BROCKHOUSE, Bertram Neville - professor emeritus at McMaster University, who shared the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics with Clifford Shull, died on 13 October 2003 in Hamilton, Canada. Bert was born in Lethbridge, Canada, on 15 July 1918 and grew up in Vancouver. He began his elementary school education in a one-room schoolhouse a few miles from the family farm. Completing high school at the height of the Depression, and with limited employment prospects, he moved with his family to Chicago in 1935. There, he took evening courses in radio repair and design that earned him a position as a laboratory assistant in an electrical firm and allowed him to repair radios on his own time. After three years in Chicago, the family returned to Vancouver. In 1939, soon after Canada was at war with the Axis powers, Bert enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy and went to sea as a sonar operator before eventually rising to the position of electrical sub-lieutenant. After his discharge from the navy in 1945, he took advantage of a veterans' program to begin studies at the University of British Columbia, where he majored in physics and mathematics. On completion of his bachelor's degree in 1946, he obtained summer work in the electrical standards section of the National Research Council in Ottawa. During that summer, Bert, a motorcycle enthusiast in his youth, rode his motorcycle three-quarters of the way across North America, from Vancouver to Ottawa, via Chicago--no mean feat. He subsequently completed a master's degree in physics at the University of Toronto. His doctoral studies there, initially supervised by Edward Bullard, earned him his PhD in 1950 with a thesis on the effects of stress and temperature on the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic materials. That same year, Bert began work at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories of the National Research Council of Canada's Atomic Energy Project near Ottawa. There, he would do the work that won him the Nobel Prize. He collaborated with Donald Hurst, Myer Bloom, G. Goldschmidt, and N. Page in studying the resonant scattering of slow neutrons by strong absorbers. Ultimately, members of the group proposed the idea of studying the inelastic scattering of slow neutrons, an effort deemed feasible because Chalk River's National Research Experimental (NRX) reactor was then the world's highest flux beam reactor. By 1952, Bert had designed and built a triple-axis machine to measure the frequency distribution of phonon excitations in crystals. After much experimentation with a variety of techniques both at Chalk River and at Brookhaven National Laboratory over the next few years, Bert and his collaborators ultimately developed the famed triple-axis spectrometer with all angles adjustable so that it was possible to carry out scans as a function of energy at fixed momentum transfer--the so-called constant-Q technique. By 1958, a triple-axis spectrometer was operating at Chalk River's new National Research Universal reactor, with much enhanced neutron flux as compared with NRX, and the stage was set for great progress. Triple-axis spectrometers adorn high-flux beam reactors around the world to this day, and the constant-Q technique is in frequent current use. Using the constant-Q triple axis and other inelastic neutron scattering techniques, Bert and his collaborators were very quickly able to carry out a remarkable series of seminal measurements. Those included measurements of the phonon dispersion curves in metals such as aluminum and lead, semiconductors such as silicon and germanium, and insulators such as the alkali halides. Bert's work measuring insulators, done in collaboration with David Woods and William Cochran, led to the development of the famed shell model. In addition to the seminal work on phonon dispersion curves, Bert pioneered studies of other elementary excitations in solids including spin-wave excitations (magnons) and crystal-field excitons. Key members of the Chalk River group at that time, in addition to those previously named, included Alec Stewart, Roger A. Cowley, and Gerald Dolling. Of course, the facilities at Chalk River and Bert's own successful experimentation drew many great visiting scientists from around the world including P. Iyengar, M. Sakamoto, K. Rao, L. Becka, H. Watanabe, B. Dasannacharya, and J. Bergsma. Even after Bert moved to McMaster, the group that he established at Chalk River continued to flourish, and many scientists, including ourselves, received their first training in neutron scattering there. From 1962 until he retired in 1984, Bert was a professor of physics at McMaster. His presence was instrumental in building up a research- intensive department through the 1960s, and he served as chairman of the physics department at McMaster from 1967 to 1970. An interdisciplinary materials research institute at McMaster, founded by Howard Petch and James Morrison in 1969, was renamed the Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research in 1995. There, as at Chalk River, Bert mentored many students who have gone on to have significant careers in physics. Although greatly admired for his intellect and novel ways of approaching problems, Bert is remembered for his affection and his humble, gracious manner. Shortly after the announcement that he was a winner of the Nobel Prize, for example, Bert told a gathering of Canadian undergraduate physics students at McMaster that he used to think that his work was not so important, but recent events had forced him to reconsider. He is also remembered for his love of the arts: He often sang opera at work and he appeared in a number of amateur theater productions including a George Bernard Shaw play and Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. Even during the most hectic and productive time in his career, Bert found time to be a devoted family man with six children and, ultimately, 10 grandchildren. Although Bert's passing is mourned by his many friends and colleagues, we have been inspired by a life of great accomplishment. Robert J. Birgeneau University of Toronto Toronto, Canada Bruce D.

CHARLTON, Donald (Chick) (11 Dec 1922 - 01 Jul 2010) . WWII Veteran, Businessman, Nova Scotia Sports Hall of Fame Athlete Donald (Chick) Charlton Passes Away - Charlton, Donald (Chick). It is with great sadness that the family of Donald (Chick) Charlton announces the passing of our beloved father in the early morning hours of Canada Day, due to cancer. Dad was born on 11 December 1922 and was raised in the Oxford Street area of Halifax. An active and athletic youth, his forte was hockey and baseball. In December 1942, after apprenticing in HMC Dockyard, Dad volunteered for the Royal Canadian Air Force. As luck would have it, he was posted to the Air Sea Rescue and Supply Squadron at Shearwater. Assigned to the ship MV Eskimo, Dad spent over 500 days at sea working as a Marine Engineer - Chief of the Watch. MV Eskimo was tasked to provide rescue services and also to re-supply Air Force stations along the Atlantic seaboard including Newfoundland and Labrador, St. Pierre and Miquelon and across to Iceland. Discharged from the RCAF in 1946, Dad joined the Moncton Hawks of the old Maritime Big 4 Senior Hockey League. They won the Maritime Title that year, defeating the Cornwall Ontario team in the Eastern Canada Quarter Finals. Unfortunately, the Hawks lost to the Hamilton Tigers in the semi-finals. In 1947-48, he played for the Halifax Crescents moving to the Glace Bay Miners in 1948-49. During the off seasons of 1946 to 1948, Dad played baseball. He was a member of the Halifax Arrows in 1946 - 1947. The Arrows won the Maritime Senior title defeating the Marysville Royals in 1946. Following his stint with the Arrows, he played with the Halifax Capitals in 1947-1948. They won the Maritime title in 1948 defeating Saint John, NB. After four very successful years of semi-pro hockey and baseball, Dad accepted a sales job with an international confectionary company. Married in 1948 to his sweetheart from Moncton, Camilla Alice LeBlanc, they started their family and by 1955 four children occupied their home and their lives. In 1961, Dad joined A.G. Brown & Sons Food Brokerage and for the next ten years moved the family to Moncton then to Saint John then back to Moncton and then back to Halifax, building his career as time went by. When Garnet Brown entered politics in 1971, Dad looked after the operation of the Food Brokerage until his retirement in 1984. He was a Life member of the Canadian Professional Sales Association. Throughout his career Dad was a well respected businessman and athlete. He was a loving, caring and devoted father and husband, who provided a comfortable and happy life for the family. He loved his family and was tremendously proud of his four children and their families including three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

DAY, Alfred David John (Hap) (14 Jul 1923 - 14 Jul 2015) - It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our father John Day. John was predeceased by his loving wife Joyce in 2007. John leaves to mourn his four sons David (Jan), Jack (Kathy), Robert and Tim, his grandchildren Trevor (Mel), Miranda, Katie (Cody), Jordan, Coltin, Rebecca (Craig) and great-grandchildren Cayden, Cali and Oliver. As a young boy, Dad lived in Elmwood with his parents, and at the age of 17 left home to join the navy where he served his country aboard the HMCS St. Therese. At the end of the Second World War, he found work in Long Lake, Manitoba, where he met the love of his life, Joyce. While raising their four sons, he sometimes worked away from his family when he found employment in parts of B.C. and Manitoba. His career as a stationary steam engineer finally settled them in Winnipeg where he worked at the General Hospital, Winnipeg Post Office and finally Canada Revenue. He retired in 1981. Joyce and Hap (as she always called him) then settled in Silver Falls. They made many friends while living in the community. John taught his boys love of nature, fairness and respect all qualities he possessed. He was quick to help someone any way he could and loved to regale anyone at all with his wonderful stories. Whenever those of us who knew him well, hear the words "hypothetically", "theoretically", or "chin wag", we will certainly think of him. We would like to thank all the many friends who stood by him and made his life as wonderful as it was. There weren't too many days Dad was left to his own devices because of the wonderful people who were such a big part of his life. Navy Prayer O eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out of the heavens, and rulest the raging of the sea; who has compassed the waters with bounds until day and night come to an end; be pleased to receive into thy almighty and most gracious protection the persons of us thy servants and the fleet in which we serve. Preserve us from the dangers of the sea, and from the violence of the enemy; that we may be a safeguard unto our most gracious sovereign lady, Queen Elizabeth and her dominions, and security for such as pass on the seas upon their lawful occasion; that the inhabitants of our commonwealth may in peace and quietness serve thee our God; and that we may return in safety to enjoy the blessings of the land, with the fruits of our labours, and with a thankful remembrance of thy mercies to praise and glorify thy holy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Funeral service will be held on Monday, July 20, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Notre Dame du Laus Roman Catholic Church, 40 Laura Street, Powerview, Manitoba. Private family interment to follow.

DRUMMOND, Robert Clare (13 Aug 1921 - 04 Sep 2015) - It is with sadness and much love that we say goodbye to our beloved Father, Papa, Grand Papa, Brother, Uncle and Friend. Robert Clare Drummond of Edmonton, passed away peacefully on September 4, 2015 at the age of 94. Clare is lovingly remembered by his sons Jim (Edith), Doug (Cheryl), Bob (Adele) and daughter Darlene. Grandchildren- Reid (Dawn), Derek (Tara), Kelley (Steven), Kyle (Jen), Jerilyn (Nils), Michelle (Dwayne) and Chad (Caitlin). Great Grand Children- Cailie, Cohen, Callum, Sullivan, Parker, Finley, Lukas, Hazel, Claire, Rosie and Norah. His last remaining brother Jim Drummond (Minneapolis). Clare will also be lovingly remembered by nieces, nephews and other relatives and many dear friends. Clare was predeceased by Mary, his wife of 59 years, and beloved parents, Milford and Maggie, and brothers, Clark and Lawrence. Clare was born in Isabella, Manitoba in 1921 before moving to Winnipeg where he attended Kelvin High School. He started his career working at the CNR, but after 11 months war broke out, and he decided to join the Navy. He trained as a wireless operator for the HMCS Mimico Corvette convoying ships across the Atlantic in World War II. When Clare came home from the Navy on leave, he married Mary Campbell Mowat on July 4, 1945 (as Dad would say, "the day USA got its independence, he lost his!"). He went back to the CNR for 44 years taking transfers to Winnipeg, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and finally Edmonton in 1960. They both enjoyed retirement in 1985 by moving to Whiterock, BC where he was active as President for his complex and Lion's club. Clare enjoyed retirement by writing stories and then compiling family history for the Drummonds, Mowats and Clarks. He was proud of the Scottish and Irish Heritages and the stories that unfolded through history. In 2004, shortly after Mary passed away, Clare moved back to Edmonton to be with his sons and daughter where he enjoyed being a great grandpa and completed his journey to see all of his grandchildren get married. Clare lived a full and joyful life filled with humor and love. We wish to thank the staff at his living quarters in Rosedale and the care he received at the Royal Alexandra Hospital & Robbins Pavilion. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, September 11 @ 1:00 PM at Trinity United Church (8810 Meadowlark Road - across from Meadowlark S/C). In lieu of flowers, donations accepted to The War Amps of Canada.

DWVINICZUK, George (23 Aug 1932 - 19 Aug 2015) - It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father. George Dwviniczuk was born in Hardieville, Alberta on August 23, 1932, to Dora and Mike Dwviniczuk. He was the youngest of four children. Dad joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1952. Initially as a Combat Engineer, and later he re-mustered to the Postal Corps. As a young solider he was stationed at Canadian Forces bases in England and Germany. When he came back to Canada, his next posting was Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was there that he met a young, bright blue eyed, Canadian Air Force woman. Shirley captured my dad's heart and they were married in June 1957. Since my father was in the Postal Corps, he could be posted to any military base that had a post office. Army, Navy, Air Force, where all included in his long career. He served on HMCS Bonaventure, one of the Royal Canadian Navy's aircraft carriers. He also spent six months serving with the United Nations in Egypt and Israel. As a military family, my Mom and I followed my father around the globe. We moved every three years during my father's career. Dad retired from the military in 1977. Shortly thereafter he went to work for Canada Post, where he worked night shift until his retirement. George enjoyed being around people and was an active member of the Knights of Columbus, and the Royal Canadian Legion. He and my mother would often be seen selling poppies in the mall. Dad loved spending time with his family. He adored his grandchildren, Kristin and Kyle. His door was always open to friends, family, and a wayward dog on occasion. He will leave fond memories in the hearts of many people. In later years, my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It was heartbreaking to watch such a smart man decline into the world of this disease. My mother cared for my father until her death in 2012. Shortly, thereafter he went to live at Cascade Lodge. Three days before his 83rd birthday, Dad made his final journey. I am sure he is happy to be reunited with my Mom. Our immediate family is a small one, and he leaves behind his daughter Doreen, son-in-law Harry and grandchildren Jackie (Dan), Kristin, Kyle and Julie. He is predeceased by his father (Mike), mother (Dora), brother (Mike), sisters (Helen) and (Mary), and lastly, his wife (Shirley). I would like to thank all the nursing staff on the first floor at Cascade Lodge. The kindness and care that you gave my father was something I am truly grateful for. You are a very special group.

He was proud to have served his country during both the Second World War and the Korean War, receiving the 1939-45 Star, Atlantic Star with France & Germany Clasp, Canadian Volunteer Service Medal & Clasp, War Medal 1939-45, Canadian Korean War Medal, Canadian Volunteer Service Medal for Korea, United Nations Service Medal (Korea), Special Service Medal & NATO Clasp, Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal and Canadian Forces Decoration & Clasp. His service in the Canadian Armed Forces extended to 1967 at which time he retired from active duty having reached the rank of Chief Petty Officer. Subsequent to his retirement from the navy he joined the Canadian Postal Service working as a letter carrier for the next 20 years. Over the course of his second career Dad clocked many miles travelling his delivery routes and as a result developed a lifelong passion for walking which he continued in earnest until his final days. After leaving the Postal Service and never one to sit still for too long, Murph, as he was affectionately known by his friends, volunteered his services at Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Hospital helping out his fellow veterans and eventually receiving his 15 year service pin. For many years he was an avid golfer, bowler and excelled at crib and bridge, passing many an enjoyable hour trying to best his fellow players. Murph held great pride in being the recipient of the Heart of Bridge Award, an acknowledgement from his friends for his love of the game played in the spirit of fun and enjoyment. Throughout his life Dad found great comfort in his unwavering faith with his well-worn prayer book and rosary always nearby. Above all else Dad deeply cherished the time he shared with family. There was nothing more important to him and he took every opportunity to be with us, never missing a family gathering or birthday celebration, always being diligent in sending birthday cards adorned with his many stickers, and continually looking for any reason to have a party. We will miss his warmth and sense of humour and we are honoured to have been a witness to his life. He was predeceased by his brothers, Patrick, Jack, Thomas, Kenneth, Michael, and sisters Kathleen and Patricia and twin brother and sister in infancy. Those left behind to honour and cherish his memory include his wife Roberta, children Colleen, Kathleen, Janice Bohan (Mark) and Patrick (Heather), his grandchildren Peter, Erin, Stephen, Michael and Eve as well as his brothers Gus (Roma) and Danny (Carolyn) and brother-in-law Sydney Vaughan. He also leaves behind a number of nieces and nephews in both Halifax and London. We wish to extend our appreciation for the excellent support and care Dad received at Bradford Hall and during his final days on Princess Lane at Parkstone Enhanced Care. Cremation has taken place and as requested there will be no visitation. A funeral Mass in celebration of Dad's life will be held at St. Ignatius Church, 1288 Bedford Hwy on May 1 at 2 pm with reception to follow in the church hall. Family will accompany Dad on his final sail on May 3, Battle of the Atlantic Sunday, when his ashes will be carried aboard the HMCS SACKVILLE to his final resting place. Donations may be made to the Last Post Fund.

He was born on December 27, 1930, at home in Kirkhill, Nova Scotia to Ada (nee Matheson of Springhill) and Fred MacLeod. Max attended a one room school in Wharton, Nova Scotia. He joined the navy in 1950 and served active duty on board the HMCS Iroquois during the Korean War and was the recipient of several medals.

They raised two children; John Max (1957) and Sheila Patricia (1962) in Dartmouth. Max married Theresa Garbett in 1984 and became "stepdad" and "papa" to her children and grandchildren. He spent time with them dirt biking, camping, canoeing, skating, fishing, hunting, walking in the woods and trips to the beach. In later years he remained in touch with some of the kids and looked forward to letters from Melanie and Christine (Michael and Gerri Hammer), chats with Bob Hammer and visits from Tiffany Burke. Max moved to Sheet Harbour in 2000 because he enjoyed hunting, shooting and other outdoor activities like walking in the woods. The local area provided many opportunities for him to pursue these pastimes. He spent many Sundays at the gun club and enjoyed visiting the local legion and library. His dogs Buster and Rambo kept him company. Max was predeceased by his son John (2013), his brother Duncan (2002) and sister Barbara (1973). He leaves behind his daughter Sheila (John Wiebe) of Manitoba, sister Ethel Gorrill of Ontario, daughter-in-law Paula MacLeod, grandson Max MacLeod and granddaughter Mya MacLeod, all of Alberta.

ROBERTSON, Donald Charles, MD - Our Father passed away peacefully, in his 97th year, at The Veterans Wing of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre on Sunday November 1, 2015. He was predeceased by our Mother Hazel Edna Robertson in April 2001 and his younger Brother Graham David Robertson in October 1987. During his long life he always made helping others, having a positive outlook, and embracing a passion for life-long learning as allowed him to make many friends and share happy memories with them. Born in Toronto on July 28, 1918, Dad was primarily educated at Upper Canada College starting in 1930 at the Preparatory School and graduated from the Upper School in 1938 with honours. During the summers he usually spent July canoe tripping at Camp Temagami where he developed a love of the north woods and became an expert canoeist. This passion for the north led him, while at university, to join a number of friends on a substantial two month adventure down the Fraser River in British Columbia which he captured on film. The rest of his summers were spent at the family cottage on Ahmic Lake where he was an avid sailor. Following his Father's and Mother's example of careers in medicine, Dad enrolled at the University of Toronto, and graduated in June 1943 from the Faculty of Medicine as a Medical Doctor. In August 1943 he was particularly pleased to be accepted at the Hospital for Sick Children as a Junior Resident and by May 1944 had completed his initial practical requirements. In June 1944 he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy and was commissioned aboard the Castle Class Corvette HMCS Tillsonburg as the Medical Officer as well as the Flotilla Medical Officer where he made many lifelong friends. Father was fond of recounting to us the story of how he and Allan Lambert, who was the Purser at the time, had spent many hours scotch-taping dollar bills together after the crew's payroll had somehow became shredded and Alan wanted to make payroll. While on leave in Halifax, he met our Mother who was serving at the time as a nurse in the naval base, and in November 1944 they were married. At the end of the war in February 1946 Dad was accepted at the Toronto General Hospital and progressed through his interrupted residency and surgical training becoming qualified as a Senior Surgical Resident in 1949. In 1951 he took a leave of absence to train in London England in the relatively new field of Plastic Surgery and received his FRCS in 1952. Upon his return to Toronto he opened a private practice specializing in plastic surgery and in 1953 was a founding member of what became the Janes Surgical Society. Over the next 35 years as part of this unique Canadian surgical society, Father pioneered and was recognized for his contributions in such areas as facial and hand reconstructive surgery and his expert testimony in some landmark Canadian medical cases. One of his grandchildren, who was studying law at the time, was absolutely astounded when his class started to review a major case only to find that his grandfather was the primary witness and that the judge had made a lengthy referral in his summary to the excellence of his testimony. In 1986 Father retired from his private medical practice but continued to serve well into the mid- 1990's as a professor at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine. At the time he also discovered personal computers and was so interested in what they could do that he became an expert in Microsoft DOS and then Windows. This new passion extended well beyond personal computing and while he was the President of the University of Toronto Medical Alumni, he had all of their manual records and accounting switched to electronic files and systems which was something that his predecessors had decided was impractical. Up until 2014, Father would spend hours on his desktop building complicated spreadsheets and surfing the internet, thereby giving the lie to individuals who pontificated to him that seniors did not understand or use personal computers. He is survived by his son David and daughter Elizabeth, as well as his six grandchildren: Michael; Ian; Margaret; Struan; Geoffrey; and Catherine. A celebration of his life will be held at the Humphrey Funeral Home A.W. Miles – Newbigging Chapel, 1430 Bayview Avenue (south of Davisville Avenue), on Saturday November 7, 2015 at 3:00 pm with a reception to follow at the same location. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Foundation. (The National Post 04 Nov 2015)

HMCS TILLSONBURG

ROSS, Roderick Clendenning, Dr. (05 Oct 1917 - 28 Aug 2015) - passed away gracefully in Oshawa, Ontario, at the home of his son David in the company of so many of us that loved him. Rod, the son of William Alexander Ross, and Gertrude Clendenning, was born in Vineland Station. His beloved early years in the Niagara Peninsula, with his three siblings Douglas Gordon and Dorothy, gave him a lifelong love of the Ontario landscape. Rod raced through Beamsville High School, leaving at a young age for Toronto where he attended University College, at the University of Toronto in Biological and Medical Sciences, and graduated from the University of Toronto Medical School in 1940. Shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Rod entered active Naval Service completing his medical internship on board ship, serving as a Medical Officer, and as a Surgeon Lieutenant. High points of his war service were serving in the Battle of the Atlantic on the Destroyer HMCS Columbia in 1941-42; serving in the D-DAY Landing, the SS Clan Lamont in 1944; celebrating VE Day in Trafalgar Square, London in 1945, and serving the final months of the Pacific Theater in the South Pacific on the HMS Lamont. During the war years, Rod was based and commissioned out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. During an unexpected shore leave he visited a dude ranch, where the elegant Margaret Ann Jaques from Westmount, Montreal was guiding the horses. They fell deeply in love and married in January 1942, and had their first child Jennifer in December 1942. Post war, Rod returned to Montreal and completed his post graduate medical training in Pathology. He practiced at Memorial Hospital in New York City, Verdun Protestant Hospital in Montreal, and lectured at McGill University. He completed his Fellowship in Pathology in 1956. Rod and Anne's family grew with the births of Marlee in 1947, Lex in 1950. The family moved to Toronto in 1952, when Rod accepted the position of Pathologist in Chief at St. Michaels Hospital. Rod was a physician of science and vision, and the Department of Pathology flourished under his guidance for the next 28 years becoming a center of excellence in research, academics and practice. Known to his students as "Rocket Rod", Rod taught Pathology at U of T and became the Coroner for the City of Toronto, practicing forensics for many years. Rod and Anne's family was completed in 1953 with the birth of David. In the mid 1950's Rod bought 100 acres of rolling grassland in the Hockley Valley. This would become Rowanwood, the family's spiritual home. There were tree plantings, barn raising, house construction, family reunions and a family wedding. Rod and Anne's generous welcoming was legendary, and their wide extended families celebrated at "The Farm". Rod, inspired by his war years on the ocean became an avid sailor, racing his Lightning and Shark at the RCYC, Toronto. Following his retirement from SMH, in 1980 Rod and Anne moved permanently to Rowanwood. Summers were full of grandchildren, the swimming pool, and the new telescope. They continued to travel the world widely and loved their visits with each one of their children's families. After his beloved Anne passed in 1997, Rod reconnected with an old friend, Joan Winters. They spent 10 years together, eventually marrying. Rod spent his final years of his long life at Whitecliff Terrace Residence in Oshawa, where he was beloved by all, as "The Singer". Rod conducted his life with grace and authority, with a quick mind, and a courtesy based in kindness. He will be missed immeasurably by his surviving family: Children: Jennifer (Jacques), Marlee (Joost), Lex (Puang), David (Colleen); Grandchildren: Leslie, Jeanine, Anne, Lisa, Mike, Myfanwy, Alexander, Sarah, Heather, Kevin (deceased), Jennie, Shannon, and Megan. Great Grandchildren: Alize, Daphne, Julien, Luanna, Xander, Isis, Ezra, Liam and Daniel. Visitation will be held at Oshawa Funeral Home, 847 King Street West on Sunday, September 6th from 12:00 noon until time of Service of Remembrance in the Chapel at 1:00 p.m. Private interment will take place at Mount Pleasant. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to The Nature Conservancy of Canada would be appreciated.

'Nostalgic Moments of a Lifetime in Paradise.' He joined coastal army defense forces in 1939, transferring in 1941 to the navy. Bill was stationed in Quebec during the war where in 1944 he married his beloved Marjorie (Laudman) who died in 1985. In his book 'The Underdog and Letters from Heaven,' Bill describes with humour his navy life on both coasts, including aboard HMCS Cougar. After the war Bill built a number of fine homes, before being a draughtsman at the Victoria Dockyard. He and Marjorie loved their many road trips with Cecilie and documented their travels, especially to Italy and the U.K. In 1986, Bill and Cecilie revisited Europe in a long trip chronicled in Bill's 'Pilgrimage by Candlelight.' In spite of his exemplary military service, Bill was a true man of peace, his later years producing many poems promoting peace, and love of all living things. As a father he was love itself. Life member of the ESU of Canada, long-time member of the Royal Commonwealth Society, Bill supported many organizations benefiting animals and nature. He was proud of his grandfather Charles Henry Lugrin, first mayor of Esquimalt and editor for years of the Victoria Colonist, and of his mother Ann Lugrin's book 'Pioneer Women of Vancouver Island' and her many other writings.

TUDOR, David T., M.M.M, CD, LCdr -  David was born in Edmonton Alberta on August 21, 1926 and quietly passed away at Broadmead Lodge in Victoria on July 2, 2008, leaving us with the fullest memories of life and family. David leaves behind his wife of 55 years Helen, son Keith (Janet) and daughter Elizabeth (Murray) and beloved grandchildren Caitlin, Brenna, Ian and Sarah. David's naval career spanned a period of 42 years that included the D Day invasion as a 17 year old boy seaman in the Royal Navy on board HMS Frobisher". David's love for the sea was found in submarines. His submarine career started in the Royal Navy and he served on T", A" and S" boats and ended in the RCN serving on HMCS Grilse" and Ojibwa" based out of Halifax in the late 70's. David was especially proud to be a qualified submariner within the RN, RCN and USN. He was awarded the Order of Military Merit in 1976 and retired from the RCN in 1980. The very close friendships forged during these years have followed both he and Helen all of their lives. David was an avid golfer and gardener. A better day could not be spent either playing a round with good friends at Glen Meadows or gardening at the Dean Park home. Early years spent on the family farm in Wales set the tone for his love and respect for animals. Throughout his life there were always dogs; with some of the greatest pleasures spent in the later years with Tia and Taz. David will be deeply missed by his friends and family for his sense of humour, friendship and convictions. The family would like to express their grateful appreciation to all the staff at Broadmead Lodge for their compassionate care. By request there shall be no service, however a celebration of David's life will be held Thursday July 31st from 2 to 4pm at the Meadows, 10520 McDonald Park Rd. in Sidney.

WATSON, Michael Jay - age 51, of East Gore, passed away at home on December 3, 2015. Born on July 22, 1964 in Cambridge, Ont., he was a son of Douglas and the late Leona (Johnson) Watson. Mike served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 22 years as a Master Seaman on both ship and submarine. After his retirement, he was an active and high-profile advocate for benefits for Canadian Armed Forces members with ALS, which he lived with for 12 years. Mike loved camping, particularly in Nova Scotia’s provincial parks, often volunteering as campground host. He enjoyed woodworking in his home workshop. A true family man, Mike’s proudest accomplishment would have to be his two daughters, Michelle and Kimberley. Brenda, his loving wife of 23 years, was his soulmate and support. Mike was one hell of a guy, who gave ALS a huge kick in the ass and taught the rest of us about strength, determination, and not allowing a disease or condition to control us completely. He lived with it, but it did not define him – he defined it. Mike is survived by his wife, Brenda (Lewis) Watson; daughters, Michelle (Johnathan Wile), and Kimberley (Justin Burns); and brothers, Charles, Glenn, and Mark. Cremation has taken place, with no visitation or service by request. Everyone is invited to come share their memories of Mike at an Open House on Tuesday, December 8 from 2-6pm at his home at 2751 Hwy 202, East Gore.

He signed up to go to the Pacific theatre of WWII but never got there as the war was declared over in August of that year. Roy stayed on with the Navy, aboard various ships (including HMCS Nootka) until 1948, but always joked that the Navy still owed him two weeks vacation pay for the year he was to be on active duty overseas. His artistic ability led him to forge a career in advertising, starting as an Artist for Eaton's catalogue in 1950. In 1960, Roy joined the team at Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) Canada Inc., where he started as their Advertising Manager and then became Corporate and Commercial Relations Manager before retiring in 1988. Roy is lovingly remembered by his family as a loyal, hardworking father and husband who had a sparkling, genteel wit, droll sense of humour and a delightful elegance of mind. He loved the English language, with all its nuances and was an ardent student of history, always searching for and researching facts about Canada and the world. His quest for knowledge led him to join Living and Learning in Retirement at Glendon Campus, for over 15 years where he and Jane enjoyed some wonderful friendships. He loved this country with all his heart and always proudly sported a lapel pin with the Canadian Maple Leaf during his many trips abroad with Jane, often with Elder Hostel Canada. Roy will be missed by the many people, both family and friends, whose lives he touched through his simple acts of grace and love. The family would like to thank the staff at Southlake Village, 5 West for their warm and caring attitude towards Dad, especially Anke, Brian, Isobel and Lynn, who helped Dad maintain his grace and sense of humour right to the end.

He left the company on leave to proudly serve in the Navy during WWII as a wireless operator on the HMCS Moose. On his return from the War, he continued his career with Consolidated Press, which was purchased by Southam Printing which then later became Southam-Murray Printing. Throughout his long successful career he held many titles including Sales Manager, Production Manager and General Manager. He always approached his work with enthusiasm and innovation and implemented many leading edge technologies in the rapidly evolving printing industry. Bert spent his entire life living in the "Beach", offering him the opportunity to be near the water and boardwalk he so dearly cherished. Remarkably, he lived independently at his home until early this year, shy a couple weeks of his 92nd birthday. You often found Bert, sitting on the veranda, reading or listening to classical music. He was a kind man who will always be remembered for his intelligence, generosity, great story telling, warmth and true family values. Bert's most valuable treasure in life was his family of which he was very proud. This wonderful patriarch will never be forgotten and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Cremation has taken place. A Memorial service, in celebration of his life, will be held at St. Aidan's Anglican Church on Saturday, April 13th at 1 p.m. followed by beverages and a light lunch.

He is also mourned by his sister Dorothy Halliburton of Edinburgh and his nephew and nieces in Scotland and Switzerland and by his sisters-in-law Vivi Price of Toronto, Giselle Coulombe and Tip Guindon along with brother-in- law Paul Guindon (Beth) of Sturgeon Falls, ON. With his two children living on the west coast, he cherished opportunities to get together. A highlight one year was to travel with Norman in Peru and one January participating with Norman and Petra in the Polar swim in English Bay which proved to be a memorable, and indeed invigorating family outing. On retirement he enjoyed golf, landscape painting, sailing, playing the piano, cooking and exercising his private pilot's license out of Rockcliffe Flying Club and his particular interest, studying land economics.
