STEWARD/STEWART/STUART,
Frances
Alma (née
CARSON)
Frances Alma
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, beloved wife of the late Neil
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART,
passed away peacefully on January 24, 2008 at Extendicare Halton
Hills, in her 99th year. Frances was born on December 6, 1909 to
Walter and Minnie
(MacLEOD)
CARSON on the family homestead just
outside of Dundalk on the Backline, Proton. On September 13,
1930 she was married to Neil Glenford
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART of Shrigley.
Neil and Frances lived on the Stewart family farm from the time
of their marriage until 1944, at which time they purchased the
nearby farm of Robert
BAILEY where they remained until 1969 when
they moved to Dundalk in retirement. Neil and Frances worked
side-by-side and were well respected farmers in the area.
During that period, Frances and Neil were active participants
in the Agricultural Society in Dundalk and together they received
an award that acknowledged their contribution. In 2000 Frances
received a 30 year certificate for her volunteer service in the
community.
Frances was also an active member of the Maple Valley Women's
Missionary Society and in 1969 she received a life time achievement
certificate and pin. Members of the Women's Missionary Society
remained in contact with Frances throughout the remainder of
her life.
Frances loved Dundalk and was a well-known and well-loved contributor
to the people of the town. Her delicious cooking and her generous
nature made it common place for those who were unwell to receive
a full chicken dinner for the family or her very delicious date
squares or pie.
Frances and Neil had celebrated their sixty-sixth wedding anniversary
just prior to Neil's passing, December 31, 1996.
Frances is survived by grand_son, Donald
BERRY of Edmonton and
Linda BERRY of Georgetown, by great-grandchildren, Dawn and Andrew
of Edmonton and
by Melissa, Rhonda, Janice and Nadine, all of
Alberta, and by a number of great-great-grandchildren also living
in Alberta. Frances was predeceased by daughter, Helen
DELORES
in 1987 and by grand_son, Neil
BERRY and brothers Ivan and William
CARSON and sisters-in-law Edna and Mary
CARSON.
In May 2003 after a period of ill health, Frances moved to Extendicare
in Georgetown, where she became a much loved resident and she
received constant care and loving attention of nursing/care-giving
staff. Upon arrival she was reconnected with her childhood nickname
of 'Frankie'. Staff spoke often of her great character and nature
and of her desire to continue to do things for herself, which
she continued to do until the final week of her life. While Frances
moved to Extendicare almost five years ago, her heart remained
solidly in Dundalk and she always enjoyed her calls and visits
from family and Friends who offered some 'news' of her beloved
town.
The funeral was held on January 29, 2008 at the McMillan and Jack
Funeral
Home,
Dundalk. Long-time friend, Rev. Willis
HUNKING
was the officiating minister and was capability assisted by his
brother, Clarence's granddaughter, Denise; who also beautifully
sang three favorite hymns. Acting pallbearers were Jack, Bill
and Brad CARSON, Rick
MARCH, Joe
CLEARY and Donald
BELL. Honorary
pallbearers included Therese Haverty

ASHENHURST,
Corinn SMITH and her husband Paul, along with their daughters
Hayleigh and Makenna, and by his grand_son, Rob. To his nieces
and nephews, his great-nieces and nephews and their children,
Carl represented a wise, generous, humourous and kind 'head of
the clan' and he will be long grieved. Carl started life in Goodwood,
in Uxbridge Township, Ontario and worked his first paid job at
the age of 7, weeding carrots for $0.10 an hour. He was a gifted
athlete, excelling particularly in hockey and lacrosse. He started
working as a bookkeeper in New Brunswick at the age of 19 and
worked his way up through the mining industry to top executive
positions in mines such as Heath Steele Mines, Mattagami Lake
Mines, Stanley Uranium and Noranda Mines. During this time he
helped to raise his family and became a Chartered Accountant.
He ended his employment with Noranda as Vice President, Finance.
After retiring for a year or so, Carl then started working on
the financing of the Blackdome Mine in British Columbia. As President
and Chief Executive Officer of Blackdome Mine, he and his team
built and brought the gold mine into full production in record
time, a culmination of all that he had garnered in his 40+ years
in the mining industry of Canada. Carl had a wide circle of close
Friends and loved a game of golf, a game of cards and especially
a long chin-wag. Most of all Carl loved his family both related
and extended. He leaves behind many precious lessons and we absorbed
those lessons by his example. Work hard. Play harder. Love hardest.

ASHLEY--In memory of a wonderful Dad, Grandpa and Old Grandpa, Mervin
ASHLEY who passed away on July 25, 2007.
One year has gone by and everyday we think of you and miss you
Thank you for all the wonderful memories,
We miss your kindness, thoughtfulness and just being there when we needed someone,
Your little Angels talk of Old Grandpa and miss the jelly beans, they watch your star at night,
Your empty chair still waits at Loco Beanz where so many people came and chatted,
We were so fortunate to have the time we spent with you
All the chats and wonderful things we learned about you over the last few years,
We know that God knew the suffering you were going through and took you to a place of peace,
The horrible hurt of losing you has lessened day by day and is replaced
with wonderful memories and a peace in knowing that you are in a better
place and free from pain.
We have the hope that we will see you again.

John ASHLEY, 77 Athlete
National Hockey League official believed 'nobody ever paid to
see a referee work'
By Josh BROWN,
Canadian
Press;
Globe and Mail archives, Page
S8
Kitchener, Ontario -- Being an National Hockey League referee
could be trying at times, but John
ASHLEY never let the crowd
get to him.
"My dad's commentary was, 'if they're watching me, they're missing
one helluva good game,' his daughter, Kristine
BAILEY, recalled.
"I think I heard him say that hundreds of times.
"Most people don't like officials. You either love them or hate
them. He used to just laugh it off and say it's apart of the
game."
Mr. ASHLEY, who was a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, called
more than 650 National Hockey League games over the years. Regarded
as a tolerant arbiter who was willing to let the game proceed
until the childish hacking of the players became a factor, he
was fond of saying that "nobody ever paid to see a referee work.
The players wanted to play. I'd let them."
Raised in Preston, Ontario, he hit the ice as a youngster and
forged a successful hockey career playing for the Toronto Marlies
and Guelph Biltmores on the Junior A circuit, before moving on
to stints with Pittsburgh and Syracuse in the American Hockey
League.
"Then they sold me to Eddie Shore at Springfield, and that's
when I quit," he told the late Paul Patton of The Globe and Mail
in 1987. After that, he joined a senior hockey club in Stratford,
Ontario, "but when the league went broke, I turned to officiating
just for something to do. It turned out longer than I expected."
Although a talented player, he had the wisdom to recognize he
had better prospects as an official and donned the zebra stripes.
He refereed one year in the American and Central leagues, served
as a linesman in the National Hockey League for 17 games, and
then turned to refereeing in 1959. He soon established himself
as one of the most reliable referees in the business.
Mr. ASHLEY refereed 622 regular season games and 58 playoff matchups
during his 13-year on-ice career in the National Hockey League.
From 1964-72, he worked every Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs
a sure sign of respect.
Over the years, he experienced his share of problems. Jack Riley,
the general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins, once complained
that he called too many penalties against expansion teams; Bill
Jennings, the New York Rangers' president, threatened to protest
any games he officiated (Mr. Jennings was upset after a Chicago
Blackhawk player threw his stick on to the ice to a teammate
who had broken his stick, and the referee missed it); in 1969,
Red Kelly, then coaching at Pittsburgh, said he was patently
biased against expansion teams. To balance all the criticism,
Toronto
Maple
Leafs manager Punch Imlach said Mr.
ASHLEY was
welcome to handle every Leaf game he wanted.
"Officiating is a one-way street," Mr.
ASHLEY said. "Every time
a team loses, they blame the referee, but that's a cop-out. When
they win, no one remembers who the referee was. Hockey would
be in an awful mess if the officials made as many mistakes as
the players."
Mr. ASHLEY said he did not know a lot about officiating when
he started, "but I had been on the other side of the fence as
a player, so I knew how hockey players thought, how they reacted.
I was used to all the noise in the rink. When people yelled at
me, I'd tell them 'Keep hollering! Come back and bring your Friends.
You're paying my salary…' "
As for his prejudice against expansion teams, Mr.
ASHLEY said
he simply preferred the standard of play to be found in the "original
six."
"My God, we had some awful tough players when there were only
six teams," he told The Globe's Allen Abel in 1981. "They use
the word 'goon' a lot these days, but how could you call players
like Ted Lindsay and Fernie Flaman goons when they were getting
you 25 goals a year? They knew how to play hockey. Now you've
got players, the people are screaming for blood and thunder,
and they get 200 minutes in penalties and score five goals all
season. Don't you think the people would rather cheer for somebody
who could help win a hockey game?"
For all that rough play, he said he never saw anything on the
ice that frightened him. "I had the game when Pat Quinn hit Bobby
Orr; remember what a big deal they made about that? If it hadn't
been Orr, nobody would have said a word. I didn't think it was
anything."
Although Mr. Quinn's crunching check during the 1969 playoffs
between the Leafs and the Boston Bruins is today regarded as
the final blow that did in Mr. Orr's knees, the veteran referee
shrugged it off as business as usual: "They talk about violence
today… it's just people crying."
At a personal level, Mr.
ASHLEY was a fun-loving father who took
family members on the road across North America while he worked,
in part for the thrill, in part for company. At one game, his
daughter Kristine said he asked an usher to keep an eye on her
while he worked. "He would say 'watch the game, cheer for everybody
and don't tell anybody who you are' " she said. "He was always
objective. He liked to watch a good hockey game. He never cared
who won or lost. That wasn't his job. He really had a good appreciation
for players and officials who were talented."
In 1971, he worked the seventh games of the quarter-final, semi-final
and final in the Stanley Cup playoffs. "There's a lot of pressure,
but those are the easiest games because players are afraid to
make mistakes. The first and third games of a series, the ones
that open a building, are the toughest. You get three things
out of this business: The satisfaction of knowing that you did
a good job, your cheque every payday and the next year when they
rehire you."
Mr. ASHLEY retired that same year but remained with the National
Hockey League as a talent scout for officials. He was inducted
into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1981.
John ASHLEY was born in Galt, Ontario, in 1930. He died of heart
failure at Saint Mary's Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario, last Saturday.
He was 77. He is survived by his wife, June, and by daughter
Kristine and son Tom. He also leaves his brother, Doug.
