On Tuesday, April 22, 2008, Rose Emma
MAGNUSON passed away peacefully
in her 91st year. Beloved wife for almost sixty years of the
late Edgar Theodore
MAGNUSON. Dear mother of Karen
WEILER, mother-in-law
of Bobby and grandmother of Nancy and Catherine. Sister of the
late Patricia
CROTEAU and the late Madgella
CHAMBERS.
Survived
by sister Beatrice
GENDRON, 93, nieces, nephews, grand-nieces
and grand-nephews. Rose spent most of her life in Saskatchewan
and enjoyed such outdoor activities as gardening, picking wild
berries, fishing, boating and swimming. The long Saskatchewan
winters turned her into an avid bridge player and she became
a Life Master. Another favourite pastime was listening to music
and she loved any music that had a beat. After moving to Toronto,
she spent many happy hours attending local concerts and musical
shows, always perfectly turned out with hat and gloves. A feisty,
independent senior, she eventually succumbed to the ravages of
Alzheimer's disease. The family wishes to express a very special
thanks for their loving care, companionship and support, to her
personal support worker, Neverlyn
JAMES, and the other devoted
members of her 24/7 team, Marialyn
AGUILLON and Juvy
BALQUIN.
As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Senior
Persons Resident In North Toronto homecare program, the Victorian
Order of Nurses, or the Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care
at Mount Sinai Hospital. The individuals within these organizations
enabled Rose to end her days in dignity in her own surroundings.
Mass of Christian Burial will be conducted in Blessed Sacrament
Church, 24 Cheritan Avenue (Yonge Street south of Lawrence Avenue),
on Thursday at 11 a.m. In accordance with her wishes, Rose will
be cremated. Condolences and memories may be forwarded through

Facing fraud rap, United Way official commits suicide
Executive was confronted with evidence she embezzled at least
$600,000 from a previous employer, charity's president confirms
By Timothy
APPLEBY and Elizabeth
CHURCH,
Page
A10
A senior United Way of Greater Toronto executive committed suicide
last month after being confronted with evidence she embezzled
at least $600,000 from a previous employer, United Way president
Frances LANKIN confirmed last night.
Janet DONIO, the local United Way's vice-president for informational
services and operational change management, died while under
investigation for her activities at the Council of Ontario Universities,
a lobby group where she worked for six years as chief information
officer.
As well, Ms.
DONIO's chief academic credentials - a Canadian
university degree and a PhD from the United States - were found
to be bogus, Ms.
LANKIN said.
The irregularities were uncovered by the Deloitte and Touche accounting
firm and involved the payment of funds - said to be between $600,000 and
$700,000 - for services never produced, and which instead were
allegedly being siphoned off by Ms.
DONIO.
The story began to emerge in March after the Council of Ontario
Universities hired someone to fill Ms.
DONIO's old position.
"We found pretty clear evidence of fraud," said chief executive
officer Paul
GENEST, stressing that no other individuals appear
to have been involved. Nor were any improprieties uncovered in
a second Deloitte and Touche audit at the United Way, which hired
Ms. DONIO in February, 2007.
The Council of Ontario Universities gets some government funds,
but most of its revenue derives from levies paid by the universities
it represents and it will be seeking to recoup its losses from
its insurer, Mr.
GENEST said.
When Deloitte and Touche began unearthing irregularities, Toronto
police fraud investigators were notified, but they were awaiting
completion of the audit and apparently never interviewed Ms.
DONIO,
Ms. LANKIN said.
On the day the United Way was told of the allegation, - May 5
- Ms. LANKIN and chief operating officer Catherine
SMITH met
with Ms. DONIO, 56, and told her she was being placed on a paid
leave while the investigation continued.
"It was a difficult conversation," Ms.
LANKIN recounted.
She and Ms.
SMITH then drove Ms.
DONIO home to her west-end Toronto
house, where she was found dead the next day.
A coroner's report said the cause of death was "undetermined,"
according to a family account relayed to Ms.
LANKIN.
As for Ms.
DONIO's phony academic credentials - a degree from
Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and a doctorate in cognitive
science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - it appears
that the Council of Ontario Universities did not check them.
Neither did the United Way, relying instead on character references
from the council and another former employer, Ms.
LANKIN said.
"Those credentials weren't critical to the job we hired her for,
so we didn't check them."
The United Way of Greater Toronto was established in 1956 and
supports a network of 200 health and social service agencies.
Last year it raised a record $108.1-million.
Ms. DONIO's previous experience included a stint at TVO,
as creative director of educational television, and at the Department
of Indian and Northern Affairs, where she was an assistant director.
A member of the Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek Band, whose
home is on the shores of Lake Nipigon in Northern Ontario, Ms.
DONIO
is survived by two adult sons, Jason and Robyn
DONIO.
Her former
husband, Marcel
DONIO, is a justice of the peace in Thunder Bay.
Financially, Ms.
DONIO's affairs appeared unremarkable at the
time of her death. In February, 2006, she purchased her house
in west Toronto's Junction area, for $540,000, and
in January
of this year she remortgaged the property for just over $523,000.
"Jan DONIO was a respected and admired member of the United Way
team," the United Way said in a statement. " We grieve her loss
and the difficulty faced by her family."

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

donations may be made to Hospice of London. 'death is not the

Nelson fought bravely in the Second
World War and was in the first wave at Normandy. A Brick has
been placed at Juno Beach remembering the service he gave to
his country. Nelson continued to be a faithful member of the
Royal Canadian Legion. He will be fondly remembered by his good
Friends Ian and Sheila
McKILLOP, and also all the many Friends
he made at Tim Horton's on Colborne Road. His nickname was "Cowboy"
because he always wore his western hat, boots and jeans - a throw
back to his younger days around horses. He loved animals all
his life. Nelson had 10 pin bowled for almost 50 years and was
still bowling in early March and made many Friends through his
bowling associations. We will all miss him dearly, but know that
he is now with his beloved Audrey and they are back together
and in God's hands. A funeral service will be held on Thursday,
April 24, 2008, at 11: 00 a.m. at Smith Funeral Home, 1576 London
Line, Sarnia. Interment will follow at Resurrection Cemetery.

9: 00 p.m. Sympathy donations may be made to War Amps or the charity
of your choice. Memories and condolences may be sent online at

Richard will be greatly missed by his family, Friends and
colleagues. We are all so lucky to have had him in our lives.
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,

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
