ROSE,
Dennis
Gerald
Passed away, with his family at his side, on February 5, 2008,
at Saint Michael's Hospital, Toronto, following an accident. He
is survived by his dearly loved wife, Barbara
(SURBECK) and their
three beautiful daughters: Catherine (Sean
FIGUEROA) of Toronto,
Rhonda (Jonathan
GERALD) of Toronto and Chantal (Scot
HUTTON)
of Quadra Island, British Columbia. Dennis was so proud of his
"girls" and of course of his two grandchildren: Alexandra
HUTTON
and Django
HUTTON.
Dennis was predeceased by his parents, Gerald
and Rosaleen
ROSE of Hamilton. Dennis will be greatly missed
by his brother and closest friend, Roger
ROSE
(Judy) of Hamilton
and by many nieces and nephews in Hamilton, Ottawa, Charlettown
and in the U.S. Dennis was born in Rose Valley, Saskatchewan
but moved as a young child to Hamilton, Ontario for his formative
years. Dennis was an artist from the beginning, studying drawing
and painting in Hamilton, working in a graphic design studio
there until he received a scholarship to study painting in England.
In his next years he again turned to the graphic design and illustration
business and to working as an Art Director in advertising agencies
in Montreal before starting his own graphic design business there.
After 20 years in Montreal he moved the business and the family
to Toronto. During his active work life he continued his studies
in fine art and graduated from Concordia University, Montreal,
with a Bachelor of Fine Art. Since selling his business in 2000
Dennis has been pursuing his painting interests and has been
an active member of the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto. A man
for all seasons, Dennis relished the rush of a good long distance
bike ride, an invigorating long swim and the challenge of a cross-country
ski course. His motto was always "just try a little harder".
A Service of Remembrance will be held at Timothy Eaton Memorial
Church, 230 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto, on Monday, February 11,
2008 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers donations will be gratefully
received by The Canadian Hearing Society at 271 Spadina Road,
Toronto, M5R 2V3, or Timothy Eaton Memorial Church at 230 St. Clair
Avenue West, M4V 1R5, or please plant a tree in Dennis' memory.
We cherish our bountiful memories and miss him deeply.

Cathy of Huntsville; son Jamie and wife Meg of Huntsville, and
daughter Mary and husband Carl of Toronto; by his grandchildren:

by 3 great-grandchildren: Isabella, Evan and Jadon and almost
by a 4th, James, due any day. He is pre-deceased by his first
wife Margery
Elizabeth, neé
GERALD, whom he loved more than words
can say. Prior to graduating from Upper Canada College, he was
expelled from Public School for 'accidentally' tossing a lit
firecracker into his Principal's hair. In 1939, he set aside
pre-med studies at U. of T. to enlist in the Royal Canadian Air
Force Trained as an Observer he was stationed in England. In
1940 he and his entire crew survived a 25 mission tour. They
volunteered for a 2nd tour on condition they remain intact as
a group. He spent the remainder of the war training pilots in
Canada. After the war Jim built and ran a resort in Huntsville
called Ski Jump Inn until it was expropriated in 1977. Jim was
a faithful Rotarian who attended his last meeting only 2 weeks
ago with the help of his loyal friend Bill
McDONNELL. He was
President of the club in 1961 and most proud of leading Rotary's
creation of the Pioneer Village. He was a school trustee in his
beloved Stephenson Township; President of the Hospital Board
an elder at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church; President of the
Muskoka Housing Authority; President of Muskoka Tourism Board
and founder and President of the Huntsville Poker Club. He was
an active member of the Liberal Party of Canada gaining the nomination
in 1962 for Parry Sound Muskoka. Hugh MacKenzie referred to Jim
as "The Senator from Stephenson Township". After the Inn was
expropriated, Jim became a Real Estate Agent ending up at Royal
Lepage and going on to become President of the Muskoka Real Estate
Board. Larry Ireland, Gary Smith and Debbie Renton were loyal
Friends last visiting him only days before his passing. Jim was
a wonderful husband, a good father, a loving grandfather and
astonished to be a great-grandfather. He believed in service
to others and was famous for his marvelous sense of humour. In
lieu of flowers, Jim would want donations to be made to the Toronto

HADLEY)
(May 31, 1918-January 28, 2008)
Muriel GERHART of Calgary, passed away on Monday, January 28,
2008 at the age of 89 years.
She was born in Toronto and raised in Buffalo. As a young girl
she moved back to Toronto and lived most of the rest of her life
in southern Ontario. After Toronto, there was Clarkson in southwest
Mississauga and then Parry Sound. In her last years, when her
ability to care for herself diminished, she moved to Calgary
to be near her children.
Muriel was a wonderful singer and that showed in everything she
did. Whether she was actually singing, on stage, in a recital
or in church, or looking after a sibling or an aged parent, making
a place for her own family to grow, running a business, contributing
to her community, or dealing with the limitations that old age
finally brought to her, she found the music and sang it into
whatever came her way. We will miss her so much, but her music
stays with us.
Muriel is survived by daughter and son-in-law Rhonde and Richard
LESUEUR, and their two children Jamie and Philip of Calgary
by son and daughter-in-law Paul and Mary Ann and their two children
Meghan and David of Lethbridge; and by her brother Bernard
HADLEY
of Parry Sound, Ontario. She was predeceased by her husband Gene,
brothers Stan and Ray, father Albert and mother Mabel.

Body found behind school
By Joe BELANGER,
Fri.,
April 25, 2008
Sun Media -- Londoner Harry
GERIS -- a three-time Olympian known
as the Gentle Giant of Canadian wrestling -- died suddenly yesterday,
his body found behind a high school.
His body was found by a construction worker at 7: 30 a.m. behind
Saunders secondary school, where he was delivering wrestling
mats for an elementary school tournament.
GERIS, 60, is survived by his wife, Jo-Anne, and three sons,
Jason, Ryan and Shawn, who all became wrestlers.
Police said foul play isn't suspected. An autopsy will be done
to determine the cause of death.
"He was known as the Gentle Giant," said Glynn
LEYSHON, 78, a
former University of Western Ontario wrestling coach who took
GERIS to his first international match in 1964.
"He'll be sorely missed. He did an awful lot for the sport and,
as a friend, he'd do anything for you. You only had to ask and
he'd do it if he could."
The former insurance salesperson made a living supplying wrestling
equipment for tournaments, but spent most of his time volunteering
as a wrestling coach.
GERIS was born in the Netherlands. His family immigrated to Canada
when he was a child.
He earned a scholarship to wrestle at Oklahoma State University,
a powerhouse in the sport.
"Harry was a friend to me and one of the great Olympians," Oklahoma
State wrestling coach John Smith said through a spokesperson.
"Not only did he represent Canada, he represented Oklahoma State.
He was a great man… and he will be missed."
Just three weeks ago, a wrestler coached by
GERIS,
Katie
PATROCH,
25, a teacher at Westminster secondary school in London, won
her first national championship in the 59-kilogram category to
earn a trip to Tokyo for the world championships in October.
"I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today without Harry,"
said a tearful
PATROCH.
"If anybody asked him for help, he was there. He was a member
of the family to me and undoubtedly changed my life."
Accolades and condolences poured in from across Canada as word
of GERIS's death spread.
"It's just so sad, a real shock," said Josip
MRKOCI of London,
chairperson of the Commonwealth Amateur Wrestling Association.
"I consider him one of my best Friends. He dedicated his life
to wrestling. The wrestling world has lost a person who supported
wrestling his entire life, never thinking about himself, always
volunteering for everything."
MRKOCI lamented that he missed the deadline by five days to have
GERIS nominated for induction into the London Sports Hall of
Fame this year.
"Maybe I can convince them to consider Harry," he said.
Western wrestling coach Ray
TAKAHASHI went to the 1976 Olympics
as a junior with
GERIS.
"He's a legend in the United States and Canada and wrestling
has really lost a big friend," said
TAKAHASHI.
"He was a friendly giant. He had a heck of a big voice, a heck
of a temper, but a really big heart.
"We used to run together and, for such a large man, he was a
really good runner."
GERIS, who stood six-foot-four and weighed in excess of 220 pounds,
was U.S. junior college heavyweight champion in 1968 and runner-up
in 1969
He finished fourth in the National Collegiate Athletic Association
championships in 1972, his final year.
LEYSHON said, despite his size,
GERIS was a gentle spirit.
"Being involved in a contact sport was (an) antithesis to his
character," said
LEYSHON.
"I remember once at a meet he pinned a guy down in about 45 seconds,
helped the guy up and apologized.
"He's going to be sorely missed."
Harry GERIS
Graduate of Beal secondary school in London he won the Ontario
high school championship, the Ontario open and the Canadian championship.
Ten-time Canadian heavyweight champion, who first competed
internationally for Canada in 1966 at the British Empire Games
and worlds in Toledo, Ohio.
Earned a three-year scholarship to wrestling powerhouse Oklahoma
State University and finished fourth in the National Collegiate
Athletic Association championship in 1972. He finished fourth
in the World Student Games in Moscow in 1973.
Competed for Canada at the Olympics in 1968 (Mexico), 1972
(Munich) and 1976 (Montreal), twice at the world championships,
the Commonwealth Games, Pan-Am Games (winning bronze in 1975)
and the World Student Games, winning two bronze medals.
Served as president of the Ontario Amateur Wrestling Association,
the Ontario Olympic Wrestling Federation, the London-Western
Wrestling Association and the Southwest Optimist Club of London.
Volunteer coach anywhere he was asked, including the University
of Western Ontario.
Inducted into the U.S. National Junior College Wrestling Hall
of Fame in 1980.
Inducted into the Canadian Amateur Wrestling Hall of Fame
in 1984.

GEROUX,
Myles (1948-2008)
July 16 Happy Birthday Myles!
Before I met Myles in the early '80's, he had already established
himself as the top life insurance agent in London. This status
continued for several more years. Myles shared his good fortune
with his family and Friends. There is one special person in his
life that he spoke of constantly; his daughter. Even with all
life's twists and turns, Myles still kept his sense of humour.
The following Sinatra tune comes to mind: That's life, that's
what all the people say. You're riding high in April, shot down
in May. But I know I'm going to change that tune when I'm back
on top in June. And I said that's life, and as funny as it may
seem, some people get their kicks stomping on a dream; but I
don't let it get me down 'cause this fine old world; it keeps
spinning around. I've been a puppet, a pauper, a poet, a pawn
and a king. I've been up and down and over and out; and I know
one thing, each time I find myself flat on my face, I pick myself
up and get back in the race. That's life I tell you, I can't
deny it. I thought of quitting baby but my heart just ain't going
to buy it; and
if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly. I'm sure Myles
is spending all his days golfing with his best friend Paul. Love,
from a friend.
