MacRAE, John Ross
Died peacefully on April 26, 2003 at North York General Hospital after a brief illness. He was 84. Ross was born in Winnipeg in 1918, and later moved to Regina when his father, D.B. MacRAE, became editor of the Regina Leader-Post. Ross was a musical prodigy, learning the violin, trumpet and piano, and even during the Depression as a teenager he earned money as a classical violin performer and with a swing band he started. He worked as an announcer at CKCK radio in Regina, then briefly in radio after moving to Toronto before getting a job at the Cockfield-Brown advertising agency, where he remained until his retirement in 1978. At Cockfield, Ross was one of the pioneers in television advertising, and with old friend Brian HAWKINS, created the Expo 67 commercials that became television works of art. When he retired he was a vice-president and in charge of the agency's outstanding radio and television unit. But active life didn't end then. For many years Ross played violin with the semi-professional North York Symphony Orchestra, and later with the East York Symphony (now part of Orchestra Toronto), and with a string quartet. He was also an ardent golfer right to the end of his life, and rarely missed the annual Maxville Highland Games in Glengarry County, where his family's ancestors first settled in Canada in the early 1800s. Above all, Ross had a love of life and a sense of humour backed by an apparently endless fund of stories that endeared him to everyone he met. He will be greatly missed by his sons, Paul and Scott (Denise), their mother Phyllis, daughter-in-law Sherry BRYDSON, and grandchildren David, Kevin, Sean, Gaye, Duncan, Cameron and Holly; by nephew Bruce MacDOUGALL (Lucy WAVERMAN) and their children, Alexander, Emma, Katie and Robyn; by the family of Ross's sister Isobel LEES who, with sisters Margaret and Betty, predeceased him; by the family of Eunice McGILLIS, Ross's second wife, who predeceased him; by his good friend Mary MacMILLAN and her family; and by Ross's many Friends, former co-workers, and fellow golfers and musicians. The family has only thanks and praise for the work of the doctors, nurses and staff at North York General Hospital, who cared for Ross during and after his abdominal surgery. A memorial will be held in Toronto on Saturday, May 24, at 5 p.m. at The Elmwood Terrace Room, fourth floor, 18 Elm Street. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Orchestra Toronto and/or the North York General Hospital.

Bureaucrat 'invaluable' to ministers
Analyst was a key negotiator in talks that led to the formation of the World Trade Organization in 1995
By Bill GLADSTONE Special to The Globe and Mail Saturday, June 7, 2003 - Page F11
Gerry SHANNON could have been a professional hockey player like his father, but decided instead to play in a much bigger arena.
Mr. SHANNON went on to become a top career public servant who helped to formulate the federal government's policies on international trade. At one time, he held the No. 2 posting in the Canadian embassy in Washington and was a key negotiator in the talks known as the Uruguay Round, which led to the formation of the World Trade Organization in 1995.
Mr. SHANNON, who died recently in Vancouver at the age of 67, is remembered as a fair, tough and passionate trade-policy analyst who was a trusted adviser to ministers in the successive cabinets of Pierre TRUDEAU and Brian MULRONEY in the 1980s.
"Gerry was a larger-than-life character," said Peter SUTHERLAND, a former director-general of the World Trade Organization. "He played a crucial role in the conclusion of the Uruguay Round. He had a belief in the multilateral system that he combined with an intense Canadian patriotism. His personality was also a factor in bringing peaceful resolution to difficult negotiations."
"He was a straightforward guy -- you always knew where you stood with him," said Marc Lalonde, a former Liberal finance minister. "He was a man with a very solid judgment. He was a good team player in that regard, the kind of guy you would want to have as a senior public servant."
Born in Ottawa in 1935, Mr. SHANNON received an early lesson from his father -- hockey player Jerry SHANNON, who played for the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins and other National Hockey League teams -- on the necessity of appearing strong, no matter what. Once, after a puck knocked out the boy's two front teeth, his father shouted, "Get up, son, shake it off!" Young Gerry did so and stayed in the game.
The same spirit of toughness also probably helped him cope with the death of his mother when he was 10.
Despite an offer to try out for the Bruins, Mr. SHANNON took his father's advice and went to university. Graduating from Carleton University's school of journalism, he worked as a reporter for the Sudbury Star for several years before lifting his sights once again. He wrote a foreign-service exam and was accepted as a diplomat in 1963. "He realized that being a small-town reporter was great and he enjoyed it, but he wanted to be involved in the big world," said his wife, Anne Park SHANNON.
His first posting was in Washington, where, despite any formal training as an economist, he handled matters of trade and economic policy. "He was good at pursuing Canadian interests with the Americans. They liked him," Ms. Park SHANNON said. "He was very affable and very good at just getting to the essence of things."
He also served as Canada's senior foreign affairs representative in Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia, and as ambassador to Korea, one of Canada's youngest ambassadors at the time.
In the mid-1970s, at the height of the Trudeau era, he became director of commercial policy for the department of external affairs. After several years, he returned to Washington as the embassy's second-in-command at a time when Canada's national energy program generated heated discussions.
Recalled to Ottawa about 1982, he became the assistant deputy minister of finance for the Liberals, then deputy minister of international trade for the Progressive Conservatives. In these capacities, he advised Mr. LALONDE and Tory ministers Michael WILSON and Barbara McDOUGALL.
"He was a very professional public servant, he had a sense of professionalism, he had a very good mind, he was tough, and he understood very well the role of the senior public servant, " Ms. McDOUGALL said. "He never tried to be the minister and he was a straight shooter, which many of us appreciated when we realized that this was the exception and not the rule.
"I worked with a lot of great public servants, but he was certainly right up at the top," she said.
Anne Marie DOYLE, who worked extensively with Mr. SHANNON in various government departments, recalls that he would go out on a limb for employees when he thought that they were in the right, and he possessed "iron in his spine" that made his superiors respect him as steadfast and trustworthy.
"He had this phenomenal gift -- the ability to take a very complex problem, see to its core and express it in just two or three very articulate sentences so that someone like a minister or prime minister would have found him just invaluable," she said. "They would have his complex briefing and he would say, 'Well, Minister, what it boils down to is just this, ' and it would be just brilliant."
Mr. SHANNON was "one of the giants of Canadian trade policy of the '80s and '90s," said Bill DYMOND, executive director of the Centre for Trade Policy and Law at Carleton University. "The politicians trusted him because he was blunt, honest and loyal to the government."
Known for his enthusiasm and for being indefatigable on the job, Mr. SHANNON performed an astonishing array of official duties while in Geneva from 1989 to 1995. As Canada's chief negotiator for the Uruguay Round, he developed a binding dispute-settlement system that was hailed as a major breakthrough. He was Canada's first ambassador to the World Trade Organization as he had been to its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
As an occasional ambassador to the United Nations, he gave to its committee on disarmament the " SHANNON mandate," a significant negotiating protocol still in use today.
Mr. SHANNON was known as a loyal defender of Canadian interests. Soon after leaving government in 1995 to work as an international trade policy consultant, he wrote an article for The Globe and Mail on Canada's seemingly never-ending softwood-lumber dispute with the United States.
"We always get roughed up in dealing alone with the Americans on issues they deem to be critical to them," he observed. "They simply have too many guns and they persevere until they win."
Mr. SHANNON enjoyed hiking, gardening, opera, travelling, dogs, crossword puzzles and playing hockey.
He and his wife moved from Ottawa to Victoria about a year ago with the intent of retiring there. He was sick only a few weeks before he died on April 26.
He leaves his wife, Anne Park SHANNON, and sons Michael and Steven from a previous marriage. He also leaves a sister, Carol SCHWARZ, of Ottawa.

Robert John Alexander McDOUGALL
By Lori McDOUGALL, Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - Page A22
Husband, father, brother, friend. Born April 21, 1940, near Alma, Ontario. Died September 23, in Mississauga, Ontario, of heart failure, aged 63.
There's an expression that goes: "There aren't any strangers in the world, just Friends you haven't met yet." Bob couldn't have agreed more. He and his wife, Sherry, once went on a trip to Britain. They were riding home one evening on the London Underground when he struck up a conversation with a distinguished-looking gentleman next to him. "Oh, you live in Canada," the man said. "Can you swim there?" Bob laughed. "No, really, I'd like to visit, but how long would it take to swim across the Atlantic and down the Saint Lawrence?" Dad paused, then roared with laughter. He'd been chatting for the previous 20 minutes to a charming, well-dressed lunatic. This was vintage Bob -- he couldn't resist a chance to get to know just about everyone.
Bob was born to Hugh McDOUGALL and Marie LONGMAN, a farmer and a teacher who ran a lively household on the 10th concession of Peel county in Ontario. Bob, the fifth of seven children, was known as the family peacemaker -- and prankster. One Halloween, a teenaged Bob found himself sprawled face-down on a friend's kitchen table, having buckshot picked out of his back. It seems a local farmer was none too appreciative of Bob and his mates tipping over his outhouse, and had hired some local gunslingers from Guelph to defend his turf. The case raged on in local court for months.
Bob was student president at Drayton High School and went on to have a successful career in marketing for the Royal Bank of Canada, where he once topped the country in sales. Bob's career grew as his circle of banking Friends grew. He loved a drink and a good laugh, and the parties were legendary, from ice-fishing trips to Grey Cup weekends to tailgate parties at Rich Stadium, where he'd held season's tickets for the Buffalo Bills since the 1970s. Bob's loyalty to the Bills ran deep: "Who can say if O.J.'s guilty?"
In 1986, Bob developed hairy-cell leukemia and endured several years of poor health. He won the battle in the end -- thanks largely to his participation in a drug trial in California in 1990 -- but his health remained fragile and he took early retirement from the bank in 1994.
Retirement gave Bob a ticket to travel. His wanderlust had started young: In high school, he and some Friends jumped in the car and drove straight to Acapulco. For a bunch of rural Ontario farm boys in the 1950s, this was high adventure.
In recent years, Bob ventured to China, Thailand, India, Nepal, and Islay, Scotland, where he launched a door-knocking campaign to find long-lost relatives. No one could quite place him, but the quest delighted the locals, who still send Christmas cards to "Cousin Bob."
Throughout his travels, Bob had a keen eye for opportunity. He was an entrepreneur at heart, talking up a glorious stream of ideas with the enthusiasm of a born salesman. A chance meeting with a Japanese bureaucrat in Nepal once had him thinking about the idea of distributing used Japanese bicycles in Canada. Where others rolled their eyes, Bob saw opportunity.
Curiosity and enthusiasm made him an interesting character, but it was his generosity that really set him apart. When daughter Lori started her first job in Toronto, he sent a dozen red roses to her office, both embarrassing and delighting her. When Sherry turned 50, he spent months crafting plans for a blow-out party, complete with a This-Is-Your-Life presentation. For this was the kind of man Bob was -- loyal, full of mischief, with a surprise or two up his sleeve.
Lori is Bob McDOUGALL's daughter.
