JOCIUS,
Gintarius "
Ginty"
Frank (1946-2008)
Gintarius
(Ginty)
Frank
JOCIUS lost his two-year battle with
brain cancer on January 2, 2008. Ginty passed away at home, surrounded
by family and hospice care. Born in post-war Germany on August
15, 1946 of Lithuanian parents who had fled their Baltic homeland
in 1944, Ginty's family immigrated to Canada in 1949, settling
in Rodney, Ontario where they eventually started greenhouse and
tobacco farming near the shores of Lake Erie. Ginty is predeceased
by his father, Frank, and his brother, Ronald. He is survived
by his mother, Martha (née
POVILAITIS,) and brother Peter and
his family. Ginty graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College,
University of Guelph, in 1970 and married Lorie
MUNCE of Leamington,
Ontario that same year. They have three children: Daiva
JOCIUS
of Calgary, Alberta; Gavin
JOCIUS and wife
Hannah of Durham,
North Carolina; and Jordan
JOCIUS and partner Julie
BRUIN of
Guelph. Ginty's passion was always agriculture. He mentored under
George Atkins at C.B.C. Radio Noon and then served as Executive
Assistant for two Ontario Ministers of Agriculture and Food,
the late William A. Stewart and the late William Newman. After
leaving the Ministry in 1978, Ginty worked in the cattle industry,
helping to launch the first-ever video auction, the Ontario Beef
Exchange. In 1982, he established his own marketing/communications
firm, Ginty Jocius and associates, in Guelph, specializing in agricultural
products and services across North America. Ginty was always
looking for the 'next big idea.' In addition to helping launch
Strategic Research Associates now headquartered in at the Research
Park in Guelph, he helped initiate the internet company, Agribiz.net,
which eventually morphed into Farms.com In 1994, Ginty diversified
further into event management by creating Canada's Outdoor Farm
Show. Now in its 15th year and held annually in September at
Canada's Outdoor Park in Woodstock, Ontario, it is the largest
outdoor agricultural tradeshow in Canada. In June of 2004, the
Great Canadian Outdoor Expo was created in celebration of Ginty's
other passions - family and the great out-of-doors. A self-proclaimed
entrepreneur, Ginty was just as deeply committed to 'service
above self.' He was a member of the Guelph Rotary Club for almost
25 years, intimately involved in fundraising events such as 'Gift
of Wings' and Dream Home projects, and was recently recognized
as an Honorary Paul Harris Fellow. In 1995, he was named Agri-Marketer
of the Year by the Canadian AgriMarketing Association and Alumnus
of Honour by the University of Guelph in 1996. Ginty was a tireless
campaigner in the political arenas, at both the federal and local
levels. He was past Chair of the Agricultural Research Institute
of Ontario (A.R.I.O.) and the Ontario Agricultural College (O.A.C.)
Alumni Foundation; a contributor to the formation of the Enroot
Foundation established by the Ontario Institute of Agrologists
and a strong supporter of the arts in Guelph. A memorial service
celebrating Ginty's life will be held at the River Run Centre
at 35 Woolwich Street in Guelph on Friday, January 11, 2008 at
2: 30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations
to be made to The Ginty Jocius Journey of Growth Fund at the
Ontario Agricultural College/ University of Guelph; the Brain
Tumour Foundation of Canada; or Hospice Wellington. Details are
