DYCK,
Ian (1954-2007)
It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Ian
DYCK, a remarkable father, son, brother, teacher, scholar and
friend. Ian passed away in Vancouver on July 15, eight months
after a bone marrow transplant and seven years from diagnosis
of a chronic form of lymphocytic leukemia. A proud
son of Saskatchewan
farmers, Ian completed B.A. and M.A. degrees at the University
of Saskatchewan before receiving a doctorate from the University
of Sussex. After postings in Saskatoon and Lethbridge he arrived
in 1988 at Simon Fraser University, where he became an associate
professor of History. His William Cobbett and Rural Popular Culture,
published by Cambridge University Press in 1992, established
a reputation that he enhanced with two edited collections, a
dozen articles and scores of reviews. He will perhaps be best
remembered as a superb teacher, a talent that won him the university's
Excellence in Teaching Award in 1991. Hundreds of undergraduates
delighted in his Western Civilization lectures and seminar on
Popular Culture in Britain, and few professors made such an impression
on graduate students. He is survived by two daughters, Jenny
DYCK of Ottawa, and Katie
DYCK of Vancouver; his father, Clifford
DYCK, of Saskatoon; and siblings Murray
DYCK of Borden, Saskatchewan,
and Sherrie
CULVER of Moose Jaw. A memorial gathering will be
held at the farm of Murray and Linda
DYCK of Borden on Saturday,
July 28, at 2 p.m. Another gathering will take place at Simon
Fraser in the fall, date to be announced.

DYCK,
Jakob "
Jake"
Husband, father, tradesman, friend. Born September 19, 1933,
in Osterwick, Ukraine. Died June 21 in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario,
of kidney cancer, aged 73.
By Rita BISHOP,
Brenda
DYCK and Wayne
BISHOP, Page L8
What you noticed first about Jake was his size - he did not need
padding to fill out his Santa suit.
As a young man, Jake's strength became his trademark. Fellow
college students nicknamed him Samson after watching in disbelief
as he ripped a phone book in half. Years later he amazed onlookers
when, at age 70, he lifted the back end of a neighbour's car
to release an injured pet following an accident.
A machinist by trade, Jake worked at Stelco Inc. in Hamilton,
Ontario, before joining General Motors in St. Catharines. Jake's
skill and expertise advanced him to a supervisory role in the
foundry.
Jake was a devoted husband, married for more than 51 years to
Eleonore (Lori)
GOOSSEN. He was immensely proud of his two daughters
and his son-in-law. Religious faith was key in Jake's life. He
attended Fairview Mennonite Brethren Church, where he and Lori
served as deacons for 12 years.
Retirement afforded Jake and Lori time to indulge Jake's love
of travel. Jake also operated a workshop in his barn, repairing
bicycles, tractors and farm equipment.
Jake loved to entertain with his tall tales. His barn doubled
as the meeting place for his daily coffee group; most mornings
found Jake surrounded by a circle of Friends and neighbours.
If not in his workshop, Jake could be found helping his friend
Chris run the Virgil Truck and Car Washington. Dealing with the
public was Jake's forte. His good-humoured service style and
his ear-to-ear grin made him popular.
He liked to help: When Jake learned that migrant workers from
the neighbouring farm had no transportation, he provided bicycles.
He kept a jar for cash donations in his workshop. In addition
to the entry fee of a Tim Hortons double-double, his morning
coffee buddies were expected to contribute as Jake raised money
to fund a well in Africa.
He and Lori routinely delivered groceries to the needy and opened
their home on three occasions to foster children. His compassion
extended to animals as well; over the years, Jake's menagerie
included stray cats, dogs, chickens, a horse, a goat and a pig.
In January, Jake suffered a stroke and was later diagnosed with
cancer. Hospital staff were amazed at his bright attitude and
enjoyed the big smile he readily flashed for his many visitors.
Even the hospital chaplain stopped by Jake's room regularly to
receive inspiration.
"Big Jake" was a gentle giant with a heart of gold. The big shoes
he leaves behind can never be filled but his big smile remains
with those who knew him.
Rita BISHOP and Brenda
DYCK are Jake's daughters, Wayne
BISHOP
his son-in-law.

CUMMING,
Reverend
Doctor
Ivan
Everett
Ivan CUMMING died unexpectedly on Thanksgiving Sunday, October 7,
2007, at Vancouver General Hospital, British Columbia. He spent
his last days reflecting, telling stories, and holding close
family: Nina, his high school sweetheart and wife of 58 years
children Lois (Rob
SMITH,)
Connie
(Gordon
CALDWELL,) Pat (David
PEARCE) and Victor (Mary-Ann
REID;) grandchildren Antonia (Steve,)
Roberta (Keith), Sarah, Matthew, Shane, Andrew, Scott, Jason,
Lindsey,
Kate; great-grandchild Owen; sister-in-law Lillie
BAILEY
and nephew Larrie
McDONALD and family (Andrew, Jessica, Amber,
Dawn, MacKenzie;) and nieces, Doctor Millie
CUMMING and Caryll
DYCK.
Ivan is also survived by younger brothers Len and Carman, many
nieces and nephews, and great-grandchildren Haley and Kyle.
Ivan was born on September 1, 1927, and raised on the family
farm in Barrie, Ontario, ninth of eleven children. His formative
years with his immediate and large extended family provided him
with the values, love, and stories he shared with all of his
acquaintances throughout his lifetime. He was a recognized high
school athlete and Valedictorian of his graduating class. Ivan
earned degrees from the University of Western Ontario, Queen's
Theological College, and Oberlin Theological College, including
a Doctor of Ministry and later an Honorary Doctor of Divinity
from St. Stephen's College, Alberta. His ministry in the United
Church of Canada spanned 60 years from 1947 and 2007 and afforded
him many roles. He worked in Vermilion Bay and Hilton, Ontario
Golden and Burnaby (Deer Lake), British Columbia; Oberlin (Presbyterian
Church), Ohio; Vancouver (British Columbia Field Secretary for
Christian Education); Naramata (Director of Naramata Centre)
British Columbia; Trinidad (Presbyterian Church); and then again
in Vancouver, British Columbia as Executive Secretary for British
Columbia Conference and Minister of Ryerson United. After retirement
in 1993, Ivan continued as an Organizational Development Consultant,
a facilitator of Seniors' education and activities (including
the British Columbia provincial Seniors' Summits), and as an
educator.
He and Nina worked and traveled the world extensively-both for
pleasure and in a volunteer capacity. Ivan will be remembered
as an inspired storyteller and passionate punster, a dedicated
and loving husband and father, a proud and giving (great) grandfather,
a leader, educator, mentor, generous friend to many, and avid
curler. A memorial service, celebrating Ivan's life and gifts
will be held at Ryerson United Church on Saturday, October 20,
2007, at 2 p.m. To those wishing to send cards and flowers, please
do so directly to the Ryerson Memorial Centre, 2195 W. 45th Ave,
Vancouver British Columbia, V6M 2J2. Memories of Ivan can be
shared at www.ivancumming.ca.
