TRIMBLE,
William▼
Burbage▼
Smyth▼
Educator, died at Sunrise of Aurora on Monday, June 2nd 2008.
Born in California, he grew up in Toronto, obtaining his education
at the University of Toronto, from which he held four degrees.
His education was interrupted by five years of service with the
R.C.N.V.R., most of which was spent on loan to the Royal Navy.
He served first in Combined Operations and was on the carrier
ship M.V. Ettrick when it was torpedoed on its return from the
North African landings. He went back to sea as a Fighter Direction
Officer, attached to the first squadron of night fighters ever
to operate from an aircraft carrier. He was awarded a Mention
in Despatches on one of several Murmansk convoys. He was discharged
in 1945 as a Lieutenant-Commander. Back in civilian life, he
saw himself first and foremost as a teacher. Along with any administrative
duties, he always insisted on remaining part time in the classroom.
He served as Vice- President of Ryerson, professor of education
at the University of Toronto, Vice-President of Humber College
and first Chairman of The Board of George Brown College. He and
his wife (Dorothy▼
ROBERTSON) spent three years in Lesotho, Africa
in the 1970s where he helped to implement a World Bank education
project and Dorothy was Field Supervisor for Oxfam and Save the
Children Fund. Bill had a gift for writing. His family treasure
his letters and stories, but many students will remember his
texts, Understanding the Canadian Economy and Basic Economics
for Lesotho. While accomplished in his profession, Bill's devotion
to family was a priority. A man ahead of his times, he was a
sensitive and caring husband and father, actively engaged in
the raising of his children. He leaves his wife of sixty-three
