MILLMAN, James Campbell "J.C."
In loving memory of my only son, James Campbell (J.C.), who passed away suddenly eight years ago, July 1st, 1998
I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
With tears upon my cheeks.
Missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.
So if you have a son,
Cherish him with care,
For you'll never know the heartache,
When you turn and he is not there.
- Always loved and sadly missed by Mom.

Pat MARSDEN, Broadcaster: (1936-2006)
Canadian Football League play-by-play specialist and radio host lived life large. He stiffed a Nevada casino over a gambling debt, took a swing at his boss and was bailed out of jail by Brian MULRONEY
By James CHRISTIE with files from William HOUSTON, Page S9
It was part of Pat MARSDEN's profession, as a caller of football play-by-plays and a radio host, to be a storyteller. But the Ottawa-born broadcast star didn't just tell entertaining tales he often starred in them.
Citing his Irish heritage, Mr. MARSDEN was alternately provocative, funny, obstinate, sentimental, pugnacious and -- until he stopped imbibing in recent years -- always willing to buy an adversary a drink while he hammered away with his opinions. "He had to get out of here because he couldn't get a rum and coke," his wife, T.A. MARSDEN, told radio station The Fan 590 yesterday morning from Sunnybrook Hospital, minutes after his death.
An eight-year stint as co-host of The Fan morning show was the last stop in a career of more than four decades behind the microphone or in front of the camera. Mr. MARSDEN even parodied sports broadcasters as a television actor, sporting a slicked-down comb-over, a loud plaid jacket and talking in exaggerated tones as he interviewed calamity-prone stuntman Super Dave Osborne (a.k.a. Bob Einstein) in a 1992 series.
He is best known for his play-by-play coverage of the Canadian Football League telecasts and Grey Cup championships in the 1970s and 1980s. He also worked as host of the 1972 Canada-Soviet Union hockey summit series telecasts. His longest stint was 19 years with CTV's Toronto flagship station CFTO, where he had a reputation for marching to his own beat. In a 1986 Globe and Mail interview, Mr. MARSDEN said bluntly, "Nobody tells me what to do and nobody tells me what to say, on or off the air. I developed a thick skin a long time ago and I don't care how people would like me to act. I won't be dull and I'll always have self respect." He declared that he would always be himself.
"He did it his own way," said long-time colleague Fergie Olver, who knew Mr. MARSDEN could make connections at the high and low ends of the social scale. "He was the only guy who was thrown in jail in Regina on a Friday night, and then he went to Montreal where he was thrown in jail again, and [former prime minister] Brian MULRONEY bailed him out."
Indeed, when Mr. MARSDEN signed off for the last time in May of 2004, Mr. MULRONEY phoned the station from Europe to congratulate him on his career.
Pat MARSDEN was an Ottawa native who started a career in radio as director of CKOY. He went on to become the long-time sports director of CFTO, returning to radio at CFRB after a stormy exchange with CFTO news and public-affairs vice-president Ted STEUBING over a technical problem. Mr. MARSDEN reportedly lunged across Mr. STEUBING's desk to scuffle with the boss.
He also worked with Bill Watters on TSN's The Sports Page. "Whenever I was with him, it would be 30 seconds and I'd either be laughing at me or laughing at him, or with him," said Mr. Watters, who had seen the lighter side of the broadcaster.
After Mr. MARSDEN retired and moved to Florida, Fan 590 executives sought him out in 1994 to fight a desperate ratings battle for Toronto listeners. He'd been out of the market some eight years, but The Fan program director Nelson MILLMAN said the station had pursued him to gain credibility for a new format.
"We'd come through two seasons of labour stoppages in sports&hellip we were floundering. We had Bob McCOWN in the afternoons and we needed to fix the morning show. Pat gave us some stability in 1994 and 1995. He was the right guy in the right place at the right time. He was a character like no other and he represented sport in this town."
At The Fan, Mr. MARSDEN at first paired with the hip and younger John DERRINGER. Both men were from the right side of the political spectrum, both had ties to the United States and an antipathy for prime minister Jean Chrétien.
Yet their chemistry was not great. Mr. MARSDEN had come from an era of radio crooners and crop reports, while Mr. DERRINGER from a culture of rock radio. There was more dissonance than charm in their old-young mix and Mr. DERRINGER ultimately departed. He was replaced by Don LANDRY, another young foil for Mr. MARSDEN.
"Pat and Don were much more opposites politically and in outlook toward life," said Mr. MILLMAN. " That made for better chemistry than someone who often agreed with Pat's political outlook. When sparks fly, that's entertainment."
Mr. LANDRY's comedic aptitude lightened the mood and ratings began to climb for an odd couple that could laugh at each other and at themselves. "Half the people loved it, half asked me 'why do you pick on Pat so much, '? Mr. LANDRY said. "Good chemistry or bad chemistry is a question of taste, but he was loved. By now, he's probably found Pierre Trudeau and is bawling him out for what he did as prime minister."
That scenario would be a stretch of the imagination. Mr. MARSDEN and Mr. Trudeau wouldn't fit in each other's version of heaven. Hell, possibly.
"Nobody's perfect, but nobody wore his imperfection as well as Pat MARSDEN," Mr. DERRINGER said. "The smile, the laugh, the ability to keep things on an even keel was always an inspiration."
Mr. MARSDEN commuted from his Florida home for the first few years of his Fan 590 job, rooming in Toronto weekdays and flying home weekends to the United States, always returning with gripes about Canadian gasoline prices, the non-functioning escalators at Pearson Airport and former Mr. Chretien's lack of support for U. S foreign policy. Later, Mr. MARSDEN and his family eventually moved back to Toronto.
The station opted not to renew his contract in May 2004. Rogers Communications, which owns the station, had the option of picking up three more years on a five-year pact that has been paying him $300,000 annually, but declined. They paid him off with six months remaining in his 2004 contract and Pat MARSDEN didn't complain.
"Getting up at 4 o'clock is so tiring, you can't function properly. I'm not at all disappointed.
"If they don't want you, they don't want you. I'm finished with the business. It's like you don't matter any more. That's fine. No use worrying about it. You take what comes along in life.'"
Mr. MARSDEN lived life large, enjoyed a party, loved his rum and his outings to casinos. In 1981, he managed to borrow $30,000 (U.S.) from the owners of the casino at The Dunes Las Vegas hotel in Nevada and signed a series of markers when his money ran out. He then left three cheques, two of them postdated. Back in Toronto, he stopped payment on the latter pair. The casino owners took him to an Ontario District Court -- and lost. Judge James TROTTER said that Nevada's gambling laws and demand for payment were "unenforceable in Ontario," and that Mr. MARSDEN's cheques were an "illegal consideration" under Ontario's Gaming Act.
Gambler though he was, Mr. MARSDEN knew he had no chance of beating cancer. He was diagnosed after visiting his doctor about a pain in his lower back. Lung cancer was found and it had spread into his bones. He had been a smoker since a young child "but I have no regrets. I'm 69 and I've had a good life with lots of laughs and lots of Friends. Lots of great memories."
"I started smoking when I was four years old," he once said in an interview with The Globe and Mail's William HOUSON. " Somebody said to me, 'Christ, where the hell did you grow up, in Mississippi?' No, but I had an old uncle who thought it was hilarious, as he and his pals sat around the kitchen table having a beer, if I would come in and have a smoke with them. That's when I started. I never quit."
While in hospital, he received phone calls from generations of broadcast colleagues and sports reporters. He was visited by Leo Cahill (former Toronto Argonauts coach), and Scotty Bowman (retired National Hockey League coach) and by Brian KILREA, the long-time coach of the major-junior 67's hockey team in Ottawa, where Mr. MARSDEN grew up.
"The only thing I can say is, don't feel sorry for me," he said. "I've had a terrific life and a terrific wife and great children, and I'm delighted with the way my life has gone.
"I would have liked for it to have been a little longer, but, you know, you reap what you sow."
Pat MARSDEN was born in Ottawa, November 8, 1936, and died of lung cancer in Toronto yesterday. He leaves his wife, T.A., daughter Taylor, son Connor, and three grown children from his first marriage: Mike, Patti-Lee, and Ruth Mary.

ROWE, Harold
Harold was born on Manitoulin Island December 21, 1921, son of Ted and Lily ROWE. He was later joined by a sister Edna and a brother Wilbert.
In 1942 Harold joined the Canadian Army, Second Division landing in France in 1944 to begin the fighting. He was wounded twice during the war. His brother Wilbert was killed and is buried in Holland. The war ended May 8, 1945, he arrived back in Canada, November 27, 1945 and was finally discharged January 21, 1946.
He bought a truck and a small farm outside Little Current. On February 21, 1950 he married Doreen STRINGER. A son, Garry, was born June 14, 1951 and Carol arrived September 1, 1952. In 1957 they moved to the 8th of Proton buying a farm from Lou BENSON.
They bought milk cows, converted the barn adding a bulk tank and began shipping milk. In 1967 they sold the farm and bought the New Century Restaurant from John and Irene MILLS. Harold started a job at the newly built factory Trim Trends, working in the day time at the factory and then switching to washing dishes at the restaurant in the evening. He continued at Trim Trends until his retirement in 1986.
He took flying lessons from Carl IRWIN and got his pilot's license which had been a dream of his for years. He bought a two-seater Cessna which he kept at Lorne ACHESON's until they built their present house, a hanger for the plane and a landing strip. He attended many fly-ins, looked for lost cattle, flew back and forth to the Manitoulin to visit his relatives and really enjoyed flying.
They sold the restaurant in 1969 and in 1970 Greg joined the family. Early '80s a boat replaced the plane and a trailer was placed at Victoria Harbour where they spent many weekends fishing and relaxing.
Harold had many hobbies. He loved to read, listen to music, and watch horse racing on T.V. He was an avid bird watcher and had many visitors at his feeders. He loved to travel and had taken many trips to the American West, Canadian West, East coast and Florida. He was overseas twice, once in 1984 with Doreen and Carol and again in 2004 with Allan SMITH. He visited Germany, Holland, France Belgium, Luxembourg and England. While there he visited his brother's grave and many other interesting places.
He took pride in his huge garden always trying to outsmart the birds and keep them away from his strawberries. He had a passion for teaching his children, their Friends and grandchildren to love the sport of fishing, a tradition that hopefully they will pass on to their children. Some days his line never got in the water as he was too busy taking off sunfish and small bass for everyone else. He went on many fishing trips with his sons and grand_sons. He loved to fish and even liked it better if he caught something. He was also a very good cook and was always looking for new recipes to try. You could always count on there being cookies, squares, donuts around for the grandchildren and the candy dish was always full.
He was a great Dad supporting and helping his children. He built his own home and helped build Garry's and Greg's homes. He was always there to answer any questions and offer advice. He spent endless hours helping at Lorne and Carol's farm, ploughing, cultivating, baling, drawing grain, fixing things and doing any little jobs that needed to be done. His truck could be seen daily spring and fall heading towards the farm. He was a cherished and special grandfather who was always there whether it be to babysit, or teach them to ride their first bike, or read a story or remove that sunfish from their hook. There were always some treats somewhere in the house for the grandchildren when they popped in after school.
Harold passed away peacefully at home on April 13, 2006, and will be sadly missed but lovingly remembered by his wife Doreen, son Gary and Barb, daughter Carol and Lorne, son Greg and Kelly, his grandchildren Don and Stacy ROWE, Theresa and Sandy YOUNG, Janette, Denise, Lori, Andrew, Kati RIDDELL, Connor and Meghan ROWE and great-grandchildren Avery, Jared and Jordon ROWE and Carter and Abigail YOUNG.
To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die.

March 7, 2005
In loving memory of our dearly missed grandmother.
Two bright eyes, a tender smile,
A loving heart that knew no guile,
Deep trust in God that all was right,
Her joy to make some other bright,
If sick or suffering one she knew,
Some gentle act of love she'd do,
No thought of self, but of the other,
I know He said, "Well done, dear Mother"
Two tired eyes are sleeping,
Two willing hands are still.
For one who suffered far too much,
Is resting in God's will.
You never said goodbye to us,
Perhaps it's just as well,
We never could have said goodbye,
To one we loved so well.
Forever in our hearts… Love, your Family.

Ex-Londoner left footprints worldwide
By Susan KIRWIN, Free Press Reporter, Sun., July 9, 2006
Carla (MILLS) CAMERON genuinely enjoyed the little things during her extraordinary life.
At 30, she was a naturopathic doctor, a world traveller and an accomplished athlete.
Living in Zurich, Switzerland, with her husband, Blair CAMERON, the London woman died following a horseback riding accident June 9.
"She was the best person to travel with. She would take real joy in the little things," said Blair. "She would still be amazed to see a goat or to be walking on a beach."
Carla was a substitute teacher and coached swimming at the international school where her husband worked. She also taught yoga and studied German.
She grew up in London and graduated from South secondary school where she excelled academically and athletically.
Her mother, Jane MILLS said she was a "ferocious reader." It was a pastime she shared with her father, Randy MILLS, constantly exchanging books.
Her brother, Kevin MILLS, often turned out her light in the middle of the night after an eight-year-old Carla had fallen asleep reading scary novels.
Carla looked after Kevin, too.
"She always treated me so well," he said. "When I got older, she taught me how to dance."
Carla and Blair, another Londoner, met at Queen's University where she went to study science.
"I thought she was beautiful because of her red hair," said Blair.
He shocked her when he kissed her on their first date, rollerblading beside Lake Ontario, at the same spot where he later asked her to marry him.
They wed October 4, 2003.
As students, the two found summer jobs in England, the Isle of Sark and Idaho.
"I don't think I ever would have done it without her. She was the one who got things done," said Blair.
Since moving to Switzerland in August 2005, they had visited Egypt, the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Germany and Austria. They'd just bought a car to tour Eastern Europe this summer.
The Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii and Costa Rica also were marked by Carla's footprints.
The impact she had on Friends was evident in dozens of online condolences the family received after her death, her mother said.
"She always knew what to say at the right time and knew when you needed a hug even if you didn't know you needed it yourself," she said, reading from close friend's tribute.
Bursary

Area crashes leave two dead
By Jane SIMS, Free Press Reporter, Sun., December 10, 2006
Two deaths were reported on area roads due to the snowstorm.
Early yesterday, a 15-year-old Springford-area girl died in a pickup truck rollover on Oxford County Road 13, near Norwich.
Oxford Community Police said Grietje DEWIT had been a passenger in the truck when it went out of control, turned sideways and hit the soft shoulder of the road.
The truck rolled three times into a ditch and came to rest in a field.
Both DEWIT and the 16-year-old driver were ejected from the truck. The driver suffered non-life threatening injuries.
DEWIT died at hospital.
The road conditions at the time of the collision were poor with blowing and drifting snow, sometimes becoming white-outs.

MILLS, John▲▼ (2005) and Rosetta (2006)
Sending our love Mom and Dad. We see the countless Christmas trees around the world below. With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting in the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear, For we are spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. We hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. We have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing. We know how much you miss us. We see the pain inside your heart, But we are not so far away. We really aren't so far apart. So be happy for us dear ones, You know we hold you dear, And be glad we're spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. We send you each a special gift, from our heavenly home above. We send you each a memory of our undying love. After all, love is the gift, more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as our Father said to do, For we can't count the blessing of love he has for each of you. So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember we're spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. Forever in our hearts, love Donna, Jim, Laura, Gary and families.

LAMACRAFT, Audrey Margret (née OKE)
Born May 16, 1913 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Daughter of George Richardson OKE and Betrice May MILLS. Longtime resident of Copper Cliff, Ontario. Died peacefully in her 94th year October 4, 2006 at Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto after a brief illness. Predeceased by her beloved husband Jack LAMACRAFT in 1991. She is survived by her daughter Marie TINCOMBE- SHAW, her sons George, John and Ralph, her daughters-in-law Anna (Cliffe), Linda (Burns), and Anne (Karvanen), and by her 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Lloyd OKE and her other brothers Orville and George having predeceased her. Audrey will be remembered as a strong willed, independent, determined woman and a true character. She set a high moral standard. Honesty, integrity, the work ethic, thrift and the golden rule were herbasic rules. The bedrock of her life was a strong and happy 58 year marriage and everything else flowed from this. She was always intensely absorbed in the welfare of all in her clan. As a young girl she learned to 'read tea leaves' from a neighbour friend of her mother's. Audrey had a gift or some kind of sixth sense for this and was extremely prescient at reading people. She was a lifelong avid bridge player and had her senior masters card. She loved party games of all kind. She enjoyed travel and visited many different countries and well into her eighties, after the death of her husband, had several travel adventures on her own, one to Russia. To Audrey everything and anything was possible. She had a natural curiosity about people and things and despite some short term memory problems in the last several years this trait remained strong to the end. She had a full life. Audrey lived her last six years at Fellowship Towers. She found it herself and she loved the place. The family would like to express their gratitude to the management and staff for providing a safe, secure, warm and cheerful environment for senior citizen assisted living. A private family celebration of her life was held at the Church of St. Clements Eglinton on October 6, 2006. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Trull 'North Toronto' Funeral Home and Cremation Centre. The family requests that those who wish to remember Audrey can make a gift in her name to the Alzheimer Society or a charity of their choice.
