WHITMORE,
Neil
Maclean
(July 26, 1934-March 13, 2005)
We are deeply saddened to announce that Neil passed away on Sunday,
March 13th, 2005, after a courageous 9 month battle with cancer.
Neil leaves behind his beloved wife and best friend Evelyn, his
son Mark, Mark's wife Patty and grandchildren Grant, Erika and
Elaine. He was predeceased by his daughter Barbara in June, 1977.
He is survived by his siblings Don (Florence), Alex (Lonnie),
Edna, Robert (Linda) and many nephews and nieces. Neil was a
dedicated Sears Canada employee for 35 years, working in Toronto,
Calgary and Moose Jaw, where he met Evelyn in 1955. Retirement
in 1991 only meant that the schedule got busier, as Neil and
Evelyn enjoyed many years together playing golf at Markham, skiing
with the Love-To-Ski club, traveling in and outside of Canada,
working on their farm at Dundalk and playing hide-and-seek with
their grandchildren. The Kiwanis Club was an important part of
his life, where he was a charter member. Neil also enjoyed wood
working, tennis, stamp collecting (life time member of American
Philatelic Society) and acting as a business advisor to Simpson
Seeds. Neil's respect for all was evident in the way he always
had a smile for everyone and an interest in what they were doing.
This philosophy has inspired us and he will live in our hearts
forever. Many thanks go to the staff at Sunnybrook, especially
the Palliative Care Unit for their great care and support over
the past 9 months. We are planning a memorial on Saturday, April
9th at 1 pm at the Donway Covenant Church (230 The Donway West,
north of Lawrence, west of Don Mills). Donations to the Palliative
Care Unit at Sunnybrook Hospital or Canadian Cancer Society would
be greatly appreciated.

WHITNEY,
Gordon
Thomas
(February 13, 1916-December 10, 2005)
It is with great sadness, but equal pride for a life well lived,
that his children announce his passing following a brief period
of ill health. Gordon began his journey on a blustery February
day in the village of Whitneyville, New Brunswick. He was the
ninth child of Hiram and Ethel
WHITNEY.
From his humble farming
roots, he lived a richly varied and travelled life. Gordon took
pride in many things and these were all recently documented in
his published and widely read memoirs. He enjoyed a long, successful
and much storied career with The Ford Motor Company, including
a well-remembered lunch with Henry Ford. His tenure included
a two-year assignment in India during World War 2, managing a
parts depot for Ford war vehicles. He was an active member of
the Baptist Church his entire life, lending his many business
skills to a variety of committees. He was a great father, a loving
and loyal husband to his dear Roberta (Bertie, who passed away
in 1994), and a wonderful friend to countless dozens. His kind
and gentle spirit will be greatly missed by his children and
grandchildren: Kathryn and Ron
DUKE and their children Scott
and Laura; Janet and her son Erick; Stephen and Christine and
their children Lauren and Evan. Gordon will also be very much
missed by his 'little' sister Ruth
HAMILTON, favourite nephews
Gary and Ron
WHITNEY and many others. Our Dad will be most fondly
remembered for his remarkable generosity and thoughtfulness.
The baskets of Red Haven peaches that he delivered each August
to so many will be greatly missed. Many are already enjoying
their Christmas fruitcakes. Gordon always said he wanted to go
out with his boots on and he surely did so, having enjoyed a
seven day Alaskan cruise with his entire family in July and a
few weeks later attending and speaking eloquently at his brother
Edward's memorial service in Grand Marais, Minnesota. His 2005
spotlessly clean Lincoln Town Car has been idle only a few weeks.
We invite all who knew Gordon to celebrate his life and loves:
Please visit with his family at Skinner and Middlebrook, 128 Lakeshore
Road East, Mississauga (west of Hurontario), on Tuesday, December
13 from 2-4 p.m. or 7-9 p.m. A Service of Remembrance will be
held on Wednesday, December 14 at 2 p.m., Lorne Park Baptist
Church, 1500 Indian Road, Mississauga. For those who may wish
to make a donation in Gordon's memory, donations gratefully appreciated
to the Salvation Army or Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
