LECKIE,
W.
Merrill
Merrill passed away at his home at Maple Bay on January 05, 2008,
but his wonderful spirit and sense of humor will live on in the
hearts and minds of those he touched over the years.
Born in Vancouver, October 09, 1933, Merrill graduated from University
of British Columbia with degrees in Commerce and Law. He went
on to practice law in Vancouver for 42 years, during which time
he served as president of the British Columbia Branch Canadian
Bar Association, president of the British Columbia Arbitration and
Mediation Institute, and British Columbia president of the Council
for Canadian Unity. His interests were diverse and he served
as a director of the Doctor Sun Yat-sen Gardens, The Vancouver Bach
Choir and the Canadian Safety Council. Always proud of his Scottish
heritage Merrill was also a director of St. Andrews and Caledonian
Society of Vancouver and the Vancouver Burns Club and never missed
a chance to toast his beloved Robbie Burns with a 'wee dram'.
He was also active for some time in West Vancouver United Church.
In 1989, Merrill was appointed a Chartered Arbitrator and also
served as a Trade-mark agent and a Fellow of the Patent and Trade-mark
Institute of Canada.
Before retiring to Maple Bay on Vancouver Island he was awarded
the Louis St. Laurent Award of Excellence by the Canadian Bar
Association for his outstanding service. Upon retiring Merrill
was elected as president of the Cowichan Symphony Society from
2003 to 2007 and he and his board members worked tirelessly to
bring the music of the Victoria Symphony to the Cowichan Valley.
He was also a member of the Cowichan Harbours Commission.
A highlight of his career was serving for many years as a director
and secretary for the British Columbia Lions Football Club. The
Club has lost one of their greatest supporters.
Merrill is survived by his beloved partner, Karen
GRANT; his
brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Marilyn
LECKIE of West
Vancouver; his daughter and son-in-law, Linda and Gerry
O'HANDLEY
and granddaughter, Carmen of West Vancouver; his son Scott of
Toronto; daughter and son-in-law Aimee and Scott
LESAGE, and
children Jennifer, Tyler and Ashley of North Vancouver; and daughter,
Heather of Vancouver; as well as cousins, nieces, nephews and
their families.
A Memorial Service celebrating Merrill's life will be held in
West Vancouver United Church, Thursday, January 31st, 2008 at
11: 00 a.m. followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of

LESSER,
Jack
Julius
Lawyer, beloved husband, loving father and grandfather, nature
lover. Born April 3, 1932, in Toronto. Died December 4, 2007,
in London, Ontario, of a cardiac arrest, aged 75.
By Len LESSER,
Page L8
Jack was the eldest and favourite
son of Ida and Arthur
LESSER.
He nearly graduated from London Central Secondary School in London,
Ontario - classes were not as important as skipping school to
shoot pool.
But he did go on to graduate from the University of Western Ontario
with a bachelor of arts degree in 1954. Off he went to Osgoode
Hall Law School in Toronto, graduating in 1957.
Back in London, Jack became a hard-driving lawyer specializing
in real estate law. He had two children, Stewart and Janet, with
his first wife, Enid.
Jack suffered his first heart attack at 38. He survived. He flourished,
particularly after he met a real estate agent, Jan, and her three-year-old
daughter, Lila, when he was 45. Jan was 29 and had her doubts
after seeing Jack's passport, which showed his date of birth
was before the Second World War.
They were married for 32 years - the best damn thing that ever
happened to him, he often said.
When Jack was a fledgling lawyer, he took exception to a police
officer stopping me, his younger brother, when I ran a stop sign.
The officer told me he was going to let me off with a warning.
Jack intervened.
"No way," he told the cop. "Give him a ticket. We will see you
in court."
But when the summons for $40 arrived in the mail, Jack advised
me to just pay it off. So much for the young Clarence Darrow.
Jack retired from law at 57 and spent his summers at the cottage
at Three Mile Lake north of Toronto. Jan joined him when she
was not busy selling houses in London.
When Jack came back to London each September, he surrounded himself
with like- minded people. For many years he enjoyed being part
of the Society for Learning in Retirement, where members research
a topic and present their findings to the group. Jack was a critical
reader who always had an opinion. He would have agreed with Aristotle's
maxim that "the energy of the mind is the essence of life."
Five years ago, Jack's heart problem came back with a vengeance,
but with doctors' help he beat the odds. On his 75th birthday,
Jan invited Jack's Friends and relatives to celebrate.
Jack was spiritual but would not admit to being religious. The
Holocaust made him doubt the validity of praying to a God. He
was an ardent Zionist who took great pride in the successes of
the state of Israel.
Jack lived his life to the fullest with no regrets. Whenever
he talked on the phone he had a bad habit of never saying goodbye.
The phone line would simply go dead and the caller would be left
waiting to hear more. He has done it again.
Len LESSER is Jack's brother.

GERHART,
Muriel (née
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.
A Private Family Memorial will be held at a later date. Forward
condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
In living memory of Muriel
GERHART, a tree will be planted at
Fish Creek Provincial Park by McInnis and Holloway Funeral Homes
Park Memorial Chapel, 5008 Elbow Drive S.W., Calgary, Alberta
