Friends until the end
By Joe BELANGER,
Fri.,
July 4, 2008
Strathroy -- Dan
MEDEIROS and Jon
DESA did almost everything
together, including graduating from high school last week.
Now, tragically, the two 17-year-olds -- best Friends -- will
be buried on the same day.
Their joint funeral tomorrow will bring together family and Friends
of the Strathroy teens killed in a two-car crash Wednesday night
that sent two other people to hospital, including their 18-year-old
pal Brian COSTA, who was driving the car in which the two youths
died.
"They were just awesome young adults," said principal Dan
HOWARD
of Holy Cross Catholic secondary school, where a memorial service
is scheduled today at 11 a.m. "Last week, I gave both of them
their diplomas,"
HOWARD said. "This is a very good community
and they were part of it."
Shock and sadness ripped through the heart of the tight-knit
town of 12,000, as news of the tragedy spread.
The young men were killed instantly in a two-car crash on Hickory
Drive near McEvoy Road about 10: 30 p.m.
COSTA, also of Strathroy, was in serious but stable condition
at London Health Sciences Centre.
The other car driver, a woman whose name wasn't released, was
taken to Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital and kept for observation.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but Strathroy-Caradoc
police said alcohol was not a factor.
It was raining heavily at the time, police said, when the east-bound
COSTA car went out of control near a curve and collided with
the other car, which was travelling west.
"You couldn't ask for two better guys," said Brad
LALICH, who
went to school with
MEDEIROS and
DESA and worked with
MEDEIROS
at a construction recycling company.
He described both his Friends as "very hard-working guys" who
had after-school and summer jobs.
"Both were happy, happy guys," said
LALICH. "
Dan was always smiling,
and if you ever needed to be picked up because you were having
a bad day, Dan could do it."
Earlier, the three Friends had been at the home of Jonathan
MONIZ,
15, and were on their way home when the crash occurred. "They
were great guys -- amazing guys -- who lived life to the fullest,"
said a saddened
MONIZ, 15.
HOWARD said counsellors were to be at the school today at 9 a.m.
to help any students or staff.
"I can't say enough about those boys," he said. "They contributed
to the school and the community. This is a very close community
and everyone knows everyone and everyone knew these boys. They
will be missed very much."
Teacher and athletics director Pat Moran, who taught both students
in Grades 9 and 10, said they loved soccer and shop classes,
such is auto mechanics and construction.
"It's a big shock to this community," said
MORAN. "
They got along
with everybody."
DESA is survived by his parents, John and Lisa, and two sisters,
Monique and Mackenzie.
MEDEIROS is survived by his parents, John and Darlene, and sister
Amanda.
Visitation is at Denning Brothers Funeral Home, 32 Metcalfe St. W.,
today from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., with a funeral tomorrow at All Saints
Roman Catholic Church, 124 Front St. E., in Strathroy at 11 a.m.

GREGOR,
Tibor
Philip
Tibor Philip
GREGOR, industry executive, passionate Rotarian,
keen tennis player and a veteran of World War 2 service as a
Czechoslovak in the allied forces attached to the British army,
died at his home on Saturday, February 2nd, 2008. He was 88 years
old. A proud Canadian by choice and a Torontonian for over half
a century, Tibor was an irrepressible optimist. He was a bright,
garrulous -- and willing -- public speaker who addressed countless
groups around Canada and the world in multiple languages on subjects
ranging from Haiti's water needs to the particulars of the soft
drink industry, whose association he directed for 16 years after
a career in the office equipment and sand and gravel businesses.
Tibor's firm belief in community service, bolstered by help he,
a penniless refugee, received from a Rotary Club in the London
suburb of Watford, led him to join the Rotary Club of Millom,
Cumberland in 1949. Over the next six decades he served as president
of the Toronto Eglinton Rotary Club, a District Governor, a Director
and Treasurer of Rotary International, and Trustee of the Rotary
Foundation. He travelled the globe representing numerous presidents
of Rotary International, and he proudly celebrated 50 years of
perfect attendance at weekly Rotary meetings. Tibor also served
in leadership positions at the Metro Toronto and Canadian Associations
for the Mentally Retarded, was founding president of the Friends
of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, a member of the City of
Toronto Citizens Centenary Committee. He participated actively
in the life of the Ionic Lodge, the Royal Canadian Military Institute
and the Czech Legion in Canada. At home, Tibor was a fierce and
able tennis player. (He played his final match last October at
the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club, where he was a member for half
a century.) He bolstered the growth of Toronto's art community
in kinship with his beloved Helen, an internationally-known tapestry
designer and the mother of their two children, Jan and Anne.
After
Helen's death in 1989, Tibor married Val
COSTA, a dear
friend and companion, who predeceased him. Tibor was seen constantly
among Friends, emitting clouds of smoke from the pipes that were
as much a part of Tibor as his blue eyes and wide smile topped
by a narrow, bushy moustache. Against considerable evidence to
the contrary, Tibor was convinced of the charm of his ubiquitous
clouds of smoke. It kept pipe smokers 'calm, cool and collected,'
he used to say as he railed about the growing opposition to smoking.
This was the public Tibor. Close Friends and family will remember
him as a loving and witty man, a tender father and companion,
someone who spoke proudly of his worldwide circle of Friends
from all generations. He communicated in the old style. Tibor
was a prolific correspondent, a fast typist of thousands of missives.
His recollection of high-school Latin was formidable, with Cicero
and Cato close at hand for discussions. Tibor Philip
GREGOR was
born April 25th, 1919 in Levoca, a medieval town that looks up
to the Tatra Mountains of Slovakia. An outstanding student, he
attended the London School of Economics, but war intervened.
His extensive army service included a landing on Day 3 at the
Normandy beaches, followed by the hard battles of the Allied
march across Europe. His arrival as one of the first allied military
at the Dachau concentration camp was an experience he spoke of
only in his later years. After the war he and Helen emigrated
to Canada to build a new life with their children. Tibor is survived
by his loving son, Jan Michael, his daughter, Anne Helena, his
granddaughter, Martha Alice Helen
ROSE and son-in-law, Frederick
Barker ROSE and the countless Friends who visited and called,
sent cards, emails and letters during Tibor's short illness.
A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m., Friday, February 8,
at Rosedale United Church, 159 Roxborough Drive, Toronto with
a reception to follow at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club, 44 Price
Street. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in
his name to endow Czech language and cultural studies at the
University of Toronto. Cheques should be made out to the University
of Toronto and sent to: Office of Advancement, Faculty of Arts and
Science, 100 St. George Street, Suite 2032, Toronto, Ontario
