GRANT,
Doreen
Violet (née
COWAN) (February 21, 1924-June 3, 2007)
In her 84th year, as a result of a debilitating stroke, Doreen
passed away surrounded by her family and under the compassionate
care of the staff at Sunnybrook Hospital. Even though she was
paralyzed and without speech, Doreen was able to communicate
expressions of her love to the members of her family and Friends
at her bedside with a smile and a squeeze of the hand. She was
predeceased in 1983 by her husband of over 40 years, William
(Bill) A. GRANT, an executive of Philips Electronics. She leaves
behind her family: daughter Margaret, daughter Karen (Larry
JACKSON,)
daughter-in-law Carol
GRANT and son Hugh (Sheri
PURCELL.)
She
is lovingly remembered by her four grandchildren, Scott (Liz
PLATTS), Tracey (Dave
PENDER), Joni
BRUNTON (Andrew
LAMORE),
and Kate JACKSON; and one great-grandchild, Jessica
MacDONALD
and many beloved nieces and nephews. Her two remaining brothers,
Bert COWAN
(Sue) of Vancouver and George
COWAN (Lena) of Port
Colborne also mourn her passing. She is predeceased by her siblings:
Het NURSE,
Boyd
COWAN and Mary
JOHNSON. Doreen remained vigorous,
vibrant and independent until her stroke. She lived in her own
home, carefully tended her own gardens and played bridge with
a number of groups. 'Granny' was a welcome and active participant
in the lives of her children and their families. The day of the
stroke she was taking pleasure in the warm spring sun from her
seat on the front porch swing of her home. Through her life Doreen
was an active force in everything in which she became involved.
Through the fifties and sixties, summers at the 'Lake of Two
Rivers' cottage meant all the Algonquin Park staff knew her by
name. She was also active in the Progressive Conservative Party
at both the federal and provincial levels, participating in many
election and leadership campaigns. Following cremation, a visitation
will be held at the Pine Hills Visitation, Chapel and Reception
Centre, 625 Birchmount Road, Toronto (416-267-8229) on Sunday,
June 10, 2007 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Memorial Celebration of
her life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation or Sunnybrook Health
Science Centre.

PURDY,
John▼
Winston▼
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Doctor John
Winston PURDY.
John▼ died peacefully on Thursday, December 28,
2006, at his daughter Anna's home in Calgary, surrounded by those
who loved him dearly. He will be remembered with joy for his
magnificent mind, his love of beauty and his passion for life.
John, a West Side boy, was raised and completed high school in
Saint John, New Brunswick. He studied physics at the University
of New Brunswick, where he received a Bachelor of Science with
honours. He went on to the University of Toronto, where he obtained
both a Masters degree and a PhD in geophysics. It was in Toronto
that he met his great love, Carolyn. Together they embarked on
a life of adventure. John and Carolyn began their life together
in Berne, Switzerland where they had their two daughters, Sarah
and Anna. They moved on to England where John was a professor
of geophysics at the University of Liverpool. John found his
true calling upon returning to Canada to study medicine at Dalhousie
University. Known as 'the refugee' from the geriatrics ward,
he was greatly admired and respected by all of his colleagues.
He had a thriving family practice in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
He subsequently specialized in ophthalmology in Fredericton for
20 years, developing a practice of devoted patients for whom
he cared greatly. His patients were grateful for his competent
gentle manner. John served his community as a member of the York-Sunbury-Queens
Medical Society, the New Brunswick Medical Association, and numerous
government committees. John had many passions through his life.
He used his beautiful, inquisitive mind to explore the mysteries
of nature, the joy of music, and the wonders of science. John
was predeceased by his parents, George and Ethel
PURDY, his brother
Judson PURDY and his daughter Sarah. He leaves his wife
Carolyn,
daughter Anna, son-in-law Peter, grandchildren John Winston and
Keziah, and nephew Sean. They will always miss him, love him
and honour his memory as a man who loved deeply, selflessly and
wholly. There will be no visitation. The funeral service will
be held on Friday, January 5, 2007 at Christ Church Cathedral,
Fredericton, at 2: 00 p.m. with The Very Rev. Keith Joyce officiating.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to

brother-in-law to Rosemarie
CHAPMAN and Dennis
CHAPMAN, also

brothers Ralph and Arthur, and by his nieces Jacqueline
BLACK
and Margaret
KAYE.
Ken's strong sense of loyalty and fun animated
a wide circle of Friends in Canada and
in England over his entire
life.
Ken was born in Winnipeg on May 10, 1924, the youngest of Norman
and Margaret
BLACK's four children. He attended the University
of Manitoba and served in the Royal Canadian Navy in corvettes
during the Second World War. After the war, he became a journalist,
first working at the Winnipeg Free Press and the Winnipeg Tribune
then spending time in Europe and England for Reuters. In 2006,
he published a memoir of his adventures during and after the
war entitled Telling It Like It Was. He joined the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation in 1957 where he worked, in both radio and television,
for over 35 years, in London, England, Saint John's, Newfoundland
and Toronto. After his retirement he dedicated himself to his
many interests, including travelling, writing, neighbourhood
activism, birdwatching and his legendary annual Victoria Day
Party.
Ken brought an unrivalled joy to life and touched everyone he
met with this enthusiasm and with his charm and humour. He was
a true gentleman, but with a wry and sometimes mischievous outlook.
Ken had the gift of treating everyone with the same gracious
manner. As the countless guests to his house will attest, he
was the soul of hospitality. He was as happy playing with children
as entertaining adults and will be remembered by a number of
generations as the delightful and engaged grown-up always ready
with wind-up toys, kites, stories and songs. His interests were
eclectic, but they were bound together by an unceasing curiosity
and energy. Ken was the cherished heart of a number of social
worlds and families. He will be sorely missed. A memorial service
will be held on Friday, August, 17, 2007 at 3: 00 p.m. at Enoch
Turner Schoolhouse, 106 Trinity Street (one block east of Parliament,
just south of King Street East, Toronto). In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made in Ken's memory to the Bruce Trail Association.
