Known to all as "Archie", a resident of Chatham, passed away
surrounded by the love of his children, on Friday, June 13, 2008,
at Meadowpark Nursing Home. Born at the home of his grandparents
in Ridgetown 89 years ago to his late parents David Allen Lee
MacDONALD (1946) and Catherine
(McARTHUR)
MacDONALD (1931) Predeceased
by his loving wife of 47 years, the late Eileen
(RISEBOROUG)
MacDONALD (1999.) Although afflicted by Alzheimers for the past
number of years, Archie was very much able to convey his love
and support to his children David
MacDONALD of Chatham, and Kevin
MacDONALD and his wife
Cheryl of Wardsville, through big smiles
and an ever eager appetite as always! Grandpa will be sadly missed
by Ian MacDONALD,
Darrin
EVANS, Michael
MacDONALD, and Stephen
MacDONALD, and is now joined in heaven with his grandchildren
the late Richard (1998) and Laura (1985). Also survived by great-grandchildren
Isaac MacDONALD, Ethan
EVANS, Isabella
MacDONALD, and Emma
MacDONALD.
Archie, the oldest of five children, is survived by his sister
Margaret CLARKE, brother Allan and his wife
Betty
MacDONALD, and
brother Ross
MacDONALD.
Predeceased by sister Jean
WATSON, sister
in-law Donna
MacDONALD, and brother in-law James
CLARKE.
Archie
was a born farmer and most of his early years were spent working
in agriculture as a labourer, especially during harvest season.
He enlisted in 1940 and served in the Second World War. He was
in England, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Germany, and returned home
the day after his father died on January 23, 1946. After the
war, Archie continued his dedication to hard work, travelling
to Western Canada as a farm hand during harvest season. He also
worked as security on the railroad while he was out West, and
in meat packing plants in Winnipeg. He returned home to work
as a dispatcher for a transport company, a shipper at National
Grocers, and even had his own Taxi company. In 1956 he became
an Insurance Representative and the rest is history. He was Top
Seller Million Dollar Round Table for three years. Archie started
his own Broker business in 1989. He always worked for his clients
and was trusted by all. He was involved in church life through
A.O.T.S. Men's Club, and personal issues for himself and individuals
through Alcoholics Anonymous. In September he would have celebrated
46 years of sobriety through A.A. A Special thank you to Doctor Tom
PERKIN who always made himself available to help us learn to
deal with dad's illness. He helped us maximize his quality of
life and maintain his personal dignity. And finally to each and
every person at Meadowpark Nursing Home for the exceptional quality
of care you provided for our father for the past 5 years, you
all know who you are! Thanks to you all! The MacDonald family

Ottawa photographer chronicled Rideau Hall for almost 20 years
Until 1982, he photographed every governor-general and prime
minister, beginning with Lord Alexander of Tunis and Louis St. Laurent.
Along the way, he became good Friends with John Diefenbaker
By Buzz BOURDON,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Page S8
Ottawa -- John
EVANS photographed a lot of people over his 50-year
career, from queens and prime ministers to ordinary people who
just wanted their lives recorded, but he always tried to treat
all his subjects with the same courtesy.
Working as the official photographer to four governors-general
(Georges Vanier, Roland Michener, Jules Leger and Edward Schreyer),
Mr. EVANS was a fixture at Rideau Hall in Ottawa for 18 straight
years. No matter what the event - state dinners, Order of Canada
investitures, group photos of the federal cabinet or royal visits
- he was there to capture it on film from 1964 to 1982.
During those years, Mr.
EVANS, who often wore a monocle, took
the photos of an impressive array of world leaders, including
U.S. president Richard Nixon and Pope John Paul II. For more
than 30 years, he photographed every governor-general and prime
minister, beginning with Field Marshal Viscount Alexander of
Tunis and prime minister Louis St. Laurent. He made many Friends
along the way, including John Diefenbaker, before he became leader
of the Progressive Conservative party.
Mr. EVANS saw so much of the Queen when she was in Ottawa that
the two were on excellent terms, said his wife, Dody. He first
took her photo at the end of the Second World War, when she was
a princess and heir apparent to the throne. "When she came [to
Canada], he was always there. She was very friendly - down to
earth," Mrs.
EVANS said.
In 1977, the Queen and Prince Philip visited Canada to celebrate
her silver jubilee, 25 years after she ascended to the throne.
Not only did Mr.
EVANS cover that visit for Rideau Hall, but
he also took the official jubilee portrait. The Queen wore a
long white gown and a tiara, while Prince Philip was dressed
in the blue patrol uniform of colonel-in-chief of the Royal Canadian
Regiment, complete with sword. Both wore the star and sash of
the Order of the Garter. That portrait, taken with an 1880 Topley
wooden-framed camera that produced eight-by-10-inch negatives,
has since been reproduced countless times.
Mr. EVANS owned three tuxedos - one of which always hung in his
office in case he needed it in a hurry. But he never hesitated
to bend the rules of protocol to get the best shot. A perfect
example was in 1968, when Pierre Trudeau succeeded Lester Pearson
as prime minister. Mr.
EVANS was required to take a photo of
the country's new leader, his cabinet and Mr. Michener.
As the subjects were taking their places, Mr.
EVANS noticed that
the neckties of the governor-general and Mr. Trudeau appeared
to be askew. Marching smartly up to both men in the middle of
the front row, he politely asked them to straighten their ties.
They knew he was in charge of taking the picture, so they had
no choice but to comply. The moment was captured by a Canadian
Press photographer, whose shot appeared in newspapers across
the country. Mr. Trudeau appeared sheepish while Mr. Michener
looked upset. For once, Mr.
EVANS was in the photo, instead of
behind the camera.
That small moment, while trivial in itself, summarized Mr.
EVANS
philosophy. "Be aggressive when it's necessary, but be diplomatic
at the same time. The prime thing is to be a good mixer," he
told the Ottawa Citizen in 1981. "You may have to meet Her Majesty
the Queen, or a sewer worker. But either way, you have to meet
them on their own ground."
John EVANS grew up in Bristol, England, the
son of a ship's carpenter
who later became a cabinet maker. He first saw the inside of
a darkroom at 13, when he got a job with the Bristol Evening
News. They didn't let him take photos, but they did let him clean
up. He eventually was allowed to carry a photographer's equipment.
During the Second World War, he joined the Royal Navy but was
let go after three days, when doctors discovered that an old
hip injury had caused his right leg to be shorter than his left.
He drove an ambulance for the rest of the war.
After studying photography at the Polytechnic Institution in
London, he became a staff photographer for English Electric,
the manufacturer. In 1948, he decided to try his luck in Canada
and arrived in Toronto in October with just $21 in his pocket
and a burning desire to make something of himself. He knew not
a soul in the whole country.
For the next few months, he wrapped parcels at Simpson's for
the Christmas season and sold shoes. Then he got a job with Rapid
Grip and Batten, a photographic engraving and printing firm.
They sent him to Ottawa as a manager and he started taking photos.
After that, he never looked back.
Covering all sorts of events for the photo agency Capital Press,
Mr. EVANS took pictures that appeared in both the Ottawa Journal
and the Ottawa Citizen. A vocal person who loved to tell stories
and share his good humour, he met everyone in town, from municipal
politicians and firemen to police officers and the butler at
Laurier House. Sitting in the kitchen with the butler, he got
to chat with Mackenzie King, who had retired a year earlier as
prime minister.
Mr. EVANS covered fires, society weddings, service club luncheons,
art gallery openings and Rideau Hall events. He photographed
cabinet minister C.D. Howe - the "minister for everything" -
in his shirt sleeves launching a bowling ball down a lane.
His photos also appeared in U.S. publications, including Life
and Time. Waiting at Ottawa's Union Station for the arrival of
a group of international statesmen - then, just about everybody
still travelled by train - he shot Clement Attlee and Winston
Churchill of Britain and Dwight Eisenhower of the United States
with a Speed Graphic camera. At an Ottawa fire hall, he photographed
a group of excited schoolboys sitting in a fire truck and wearing
fire helmets.
Some photo opportunities were more relaxed than others, but some
were nerve-wracking, especially when world leaders and celebrities
were present. Staking out his spot in the midst of a dozen other
photographers, Mr.
EVANS waited patiently for just the right
moment. "There's a lot of pressure on the job. Nine times out
of 10, you don't have a second chance," he said.
By 1964, Mr.
EVANS was ready to strike out on his own. It was
a huge gamble because he was "flat broke" and married with three
children to support. But he was convinced he could make it as
an independent photographer. First, he went to see a friend for
a small favour.
That friend was Mr. Diefenbaker. While he was no longer prime
minister (he had lost a general election to Lester Pearson the
year before), Mr. Diefenbaker was still a man of influence. Two
days later, Mr.
EVANS received a $10,000 dollar loan from the
federally run Industrial Development Bank. He rented a store
on Sussex Drive and John Evans Photography Ltd. was open for
business.
"He and Dief were good Friends," Mrs.
EVANS said. "[They] had
a good rapport; they liked each other."
They called themselves "the two Johns," she said. "Olive [Diefenbaker]
would send us a Christmas ornament every year. John was always
there [at 24 Sussex Drive] on jobs and I went with him to carry
the equipment. Olive said, 'Bring Dody!' "
Once in business for himself, Mr.
EVANS worked seven days a week
and took just about every job that came his way. "We worked bloody
hard in those days," Mrs.
EVANS said. "If you worked hard you
did well."
From fine-art reproductions for the National Gallery of Canada
to corporate industrial jobs and department-store fashion shoots,
everything was good. "I'll do any kind of photography for an
honest dollar," he told the Citizen.
Even so, after having photographed thousands of people over the
years, he never claimed to have a favourite subject. "He liked
everybody," said Mrs.
EVANS. "
He'd follow a family, from the
wedding, christening, Christmas photos, [to their children's]
engagements."
Mr. EVANS employed eight people and later opened a framing shop
with his son, Peter. Portraits of famous people covered his walls,
from Joe Clark of the Progressive Conservative party to Margaret
Trudeau cradling her four-day-old son Justin. That photo of mother
and child graced more than 120 magazine covers around the world.
But although his business blossomed, the atmosphere changed at
Rideau Hall in 1982, when Jeanne Sauvé was appointed governor-general.
Mr. EVANS didn't speak French, and he was soon on the outs.
In 1995, he decided to retire. He sold most of his equipment
and devoted himself to woodworking and travelling with his wife.
In 1998, he suffered a stroke that left him walking with a cane.
A second one, in 2000, left his mind clear but took his speech.
The 140,000 negatives he created were distributed to the city
of Ottawa archives, Library and Archives Canada and the Rideau
Hall archives.
John Henry
EVANS was born October 22, 1924, in Bristol, England.
He died of pneumonia in Ottawa on November 3. He was 83. He leaves
Dody, his wife of 56 years, daughter Susan and son Rod. His son
Peter predeceased him.

McEACHERN,

Davis (1926-2008)
It is with gratitude for a life well-lived that his family announces
the passing of Allan Davis

by his wife of 44 years, Gloria, he is survived by his loving
wife Madam Justice Mary
NEWBURY, his daughters Jean
WILLIAMS
(Michael) and Joanne
EVANS
(John,) his grandchildren Bria, Stephen,
Jenna, Laura, Rosalind and Ian, his brother Bruce, his sister
Lillian McDONELL, and many nieces and nephews. Allan was the
grand_son and
son of pioneering British Columbia families who
instilled in him a love of 'God's country', the magnificent natural
setting of British Columbia and an appreciation of his Scottish
heritage. In his earlier school years he spent the winters in
Penticton due to his asthma but later was able to stay in Vancouver
and attend high school at Kitsilano and Lord Byng, where he made
many lifelong Friends. He spent his youth playing team sports
(rugby and football) and swimming in the waters of English Bay,
where later in life he spent his leisure time 'crashing around
the Bay' in his sailboats Skye I, II, and
III. He also loved
the mountains of western Canada and treasured the memory of a
summer spent as fire lookout above Lake Louise. Allan attended
University of British Columbia and completed his B.A. and Bachelor
of Law degrees (l950). He practiced law at Russell and DuMoulin
(now Fasken Martineau DuMoulin) in Vancouver for 28 years before
his appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of British
Columbia and later as Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal of
British Columbia. Law was his passion. He loved the collegiality
of the profession and firmly believed in the Shakespearean principle
'Strive mightily in court, but eat and drink as Friends.' All
those he befriended attest to his integrity, humility, energy,
intelligence and sense of humour. He was a superlative mentor
to many talented law students and took great pride in his establishment
of the Inns of Court program. He was a progressive Chief Justice
in that he initiated and encouraged the use of computers by all
judges, set up an interactive webpage and created a Legal Compendium
for the public to keep abreast of legal decisions. Many female
lawyers and judges owe much to his efforts to open the profession
to women. In addition to his profession, he co-founded the Kats
Rugby Club and was actively involved with the British Columbia
Lions and the Canadian Football League for many years. More recently,
he wished to acknowledge the important role University of British
Columbia had contributed to his many successes in life, and accepted
the Alumni Association's nomination to run as Chancellor. It
was a position he held with great pride and dignity for almost
6 years. We are blessed for having known and loved this remarkable
man. In keeping with Allan's wishes, there will be a reception
held at a future date. He requested that in lieu of flowers,
donations be made to establish a University of British Columbia
Law Scholarship for a deserving student so that he or she might
have the opportunities Allan had.

EVANS,
Kenneth
Warren
Passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 9, 2008 in the Palliative
Care Unit of Parkwood Hospital, London, Ontario, with his wife,
Marianne, by his side. Ken was born in Montreal, August 31, 1926,
an only child to the late Albert
EVANS and Dora
THORNE. At the
age of fourteen Ken and his parents moved to Toronto where he
attended Oakwood Collegiate Institute. At age seventeen he left
school and embarked on a fifty-two year career in the property/casualty
insurance industry. His first job was with the venerable old
British firm, the Union Insurance Society of Canton on King Street.
Ken began as a clerk in the accounting department and eventually
became a marine underwriter. This Company spawned many success
stories in the property/casualty insurance industry. Due to a
General Manager by the name of Jim Price, who died suddenly,
a group was formed to honour his memory and was named 'The Old
Cantonese Society'. This group met yearly at a black tie dinner
in a downtown Toronto hotel and was officially disbanded after
40 years. In 1944, and shortly after his eighteenth birthday
Ken enlisted in the Army during World War 2 he never left Canadian
soil and did the usual training but, alas, the War ended in 1945 and
he was as discharged. Upon release from service he returned to
the Union of Canton. He was an articulate and well read man with
a sharp wit and a penchant for silly humour. His interest in
music was catholic and open-minded, ranging from E. Power Biggs
to Frank Sinatra, Neil Young and the Beatles. Ken enjoyed many
late hours with his father philosophizing and listening to their
shared taste in music over a bottle of Remy Martin. His son,
George, also had the good fortune to spend many late hours with
his father, and listening to a new brand of music that Ken eventually
embraced. He moved to The Travelers Insurance Company and was
eventually appointed Assistant Manager for Canada. In 1969 he
was asked to take over the Canadian Operation of the Reliance
Insurance Co. of Philadelphia. In 1973 Ken was asked to join
The Insurance Corporation of Ireland (Canada) Ltd. of which he
was so proud because he had birthed and nurtured the Canadian
Operation and, ultimately, was devastated by its shut down due
to overseas in-house problems in the London office. Over a twelve
year period Ken was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the
Canadian Operation. He enjoyed over twenty years of membership
at Markland Wood Country Club. His group of four golfing buddies
was known as the T.A.T.S. Group (That's A True Story). They enjoyed
each other's company and shared a lot of laughter together, with
some golf thrown in for good measure. Ken is the last member
of that group to pass on. He is predeceased by former wife Ethel.
Together, they raised three children - Warren, Victoria and George
(Hazel); grandfather to Michael Warren, Louisa and Noah. A man
who was known to take a drink, Ken had enormous stamina and drive
and loved to be the last man to leave the party. He was also
regarded as a man of integrity and, with all the success that
he enjoyed in business, he never lost the common touch. But the
last years were not kind to Ken as his body succumbed to a lifetime
of hard work, drinking and smoking. He will be lovingly remembered
by his devoted wife, Marianne
GENISE, who nursed him throughout
his long illness. His adored Labrador, Bella, was a constant
source of comfort and joy to him. Special thanks to Hospice of
London; Personal Support Workers Saffie, Linda and Helen; Doctor Maurice
BUTCHEY (who's sartorial attire Ken always admired;) nurses Cheryl,
Barb, Liz and Mary in the Palliative Care Unit of Parkwood Hospital.
Special thanks, also, to wonderful Friends for their tireless
devotion throughout Ken's illness; the daily phone calls, chauffeuring,
visiting, meals, meals and more meals, really good humour and,
of course, caring for our Bella. Visitation will be held at the
Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, on Friday
from 2: 00-4:00 p.m. and 7:00-9:00 p.m. A Celebration of Ken's
life will be conducted at Saint Paul's Cathedral, 472 Richmond
Street, on Saturday, February 16th, 2008 at 1: 30 p.m. with Archdeacon
D. Ian Grant officiating. Cremation with interment of ashes at
Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto at a later date. If so desired,
donations may be made to Hospice of London. 'death is not the

Phoebe was an enthusiastic member of the Montreal General Hospital
auxiliary working in the Hospitality Shop, always making time
to listen to those that needed that kindness. Her participation
at the Atwater Club spanned half a century playing badminton
and tennis well into her eighties. In the 1970s, Phoebe was crew
to sailor husband Ernest, sailing in 420 regattas off Dorval
Naval Base and upriver. Our Mom was always involved in our activities
either on the sidelines watching as a hockey Mom, choir mother,
Tawny Owl or coaching Ringette. She was one of the 'pioneers'
of Ringette co-coaching a Canadian Championship Team. She was
a proud Lady member of the 78th Fraser Highlanders. Phoebe, lover
of family, nature and all its creatures, great and small enjoyed
being 'out in it' whether it was from 'le petit train de nord'
in the Laurentian mountains as a teenager and young adult, in
the Morgan Arboretum well past middle age, or as a summer resident
of Tadoussac, Quebec from the age of 3 months, enjoying the view
and activity of the St. Lawrence and Saguenay Rivers and environs
from her front verandah in her later years.
The Family wishes to acknowledge the care she received at Kensington
Place, Westmount, from the nursing staff and aides under the
leadership of Doctor Lysy, the diligent attention of the waitresses
in the 2nd floor dining room and the attendants of the Agence
Maria. In accordance with her wishes, Phoebe has been cremated
with burial at a later date. A service of remembrance will be
held July 17, 2008 at 4: 00 p.m. at the Tadoussac Protestant Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Tadoussac Protestant Chapel
would be appreciated by the Family. 141 Crescent Road, Toronto,
Ontario. M4W 1V1. Attn: The Treasurer.
