lived in the same apartment for years.
But to those who knew her, Carol was extraordinary. Born in Regina, the last of Don and Ruth's three children, Carol remained a proud westerner at heart.
Her no-nonsense, confident approach to life began early. In a grainy home movie, she flashes her trademark smile while taking tickets for a grade-school play. Not one to claim the spotlight, she was happy to toil behind the scenes, where dedication and dependability became her hallmarks.
Carol graduated from York University and Seneca College in Toronto. Her work ethic and commitment quickly propelled her up the career ladder to become human resources manager at London Children's Connection, having earned her Certified Human Resources Professional designation.
Travel was her passion. Visiting Yellowknife with her sister, Maureen, Carol cheerfully pronounced the -30°C wind chill a "wonderful dry cold." From Ireland, her ancestral homeland, she proudly sent a postcard of Eyre Square.
Most important to Carol were her close-knit family and her dear husband Phill VANDERPOST, a wedding photographer. Their early dates often featured Carol assisting at shoots. Phill soon proposed, and when the happy day arrived it was replete with Carol's personal touches, such as stuffed Dalmatian toys as table centrepieces. A true Disney fan, she also had a real thing for penguins.
Few realized Carol suffered from Crohn's disease, a chronic, debilitating condition. Even as a liver transplant loomed in her future, Carol preferred to focus on the positive. She and Phill longed for parenthood, but Carol's illness made that a difficult proposition. She was ecstatic when she became pregnant, only to suffer heartbreak when her son, Mark, died at birth.
Although she felt unwell last fall, Carol was determined not to cancel a 10th wedding anniversary trip to Washington. The day after she and Phill returned, she rose early to go to work, but instead fell ill and was rushed to the emergency room. Diagnosed with advanced colon cancer, her symptoms long masked by her Crohn's medication, she never left the hospital.
Hundreds attended her visitation and funeral, where her brother Doug delivered a moving eulogy. The grief etched on so many faces proved Carol was anything but ordinary.
Natalie ROWE is Carol's lifelong friend.
