FINN,
John "
Bud"
Henry
Storyteller, gardener, dog-lover, physician, outdoorsman. Born
September 10, 1924, in Montreal. Died March 3 in Kitchener, Ontario,
of prostate cancer, aged 83.
By Heather
FINN and Eric Ohio, Page L6
To his Friends and family, John was simply Bud. He grew up in
the Beaches area of Toronto as the oldest child of an Irish immigrant
mother and lake-boat captain father. Bud loved to tell the story
about the time his father, having returned from a long trip,
pulled him out of school one day to see the burlesque shows downtown.
Bud began his studies at the University of Toronto in 1943. He
found his calling there as a physician and became the first university
graduate in his family.
In 1948, he married his high-school sweetheart, Helen, a lady
in the truest sense of the word. They moved to Wellesley, a farming
community in Southwestern Ontario, where they raised four boys
- David, Bruce, Brian and Stephen - and set up a practice that
at one point served 7,000 patients.
Doc FINN was the quintessential country doctor. His range of
services and the hours he kept knew no limits. On any given day,
he might deliver a baby, remove an infected appendix, mix his
own medications in his apothecary and test the town's water supply
as the de facto director of public health.
Bud's nearly 50 years as a physician spanned an era when medical
knowledge and the way it was practised evolved at a formidable
rate. Despite these changes, he maintained the highest level
of care for all his patients, trusting his instincts and keeping
abreast of the latest research.
At one time Bud claimed to know all the police officers in the
region by name. Once, he was pulled over for travelling a little
too quickly on the way to deliver a baby in Kitchener. He looked
at his watch and said, "Well… I guess the girls will have to
do it without me." The police officer escorted Bud to the hospital,
lights flashing.
Outside the clinic, Bud was an avid outdoorsman, spending his
limited free time exploring the lakes and hills of Central Ontario
with his trusty Nikon always at hand.
He happened upon a pristine piece of Crown land in the early
1950s while on a canoe trip with his brothers-in-law. Upon his
return to Toronto the next week, Bud purchased the point for
In subsequent summers, the building materials for the cottage
and its contents were transported to the remote location by barge,
an old army Jeep and Beaver aircraft. The cottage and its deep,
calm waters were Bud's pride and joy and a welcome respite from
his demanding career.
Bud lived the life of a person who knew that respect and love
were to be earned and cherished. He will be missed by all those
whom he touched and healed.
Heather FINN is Bud's granddaughter, and Eric
OH is her husband.

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.
