STEVENS,
Fred▼
Peacefully▼ on March 3rd, 2005 at the age of 92, Fred
STEVENS
passed away in Strathroy, Ontario. Born in Carmen, Manitoba in
1912, Fred was the youngest
son of the Reverend Dr. Fred G. and Frances
STEVENS.
His childhood years were divided between Winnipeg's
Banning Street and the family home at the United Church mission,
Fisher River Cree Nation in Manitoba's Interlake region. A student
of the Cree language, Dad spent much of his early adult life
in Northern Manitoba, at various times a freight driver, school
teacher and lay minister in communities including Oxford House,
God's Lake and Cross Lake. He married his beloved Helen in 1939
and they settled in Cross Lake, he as a minister and she as the
community field nurse. In 1942, Mom and Dad left the bush, Dad
joined the Canadian Army and served here and abroad resettling
Canadian soldiers into civilian life. With skills developed in
the Army and a young family to support, Dad joined the Abitibi
Pulp and Paper Company as a personnel manager and labour negotiator.
His 30 year career with Abitibi took him to Sault Ste. Marie
and Toronto, where he retired in 1977. Son, Charlie was born
in 1942, followed by a daughter, Danielle, in 1945. With two
children almost grown, Dad embarked upon a second round of fatherhood
with the birth of another daughter, Noreen, in 1962. In their
senior years Mom and Dad settled in the S.W. Ontario community
of Strathroy where they enjoyed many happy years of retirement.
Dad was a gentle man; smart, kind, funny, a man of integrity
and unshakable faith; a good husband, father and worker; a good
man. His was a long life, well lived.
Dad is survived by his wife of 65 years, Helen, children Charlie
(Nancy), Danielle (Don) and Noreen (Jill), grandchildren, Mike
(Pilar), Eric (Crystal), Ashley, Savannah and Dillon. He was
predeceased by his parents and six siblings. A memorial service
will be held at the Denning Bros. Funeral Home, 32 Metcalfe St.
West in Strathroy on Monday, March 7th, 2005 at 2 pm with Rev.

by the family. A tree will be planted as a living memorial to
Fred.

Isaac▲▼ - Dispatch:
By Jordan PRESS,
Saturday,

Isaac Moses
PFAFF didn't wave placards to further the causes
he was passionate about -- he used his pen. "He was a humanitarian,"
says his daughter, Desiree
REINSALU. "
But he did it in a really
non-militant manner."
Born
June 13, 1920, in Ladysmith, South Africa, Mr.
PFAFF began
writing anti-apartheid-themed plays at the age of 18 in English,
Dutch and German, often using the pen name Paul Roubaix.
"There was not the freedom of speech there is now" in South Africa,
Mrs. REINSALU says. "Most writers who had a political conscience
wrote under a pseudonym."
When Mr. PFAFF toured South Africa with his theatre company,
he refused to perform in front of segregated crowds. As president
of the South African arts union, he worked to end apartheid with
a group that included Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
He has written more than a dozen plays for the theatre, three
novels and several short stories and radio plays, most of them
about human rights and compassion.
In May of 1964, Mr.
PFAFF's politically charged writing forced
him to flee South Africa with his wife Juanita and their children
Desiree and Howard. They left their home with all their furniture
inside.
In Canada, he produced many plays as a high-school teacher at
Oakwood Collegiate Institute and Thornhill Secondary School.
One student sent flowers and a letter to the funeral, saying
Mr. PFAFF helped her to her current career as a lawyer for the
underprivileged, Mrs.
REINSALU says.
Mr. PFAFF died February 4 due to complications from severe asthma.
