It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Samuel
Aubrey KERR on February 19, 2008 at the age of 92. Predeceased
by his beloved wife and solid supporter of sixty-three years
Elsie Ruth (née

of Ernie (Louise
MARSHALL /

CHIEW), grandfather
to Stewart (Tonia
KEIZER,)
Mathew
(Autumn
PEER fiancee,) Jennifer,
and Amy PILLING, great-grandfather to Brendan, Ty and Dominic.
He leaves his loving brother Professor Donald Peter (Ruth
HIGGINS
deceased). Aubrey was born in Orillia, November 29, 1915. He
attended Oakwood Collegiate in Toronto. Following studies at
the University of Toronto he enrolled in the graduate program
at U.B.C. (Vancouver) obtaining his M.A. (Geology) in 1942. Immediately
following this he was recruited by Imperial Oil as part of Canada's
war effort to search for oil in Southern Alberta. After years
of exploration with Aubrey as field geologist, Leduc 'blew in'
February 13, 1947, changing the course of Canadian history, making
Alberta a major player in the world oil market. In 1959 Aubrey
was chosen by the National Energy Board as Chief Geologist and
the family moved to Ottawa. Following success in the capital
he retired and returned to Calgary in 1975. He turned his attention
to an intense study of the history of Alberta's oil industry
by collecting and documenting a wealth of information. He interviewed
and taped many 'oil patch' personalities leaving a large collection
to the Glenbow Museum Archives, Calgary. All of this culminated
in eight great books (including Leduc, Redwater and Atlantic #3).
In 1998 he received an honourary Doctors degree from the University
of Calgary and was inducted into the Petroleum Hall of Fame in
Leduc. He participated in numerous professional organizations
including the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
and Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists
of Alberta. He was involved in the Anglican church. Both he and
Elsie enjoyed annual escapes from the -30 degree weather to visit
Barbados and Victoria. He continued to be involved with his writing
even to his ninety-first year. The family wish to thank the staff
of Trinity Lodge, Calgary for their decisive professional actions
and care as well as the outstanding medical staff of the Rockyview
Hospital, Calgary. Service at Anglican Christ Church Calgary

Blood clot caused Via rider's death, police say
By Colin FREEZE,
Page A3
Toronto -- A short-lived pandemic scare, one that caused a train
to be quarantined last Friday, actually resulted from a sedentary
passenger's fatal blood clot, police have told The Globe and
Mail.
Brenda BUCKLEY, a 43-year-old South African tourist travelling
alone on a cross-Canada rail journey, died from a pulmonary embolism,
authorities say. The condition, the worst-case outcome of a lesser
malady known to travellers as deep-vein thrombosis, can result
from protracted periods of sitting.
The condition has been known to arise on long-haul flights, but
many observers are surprised it is being linked to rail travel.
"This is not a condition Via [Rail] has ever encountered on any
of its trains," Catherine Kaloutsky, a spokeswoman for the company,
said last night. She said Via Rail doesn't warn passengers about
the risk of thrombosis, but will review practices.
The rarity of the condition on train journeys may have contributed
to the case's initial aura of inexplicability, which fuelled
the infectious-disease speculation that garnered global headlines.
The Ontario Provincial Police say a host of factors conspired
to cause police to fear the worst. Ms.
BUCKLEY's death while
travelling through Northern Ontario on Friday coincided with
another passenger being airlifted to hospital after complaining
of a severe respiratory problem. Five other passengers were also
complaining of flu-like symptoms.
By Saturday, it was clear that all of the cases had arisen independently.
Authorities issued a statement saying the five passengers were
"afflicted by a common flu virus," the airlifted woman had a
history of breathing difficulties, and that Ms.
BUCKLEY had "died
of natural causes."
Yesterday, The Globe asked an investigating Ontario Provincial
Police officer to elaborate on the kinds of natural causes that
could kill a 43-year-old. The death was "due to a pulmonary embolism,"
Detective
Sergeant
Michael
PILON responded.
He explained that after an autopsy in Sudbury, a pathologist
told him that the condition can result from someone "sitting
in a car for a long period of time, or, in this case, sitting
in a train."
Little is known about Ms.
BUCKLEY, whose age had been estimated
by some fellow passengers as about 20 years older than that listed
in her passport. She had provided the travel agency with the
name of a sister in South Africa as next of kin. "It came as
a shock to the family," said Det. Sgt.
PILON, who notified relatives.
The South African tourist had booked her Canadian trip through
Trafalgar Tours, a company that promotes the "breathtaking scenery"
of the Rockies, including their "snow-capped peaks, hanging glaciers,
pounding waterfalls and surging rivers."
Ms. BUCKLEY had already spent several days on a train before
crossing into Alberta from British Columbia last week. She boarded
another train in Jasper, and had nearly completed the two-day
trip to Sudbury when she began complaining of shortness of breath.
"It was a very sudden event," Det. Sgt.
PILON said.
In the past, airline agents have been forced to deal with similar
incidents. "It may be we will see something like that two, three,
four times a year with air traffic," said William
LUCAS, a coroner
for the province of Ontario. In an interview yesterday, he said
he has never heard of any such case arising on a train. He expressed
surprise, given that there is "a greater freedom of mobility
on the train than there is on an airplane."
Blood circulation is often dependant on the mechanics of walking,
Dr. LUCAS said, explaining that active leg muscles set about
"squeegeeing, like toothpaste, your blood back into circulation."
Long periods of sitting cause the blood to pool in the legs and
possibly coagulate into clots. Should a clot become dislodged
from the legs and travel up to arteries that feed the lungs,
it can spell disaster.
A funeral home in Timmins, Ontario, was making arrangements to
send Ms. BUCKLEY's body back to South Africa.
