Loving great-grandfather of Alexa and Sean
TOMAN.
He is remembered as the President of Yellow Shoes which pioneered
the idea of low cost self-serve retail stores. He grew the company
from 10 stores to one of the largest shoe chains in Quebec. His
brilliance as a stylist and his creative genius at retailing
helped Yellow become one of the most successful shoe chains in
the country and he was known as a leader in the shoe industry.
Yellow was so much a part of Quebec culture that one of the three
major characters in the play "Broue", a satirical look at working
class life in Quebec, was a Yellow store manager.
In the latter part of his life his major challenge was his health
and he met it with the same optimism, courage and spirit that
he poured into his business.
He was a major benefactor of the Marilyn and Ernest Avrith Liver
Transplant Clinic at the Royal Victoria Hospital and the Beth
Jacob Teacher's College, Montreal.

Heinz Maxzimallian
ROSENFELDT went to be with the Lord on Tuesday,
May 21, 2008 at Shelburne Residence, Shelburne, Ontario in his
87th year. He was born October 27, 1921 in a refugee camp in
his native Prussia. His parents were Johann and Augusta
ROSENFELDT.
When he was six weeks old his parents were given the choice of
going to Poland or Germany. They chose Germany. His growing up
in Germany was full of family, faith, school and sports. He became
an avid outdoorsman and camper, which he maintained throughout
his lifetime.
After graduating from school he worked for the Deutsche Bank
for 26 years prior to he and his wife Wilma immigrating to Canada
in 1964. In Canada he worked as a butcher, then a welder at the
Collingwood shipyards before going to Toronto where he continued
to work as a welder, ultimately on stainless steel hospital equipment.
Following the unexpected death of his wife in 1969, he returned
to Dundalk in 1970 where he soon became employed at the Dundalk
Co-op in the hardware store, eventually becoming the Co-op manager,
a position he held until he retired in 1986. In 1997 he was diagnosed
with cancer and courageously battled it until his death. He continued
to live in Dundalk until being hospitalized prior to going to
Shelburne Residence just before his death.
Heinz credits his mother with teaching him the Bible and a personal
relationship with his Lord. He stated she knew her Bible from
cover to cover and practiced it.
He was actively involved in numerous organizations. He was a
member of Erskine Presbyterian Church, Dundalk; Dundalk Masonic
Lodge; Manito Shrine Club, Collingwood and Dundalk Canadian Legion,
of which he was the treasurer from 1972 until 1987.
He is survived by two daughters, Christel (Rainer)
WIGGERS and
Marlies ROSENFELDT and two grand_sons, Jan (Birgit)
WIGGERS and
Kians WIGGERS, all of Oldenburg, Germany. He was predecensed
by his parents Johann and Augusta, a sister, two brothers and
both his wives, Marga and Wilma.
His daughter, Christel
WIGGERS and her husband Rainer attended
her father's funeral from Oldenburg, Germany.
A funeral service was conducted on June 3, 2008 at 2 p.m. at
the McMillan and Jack Funeral Home in Dundalk, by the Rev. Mark
DAVIDSON, minister of Erskine Church. A biographical outline
of Heinz's life was given by Delbert
FOWLER.
Visitation was held
on June 2, 2008 at which time a Masonic service was also conducted.
Pallbearers were Eric
BRYANT, Delbert
FOWLER, Heinz
JAKOBS, Bob
SCOTT,
Victor
SCOTT, and Don
VANALSTINE. Floral arrangements
were from: family and Friends. A time of fellowship was held
at Erskine Church following the interment in Maple Grove Cemetery,
Dundalk.
Heinz's approach to when his life on earth would end was that
"The best is yet to come"! For Heinz, "The best has now come"!

ZABOROWSKI,
Eugene
Died peacefully, January 18th, 2008, in his 94th year, after
a brief illness at Guelph General Hospital. Born January 6th,
1915, in Tuapsc, Russia, on the Black Sea, Eugene was raised
and educated in Poland. He served as a 2nd Leftenant in the Polish
Army - Artillery, was captured by the Russians in 1939 and survived
the Soviet Gulag labour camps to join the Allied Forces where
he trained as an Royal Air Force navigator. In 1950, he immigrated
to Canada and settled with his wife Janina, in Oakville, Ontario.
He worked for Sun Life Insurance, Dufferin Construction and St. Lawrence
Cement until his retirement. His zest for life was evident in
the great pleasure he found in the art and craft of every day
living. He built his own homes (Campbellville and Erin), raised
a menagerie of animals, and grew a thriving garden of fruits
and vegetables, all destined for the table. His repertoire also
included making his own sausage, smoking bacon, baking his own
rye bread, pickling mushrooms, fishing, and telling riveting
stories of his war years. He loved languages, tutoring his family
and Friends, reciting Polish poetry and practising Russian, until
his death. He also loved a good joke, a good drink, a challenging
game of bridge, and a rousing discussion with his best friend
Ludck Kraszewski, in equal measure. His tender devotion in caring
for his wife, Janina, for 15 years after her major stroke, continues
to be an inspiration to all of us.

Uncompromising, transformative professor nurtured students and
grudges across borders
Abused as a child in England, he arranged passage to Canada and
built a successful but peripatetic academic career
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page▼
S11▼
Pomp, circumstance and hooded academic gowns were the order of
the day when York University celebrated its 40th anniversary
in March, 1999. Among the invited guests was John R.
SEELEY,
the university's first professor of sociology, and a former friend
and colleague of inaugural president Murray
ROSS.
"What are you doing here?" a clearly affronted Prof.
ROSS demanded
when Prof.
SEELEY, who had travelled from his home in California,
arrived at the reception. "I was invited," Prof.
SEELEY replied.
Enraged, Prof.
ROSS threw his gown across the room and stomped
out and had to be persuaded to return, according to some of the
other guests in attendance.
Prof. ROSS was not alone in his antipathy to Prof.
SEELEY, an
elfin-like man of diminutive stature (5 foot 4 at a stretch)
but outsized moral and intellectual presence. His maddening refusal
to compromise personal ethical standards led to his abrupt departure
from teaching positions at several universities. Senior bureaucrats
at two Ontario universities vetoed decisions to hire him despite
his reputation as a top sociologist who eventually had more than
400 publications, including Crestwood Heights: A North American
Suburb, Community Chest: A Case Study in Philanthropy, and a
collection of psychological essays, The Americanization of the
Unconscious.
But the same qualities that frightened administrators and branded
him a troublemaker often made him a transformative influence.
His capacity for listening, his respect for the individual and
his ability to nurture ideas and people, especially children
and young adults, made him a moral beacon for many.
"He was more important in my life than either of my parents,"
criminal lawyer Clayton
RUBY said in an interview.
"He picked up everything I was concerned about before I'd finished
the sentence and replied, as always, with astute, sensitive advice,"
said journalist Rick
SALUTIN, who, like Mr.
RUBY, was a student
at York in the early 1960s. "I have no idea what I'll do for
advice without him."
Prof. SEELEY grew up physically and emotionally abused in England,
experiences that shaped his academic interests as a sociologist,
his therapeutic approach as a psychoanalyst and his world view
as a citizen.
"It was pretty plain to those of us who knew him that his traumatic
and terrible childhood gave birth to a lifelong commitment to
treating children well, respecting them as people and honouring
their right to be free from abuse," his son Ron said. "The way
that he started out being treated as a child, without any recognition
of who he was, made him thirsty for knowledge and made him recognize
the importance of the emotional nurturing of children."
John Ronald
SEELEY was born in the Hampstead area of London in
1913, the second of four sons, to Emil
FRIEDEBERG, a German businessman
who was a principal in a European commodities firm centred in
Antwerp.
His mother, Lilly
SEELEY, was a wealthy Edwardian society
woman who may have been mentally ill. The family probably took
her last name because of anti-German sentiment during the First
World War.
Young John was beaten and abandoned for long stretches by his
mother. After his father died when John was 8, he was sent to
a boarding school in Heidelberg, Germany, where he was the youngest
pupil by far and unable to speak the language. At 12, he was
brought back to England and sent to another boarding school,
where the headmaster taught him practical life skills and encouraged
him to read, to think for himself and to take pride in his intellectual
abilities. John was 15 when he saw what was probably an ad offering
passage to Canada and the prospect of land for those willing
to work as farm labourers for a specified period of time.
Seeing this as a way to escape his mother, John arranged his
passage and worked as a farm labourer for three years, and, with
the help of a local Presbyterian minister, completed his high-school
education. He moved to Toronto in 1931 and found work as a printer's
devil at a graphic arts firm called Rolf Clark Stone. Eventually,
he worked his way up to export manager and into the affections
of secretary Margaret Mary
DEROCHER.
Mr.
SEELEY left in 1940 to
study at the University of Chicago, where he earned a bachelor's
degree. He returned to Toronto in 1942, enlisted in the army
as a second lieutenant and eventually worked his way up to staff
captain. He didn't fight overseas, although he was shipped to
London on a short-term project that included a progressive attempt
to deal with what we now call post-traumatic stress syndrome
and postwar planning for veterans.
In 1943, he and Ms.
DEROCHER married in Toronto. Between 1944 and
1955, they had four sons: John, David, Ronald and Peter. After
demobilization, he returned to the University of Chicago and
began work on his doctorate in sociology. He returned to Toronto
in 1949 without having completed his dissertation and took a
job as executive director of what is now the Canadian Mental
Health Association.
He was also teaching part-time in the psychiatry and sociology
departments of the University of Toronto, separate departments
that he believed for the rest of his life should be combined.
These were also the years when he was researching social mores
in Toronto's Forest Hill Village, then studying fundraising methods
in Indiana. The
SEELEYs moved back to Toronto in late 1956 and
he took a job as director of research for what is now the Centre
for Addiction and Mental Health. That same year, Crestwood Heights
was published by the University of Toronto Press. The book, based
on his five-year study of Forest Hill (the area was not named),
described men working extremely hard to maintain a luxurious
lifestyle, wives trained to support their husbands by cultivating
social connections, and children inculcated with the same mores
so they, too, would learn to value social prestige and wealth.
It was a hugely influential book. The following year, the University
of Toronto published Community Chest, an examination of organized
fundraising in Indianapolis and community perceptions of its
effectiveness.
While teaching at the U of T, Prof.
SEELEY became friendly with
Dr. ROSS, a professor of social work. They talked about the issues
of the day, including new approaches to education, given the
huge wave of children born after the Second World War who were
approaching university age. Many of them felt entitled to higher
education and wanted a voice in what and how they were taught.
In the preface to The New University (a collection of his speeches
that amounted to a draft plan for York University,) Prof.
ROSS
emphasized the beneficial effects of the more intimate setting
of a liberal arts college, acknowledging his debt to Prof.
SEELEY
for "reading, and commenting on, many of these speeches in their
original form."
After Prof.
ROSS was named the inaugural president of York in
1959, he invited Prof.
SEELEY to join him there as professor
of sociology. Within three years, the two men were bitterly and
publicly estranged, essentially over the institution's size and
nature. By 1963, 10 of the 43-member faculty had resigned, several
out of dissatisfaction with Prof.
ROSS's leadership and what
they felt was muddled thinking and misplaced priorities in turning
the university into a massive educational factory. Historian
Michiel Horn, author of a forthcoming history of York University,
and political scientist Denis
SMITH, who served as the university's
first registrar, both stated in interviews that amid the challenge
to find faculty, establish a curriculum and educate students,
Prof. ROSS had a tendency to say what he thought people wanted
to hear.
As the relationship soured, Prof.
SEELEY arranged to be a visiting
professor in the sociology department at Brandeis University
for the 1963-64 academic year. While teaching at Brandeis, he
resigned from York. The following year, he was a visiting fellow
at California's Stanford University, and returned to Brandeis
in 1965 as chair of the sociology department. Within a short
time, he was at odds with the administration over his political
activism against the Vietnam War. He objected vociferously to
the university sharing students' personal information (including
grades) with the Selective Service System, which administered
the military draft.
For most of the next decade, Prof.
SEELEY moved his family back
and forth across the United States as he took up what invariably
turned into short-term appointments at a variety of institutions,
including the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions,
a liberal think tank founded by educational philosopher Robert
Hutchins in Santa Barbara, California. This didn't last long,
as Prof. Hutchins reorganized the centre two years later after
a philosophical and economic parting of the ways that saw many
fellows depart, including Prof.
SEELEY, and others join, including
Alexander Comfort, later the author of The Joy of Sex, and Stanford
biologist Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb.
Prof. SEELEY yearned to return to Canada, especially Toronto,
but his dissident political activity and fractious reputation
apparently mitigated against formal invitations. He was a "lightening
rod," said Ron
SEELEY. "He was just too hot for many people in
staid institutions to handle."
Nevertheless, he was offered a faculty position in the sociology
department at the University of Toronto in May, 1974, which was
overruled by senior administrators. Then, a search committee
from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education chose him
to fill a sociology department vacancy, but this, too, was vetoed
by a senior executive after education minister Thomas Wells telephoned
Ontario Institute for Studies in Education director Robert Jackson
to pass on negative comments about Prof.
SEELEY.
Amid student
and faculty protests, The Globe and Mail wrote an editorial asking
whether Mr. Wells had improperly influenced the decision.
Prof. SEELEY, by then 61, finished his academic career at Charles
Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles as a professor
of sociology. He finally received his doctorate (philosophy -
social sciences) from International College on January 15, 1975.
At 65, he retired and began a new career as a psychoanalyst in
private practice under a supervising analyst.
In his last years, he became a devout member of his local Episcopal
Church and maintained Friendships with family and Friends.
"It was a wonderful experience to be his child," Ron
SEELEY said.
"The breadth of his knowledge and his intellect were amazing.
It was interesting as he was ill and passing - you could feel
all of what he had distributed around the world coming back toward
him in letters, visits and phone calls, and so many of them said
the same thing: that he had touched their lives in a way that
nobody else had and that he was like a father to them."
John Ronald
SEELEY was born in London on February 21, 1913. He
died at Saint_John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California., on
December 16, 2007, after a short illness. He was 94. Predeceased
by his wife and his siblings, he is survived by four sons, six
grandchildren and extended family.

Val ROSS, 57: Journalist And Author
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page▲▼
S11▲
An award-winning journalist with a lyrical style, a passion for
the arts, an acute ear for dialogue and a prodigious memory for
arcane details, Val
ROSS was a reporter's reporter.
"She knew everyone and everything and she managed to use her
sources and her knowledge to advantage, but without ever compromising
her sources or cheating her readers," said Edward
GREENSPON,
editor-in-chief of The Globe and Mail. "She had a disarming manner,
but she was tough and she wrote the truth."
While undergoing treatment for brain cancer, Ms.
ROSS sent Mr.
GREENSPON
an e-mail urging him to expand the newspaper's coverage of native
people. "You really should do this," she wrote. "Attention must
be paid." And then in her typically wry way, she talked about
the ravages of brain cancer by writing, "I have lost balance
a lot, but I bet you always suspected I leaned to the left."
Ms. ROSS was born in Toronto on October 17, 1950, the elder child
and only daughter of Erma and Jack
ROSS.
She went to the Institute
of Child Study and Jarvis Collegiate. As talented with a brush
as she was with a pen, she attended Saint Martin's School of Art
in London, England, after completing high school and thought
seriously about becoming a visual artist.
Nevertheless, after a year in swinging London and travelling
in Europe, she returned to Canada and entered University College
at the University of Toronto in 1969, graduating with a bachelor's
degree in 1972. She worked briefly in urban planning and then
in broadcasting at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation before
building a prolific career as a freelance writer, contributing
regularly to magazines such as Chatelaine, Saturday Night and
Toronto Life. She was a staff writer and editor for Maclean's
magazine in the late 1970s and early 1980s, before being hired
as managing editor of The Globe and Mail's now defunct Toronto
magazine. She spent the rest of her career at The Globe and Mail,
working as publishing reporter - winning a National Newspaper
Award in 1992 for critical writing - deputy editor of the Comment
section, and most recently as an arts reporter concentrating
on cultural institutions.
"I wanted her to go back to arts reporting," Mr.
GREENSPON said
yesterday, "because of her connectedness to the arts community.
She brought a lot of insight, knowledge and understanding to
her work."
An author as well as a journalist, she produced two children's
books. The Road to There, which won the $10,000 Norma Fleck Award
for Canadian Children's Non-Fiction in 2004, related the history
of cartography from early sailors mapping the world to modern
scientists charting the galaxies. Praising the book's dynamic
quality, jury members said they were "mesmerized by how beautifully
[Ms. ROSS] wove together the stories."
Two years later, Ms.
ROSS published a second children's book,
You Can't Read This, a history of banned and silenced literature.
In reviewing the book for The Globe, Deborah Ellis, herself a
prize-winning author of children's books, wrote: "The history
of books and writers is a tense, often bloody one, with poets
forced by mad emperors to commit suicide and translators burned
at the stake by religious leaders anxious to hold on to their
power. By using examples of real people facing such torments,
ROSS brings that history alive for us. This is no dry textbook.
It is a primer for anyone wanting to act with courage and needing
to know that those acts will come with a price."
In her final book, she switched to adult non-fiction by tackling
an oral history of novelist, playwright and essayist Robertson
Davies. She had almost completed a draft of Robertson Davies:
A Portrait in Mosaic, when she was diagnosed with brain cancer
the day after her 57th birthday in October, 2007.
"Raw courage is not what we associate with writing a book," her
editor Douglas Gibson said yesterday. "Yet, what I saw as Val
ROSS fought brain cancer to finish her book on Robertson Davies
left me shaken. It was a privilege to make what she teasingly
described as 'house calls' to help her see the book through the
last editing stages, and to be able to assure her just last week
that the book is very good," he said. "It is made up of many
voices recalling Davies; but the strongest, most memorable voice
throughout is Val's."
On Friday evening she collapsed and was taken to Saint_Joseph's
Hospital. Her husband and three children gathered around her
hospital bed and read some of her favourite poets aloud - E.E.
Cummings, William Carlos Williams, John Donne, and Gerard Manley
Hopkins. Ms.
ROSS, despite slurred speech from the effects of
her disease, was able to finish many of the stanzas by drawing
upon her formidable memory. The next morning she was transferred
to Saint Michael's Hospital, where that night she underwent neurosurgery
to try to give her more time with her family. Her spirit was
willing, but her heart gave out.
Valerie Jacqueline
ROSS was born in Toronto on October 17, 1950.
She died, surrounded by her family, early in the morning of February 17,
2008, at Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto, a mere four months
after having been diagnosed with brain cancer. She was 57. Ms.
ROSS
leaves her husband, Morton
RITTS, her children, Max, Maddie and
Zoe, her mother, Erma, her brother, Philip, and her extended
family. There will be a celebration of her life on Saturday,
February 23, at 3 p.m. at Massey College in Toronto.

Gladys
21 August 1918 to 9 June 2008
Unexpectedly at Tillsonburg Hospital in her 90th year. Pre-deceased
by her husband Ormond. Loving mother of David (Katherine
SPENCER-
ROSS)
and devoted Grandma of Caroline and Andrew. Last survivor of
the five McCormicks of Harrow, Ontario - Ruth, Gladys, John,
Keith and Ralph. During her long and fulfilling life Gladys was
everyone's friend. Her cheerful and caring nature brightened
the day. A farm girl by birth she had a mischievous streak and
captured Ormond's heart (and earned her father's temporary wrath)
by slipping a pen pal note into a box of tomatoes destined for
Toronto. Waiting for him to return from the war she worked as
an executive secretary at General Motors, Windsor. They married
in 1945, moving initially to St. Hyacinthe, Quebec and later
to Halifax. Two years later, when he retired from the Navy, they
settled in Weston and built a house together while she worked
at Inglis. In 1956, David was adopted and life was never the
same. A devoted mother, Gladys immersed herself in home and school
activities and was renowned for hosting innumerable school Friends
for meals and snacks. An entrepreneurial bent lay just below
the surface and she established the Relique Boutique antique
shop at Jane and Buttonwood, later renaming it Early Years and
moving it to Jane and Bloor. Spending an extra hour with clients
over a cup of tea was indicative of her ability to listen to
others and drew in many new Friends and acquaintances. On Ormond's
retirement in 1979 and the subsequent closing of their shop in
1984 they decided to move to Tillsonburg where they lived out
their remaining years in their own home entertaining Friends
and family. Special thanks to Mike and Fran, as well as Donna,
Marion,
Diane,
Doctor
DOCKX and the Community Care Access Centre
and Canadian Red Cross caregivers, whose support and efforts
made staying at home possible. Gladys will be deeply missed by

ROSS,
Claire
Isabel (née
REID)
Died June 17th in Kingston, Ontario where her devoted daughter
Cindy ensured that her final years were made comfortable. Claire
was the loving daughter of Harold and Clara
(SUTTON)
REID of
Montreal. When Claire grew up in Quebec higher education was
a luxury only the affluent could afford. She was sent to secretarial
school and then to work at an early age. However, this did not
deter her from reading widely, developing a love of poetry, and
learning everything she could. Indeed, Claire was a quick and
able student who easily mastered anything she set about to learn,
whether it was playing bridge, dancing, or learning to speak
French. Later, her children came to depend upon her ability and
strength of character. They rightly felt that she could do anything
- and do it with loving kindness and grace. She could make clothes,
hats, upholstery, draperies, pottery, all with her characteristic
beauty and elegance. Lucky recipients treasured her hand knit
sweaters as one of a kind works of art. Claire was an exceptional
and sophisticated cook, who also had flawless taste in interior
decorating; she could turn an ordinary room into a beautiful,
cozy oasis. Although Claire had a quick and lively wit, she never
criticized people or said an unkind word about anyone. She was
always cheerful and loved fun as she made everyone feel happy
and welcome while she provided endless hospitality. Her husband,
Ralph, who died in 1969, often said that the luckiest day of
his life was the day he met Claire. She is survived by her three
adoring children, Deborah
CAMPBELL (David) Fredericton, New Brunswick,
Cynthia McKEGNEY (Brian) Sydenham, Ontario, and Ian
ROSS (Cheryl)
Toronto, and her five beloved grandchildren, Kate and Neal
McKEGNEY,

Also surviving are

for whom she was a loving sister. She also helped raise two step-daughters,
Ruth LEVY and the late Mary
KELTON, who were grateful for her
compassion and generosity. She was the brilliant, shining light
of our lives and we treasure her memory. In keeping with Claire's
wishes, cremation will be followed by a private family service.
In lieu of donations, please do something kind for someone today

She turned the Gardiner Museum into a glittering, priceless gem
With the help of her wealthy stockbroker husband, she transformed
a hobby into a great ceramics collection, and then built a museum
to house it all opposite Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page▲
S10
Museum founder and philanthropist Helen
GARDINER had three lives:
before George, during George, and after George. The George was
George Ryerson
GARDINER, a business integrator, Harvard MBA
and stockbroker who founded Gardiner Group Capital, the country's
first discount brokerage, and was president of the Toronto Stock
Exchange.
Generally considered a business genius, he was a pioneer in the
oil-and-gas business, opened the first airport hotel in Canada,
was a key player in bringing Kentucky Fried Chicken north of
the 49th parallel, established Gardiner Farms, the racing stable
and breeding farm, and was one of the original members of the
syndicate that owned Northern Dancer. "He didn't start with nothing,"
a former business associate said, "but he multiplied it many
times over."
Ms. GARDINER, by contrast, came from humble circumstances, and
was a single parent working as a secretary in Mr.
GARDINER's
brokerage firm when they met. With Mr.
GARDINER's support, she
became a mature student at York University and took the decorative
arts course at Christie's in London, England. Having acquired
professional expertise - her impeccable eye for quality was innate
- she and her husband amassed a huge and very valuable collection
of porcelain and earthenware, then built a museum to house it.
Nevertheless, he was always the public face and voice of the
Gardiner
Museum.
After Mr.
GARDINER died in December, 1997, she
emerged as a fundraiser, philanthropist and connoisseur who transformed
the Gardiner from a mausoleum for a private collection into a
dynamic, innovative and internationally prized museum. She also
developed her own interests in the National Ballet School and
other art forms such as opera, becoming so fond of Wagner's Ring
Cycle that she was known as a "Ring" addict.
"The Gardiner Museum was her No. 1 passion, but the National
Ballet School was a close second," said Margaret McCain, former
chair of the board of the National Ballet School and former lieutenant-governor
of New Brunswick.
"Helen had moral integrity and she also had a lot of fortitude,"
said Ms. McCain, describing her friend as fun with a wonderful
laugh and a complete lack of pretension. "She was grounded and
she was able to hold on to her own identity even if she was in
George's shadow for a long time. There was a strength there and
I used to say, 'You are your own person, kind and gentle, but
strong inside.' "
Tony ARRELL, a former Chief Executive Officer of Gardiner Watson
and a director of Gardiner Group Capital said: "When you have
a tree growing under a big tree, the big tree shades the little
tree, but when you take the big tree out, the little tree can
grow up - and that is what has been happening with Helen. She
has proven to be a stronger character with a greater ability
than many people thought," he said. "There has been a lot more
to Helen GARDINER in the last 10 years than we ever knew before."
Helen Elizabeth
McMINN was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, the
year before the Second World War began. Her father Charles was
a carpenter at one of the gold mines, while her mother Helen
was a homemaker. The McMinns moved south to Toronto, where Mr.
McMINN
worked for General Electric at its Davenport Works until he retired.
Their two children, Helen and Bob, went to high school in Toronto,
and then Bob joined the military. Helen's daughter Lindy
BARROW,
who was born in 1958, lived with her grandparents until she was
10 while Ms.
McMINN, a single parent, worked at various jobs
in advertising and as a legal secretary to support her daughter
and save enough money to provide a home for them both.
In the second half of the 1960s, she met George
GARDINER when
she was hired as a secretary at Gardiner Watson, the stock brokerage
that he and a partner had founded just after the Second World
War. At the time, she was in her late 20s and Mr.
GARDINER (who
was known to enjoy, discreetly, the company of beautiful women)
was in his early 50s, married and the father of three children.
Not long before, in July, 1965, his formidable father Percy,
a financier, had died of a heart attack. This death may have
liberated Mr.
GARDINER, who had had a fractious relationship
with his father and had always felt the need to show that he
could be even more successful in business.
"He once said that Helen was the first person that he laid eyes
on as he was coming out from under this oppression that he had
been under for so many years," according to Gretchen
ROSS, a
long-time friend. Their relationship led to the breakup of Mr.
GARDINER's
marriage.
In the mid-1970s, they moved into a house on Old Forest Hill
Road in Toronto. He bought the property, razed the existing house
and built a new one with lead-lined walls - he had acute hearing
and didn't want to be disturbed by the neighbours. Mr.
GARDINER
and his first wife had bought some pre-Colombian earthenware
in South America, and he decided that he and Ms.
McMINN should
"collect something unique to make our house look lived in," she
said later. He wanted it to have "quality, individuality and
his personal stamp." Naively, as she later admitted, they hit
on ceramics.
Two years later, inflation was escalating. Mr.
GARDINER, an astute
and thrifty businessman, read an article asserting that Chinese
and European porcelain were outperforming stocks, bonds and real
estate, and he decided it was time to turn their hobby into an
investment. Helen, who had been studying as a mature student
at York University since 1974, switched tacks and went to London
in 1978 to take Christie's Fine Arts Course. A year later, she
was both an expert and a qualified dealer who could buy ceramics
at wholesale prices.
Their first mature purchase was a hand-painted, highly decorated
yellow tea-and-chocolate service made in 1740 by Meissen, the
earliest factory in Europe to produce hard-paste porcelain. On
the advice of a Sotheby's porcelain expert, Helen had gone to
see the 50-piece set, complete with its original leather travelling
case, at Winifred Williams Antiques on Bury Street in London.
She persuaded Mr.
GARDINER to look at the Meissen service and
to meet dealer Robert Williams. Without telling her, he bought
the service. And so the Gardiners began their long association
with Mr. Williams and transformed themselves into serious collectors.
As she said later, "Bob taught me how to really look at things.
He was generous with his knowledge and showed me how to identify
artists and factories by the distinctive characteristics of their
work."
From Meissen, the couple began accumulating works made by Du
Paquier, the second factory in Europe to produce hard-paste porcelain
in the 18th century, and pieces called Hausmaler, a term used
to describe ceramics decorated by studio artists who painted
or redecorated porcelain produced by factories such as Meissen
or Du Paquier. As always, they kept a judicious eye on their
passions and their bottom line, collecting Du Paquier because
it was undervalued, and Hausmaler for its variety, eccentric
charm and the stories about subterfuge, espionage and larceny
swirling around the pieces - how artists "acquired" undecorated
wares from the studios that employed them and then painted them
with their own designs.
During her Christie's course in London, Helen was seduced by
the lush sensual colours and painterly decoration of Italian
Maiolica.
She took Mr.
GARDINER to see the Maiolica collection
at the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington and he
too was entranced. Encouraged by a lull in the market for Maiolica,
Mr. GARDINER began buying at auction or through their retinue
of international dealers.
By the early 1980s, the Gardiners - they had married on July 11,
1981, at least a dozen years after they first met - were running
out of display and storage room in their home. With the help
of entertainment lawyer and ceramics collector Aaron
MILRAD,
the determined and persuasive Mr.
GARDINER set about acquiring
the land and the political approvals to establish his own museum.
In 1981, the Ontario government, led by premier Bill Davis, unanimously
passed Bill 183 to create The George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic
Art as an independent, public institution. Doctor Murray Ross helped
the Gardiners acquire a tennis court on the east side of Queen's
Park, directly opposite the Royal Ontario Museum, from the University
of Toronto. Mr.
GARDINER paid $500,000 to lease the land for
99 years.
Three years later, architect Keith
WAGLAND and designer Robert
MEIKELJOHN's $6-million building was ready. The George R. Gardiner
Museum, showcasing some 3,000 objets valued at between $16-million
and $25-million from the Gardiners' personal collection, officially
opened on Saturday, March 3, 1984, with an additional $2.5-million
operating grant from its benefactors to celebrate the occasion.
Initially, the Gardiners were as naive about operating a museum
as they had been about ceramics. They didn't have nearly enough
staff, went through three directors in their first year and underestimated
their operating and exhibition costs. After unsuccessfully petitioning
the Liberal provincial government for more money, the museum
was advised by premier David Peterson to merge with the Royal
Ontario Museum in 1987. "I have learned it is very, very difficult
to compete with other museums," Mr.
GARDINER, a man known for
his independence, said at an emotional press conference called
to announce the merger.
"The government decided we needed the Royal Ontario Museum's
management expertise," Ms.
GARDINER told The Globe in 2006. But
it wasn't always a comfortable relationship. For an independent
museum to be put under the control of another much larger one
was akin to an adult daughter moving back into her parents' house
with her children after a messy divorce.
The Royal Ontario Museum saw the Gardiner as an adjunct, housing
yet another of its many collections, but the Gardiner longed
to flex its curatorial wings. Mr.
GARDINER, who was succeeded
as chair of the board by his wife in 1994, bought back the museum's
independence with a $15-million endowment (raising his investment
in his own museum to about $50-million). It was announced in
January, 1997, just 11 months before Mr.
GARDINER died of complications
from arthritis and heart disease.
The strain of caring for her husband in his last years when he
was ill and "difficult" and dealing with his estate after his
death made her so nervous that her throat muscles tightened up
and she had trouble speaking above a whisper, Ms. Ross said.
It was only recently that doctors found a solution - periodic
shots of Botox and a regime of throat exercises - that enabled
Ms. GARDINER to speak normally again.
In the decade of her widowhood, Ms.
GARDINER threw herself into
the museum and into the National Ballet School, where she had
sat on the board since 1990. "She invested a lot more than money
- she invested herself in the life of the school and the lives
of the students," said Ms. McCain. "She took on a student and
stayed with that student and became a mentor and a guide and
a friend."
Under Ms. GARDINER's direction, the museum built up its membership
lists again and stretched beyond the personal vision of its founders.
The Gardiner began accepting other collections, such as Doctor Hans
Syz's German porcelain and Murray and Ann Bell's trove of Chinese
blue-and-white porcelain. It expanded its mandate to include
modern and contemporary pieces from collectors, such as Mr.
MILRAD,
and began organizing exhibitions of work by living artists.
Ms. GARDINER was chair until 1999 and vice-chair for the next
two years, during which time the museum received a Lieutenant-Governor's
Award for the Arts for building private sector and community
support, showing fiscal responsibility and expanding its audience
(from 20,000 to 60,000 visitors annually), using pottery classes
for children and exhibitions such as Maya Universe, Miro: Playing
with Fire and Harlequin Unmasked. In 2002, she accepted the position
of honorary chair and led the museum's fundraising and expansion
campaign to raise $12.8-million from the private sector, in addition
to $6-million in grants from the Ontario and Canadian governments.
The museum closed from 2004 to 2006 for a nearly $20-million
renovation undertaken by Kuwabara, Payne, McKenna and Blumberg
Architects. The renovation added a glass-encased third floor,
restaurant and roof terraces, increased exhibition space by 50 per
cent, added a research library and expanded the museum shop and
the basement studio to accommodate artists in residence and more
pottery classes.
"In the last 10 years, she started to develop her own interests
and her own ability to reach out for things that she would never
have looked at before. And then she got sick," said Mr.
MILRAD,
vice-chair of the board. "She had an integrity that was recognized
and it is going to be extremely difficult for us to raise the
kind of money that she was able to raise through her contacts
and her own strength of character."
Falling terminally ill was a shock to Ms.
GARDINER, who had always
planned to live well into her 90s, just as her mother has done.
In the first week of May, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
After seeking treatment at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Ms.
GARDINER
began a rigorous course of chemotherapy. But she soon decided
to suspend treatment, since it wasn't working and it was making
her feel very ill. Instead, she let "nature take its course,"
as she told her Friends and family.
Helen Elizabeth
GARDINER, C.M., was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario,
on July 18, 1938. She died of pancreatic cancer at the family
farm in Caledon East on July 22, 2008. She was 70. Predeceased
by husband George
GARDINER, she is survived by daughter Lindy
BARROW, mother Helen
McMINN, brother Bob
McMINN and extended
family.
The funeral will take place on Monday, July 28, at 11 a.m. in
Toronto's Saint_James Cathedral.
