McCUTCHEON,
Ann
Liisa
passed away Sunday, February 6, 2005 after a valiantly fought
battle with cancer. Born February 19, 1968, beloved daughter
of Dave and Irene, she will be deeply missed by her brothers
George (and Ingrid), Matt (and Cathy), Tim (and Kelly), her nephews
Gabriel, Carmine, Northrop, Keihgan, Luke, her niece Hannah,
relatives in Canada, the United States, and Finland, and her
devoted Friends and colleagues.
Ann inspired all who know her with her courage, optimism, humour,
love, and grace. She never gave up, and she encouraged this same
positive attitude from those around her.
Ann received her B.A. from University of British Columbia where
she was sorority president. In 1999, she joined the Credential
and Ethical Funds family. She devoted herself to her job and
to the people she worked with as Client Relations Manager. She
was a leader and friend to many.
Ann was a lifelong lover of the arts. In her youth, she read
voraciously and took piano and ballet lessons. As a young adult,
she performed in musicals and loved to travel. In her prime,
she was a brilliant writer and lent her angelic soprano voice
to the Gallery Singers, an early music choir.
Ann will be fondly remembered for her stylish shoes and matching
handbags, and for her deep affection for chocolate. On a Sunday
afternoon, she could be found walking the seawall with Friends
or strolling through Granville Island.
Among her many volunteer activities, Ann enlisted Friends and
colleagues to run in the Canadian Cancer Society's annual Relay
for Life. "Annie's Bananies" was the top fundraising team in
2004, with a contribution of more than $22,000. Four "Bananies"
teams from Credential and Ethical Funds, will run in this year's
Relay for Life in memory of Ann.
Though tears of sadness flow today, Ann's memory will endure
in the hearts of those who knew her. Her contagious smile and
her zest for life will continue to inspire us to live our lives
to the fullest and to express our affection for each other. That
will be her legacy. Truly, the world has lost one of the best.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian
Cancer Society (register donations for Annie's relay teams online
through links at www.bc.cancer.ca Relay for Life 2005) or to
the Centre for Integrated Healing, Suite 200, 1330 West 8th Avenue,
Vancouver, V6H 4A6. Your donations are very much appreciated.
Thanks to the healthcare professionals at the British Columbia
Cancer Agency, the Spine Unit at V.G.H., the G.F. Strong Rehab
Centre and the Palliative Care Unit at V.G.H. Ann wrote down
all your names in order to remember and give thanks for the wonderful
care.
A memorial service will be held on Ann's birthday, February 19th,
at 11 am at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 1440 West 12th Avenue
(at Hemlock), Vancouver, and a celebration of Ann's life will
be held later in the day, from 6 to 11 pm at the False Creek
Community Centre, 1318 Cartwright Street, Vancouver.

Dottie WILSON
By David WILSON,
Friday,
November 25, 2005, Page A24
Hospice pioneer, stepmother, wife. Born September 16, 1923, in
Aurora, Ontario Died June 1 in Bayside, New York of heart failure,
aged 81.
Dottie WILSON fervently believed that the traditional practice
of forcing terminally ill patients through a gauntlet of pain
in their process of dying, in the unrealistic, faint hope of
miraculous recovery was morally indefensible, unnecessary and
barbaric. And so in 1974, she became captivated with the new
field of hospice and palliative-care medicine, just then being
introduced into Canada at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal
by Dr. Balfour Mount.
She immersed herself in the hospice movement, becoming the administrator
of the palliative care service at the Royal Victoria Hospital,
North America's first hospital-based hospice. In 1979, we left
Quebec and moved to Chevy Chase, Md., to work with Elm Services
Inc., one of the largest U.S. health care consulting firms. As
their hospice consultant, she worked internationally with local
health care organizations, teaching and encouraging hospice development.
In 1982, after completing a feasibility study of a hospice for
children at Saint Mary's Hospital for Children in Bayside, New
York Dottie was retained to oversee its design, construction
and startup. The facility became the first hospice for children
in the world. After its completion, she remained as its director
for five years until her retirement.
Born
Dorothy
Nettie
CLARKE in Aurora, Ontario, to Caroline and
Ernest CLARKE, she was the second of three children, between
older sister Mary Louise and younger brother Douglas.
Many years ago, I asked her father what he thought was the most
important thing about a sign for my new store. I was stunned
when he answered "that it not fall down." Yet it was fundamental,
down-to-earth and revealed his methodical, basic and practical
way of thinking. I believe that her father instilled that way
of looking at things into her.
After graduating with a degree in sociology from the University
of Toronto in 1946, she worked for several years with Dr. Perry
Culver at the Massachusetts General Hospital until she moved
to Montreal in 1951, where she became a systems and procedures
analyst for what was then the
RCA
Victor company. She then became
Canada's first female management consultant with the Montreal
accounting firm of Riddell, Stead, Graham and Hutchison.
In 1959, she married David
WILSON, a Montreal businessman and
later a psychoanalyst and group therapist in New York City. This
marriage was her second.
Dottie is remembered for her skill in empowering the infant dreams
of nascent startups in the health care field. Her expertise was
honed in guiding the development of her husband's many startup
projects.
After her retirement from Saint Mary's, Dottie helped Dr. Louis
Ormont create the Center for Group Studies. Ironically, Dottie
herself was forced into the gauntlet of severe pain by the development
of an excruciating ulcer during a recent hospitalization for
disorientation. She knew that common hospice protocols for wound
care might have avoided this tragedy, so, after weeks of pointless
suffering, and recognizing the hopelessness of her situation,
she chose to enter a local hospice program. She knew that the
hospice focus on the quality of life, rather than clinging to
life at any cost, would help her win the relief she deserved.
She is survived by her husband David
WILSON, her nephews Rory
CAMERON,
Gordon
CAMERON and David
CLARKE, and her nieces Susan
CAMERON, Margaret
McCUTCHEON, Wendy
ZAROWSKI and Sandra
RANA.
Stepsons David Andrew
WILSON, Daniel Thompson
WILSON and Douglas
S. WILSON will sorely miss her.
David is Dottie's husband.

Const. Bill
McCUTCHEON:
Leader of the band
Police officer led host of parades
At 6-foot-4, he had the carriage of a warrior
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
For years he was the leader of the parade. Metro Toronto Police
Pipe
Band drum major Bill
McCUTCHEON was at the head of the Santa
Claus parades, Labour Day parades, Warrior Day parades, Grey
Cup parades, the march past at the Police Games, the opening
of the Royal Winter Fair and Kitchener-Waterloo's Oktoberfests.
At the annual Police Games held on summer nights at the Canadian
National Exhibition, he led the march past; during the popular
Musical Ride, the force's mounted unit did the charge straight
at McCUTCHEON, standing two or three paces ahead of his band.
The crowd always erupted as the horses stopped at what looked
like just 10 metres before the man holding his ground with his
mace held high.
He loved the spectacle more than they did.
Six-foot-4, he had the carriage of a warrior, the thrown-back
head of a lion leading his pride whether he was leading the parade
past the mayor of small town Ontario or Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth
II at the storied Braemar Royal Highland Gathering of Scotland.
"He was a great big strapping fine-looking man," said Jocko
THOMAS,
the Star's legendary police reporter. "Millions saw him leading
parades."
"He looked really sharp in front of the band," said former band
piper John
BREMNER. "He was a great guy to follow."
BREMNER and
McCUTCHEON were young police officers in neighbouring
downtown precincts when they signed up for a newly revived Metro
Toronto Pipe and Drum Band in 1964. Originally started by Thomas
ROSS in 1912, the marching band was disbanded in 1939, when Canada
went to war. In a nod to its history and its original founder,
the new police band chose the red Ross plaid as its official
tartan.
Within months of joining,
McCUTCHEON was elected drum major,
responsible for not only leading the parade but also for the
"dress, deportment and discipline," as
BREMNER put it, of the
40 to 50 members.
"He was a stickler for punctuality,"
BREMNER remembered. "If
Bill promised to be there at 2 p.m., we moved at 2 p.m."
McCUTCHEON retired from the band in 1975, when he retired from
the police -- "we wished he could have stayed with us," said
BREMNER -- but he kept marching at the head of the pack for the
Ontario Royal Canadian Legion Pipes, Drums and Colours.
A year earlier, he had been asked to lead the Legion massed bands
at Florida's New Year's Eve Rose Bowl parade, a huge honour at
a time when the streets were painted white for the televised
nighttime parade. He returned two more times: in 1976 and then
in 1991.
In 1978, McCUTCHEON led the Ontario Royal Canadian Legion Pipes,
Drums and Colours along the 10-kilometre route of the Tournament
of Roses Parade, lined with 1.5 million cheering spectators in
California. They made repeat appearances in 1981, 1989 (when
McCUTCHEON had just undergone treatment for cancer of the colon
six weeks before) and in 1994.
They marched the dusty main street of Tijuana, Mexico, and in
the Cavalcade Parade down Princes St. in Edinburgh. They were
cheered at the Punch Bowl and Hula Bowl in Hawaii. The first
time they appeared at Braemar, they marched past the Duke of
Fife because Queen Elizabeth was mourning the assassination of
her uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, but on their third tour of
Scotland in 1990, it was the royal couple on the stand.
A local newspaper photographer caught Prince Philip leaning forward
and peering at
McCUTCHEON's medals when he was presented to the
pair.
"It was Bill's police service medal and police war veteran medal,
that's what Philip was interested in knowing about," said
McCUTCHEON's
wife, Hilda.
But McCUTCHEON's favourite parade was always Toronto's Santa
Claus Parade. No contest.
His daughters would be bursting with pride.
"We'd scream from the sidelines when we saw him," said Karen
ZWARYCH. "He always looked straight ahead, but he always gave
us a wink. We knew he knew we were there."
"I would say to all the people next to us 'That's my Dad,' "
said Janice
FATTORE.
Sometimes, if there was a break in a parade, Hilda
McCUTCHEON
would tell her daughters, "Bet that's your father."
He loved making an entrance, even though he insisted in a 1975
interview for a police magazine that he wasn't "the type of show-off
who struts like a peacock."
McCUTCHEON had a cache of stories: the time the band was marching
at the Greenwood Race Track and they turned left and he went
straight ahead, or the times he missed the toss of the mace.
"It's the guys in the band who make it the hardest on you, like
the piper who has threatened to buy me a baseball glove," he
told the police magazine.
In his memoirs,
McCUTCHEON described marching in Nathan Phillips
Square to mark Police Week. He was doing "the walk" manoeuvre
with his mace -- stabbing the ground to the left and right as
he marched -- when the mace became embedded in a crack between
the concrete slabs. He kept right on marching without his mace,
then turned the startled band around and led them back where
he retrieved the mace on his return.
During another Yonge St. Daffodil Day parade, the mace slipped
out of his hand and bounced down the road. When he bent to retrieve
it, his feather helmet fell off. The crowd gave him an ovation
as he caught it.
The▲ son of a streetcar driver,
McCUTCHEON grew up in west Toronto.
He always loved uniforms: he belonged to the Boys Brigade and,
when he was 17, he lied about his age to enlist in the air force
but never saw any overseas action, much to his disgust. A neighbour
suggested he join the police. The neighbour was Jack
ACKROYD
who would go on to become Toronto's chief of police. He loved
being a police officer, but it was when he joined the pipe band
and later the policemen's chorus that he combined both his passions.
Possessed of a spectacular rich bass voice, he had long sung
at church minstrel shows and as a soloist in the choir at then
Westmoreland United Church. During his 28 years with the force,
he sang the national anthem at the Police Games and was the soloist
at the annual police Remembrance Day ceremony at Yorkminster
United Church.
He sang at both daughters' weddings and, always, around the house.
Until last October, he sang with the Seranato Singers, a seniors
singing group, stopping only because he was having trouble breathing.
Having survived a bypass in 1978, colon cancer and an operation
for an aneurism in 1998, he died January 20 at age 78 of melanoma.
At his funeral, members of the Toronto police chief's ceremonial
unit were honorary guards and fellow police war veterans the
pallbearers. A piper played behind the hearse and at the gravesite.
The family buried him with the mace he had carried for more than
40 years.
It was their way to ensure that he got to lead his last parade.
