McLEOD, Thomas Hector MacDonald "Tommy"
Thomas McLEOD was born in Weyburn, Saskatchewan in August 1918. He was an only child. He took his schooling in Weyburn, graduating from Weyburn Collegiate with honours. It was in Weyburn that Tommy met T.C. Douglas, the young Baptist minister who would play such an important role in his life. During the Depression, Douglas organized a boys' group which devoted its time to sports and boxing, and to debating and drama. Douglas was a graduate of Brandon College, and persuaded several of his 'boys' to attend that venerable institution. There Tommy received a B.A. with distinction. After a Masters degree from Indiana University, he was urged by President Evans to come back to Brandon to teach Economics, where he stayed for three years and also met his beloved wife Beryl.
In 1944, when T.C. Douglas led the Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation party to a landslide election victory in Saskatchewan, Premier Douglas asked Tommy to come and work for the new government. Tommy said that he would have to consult with the College; Douglas breezily replied that he had already sent his resignation to the President. Thus began an exciting period of his life, beginning as advisor to the premier and general troubleshooter, taking on assignments as Secretary of Health Services Planning, Secretary of the Economic Planning Board, Chair of the new Budget Bureau, and ending as Deputy Provincial Treasurer. In between jobs, he earned two degrees from Harvard University, a Masters in Public Administration and a PhD in Economics.
When University of Saskatchewan President W.P. Thompson called in 1952, offering the position of Dean of the College of Commerce, Tommy decided to begin a new challenge. He enjoyed the Saskatoon experience immensely. During this period he also served on several boards and commissions, chairing the Saskatchewan Commission on Taxation.
In 1964 Tommy returned to Regina as Dean of Arts and Vice Principal at the new university. In 1971, the Canadian International Development Agency offered a broader mandate, where Tommy joined the senior ranks of Canadian International Development Agency travellers, attempting to sort out administrative problems in several countries, including Turkey, Iran, Nigeria, and Botswana. So the family moved to Ottawa, where they stayed for 26 years. Tommy moved from Canadian International Development Agency to the Federal Management Institute, acted as administrator of the Anti-Inflation Board, and held other management positions. Among other honours, he was especially pleased to be awarded the Vanier Medal from the Institute of Public Administration in 1971 and the Order of Canada in 2003. He co-wrote a popular biography of T.C. Douglas with his son Ian; Tommy Douglas, Road to Jerusalem was published in 1987.
In 1997 Tommy moved to Victoria, loving the gardens and life style. He died there peacefully on New Years' Day, 2008. He leaves behind his loving wife and companion of over 62 years, Beryl, children Beth BILSON, Ellen (John HEANEY), Ian (Vicki McLEOD), Brian (Lorraine THOMAS,) and Morna (David FIRMAN,) grandchildren Max BILSON (Jane CHAPCO,) Kate BILSON (Paul BEKE,) Martin and Brendan HEANEY, Adrienne and Kelly Firman McLEOD, and Tom and Will McLEOD. His family and many Friends will remember his wit and wisdom, his sincere modesty, his devotion to family, and pride in his children's many accomplishments, his unfailing good humour, his rapport with students, his negotiating and administrative skills, his ability to relate to almost everybody, and his keen interest in music, books, cooking and gardening. Indicative of his wide ranging tastes was that his favourite poets were Robert Burns and Rumi.
(Epitaph)
Know thou, O stranger to the fame
Of this much loved, much honoured name
(For none that knew him need be told)
A warmer heart death ne'er made cold.
Robert Burns
A memorial service will be arranged at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Tommy and Beryl McLeod scholarships at Brandon University, 18th St. Brandon, Manitoba, or donations to United Nations Children's Fund or the Stephen Lewis Foundation would be appreciated.

Richard began his successful law career with Robarts Betts McLennan and Flynn in London, Ontario, followed by eleven years with the Federal Department of Justice, Tax Litigation group, in Toronto. Since 1981, he has been a tax partner at McMillan Binch Mendelsohn. Richard was gregarious, generous, witty, loyal and fair. He was resolutely uncomplaining in the face of almost everything except bad weather that kept him off the golf course. Friends are invited to the Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Ave. West, Toronto (2 stoplights west of Yonge Street), on Monday, April 7 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Remembrance Service will be held on Tuesday, April 8 at 11 a.m. at Grace Church on-the-Hill, 300 Lonsdale Road, Toronto (north of St. Clair Avenue West, east of Spadina Road). In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Alzheimer Society of Toronto, an organization that Richard and Sharon supported.

BARNES, Phyllis Ivy
Joyful spirit, United Church minister, environmental and social-justice activist, feminist, poet. Born December 15, 1925, in Arkona, Ontario Died February 20, 2008, in London, Ontario, of natural causes, aged 82.
By Hilary THOMAS, Page L8
Phyllis BARNES was born to a farm family, the second of four children.
As a young woman, she spread her wings and experienced work, education, travel and living in different places. But the farm and her family remained her rock. She was pulled between the city and country for their different gifts, but happily she never had to choose one over the other.
Phyllis began her working life in the army at 18. She was a social worker for many years. At 52, she returned to school to become a United Church minister. Her farm background suited her for the rural charge near London, Ontario, where she served as pastor for nine years.
As a single woman, Phyllis had sacrificed material security to study at university. Although somewhat strapped for cash in retirement, she never regretted her decision. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world," she said. She had heard the call, and it was "Feed my sheep."
Cooking and the breaking of bread brought her into a greater intimacy with others. She loved to have people over for lunch or supper, recruiting the guest to chop vegetables and help with the dishes while chatting about the subjects nearest to her heart - the environment, social justice and her exploration of feminist spirituality. Even late in her life, when she could hardly move because of the pain in her hips, she would invite people to lunch.
Phyllis loved gardening, and although later on she didn't have her own plot, she was rarely without a garden somewhere to work. The family home in Arkona had a huge garden where she planted vegetables, but she visited too infrequently to keep giant weeds at bay. Nonetheless, at harvest time she would fill her car trunk with vegetables to share with her Friends in the city.
After her retirement from the ministry, Phyllis continued to expand her own spiritual life through the exploration of dream work, drumming and poetry. It was hard for her to settle down to focus on writing poems because she was always so busy. But thanks to her Friends' encouragement, she published a chapbook called Come Dance With Me that beautifully reflected her joyful essence.
In her later years, Phyllis was challenged by serious health issues that finally slowed her down. One of her saddest days was when she had to give up her car. Her wings had been clipped, and she needed family and Friends to take her out and come to see her.
With her health declining, she moved from her apartment into a nursing home. But she bore all her trials with grace, trusting that God and life would not let her down.
Hilary THOMAS is Phyllis's friend.
