WARD,
Claire▼ (née

Died quietly on July 5, 2007 at age 87, the final small transition
in an illness that had diminished her once-sharp mind and weakened
her once-agile body. Her emotional capacity endured longer, allowing
occasional flashes of her essential kindness, sweetness and bravery,
even towards the end. Claire was born in East York in 1919, the
youngest in a family of five children of Thomas Bartholomew William
HIGGINS and Augusta
RYAN, and step-mother Frances
COOK.
Her▼ four
siblings, Tony, Marjorie, Arthur and Ray all predeceased her.
In 1932, the family returned to England and in 1938, Claire married
Arthur WARD.
They▼ were intensely devoted to each other for 65 years
until his death in 2003. They went through the London Blitz together,
each working in civil defense. Then in 1949 they and their daughters
emigrated to Canada where Claire worked with passion and commitment
in a number of helping organizations in Toronto, including many
years with the office of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees, and the United Nations Association in Canada. She
also studied for 14 years, mostly in the evenings, to get a B.A.
from the University of Toronto at age 54. Claire and Arthur were
members of Holy Trinity Church, Thornhill and Saint Paul's (Westdale)
in Hamilton. For the family, the sense of missing her began some
years ago but now it is definite. She was "Mum" to Vandra (and

Whistler with his family and Friends. Graduating from University
Hill Secondary, Jay went on to pursue geochemistry at University
of British Columbia, graduating with a Doctorate degree in 1997.
During his often-joked about decade at University of British
Columbia, Jay met and married Shelagh, became a Dad to Connor
(16) and Declan (13) and made many deep Friendships with his
lab and beer garden mates. While still writing his thesis, Jay
began his professional career as an environmental consultant,
later forming Lorax Environmental Services with partners David
Flather, Ali Sahami, and Tom Pederson in 1996. The values Jay
lived by were reflected in all his business relationships, and
guided how he and his partners built the company. Jay had a passion
for music, and looked forward to Friday jam sessions at Lorax,
which were often a mix of jazz/blues riffs and debate on obscure
scientific notions. Jay had a unique ability to create music
compilations, and took to carrying his Ipod to all parties because
he was so often requested to 'plug in and play'. Jay's approach
to life, with its vagaries of opportunities and challenges, was
to meet everything with positive acceptance. Jay cared deeply
and passionately for his family and Friends and graced us with
his humour, intellect, and thoughtful actions. He was a personal
confidante to many and was known for his non-judgemental advice
and counsel. His most important roles were as Dad to the boys
and husband to Shelagh, and his preferred place to be was anywhere
they were. A celebration of Jay's life will take place on Thursday,
December 13th at the Terminal City Club from 3: 00-5:00 p.m. Please
contact Lorax Environmental at 604-688-7173 to RSVP. Special
acknowledgments and deep gratitude to Doctor Chris Hodgson who cared
for Jay throughout the last 2½ years and palliative nurses Dyann
Russell, Nancy Purchall and Mark Demers who ensured he was comfortable
and supported. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate
cards and letters of memories of Jay for his sons to keep, or
donations in his name to the Vancouver Home Hospice Program,
c/o Pacific Spirit Community Health Centre, 2110 West 43rd Avenue,
Vancouver, British Columbia V6M 2E1.
