BOYD,
Richard
Norman, M.D., F.R.C.S.
(June 5, 1944-March 29, 2008)
It is with overwhelming grief that the family of Doctor Richard
BOYD announces his death at age 63 on Saturday, March 29, 2008
after a heart attack and a stroke. Rick took his last breath
held lovingly by his family and close Friends Doctor Frank
DEMARCO
and Doctor Tom
ELSDON.
Rick deeply loved, and was loved by, his
wife of nearly 40 years, Jane
(JOHNSTON,) and cherished his sons
David Richard and Andrew Macartney. Rick adored his beautiful
'daughters' Kristen
(SKINNER) and Lindsay
(GRAY/GREY.) He was predeceased
by his loving parents Doctor Norman and Barbara
BOYD, and father-in-law
Robert 'Mac'
JOHNSTON. He will be profoundly missed by his mother-in-law
Olive JOHNSTON.
Left to mourn are his sisters Judy
MANNING, Mary
HOPKINS
(Ed
DAVEY) and Heather
MUNRO (Bob,) his aunt Dorothy
SEARLE, brother and sister-in-laws Dick and Jane
JOHNSTON, cousins,
nieces and nephews, and a legion of Friends. He was predeceased
by his loyal Bichon Frises, Bijoux and Beaumont. Doctor
BOYD graduated
from the University Of Western Ontario Medical School in 1968.
He obtained his Specialist Fellowship in Urology from the Royal
College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1976, and has since then
practiced Urological Surgery in Windsor. He previously served
as Chief of Surgery, and was currently head of Urology, at the
Windsor Regional Hospital. He was one of the founders of the
prostate cancer Bracytherapy programme at the Windsor Regional
Cancer Centre. In recent years he has also served the community
as a Provincial Coroner for Essex County. Rick was a member of
the Alpha Kappa Kappa medical fraternity. An athlete, Rick ran
27 marathons around the world with a personal best of 2: 48 in
Chicago. He curled in the Ontario Medical Association bonspiels,
and was an avid golfer and scholar of golf history. He was a
member of the Donald Ross Society. He was currently the very
proud President of Essex Golf and Country Club. Rick was a skilled
clinician and diagnostician, and a gentle man who exhibited great
kindness to his patients. He had twinkling blue eyes, a mischievous
smile and a wonderfully wicked sense of humour. Rick's prize
orchids are especially beautiful this spring. Our family thanks
the medical community, both doctors and nurses, who supported
Rick in area hospitals over the years, and especially Ruth Anne
PIETTE and Staci
LEMIEUX who loyally kept his office organized
in spite of him. We thank the doctors and nurses at Windsor Regional
and Hotel Dieu Grace Hospitals who so valiantly tried to save
him: Doctor Rob
WOODALL, Doctor Anthony
GLANZ, Doctor Hash
PATEL, Doctor Natalie
MALUS and Doctor Balraj
JHAWAR, who over five difficult days demonstrated
extraordinary skill, as well as great compassion and love to
our family. Thank you to Carol
DERBYSHIRE and Steve
BRENNAN from
the Hospice of Windsor; Pat
BEST,
Paula
DEEHAN-
SCHMIDT and Chaplain
Joyce JARDIN from Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital; Kim
VAN
ALLEN and
Bishop Bob
BENNETT from All Saints' Church; and our community
for enveloping our family in love and prayers as we ran with
Rick on his last marathon. Always one to put others first, and
ever the healer, Rick has made four gifts of life. His two corneas
will go to enhance sight, and, ironically the "perfect urologist
kidneys" will give life and hope to two patients. In order to
give back to our community which Rick so loved, we ask that in
lieu of flowers, donations be made to organizations that were
so a part of his life: Hospice of Windsor for care of men with
prostate cancer; All Saints' Anglican Church; Windsor Regional
Hospital for a Cystoscopy suite; Windsor Regional Cancer Centre
for the Prostate Brachytherapy Program; and Essex Golf and Country
Club for a croquet pitch and garden in his name. Visiting will
be held at the Walter D. Kelly Funeral Home and Cremation Centre,
1969 Wyandotte St. E. On Monday and Tuesday from 1-4 p.m. and
5-8 p.m. The Funeral Service will be held at All Saints' Anglican
Church, 330 City Hall Square on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 11: 00 a.m.
Cremation to follow. Online condolences and audio messages may

Norman
Cyril
(November 12, 1920-April 8, 2008)

Institute in Toronto. He is remembered forever and deeply missed
by his loving wife

McRAE,
Mary
Frances (née
DENHOLM)
Wife, mother, artist, teacher. Born November 10, 1920, in Taipei,
Taiwan. Died January 8 in Nepean, Ontario, of organ failure,
aged 87.
During Mary's funeral service her framed portrait, standing on
a table, spontaneously fell flat with a resounding bang. Everyone
jumped, then laughed. It was a perfect statement of Mary's strong
character - she would have laughed, too.
Mary was born to medical missionary parents Doctor Kenneth and Myrtle
DENHOLM.
They moved to Parry Sound, Ontario, in 1923, where the
family grew to include two brothers and three sisters.
After high school Mary spent two years at the University of Toronto,
but with the Second World War under way, she switched to a secretarial
course and joined the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (the
Wrens). Her skills were put to service in the navy offices in
Halifax. (Her husband often joked that during the war Mary was
in much greater danger as a beautiful single woman in Halifax
than he ever was flying fighters overseas.)
At war's end Mary returned to Parry Sound and a job at Canadian
Industries
Ltd. In 1946, Bill
McRAE visited town from another
CIL office. He had seen her photograph in a company publication
and wanted to meet her. Two weeks after they met they were engaged,
and two months later they married. During their 61 years together
they moved with Bill's work from Port Arthur, Ontario, to Vancouver,
Timmins, Ontario, Montreal and Toronto, finally retiring in Nepean.
Mary didn't care much for housekeeping, so once her three children
were in school she registered at Queen's University as a correspondence
student and completed the bachelor's degree she had begun before
the war. She began teaching high school in 1963 and enjoyed teaching
for many years. Spending time with young people seemed to keep
her young at heart.
Mary was active in sewing, needlework of all kinds and painting.
Always whistling or singing, she had a way of making things fun.
She had amazing strength, of both body and spirit. Although sometimes
frustrated with her challenges - she had many operations for
lifelong foot problems and often needed crutches or canes - she
could look beyond the immediate problem toward her goal. Even
in her 70s, after two brain operations for benign tumours, she
never lost her sense of humour and good nature. She worked out
strategies for retraining her memory and helping her read novels
again.
Over the last few years of her life Mary was increasingly crippled
by arthritis and gradually withdrew from social engagements.
But she always appreciated the love and support of her family,
adored her six grandchildren and found something to laugh about
every day of her life.
Marilynn McRae
BEST is Mary's daughter.

of defeat. Memorial visitation will be held on Sunday, June 29,
