TESKEY,
William
Howard
In his 84th year. Passed away at home on Thursday, May 1st, 2008.
Beloved husband of Gertrude for 58 years. Loving father to John
(Sheila), Gary (Minerva), Roy (Jane), Mark (Michele) and Cheryl
(Vincent). Grandfather to Jeffrey, Ian, Philip, Christine, Kurt,
William, Scott, James, Gary, Patrick, Katie and Emily; brother
to Marion EADIE; predeceased by brothers Melvin, George and sister
Joan. Howard was born in Orillia, a farmer's son. He met and
married Gertie in Orillia and they came to Toronto in 1944 and
started their family. In 1952, Howard and his brothers George
and Mel founded Teskey Construction and Teskey Concrete which
has provided a livelihood for many Toronto area families for
over 50 years. The business provided the backdrop for a wonderful
life with family, Friends and work colleagues alike, as Howard
will be remembered as someone who loved life and lived it to
the fullest. Howard greatly enjoyed golfing at St. George's,
the National and the Vines Golf Clubs, cottage time in Orillia,
winters in Florida and taking trips with Gertie and 'the boys'.
His dry sense of humour and enjoyment of time with Friends and
family, together with the 'odd' cigar were signature Howard moments.
Howard was a devoted hockey dad and became a devoted hockey Granddad
and took pride in all of his childrens' and grandchildrens' accomplishments,
whether hockey, golf, baseball, academic achievements or just
visits with him. Howard will be greatly missed by the employees
of Teskey, his many work acquaintances, his golfing and card
room buddies, and his and Gertie's many dear Friends. Friends
may call at the Turner and Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas St. W.,
Etobicoke, (between Islington and Kipling Aves.) Saturday from
2-4 and 6-9 p.m. Funeral service will be held on Sunday, May 4,
2008 at 2 o'clock at Kingsway Lambton United Church, 85 The Kingsway,
Toronto. A graveside service will be held in Orillia at St. Andrews/Saint_James
Cemetery on Monday, May 5, 2008 at 12 noon for family and Friends
in Orillia. Donations to the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation
would be appreciated.

MEDLEY,
Kathleen
Marie (née
CLOUGH-
ORMISTON)
In loving memory of Kathleen Marie
MEDLEY (née
CLOUGH-
ORMISTON)
who died Saturday morning, February 2, 2008 in Oakville. She
was born on August 6, 1921 to Frank and Marjorie (née
TESTER)
CLOUGH-
ORMISTON, in Pembroke, Ontario and was the older sister
to the late Doctor Michael
ORMISTON.
During her childhood, she spent
time in Ontario, Indiana and Kentucky before attending school
in England. She graduated from Ashford School and earned a full
scholarship to King's College in London where she received her
B.Sc. in Geography and Physics as well as her A.K.C. She attended
university during World War 2 enduring the Blitz in London, and
she volunteered for the Auxiliary Territorial Service and drove
an ambulance in London in 1943. After the war, she lived in Paris
before returning to Canada. Marie enjoyed the North and often
recalled fondly her experiences teaching north of Kapuskasing
in Smokey Falls, Ontario in a one-room schoolhouse in 1947. In
1948 she married Graham B.
MEDLEY in Toronto and in 1952 they
moved to Onaping, Ontario where they raised their 6 children
John, Michael, Virginia, Andrew, and twins Quintus and Marjorie
alongside other early residents who, in sharing this adventure,
became lifelong Friends. She later described this time in Onaping
as the happiest years of her life. Marie greatly enjoyed being
a supply teacher at Levack District High School in the 60's and
70's and
at Sudbury Secondary and Lo-Ellen Park in the 80's.
She loved the arts, especially classical music and live theatre
and she was a long-time supporter of the Sudbury Theatre Centre.
She also served on the Onaping Falls Library Board and was instrumental
in establishing a library branch in Dowling. Marie died after
a long and courageous battle with Parkinson's disease and is
survived by her children, 9 grandchildren, and 5 nieces and nephews.
Family will receive visitors on Wednesday, February 6, 2008 from
