SOUCIE o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2008-07-26 published
He was trying to sober up. He never got the chance
By Erin ANDERSSEN,
Page F8
'I'm home!" - that was how Mitchell
ANDERSON liked to announce
his arrival on the many late nights he staggered into the overnight
shelter at the Shepherds Of Good Hope in Ottawa, looking for
a place to sleep off a drinking binge. He had a regular panhandling
spot outside Elgin Street where, his Friends say, his smiling
compliments to passing woman helped him raise change for a bottle
of sherry faster than just about anyone else. Drunk, he couldn't
walk away from a fight; his face carried the scars of angry fists.
But sober, he'd offer up his last cigarette if asked.
They told some of these stories this week at his funeral, held
in a crowded chapel at the Shepherds, attended by staff who knew
Mr. ANDERSON, his family and his Friends from the street. They
spoke, in particular, to his teenaged daughter, Christine, hunched
over in tears in the second row, who had just been growing close
to her father again. They know who she is, because Mr.
ANDERSON
talked about her all the time. She was the reason he stopped
wandering and returned to Ottawa. Why, at 38, he wanted to deal
with his alcohol addiction and go straight.
"He was really trying to kick it," says Ryan
CURRAN, a frontline
worker at the shelter. "I honestly believed he was one of the
guys who was going to sober up."
He never got the chance.
Close to midnight on July 13, he was struck by a red Mazda sports
car while he was crossing Sussex Drive, several blocks from the
shelter. He died in hospital two days later, kept on life support
so his mother and brother, travelling from his hometown of Kenora,
Ontario, could say good-bye.
The driver, believed to be in his late twenties or early thirties,
didn't stop. Neither he nor his blonde female passenger has come
forward. As of Thursday, police had narrowed their investigation
to a handful of possible cars.
His Friends worry that his life is seen to matter less because
he spent it on the streets and his story is too much of a cliché
to draw the sympathy it deserves. Abandoned by his father, raised
by a mother who tried her best with limited resources, he struggled
in school, left home at 18, started drinking and couldn't stop.
He travelled from city to city, carrying everything he owned
in a bag. He drank cheap wine if he had the money, and rubbing
alcohol if he didn't. He went to jail repeatedly, mostly for
minor offences - disturbing the peace, failing to pay fines -
but after sobering up behind bars, he inevitably began the cycle
again when he fell back into the streets.
Lately, those streets, he told his older brother, Dave, were
getting meaner and, as he was getting older, his body was less
able to handle a night passed out in a park. He spoke more often
lately about getting away from them for good.
But where was he to go, shelter staff wonder, to solve all his
problems? They could take him in for a night or two, put him
on a waiting list for treatment. But those solutions aren't enough,
or they happen too slowly. As Paul
SOUCIE, executive director
at the Shepherds, points out in frustration, they can't send
alcoholics or addicts, many of whom suffer from mental illness,
into supportive housing - they're not able break the habit on
their own. The city's detox unit is almost always full, and by
the time there's a bed, Mr.
SOUCIE says, the person waiting for
it has been lost once more to the streets.
Over and over, the shelter staff see men and women like Mitchell
ANDERSON, seeking a cure for their disease, and they have to
tell them: "There's nowhere for you to go."
For the last three years, he stayed in Ottawa, to be near his
daughter, who lives in an apartment in Vanier, a neighbourhood
close to downtown, with her mother, Fatima
DACOSTA.
She and Mr.
ANDERSON
had lived together when Christine was young, then split up. But
as long as he was sober, Ms.
DACOSTA didn't turn him away when
he showed up at the door. "He was trying," she said at the funeral,
"to make amends."
He didn't need to be reminded to hide his addiction from Christine:
He could be a rough, sloppy drunk, and he never wanted her to
see that. Whenever he planned to visit, he went cold turkey,
his Friends say, even if they had a bottle to share.
One afternoon, Mr.
ANDERSON's daughter bumped into him on the
street, called his name, and he was too drunk to recognize her.
"He came and he was in tears," Mr.
CURRAN recalls. "After that,
he was sober for a couple of days, and then he would slip." He
kept trying. "I can't be a true father," he'd say sadly. "I have
too many problems."
Mr. ANDERSON spent his last afternoon with Christine. That night,
Mr. CURRAN suspects he was making his way back to the shelter.
It was his practice to show up early in the morning, though not
always in good spirits. "You wouldn't want to approach him then,"
says Mr. CURRAN. "
Most average citizens would walk away." But
he'd sleep it off, and, later, they might catch up over a sandwich.
They weren't so different, Mr.
CURRAN observes: They each had
a daughter and wanted to be the best fathers possible.
At his funeral, when Friends rose to speak, Wayne
BOUCHER described
how he met Mr.
ANDERSON when they were both living on the streets
of Toronto in 1995. In Ottawa, they often drank together.
"He was never a lost soul," Mr.
BOUCHER said, standing at the
foot of his friend's coffin. "He always knew the direction he
wanted to go. Unfortunately, we all got our addictions."

successful career in the fur business while actively contributing
to the civic and Jewish communities. He was a loyal and affectionate

HULL,
Marian "
Murphy"
Marian 'Murphy'
HULL was born in Poland in 1924 and immigrated
to Canada at the age of 9 during the Great Depression. He left
school after only finishing grade 7 to help support his family.
He joined the Canadian Navy during World War 2 and after the
war became a plasterer. This early experience was an important
stepping stone for Murphy in becoming one of the foremost builder/developers
in Toronto. He married the love of his life Helen, in 1948. A nomination
for the Order of Canada was accepted by Rideau Hall this year
and was in process at the time of his death. Murphy's intelligence,
integrity and work ethic created a truly remarkable life for
himself and his family. In more recent years a partnership with
Tridel Corporation led to many high quality condominium developments
throughout Greater Toronto. His legacy, Hullmark Centre, which
is to be built at the corner of Yonge and Sheppard, will be the
centre piece of downtown North York. Murphy was committed to
giving back to his community. He always said that Canada had
been so good to him but he was also so good to Canada. He was
a founding member of York Finch General Hospital, now Humber
River Regional Hospital, a director for 30 years and chair of
the board for 3. He was instrumental in locating the hospital
at 400 and Finch. In 1968 he assisted the Director of Education
in the acquisition of a building site for Seneca College. In
1975 he was a founding member of Copernicus Lodge, a Polish non-profit
long term and senior self care facility. He has been a director
since then, chaired the building committee and in 1993 became
chair of the board. He oversaw all phases of this long term care
facility with vision, leadership and superb attention to detail.
He attended weekly meetings and took part in every social function
that they had. He was extremely proud of the work that he and
everyone involved had created. In 2002 he received the Queen
Elizabeth Golden Jubilee medal. He did not allow his busy business
and volunteer life to consume all of his time and was deeply
committed to his family. He taught his children to ski and spent
every summer with them in Georgian Bay, the 2nd love of his life.
He assisted all of his children in their business endeavors.
These traditions continued with his 7 grandchildren whom he and
Helen took skiing every year. For years, he regularly 'tied'
7 pairs of ski boots. As a result of their grandparent's loving
time and care, the grandchildren feel more like brothers and
sisters. He has been generous to all of us and taught us the
value of hard work and fr ugality. We will all miss him and will
love him dearly forever. To all who knew him, Murphy was a force
of nature. Diagnosed with cancer over a year ago, Murphy lived
the last year of his life to its fullest. He passed bravely into
death in his home on June 27th, 2008. He was so deeply loved
by his wife Helen, son Richard (predeceased), daughters Barb
and Cindy, son-in-laws David and Brian, grandchildren, Ben and
his wife Stephanie, Hannah and her husband Mike, Brian and his
wife Anna, Jeff and his partner Christie, Brennan, Lily, and
Wilf, great-grandchildren Quinn and Oleh, sisters Adele and Bernice
and her husband Morrie. The family would like to thank Doctor Ted
PTAK and Doctor Sam
BERGER and the staff at Humber River Regional
Hospital, the staff of St. Elizabeth Home Care and Allan Hernandes-Cisne
for their attentive care and support. Most importantly we would
like to thank Carol and Angelo
DELZOTTO for their daily devotion
and love and Harvey
FRUITMAN and Linda

He fought so hard to stay with us
He knew we'd miss him so
But God knew he was hurting
And said, "It's time to go."
He suffered long without complaint
Oh yes, he paid his dues
He never once said "pity me"
Just smiled and saw it through.
His pain has stopped, the hurting done,
How we miss his dear sweet face.
God took his hand and led him home
He's in a better place.
One year ago he left us
With fond memories ever more
We all know he will be waiting
On the other shore.

SOUTHAM o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2008-07-03 published
Champion of culture in Canada 'epitomized the values of the NAC'
Third-generation member of famous newspaper family grew up in
a lifestyle of privilege and chose the diplomatic corps over
journalism. Later, he helped launch the National Arts Centre
and the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S9
Passionate, romantic, a lover of culture, the high arts and beautiful
women, Hamilton
SOUTHAM was in many ways an 18th-century gentleman,
given to quoting poetry, rereading the classic works of literature
and history, attending opera, ballet and theatrical performances,
and collecting paintings by modern masters. Until the end of
his days, he expressed his faith in the ultimate meaning of life
by quoting these lines from Milton's Samson Agonistes: "All is
best, though we oft doubt, /What th' unsearchable dispose/Of
highest wisdom brings about, / and ever best found in the close."/
Born into the third generation of the Southam newspaper dynasty,
he grew up in a gilded world of wealth and privilege, in which
winters were spent in Florida and summers in Europe and the family
enclave at Big Rideau Lake near Ottawa. Fighting for his country
for six years in the Second World War stiffened the public-service
component of his complicated character. After working in journalism,
he turned his back on the family business and opted for diplomacy
in its Pearsonian heyday, serving as ambassador to Poland, among
other postings. But it was his lengthy tenure in the trenches
of the cultural, linguistic and nationalistic battlefields that
forged his legacy as the builder and founding general director
of the National Arts Centre, a visionary fundraiser and force
behind the Canadian War Museum, the Canadian Battle of Normandy
Foundation and the Valiants Memorial and an active contributor
to many other cultural institutions.
How fitting that such a Canadian giant should die on Canada Day,
said Peter Herrndorf, president of the National Arts Centre,
describing Mr.
SOUTHAM as a man of exquisite taste with a single-minded
devotion to the arts and an incredible capacity for Friendship.
"He had been for many years, well before I came here, one of
my heroes and he stayed a hero though my professional life. Never
did I imagine that I would not only build on Hamilton's legacy
at the National Arts Centre, but also become his friend," said
Mr. Herrndorf. "He became like a second dad to me, both in personal
terms and very much in professional terms - and in typical dad
terms, he was both wonderful in his support and tough when I
wasn't living up to what he expected. It's a big loss because
he epitomized the values of the National Arts Centre."
Gordon Hamilton
SOUTHAM was born in December, 1916, and named
after an uncle who had been killed two months earlier at the
Battle of the Somme. His family called him Hamilton because he
had an older cousin, Gordon, who lived next door, in what amounted
to a family enclave in the elite Rockliffe Park area of Ottawa.
His parents' house, called Lindenelm, later became the Spanish
embassy.
Hamilton's▼ father, Wilson
SOUTHAM, the oldest of six sons of
William SOUTHAM (1843-1932,) the proprietor of The Hamilton Spectator
and founder of the Southam newspaper empire, was the publisher
of the Ottawa Citizen. Hamilton's mother, Henrietta
CARGILL,
was the daughter of Conservative politician Henry
CARGILL, who
died after collapsing on the floor of the House of Commons.
The youngest of his parents' six children, Hamilton went to Elmwood
School and then Ashbury College, the private boy's school in
Ottawa. In those days, French was taught as though it were a
dead language, so it was years before he became bilingual. But
the school did nurture his love for Latin, the classics, and
poetry, which he delighted in declaiming until the end of his
life. He also played Gratiano in The Merchant of Venice, "lightly
with exactly the right touch of flippancy," according to drama
critic Ted Devlin.
After doing summer-school classes at Glebe and Lisgar Collegiates,
he entered Trinity College at the University of Toronto in 1934.
He graduated with a degree in history in 1939, having taken a
year out, halfway through, recovering from a serious car crash
that left him with a crooked smile - a rugged distinction in
a classically handsome face. After U of T, he sailed to England
intending to do a master's degree in modern history at Christ
Church College, Oxford. Almost as soon as he arrived, Britain
declared war on Germany and he enlisted in the British Army as
an officer cadet in the Royal Artillery.
Simultaneously, he renewed his Friendship with Jacqueline
LAMBERT-
DAVID,
the daughter of a sculptor from a land-owning French family.
They had met in Canada that summer through family Friends. When
the hostilities commenced, she managed to make her way back to
London by ship from New York because the United States was still
neutral. They married in London on April 15, 1940, while he was
in training. (They eventually had four children and were divorced
in the late 1960s; she died in 1998.) A month after the wedding,
he received his commission as a lieutenant.
Meanwhile, the 40th battery of the Canadian Field Artillery (in
which his uncle and namesake, Gordon
SOUTHAM, had served) had
mobilized for active service under Frank Keen, assistant editor
of the Hamilton Spectator, as the 11th Army Field Regiment, 40th
Battalion of Hamilton. As soon as the battalion arrived in England,
Lt. SOUTHAM applied for a transfer from the British Army so that
he could serve with the Canadian Forces. By the autumn of 1943,
the 1st Canadian Infantry Division, which was heavily engaged
in Italy, urgently needed replacements. He volunteered to join
the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. He fought in the battle of
Ortona in December, 1943, and the final battle of Monte Cassino
from April to May, 1944, and was part of the advance of the Canadian
Army up through Italy and later from Marseilles northward in
France. He was mentioned in dispatches for "gallant and distinguished
services" and demobilized with the rank of captain.
After the war, he worked briefly for The Times of London before
returning to Canada and an uneasy job as an editorial writer
for the Citizen in 1946. "I couldn't write quickly enough," he
said in an interview at his home in Rockliffe in 2004. "My editor
would give me a subject - 500 words on such and such a subject
by 3 o'clock. My instinct was to go to the parliamentary library
for a week and then come back with the 500 words," he said. "I
was wretched." He went to his uncle Harry
SOUTHAM, then publisher
of the Citizen, and said, "I can't manage to do this, so I am
going to External Affairs."
He wrote the examinations and joined the department in 1948 under
Lester Pearson at a time when Canada "had a role to play" and
when being part of the foreign service was "riding the crest
of a wave, as far as I was concerned." It was "a wonderful time,"
Mr. SOUTHAM said, his eyes flashing under his expressive beetle
brows. "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young
was very heaven!" he said, quoting Wordsworth.
In 1949, Mr.
SOUTHAM (and his family, which now included a second
son, Christopher, who is now called Abdul) was posted to Stockholm
as third secretary under ambassador Tommy Stone. After nearly
four years, they returned to Ottawa before being posted to Warsaw
as chargé d'affaires in March, 1959. By then, the Southams had
two more children, Jennifer and Michael. This posting was one
of the highlights of Mr.
SOUTHAM's diplomatic career because
he solved the "Polish Treasures" problem.
After Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, the curator
of Krakow removed a number of treasures from Wawel Castle, including
tapestries and the sword of state. Following a circuitous route,
they ended up in museum warehouses in Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec
City. After the war, Poland, then behind the Iron Curtain, requested
the return of its state treasures. That was fine with the Canadian
federal government, but not with Maurice Duplessis, then premier
of Quebec. He refused to hand anything over to a Communist government.
Amid the diplomatic fracas, "we never sent an ambassador there
and they never sent an ambassador here," Mr.
SOUTHAM explained.
Mr. Duplessis died in office in September, 1959, and was succeeded
by Paul Sauvé, "a more rational man" who agreed to ship the treasures
back, causing Poland and Canada "to unfreeze their governments
and to exchange ambassadors." And so, Mr.
SOUTHAM's grateful
government promoted him "sur place" to the rank of ambassador
in April, 1960.
In 1962, the Southams returned to Ottawa, where he was appointed
head of the information division at External Affairs. He was
at work one day when he received a visit from Faye Loeb of the
IGA grocery chain. She wanted him to help spearhead a citizens'
move to build a performing arts centre in Ottawa. Rashly, he
promised to find an appropriate candidate and, if necessary,
to take charge himself.
"Time ran out and Faye came back," is the way he described his
assumption of the leadership of the National Capital Arts Alliance
in 1963. At its height, the alliance included about 60 arts organizations
in Ottawa. They raised enough money (about $7,000) to commission
a feasibility study, which recommended both the building of a
performing arts centre and the holding of an annual national
festival in Ottawa. In 1964, Mr.
SOUTHAM took the completed study
(with its projected costs of $9-million) to his old boss Mr. Pearson,
by this point prime minister, and persuaded him that the proposed
building would be an ideal centennial project for the federal
government.
"He thought about it for a month and then came back and said,
'We'll do it,' Mr.
SOUTHAM said. "After that, it was his project
and he never gave up on it." The prime minister arranged for
Mr. SOUTHAM to be lent from External Affairs to Secretary of
State, which appointed him co-ordinator of the National Arts
Centre in February, 1964.
The decision about the architect for the new facility was left
up to Mr. SOUTHAM. He recommended Fred
LEBENSOLD, who had already
built the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, had won the competition
for Confederation Centre in Charlottetown, and would later build
Place des Arts in Montreal. Mr.
LEBENSOLD did a quick estimate
of $16-million and signed on as architect. Mr.
SOUTHAM was appointed
inaugural director of the National Arts Centre in 1967 and oversaw
the construction of Mr.
LEBENSOLD's hexagonal buildings on 2.6 hectares
on the banks of the Rideau River, defending vociferous criticism
along the way as the costs spiralled to a final tally of more
than $46-million. (By this time, Mr.
SOUTHAM's first marriage
had disintegrated. He married Gro
MORTENSON of Oslo in 1968,
with whom he had two children, Henrietta and Gordon. He and his
second wife were divorced in the late 1970s, but as with all
of Mr. SOUTHAM's wives, she remained on affectionate terms with
him.)
The multifaceted performance centre, with three halls including
the country's first professional opera house, two restaurants,
two theatre companies and its own touring symphony orchestra,
opened in June of 1969 with the National Ballet of Canada performing
two commissioned ballets - The Queen by Grant Strate to music
by Louis Applebaum, and Kraanerg by Roland Petit to music by
Iannis Xenakis. The following night, when the ballet danced John
Cranko's Romeo and Juliet, something went wrong with the technology
in the orchestra pit. Conductor George Crum and some of his musicians
slowly ascended above stage level, leading Mr. Crum to say later
that it was "the only time I ever looked down on Celia Franca,"
who was performing as Lady Capulet. After two terms as director-general,
Mr. SOUTHAM stepped down in March of 1977.
Less than a year later, after a short respite spent sailing his
yacht, Mr.
SOUTHAM was persuaded by secretary of state John Roberts
to become chair of Festival Canada and take charge of the national
celebrations on Canada Day. He was paid a dollar a year and required
to appear before a Commons committee to answer questions about
his mandate and budget. When some members criticized the fluently
bilingual Mr.
SOUTHAM for preparing a report in English - he
said later that he hadn't had time to have it translated - he
sent a letter resigning from his post in French to the minister.
It was rejected and Mr.
SOUTHAM oversaw celebrations in hundreds
of communities across the country and a blow-out televised extravaganza
on Parliament Hill on the theme "You and Me - Le Canada, C'est
Toi et Moi." In the 1980s, Mr.
SOUTHAM was a partner in Lively
Arts Market Builders, a scheme to create a television channel
devoted to producing and broadcasting plays, concerts, films
and programs on the arts. The group received a cable television
licence and launched the pay-television C Channel in January,
1983. But it failed to attract subscribers and went into receivership
six months later. Rogers Cablesystems Inc. bought its pay-television
licence that December for $12,500.
(The following year, Mr.
SOUTHAM married for the third and final
time. Marion
TANTON, a French woman he had known and loved for
many years, was the wife of the late Pierre
CHARPENTIER, a former
Canadian ambassador, and the mother of his three children. She
died of cancer in May, 2005.)
In January, 1985, prime minister Brian Mulroney appointed Mr.
SOUTHAM
chair of the Official Residences Council, a civilian oversight
group he had established amidst mounting criticism of the cost
of maintaining official residences. Mr.
SOUTHAM's tenure was
not an easy one; there were political brawls about work done
on the speaker's house in Kingsmere; on Stornoway, the residence
of the opposition leader; and on both official prime ministerial
residences.
His beloved National Arts Centre went through a long period of
turmoil beginning in the mid-1980s, involving funding crises,
a revolving series of chairs and artistic directors and a strike
by the National Arts Centre orchestra, before it began to stabilize
more than a decade later with the appointment in the late 1990s
of David Leighton as chair of the board and Mr. Herrndorf as
president and chief executive - thanks in no small part to Mr.
SOUTHAM's
behind-the-scenes lobbying. Early in 2000, during Mr. Herrndorf's
tenure, a grateful National Arts Centre renamed its opera auditorium
Southam Hall in his honour and threw a lavish party for him on
his 90th birthday.
After attending the rededication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
on September 17, 1999, Mr.
SOUTHAM met some Friends for lunch
at the Rideau Club. He had been "moved" by the ceremony and by
governor-general Adrienne Clarkson's "wonderful" speech, and
he began thinking that the fallen soldier "should have some company
on Confederation Square," rather like the "great cloud of witnesses,"
described by St. Paul in his epistles. Those lunchtime musings
led to his final public campaign, which was realized seven years
later when Governor-General Michaëlle Jean unveiled the $1.1-million
Valiants Memorial. He considered the Valiants his second great
project after the National Arts Centre. "Parliament Hill is full
of statues of prime ministers and politicians, some of them good,
some of them not good. But in Ottawa, there shouldn't just be
statues of politicians," he said. "It is the capital of the country
and there should be statues of the men and women who have made
this country."
Aside from building monuments to others, Mr.
SOUTHAM enjoyed
sitting in the study of his Ottawa home, a well-proportioned,
light-filled room lined with bookcases, rereading the complete
works of Anthony Trollope and "contemplating three generations
of reading." He had his grandfather's books on the top shelf,
his father's Everyman editions on the second and his own books
on the third shelf. As well, he was examining his own soul. "I
have lived my life, and that which I have done may God himself
make pure," he said. "I meditate and I don't compare today with
yesterday. I have more important comparisons, concerning my inner
life, and I have much to think about." He was an Anglican, but
he "was thinking the same thoughts" as a Catholic or a Jew or
a Muslim. The soul is a more important part of our being than
character," he said. "It is essential."
And so he spent his last years in contemplation and in visiting
with close Friends and family, enjoying life and engaged with
the world around him.
On Canada Day, he was about to go for a drive with his valet
when he suddenly felt tired. He lay down for a rest and quietly
died.
Gordon Hamilton
SOUTHAM was born in Ottawa on December 19, 1916.
He died July 1, 2008, at home in Ottawa of complications from
cancer. He was 91. He is survived by his second wife, Gro
MORTENSON,
his six children and his extended family. A private family funeral
is planned followed by a memorial service at St. Bartholomew's
Anglican Church, Ottawa, later in July.

SOUTHAM,
Gordon
Hamilton▲
Hamilton SOUTHAM died peacefully at home on Tuesday July 1st
at the age of 91. He was born in Ottawa on December 19th, 1916,
the youngest child of Wilson Mills
SOUTHAM and Henrietta Alberta
CARGILL.
After graduating from the University of Toronto with
a degree in history in 1939, he abandoned his graduate studies
at Christ Church College, Oxford in order to join the war effort
and enrolled in the British Army as an officer cadet in the Royal
Artillery winning his commission in 1940. That same year, when
the Canadian Army reached Britain, he transferred to the Canadian
11th Army Field Regiment, 40th Battalion of Hamilton (in which
his uncle and namesake, Gordon Hamilton, had served until he
was killed in action at the battle of the Somme in 1916). In
1943, responding to an urgent call for replacements at the front,
he volunteered to join the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery in
Italy. He saw action at the battle of Ortona as well as the final
battle of Monte Cassino and was mentioned in dispatches.
After the war he worked at the Times of London and the Ottawa
Citizen before joining the Department of External Affairs in
1948. He was posted to Sweden from 1949 to 1953, and in 1959,
was posted to Poland, where he served first as chargé d'affaires
and later as ambassador. On his return to Ottawa in 1962 he was
appointed head of the information division of External Affairs.
In 1963 he assumed the leadership of the National Capital Arts
Alliance, a grouping of some 60 arts organizations in Ottawa
pressing for the building of a national performing arts centre.
A feasibility study was commissioned and the Pearson government
was persuaded to adopt the project in celebration of Canada's
centennial. He was appointed co-ordinator of the National Arts
Centre, in February, 1964 with the task of overseeing the construction
and planning the programmes and activities of the new institution.
After the National Arts Centre's opening, in 1969, he served
two terms as director-general before stepping down in 1977.
Of particular note among his many activities since his retirement
from the National Arts Centre are his founding and presidency
of the Canadian Mediterranean Institute from 1980 to 1986 and
a variety of initiatives aimed at raising public consciousness
of the importance of the military in Canadian history. He was
a founder of the Battle of Normandy Foundation, 1992, one of
the main initiators of the new War Museum, inaugurated in 2005 and
the founder and president of the Valiants Foundation, responsible
for the erection of the Valiants Memorial on Confederation square,
in Ottawa, inaugurated by Governor-General Michaëlle Jean in
He married Jacqueline
LAMBERT-
DAVID in 1940 and they had four
children, Peter, Abdul, Jennifer and Michael. In 1969, he married
Gro MORTENSEN, and they had two children, Henrietta and Gordon.
In 1981 he married Marion
TANTOT, mother of Frederic, Manon and
Virginie. He shared with Marion his retirement years in Grignan,
France, and Ottawa. Marion died in 2005. He will be sadly missed
by Gro Mortensen
SOUTHAM, his children, his ten grandchildren,
and his extended family and Friends. A private family funeral
was held on Friday and a memorial service will be held at St. Bartholomew's
Anglican Church 125 Mackay Street, Ottawa, on Sunday July 20th
at 1 p.m.
