Great teacher, good friend recalled as fiery and loyal
By Amanda ROBINSON, Sun Media, Sun., July 29, 2007
In the classroom and in life, Margaret FALLONA expected nothing but the best.
"She was very detailed, very disciplined and a hard marker," said 62-year-old John CLOUSTON, a former student of FALLONA's at G.A. Wheable Secondary in London.
With a strict nature, the modern languages teacher -- who died at a long-term care home on July 11 at age 101 -- was dedicated to her profession. After school, she would tutor students and organize trips to Quebec.
FALLONA also taught at H.B. Beal Secondary and in Chapleau, Ontario
Even after retiring in 1971, her hard work wasn't forgotten.
"At her wake there were a number of students who said that she inspired them to continue with education," said James FALLONA, 70, her eldest nephew.
Born in Hastings, Ontario, in 1905, her parents moved the family to London in 1916 so she and siblings Helen and Philip, both since deceased, could have more educational opportunities.
At age 14, she enrolled in Brescia College, graduating with a B.A. in 1924.
"She was very gifted. It wasn't normal for students to go to university that young," said James FALLONA.
Considered too young for teachers college, she took more university courses. She finally received a degree from the Ontario College of Education in 1927.
A woman of many talents, FALLONA spoke French and Spanish and played the piano and violin.
She also reunited her large Irish family, organizing the first FALLONA reunion in Portland, Maine, in 1984, and another in Ireland in 1990.
While she explored her family roots, she kept her hands in education.
She served several educational organizations and set up scholarships for students in high schools and universities.
Long-time friend Helen McLEOD, 86, said she'll miss FALLONA's companionship and fiery personality.
"You couldn't sway her opinion. When she believed in something she would go to (any lengths) defending it."

Lou loved spending time with his family and Friends at the summer cottage he and Mary built.

He made the most of his retirement, traveling with his wife and Friends, working on his gardens, developing his golf and curling games, and taking long walks with his beloved dogs. Lou's competitive fire was most evident during nightly cribbage games at the cottage. Quiet yet confident, Lou will be forever remembered for his patience, spirit and kindness. We will miss his guidance, sense of humour, and loving nature.

The family would also like to thank the Waterloo Community Care Access Centre team, Doctor Bob HUNTER, Kitchener and the doctors of the Hamilton Juravinski Cancer Centre for their caring and support of Barb through her long journey. Barb was predeceased by her first husband, Bill McLEOD, and her parents, Luke and Hope TINCKNELL, of Paris, Ontario. Barb was first and foremost a proud and loving mother. She was also a wonderful, caring and generous wife, sibling, friend, and teacher. She was born in Paris, Ontario, where she spent the entirety of her childhood. She was an energetic child, who succeeded both at academics and athletics. She attended teacher's college at McMaster University and later returned to Guelph University to complete a degree in English and theatre arts. She taught at several elementary schools, took a leave to dedicate herself to parenting, and then returned to Queensmount Senior Public School in the late 1980s. Barb established herself as a remarkable teacher who inspired both her students and her colleagues. She taught English and math and directed several musical productions, while acting as a supportive mentor and friend to her fellow staff. In recent years, Barb was an avid fan of her daughter's careers, both scholastic and athletic. She adored her 'boys', Cody and Spooky, and the new addition of Oakley. She was a knowledgeable and dedicated sports fan. She travelled frequently with Jim, to Western and Eastern Canada, Boston, and Sanibel Island, Florida. Barb loved visiting with her granddaughter, Morgan, spending time at her cabin, gardening, bird watching, renovating and decorating her home, riding her bicycle, going to movies, and visiting her favourite people. As her health declined over the past year, Barb inspired us all with her ability to embrace every day of her life, and to find joy and humour during the most difficult of times. She fought an incredibly long and hard battle, but continued to focus only on the needs and lives of others. Her life was miraculous in many ways; she will be cherished forever by those who were blessed to share her life. Interment will be at Memory Gardens followed by a private service in celebration of her life.

Phyllis celebrated her 91st birthday on June 11, 2007 while in hospital for the treatment of cancer. She was predeceased by her late husband of 63 years, Frederick WHITE/WHYTE, her sister Margaret and her brother Hector McLEOD. She▲▼ is survived by her sons Frederick J., Douglas, David and her daughter Gretchen, her five grandchildren Alicia and Tyler, Jamie and Christopher, and Frederick L. Phyllis was born the daughter of John Angus and Jennie Margaret McLEOD on June 11, 1916. She was a graduate of Agnes Megantic High School, and went on to McDonald College for Teachers affiliated with McGill University, Montreal, Quebec. Remaining in Quebec province, she taught elementary school Grade 2 for the Town of Mount Royal from 1939-43. Phyllis met her future husband when she shared an apartment in Montreal with his sister Marion. After being very enamoured of Phyllis' cooking, Fred married her on June 26, 1943 and the wedding reception was held at the Mount Royal Hotel. They then moved to Mont St. Hilaire, just south of Montreal, where she raised her four children in a home overlooking the Richelieu River. The family was active in the local St. Andrews United Church, Beloeil, Quebec. Always a creative mind, Phyllis learned the art of rug hooking and produced many original rugs throughout her lifetime. She learned the skill of bread making from her mother and Phyllis remained an enthusiastic bread maker, much to the benefit of Friends and family, throughout her whole life. Phyllis was a perennial caretaker of both plants and flowers. Under her tender care, her plants thrived both inside and outside the home. In 1969 Phyllis and Fred moved to the Chelsea district of London, England. There she took up the art of patchwork quilting because she said it was all the rage in London at the time. She produced many hand pieced hexagonal design coverlets that were used in the home. When they returned to Canada, they moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia where they lived in their Studley Ave. home for 35 years. Phyllis even produced a small hooked rug depicting their Studley Ave. home. Always enthusiastic patrons of the arts, Phyllis and Fred were life members of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. The family wishes to thank the wonderful Studley Ave. neighbours who generously lent their support and Friendship especially in their years of declining health. Phyllis wished to thank her good friend Joan Dawson for her close and abiding Friendship over the years. The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses who gave such compassionate care throughout Phyllis' recent illness. A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 24 at 11 a.m. at the Atlantic School of Theology Chapel, 660 Francklyn Street, Halifax. Rev. Arlene Riches officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Radiation Oncology Fund at the QEII Foundation, 1278 Tower Road, Room 1-040, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 2Y9 Canada.

As corporate lawyer (having graduated from Osgoode Hall in 1950), Director of Personnel and chief labour contract negotiator for General Motors of Canada over a 29 year career, A.G. was the youngest director in the company's history. His was the voice of reason - the calm amidst many a storm during one of the most challenging eras in the United Auto Workers/General Motors contract evolution. Many said that Arn's unique ability to compartmentalize complicated concepts won over both union foes and management associates alike. He was able to maintain composure by utilizing a wonderful sense of humour centered around a quick wit and well placed one-liners. A man of few words, when he spoke, people listened. An English scholar (Words Are Important!), a history and travel buff, a Wagnerian connoisseur, a lover of opera and Shakespeare and one heck of a bridge and chess player, Arn was a 50+ year subscriber to the Stratford Festival (his second most favorite place after the family cottage at Inverhuron Beach). Always willing to give his ample talents to worthy causes, Arn served as Chairman and long time director of the Oshawa General Hospital, board member of both St. Andrew's Church in Oshawa and First-St. Andrew's United Church in London, and was a member in standing of the Law Society of Canada. In the words of his beloved Shakespeare -"to thine own self be true". A celebration of Arn's life will be held at First-St. Andrew's United Church, 350 Queens Avenue at Waterloo, London on Saturday, January 5 at 1: 00 p.m. Reception to follow.

LEGG, Fred
Husband, father, grandfather, friend, confidant, volunteer, golf enthusiast. Born September 14, 1938, in London, Ontario Died June 21 in St. Catharines, Ontario, after living with multiple sclerosis for many years, aged 68.
By Barbara LEGG, David LEGG and Heather McLEOD, Page L8
Fred LEGG approached the ball on its tee and swung hard. An athletic young man, he was a regular presence on golf courses and basketball courts. Only this time, his balance deserted him.
Returning to his feet, he finished the round. Walking away from the 18th hole, Fred and his partners knew he had played his last game.
Multiple sclerosis slowly took away more than his swing. His legs failed him, then his arms. He needed a cane, then two canes, a scooter, and finally a wheelchair. In later years he was immobile from the neck down. From the neck up he remained the same man. With each new stumble, his response was equal parts acceptance and defiance.
Fred was diagnosed when his two children were about 10. Faced with looming limitations, the family became enthusiastic travellers. Fred wanted to see every Major League Baseball park in North America. He was kept from that goal only by the sport's demand for new stadiums.
He and his wife, Barbara, were active members of the church, played countless hours of bridge with Friends, and attended concerts and college basketball games. He, quiet and resolute, was president and treasurer of the Multiple sclerosis Society chapter in St. Catharines. She, assertive and charming, helped organize numerous fundraisers. Out of devotion first and necessity second, they were an indivisible team.
Unable to golf himself, Fred endlessly tweaked his wife's swing. Later, unable to see his five grandchildren as often as he would have liked, he recorded a telling of Robert Munsch's Smelly Socks so they could forever hear his voice.
Fred was a scholar of corny puns and an avid gardener - sitting on his deck monitoring those who volunteered to mind the flower beds.
The wheelchair became mere formality. To Mason, one of his young grand_sons, Fred was simply "sit-down grandpa." As Fred's mobility became limited, visitors to their home became numerous and frequent. In later years his voice weakened, but this too literally drew people closer.
Over the past year, Fred's health deteriorated. During one hospital stay he told his son if the end was near he could leave satisfied, knowing nothing was left unfinished.
And yet, the day before Fred died, severely weakened by infections, he continued to love life and was neither willing nor ready to give up. He told his daughter that even though there wasn't seemingly much to live for, it was enough.
Barbara LEGG is Fred's wife, and David LEGG and Heather McLEOD are his children.
