he was given the honorary name Mshkikiiwnini (Indian Doctor).
A skilled physician, he will be remembered for his strong moral

his career and personal life, Percy was guided by his Christian
faith, especially during the last difficult days of his illness
and he remained true to himself determined, strong and willing
to do the work to survive. He had great love for his family and

Gordon Kenneth
FLEMING/FLEMMING
By Jack FORTIN
Thursday,
February 13, 2003, Page A30
Musician, husband, father. Born August 3, 1931, in Winnipeg.
Died August 31, 2002, in Scarborough, Ontario, following a stroke,
aged 71.
Gordie FLEMING/FLEMMING was a remarkable music talent, known internationally
as a master of the accordion, especially in the jazz idiom. He
was a life member of Local 149 of the Toronto Musicians' Association.
In show-business vernacular, Gordie was "born in a trunk." He
began playing accordion when his older brother gave him lessons.
His musical ability was such that he began performing publicly
at the age of five. His schoolteachers often saw him being whisked
away in a taxi to perform at theatres and radio stations in Winnipeg.
By the age of 10, he was a working member of various bands in
that city.
In 1949, Gordie lost his accordion in a fire at a Winnipeg hotel.
With the insurance money, he headed for the bright lights of
Montreal where he soon became an important part of that city's
musical life. His accordion ability was complemented by the fact
that he was also a gifted arranger and composer.
He had a marvellous ability to improvise and could string out
complex bebop lines, leaving his listeners in awe. He often slipped
a jazz phrase into ballads or commercial tunes, confirming that
jazz was indeed his first love.
One of Montreal's busiest musicians, he wrote for local orchestras,
shows, radio and television. He had perfect pitch and often wrote
without reference to a keyboard. He was at home in every type
of music from classics to jazz. For several years, he worked
at the National Film Board as a composer and musician.
In Montreal, Gordie performed with many show business headliners:
there was a wealth of home-grown talent in Montreal, such as
Oscar PETERSON and Maynard
FERGUSON, as well as other jazz musicians
who were beginning to be noticed.
Gordie had said that when when he first heard bebop it was like
entering another world. As his career indicates, he had no trouble
in that world. He worked with many personalities including: Charlie
PARKER, Mel
TORMÉ, Hank
SNOW, Lena
HORNE, Englebert
HUMPERDINCK,
Dennis DAY, Gordon
MacRAE, Cab
CALLOWAY, Nat King
COLE, Cat
STEVENS,
Rich LITTLE, Billy
ECKSTEIN, Pee Wee
HUNT, Arthur
GODFREY and
Buddy DEFRANCO.
He also performed with Tommy
AMBROSE,
Allan
MILLS, Wally
KOSTER,
Tommy HUNTER,
Bert
NIOSI, Wayne and Shuster, Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation jazz shows with Al
BACULIS, and many other Canadian
jazz musicians.
On Montreal's French music scene, Gordie performed on radio and
television with Emile
GENEST, Ti-Jean
CARIGNAN,
André
GAGNON
and Ginette
RENO. He was a featured soloist with the Montreal
Symphony Orchestra on several occasions.
Internationally, Gordie toured France in 1952 and performed with
Edith PIAF and Tino
ROSSI. He had the honour to perform for former
prime minister Pierre Elliot
TRUDEAU at a Commonwealth Conference.
He participated with other top Canadian musicians in a Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation tour to entertain Canadian and the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization troops in Europe in 1952 and 1968.
For me, a memorable experience was playing in a group with Gordie
for several winters in Florida. A popular member of the Panama
City Beach family of musicians, Gordie looked forward to his
winter trek south. Many of the American musicians will miss him,
as will the many snowbirds who looked forward to hearing him
each year.
His extensive repertoire allowed Gordie to author a book called
Music of the World, in which he wrote the music to 280 songs
from more than 30 countries.
Gordie leaves his wife of 47 years, Joanne, and seven children.
Jack FORTIN is Gordie's friend.

Virtuoso possessed 'nerves of steel'
Ontario trumpeter and music professor renowned for his recordings
and his mentoring
By Sol CHROM
Friday,
January 3, 2003, Page R11
He could make his trumpet sing like an angel, but he was not
above taking a hacksaw to it. When Erik
SCHULTZ died of cancer
last month at the age of 50, Canadian music lost a virtuoso player,
a teacher and mentor, a prolific recording and performing artist,
and a man renowned among colleagues as a consummate professional.
A member of the music faculty at the University of Western Ontario,
Prof. SCHULTZ also made several concert tours of Europe and founded
an independent recording label for Canadian musicians. He held
positions with Canadian orchestras in Calgary, Hamilton, London,
Ontario, Toronto, and Windsor, Ontario He also established an
international reputation with an extensive repertoire of recordings
of his own, specializing in music of the Baroque period.
Prof. SCHULTZ's musicianship and professionalism were noted by
numerous colleagues, both in academia and in the performing arts.
Canadian
Broadcasting
Corporation broadcaster Keith
HORNER, who
worked on several recordings and radio programs with him, recalled
his "bright, clear, ringing tone." Mr.
HORNER praised Prof.
SCHULTZ
for his expertise with the piccolo trumpet, which he described
as a very difficult instrument to master.
"It requires nerves of steel," he said. "With Erik, you didn't
hear the work in it. He made it sound effortless -- and that
was all smoke and mirrors, because it takes a great deal of physical
effort."
Prof. SCHULTZ may have been known best for a series of albums
he recorded with organist Jan
OVERDUIN.
The recordings were made
in Kitchener, Ontario, and
in Germany, and were issued both on
vinyl and on compact disc. The two musicians first teamed up
in Europe, where they were both touring in the mid-1980s, setting
the stage for a collaboration that lasted until Prof.
SCHULTZ's
death.
In an interview from Waterloo, Ontario, Prof.
OVERDUIN recalled
his colleague as an enthusiastic participant in all kinds of
musical events, both amateur and professional. "He would just
transform the whole experience," Prof.
OVERDUIN said. "There
were times when I just stood in awe -- he'd be communicating
with the audience on a level that was just beyond us."
Prof. OVERDUIN also cited his friend's commitment to musicianship,
often displayed under rather trying circumstances. On one European
tour, a delayed flight to Portugal saw them arrive in Lisbon
with very little time to prepare for a concert. The difficulty
was heightened by the fact that both musicians had gotten quite
sick and had to find a doctor in Lisbon who could prescribe antibiotics.
And many performances in Europe, Prof.
OVERDUIN said, were staged
in old churches wherein the temperature or tuning of the organ
posed their own special challenges. Since the organs couldn't
be moved or modified, Prof.
SCHULTZ would have to make adjustments
to the pitch of his trumpet. Frequently this would require him
to carry extra mouthpieces or lengths of tubing, but even that
wasn't always enough.
"One day he had to get a hacksaw and physically saw out a piece
of the trumpet," Prof.
OVERDUIN recalled. "These were historic
organs -- I would have a wonderful time, but it could be difficult
too. [Sometimes] they would have weird historical temperaments,
but he would adjust immediately."
Prof. SCHULTZ's commitment to music extended beyond his own career,
however. In 1993, he and his father started
IBS
Recordings, a
label for independent Canadian artists, eventually releasing
more than three dozen titles. Flutist Fiona
WILKINSON, one of
Prof. SCHULTZ's colleagues at University of Western Ontario,
recorded for the label as a member of the Aeolian Winds, and
praised him for his generosity. Having established his own international
recording career with the German label
EBS, she said, he used
IBS to support and nurture the initial careers of Canadian musicians.
"He would interview and audition artists and take on projects
that he felt deserved to be known."
"He positioned it as a discovery label," Mr.
HORNER said. "He
was ambitious -- he was looking for a recording studio so that
he could have some control over sound quality."
Prof. WILKINSON also praised Prof.
SCHULTZ for his collegiality.
He raised the bar for the people he worked with, she said, acting
as a role model for students and colleagues. "He had incredibly
high standards. Everything he touched had to meet them."
But Prof. WILKINSON also remembered Prof.
SCHULTZ for his sense
of humour, and the real-world experience he brought to his teaching
and academic work. "He knew what it was like to be 'out there,'
" she said, "and he brought that back to the students."
Even with his illness, Prof.
SCHULTZ never lost his enthusiasm
for performing.
"He lost his voice, and couldn't talk on the phone, but he could
still play," Prof.
OVERDUIN recalled, noting that Prof.
SCHULTZ
still played at convocations last June. "It hurts me to think
we'll never play again."
Erik SCHULTZ leaves his wife
Kelly, his children Daniel, David
and Nicole, and two sisters.

August 29, 1952; died in London, Ontario, December 1, 2002.
