Beloved poet, prof, playwright 'an artistic giant'
James REANEY, 1926-2008
By Katherina
DEHAAS and Patrick
MALONEY, Sun Media, Thurs., June 12,
James REANEY, a national literary icon who stayed close to his
Southwestern Ontario roots during a celebrated, 50-year career
as a playwright, poet and professor, has died.
The longtime Londoner died last night in London following a long
illness. He was 81.
"It was a peaceful end to a great life," his son, Free Press
journalist James
REANEY, said. "We know that he will be remembered
and his contributions to Canadian culture will be valued."
Born on a Stratford-area farm in 1926,
REANEY was an acclaimed
poet, playwright, author, opera librettist and University of
Western Ontario English professor.
He won three Governor-General's Awards for poetry and drama,
and a 1974 Chalmers Award for best Canadian play.
"He was so great," said Nancy
POOLE, a former Museum London director
who met REANEY at University of Western Ontario.
"He was a gentleman, an intellectual, an artistic giant in the
Canadian scene."
REANEY won his first Governor-General's Award in 1949 at age
23 for a collection of poetry, The Red Heart.
In 1960, he began teaching at University of Western Ontario and
started publishing Alphabet, a semi-annual periodical devoted
"to the iconography of the imagination."
In 1966, he founded the Listener's Workshop and began working
with child and adult actors in choral ensemble works.
REANEY,
whose play Colours in the Dark premiered in Stratford in 1967,
received the Order of Canada in 1975.
His best known dramatic work may be a trilogy of plays about
the 1880 massacre of the Donnelly family in Lucan.
He was 10 when his stepfather told him the stirring story, stoking
in REANEY an interest that would lead him to write the three
plays that not only dramatized the legend, but arguably also
brought it into focus historically.
The trilogy is among a handful of Canadian works listed among
the 1,000 most significant plays of all time by the Oxford Dictionary
of Plays.
He was also an amateur painter and pianist whose works were exhibited
in London and Toronto.
REANEY enjoyed such respect that even small details of his life
inspired artisans, says Martha
HENRY, former Grand Theatre artistic
director.
HENRY, who acted in two
REANEY plays, recalled a tour last summer
of his boyhood home.
"It was amazing," she said. "We went up into the attic where
he used to write. He's an icon. A complete original."
REANEY is survived by his wife, son and daughter, two granddaughters
and two siblings.

ALLEY,
Brenton
Glanville
It is with great sadness we announce the death of Sidney resident,
Brenton G.
ALLEY. He passed away peacefully in Hospice at the
Saanich Peninsula Hospital on Monday March 31, 2008, surrounded
by his loving family. The third
son of Brenton Pascoe and Norma
Lindsay ALLEY, he was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba October 16,
1922. He grew up in Toronto where he graduated from Upper Canada
College. He joined the army in 1941 and after World War 2, he
married Inez Jean
POOLE, of Edmonton, Alberta, who he met while
she was in nursing training in Montreal. They moved to the West
Coast and Brent began working for the Canadian Imperial Bank
of Commerce in Vancouver. He was transferred to Victoria where
he and his family lived for eleven years, and then back to Vancouver
where he continued to work for the bank. During his free time,
he loved to golf at the Capilano Golf Club, to ski with his family
at Whistler, and to sail near Horseshoe Bay. When he retired
in 1982, he and his wife, Inez, left West Vancouver and moved
to Deep Cove where Brent fulfilled a dream of designing their
house, which was then built on Chalet Road. They recently moved
to Sidney, as he said, 'exchanging sunsets in the country for
sunrises in town'. A man of many interests and possessing an
insatiable curiosity, Brent travelled extensively with his wife
Inez, while he could, and he participated in community and educational
opportunities as time allowed. He loved to garden and enjoyed
going to the theatre, and especially loved being involved with
his large extended family. We remember him as a principled, generous
man with a marvellous sense of humour that remained even into
his final days. The family is very grateful for the wonderful
care he was given by the medical and nursing staff at both the
Saanich Peninsula and the Royal Jubilee Hospitals. Brent was
also appreciated for his volunteer work with the United Way in
West Vancouver, and the British Columbia Cancer society in Sidney.
He also enjoyed his involvement with the Friends of Dunsmuir
Lodge, and being part of the SAGE Study Group. He is fondly
remembered by his daughter Lindsay (Hogue) of California, son,
Brent, of Vancouver, and son, Andrew, of Victoria; his 8 grandchildren
and new great-grand_son; and his many nieces and nephews. He was
predeceased by his brothers, Jack, of West Vancouver, and Patrick,
of North Vancouver. A memorial service will be held on Thursday,
April 17th at 2: 00 p.m. at the Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian
Church, 9296 East Saanich Road, Sidney. A reception will follow
in the church hall. In lieu of flowers, donations could be made
to the charity of your choice or the Mt. Newton Centre Society,

McDONALD,
William
Leonard (1919-2008)
On June 15, 2008, Len
McDONALD died at Columbia Forest Long Term
Care Centre in Waterloo, peacefully, with his wife Isabel present.
Len seemed destined to be an Anglican clergyman, like many in
his family. But after he flew Spitfires for the Royal Canadian
Air Force in World War 2, he chose to be a professional engineer,
working first on the Avro Arrow project. He later worked at the
Chalk River Nuclear Labs, then as a bush pilot, and finally at
a paper mill in Kapuskasing. In 1943, he married Barbara
SCOTT
of Toronto; after the War, they raised four children: Bill, Peter
(deceased), Mary, and Patrick. Through them, Len has seven grandchildren
and four great-grandchildren. In 1976, he married Isabel
(POOLTON)
DONNAN, acquiring four more children, Tim, Derek, Wendy, and
David, and eventually six more grandchildren. In 1984, they retired
to Waterloo to be nearer to their children. Len was a man of
high standards, a calculated risk-taker, a music-lover, and a
handyman. He had 32 wonderful years with Isabel, enjoying their
children and grandchildren and their many Friends, summering
at Parry Sound, square dancing, playing bridge, and travelling.
He will be especially missed by Isabel, who loved him deeply.
The family sincerely thanks Columbia Forest, whose skilled staff
gave Len so much kind care. Friends and family will be welcomed
to a visitation 7: 00-9:00 p.m. on Friday June 20, at Erb and Good
Funeral Home, 171 King St. S., Waterloo. A memorial service and
reception will be held at 2: 00 p.m. on Saturday, June 21, at
Holy Saviour Anglican Church, 33 Allen St. E., Waterloo, which
Len and Isabel attended for many years. In lieu of flowers, the
family suggests contributions in Len's memory to the Memorial
Fund at Holy Saviour Church, or your favourite charity.
