IRWIN,
John▼
In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grand father,
John (Ted), who left us March 5, 2005.
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our mind
For the days we do not think of you
Are impossible to find.
Time slips by but the memories stay
Happy thoughts of time together
Quietly remembered every day
with memories that will last forever.
May the winds of love flow softly
And whisper so you'll hear
We will always love and miss you
And wish that you were here.
- Loved and remembered by Marian, Sharee, Denise, Tracey, Dean
and families.

There is a bridge of memories from here to heaven above

Except to wish with all our hearts, That you were here today.

member of the local Rotary Club and a long-time member of the
Markdale Country Club. He and Edel retired to Kitchener in 1985,
wintering in Florida for sixteen years. Earl's declining health
necessitated his move to long term care and he resided at The

Thank you all for coming today and being with us and letting.
me come up here and talk about my Dad. My Dad was the best Dad
in the whole world. He liked to hang out with his Friends, Billy
Jeny, Darryl and Kelly and always had time for me and Myles and
Mom.
Dad liked to go for drives in the car and he was always looking
for big Bucks. I have many special memories about my Dad. He
was awesome! I have a favourite memory to tell you about when
my Dad shot his deer. My Dad always sat under the same apple
tree waiting for the perfect Buck. One day this perfect Buck
came along and Dad shot it with his 30-30. But the stubborn deer
got back up and ran away. My Dad could not find the deer so he
came to get me and his friend Jim. We went out looking for the
deer in the fields for two hours. I found the deer first and
it was so sweet! We put the deer in the back of the truck but
then the truck got stuck! Finally we went to Grandpa's and hung
the deer from a tree so my Dad could clean the deer. I helped
Dad by spraying the inside of the deer with the hose. Dad always
wanted me and Myles to have fun. Dad loved our little dog Rocky
and then our big dog Molly. He loved all our cats especially
Tigger and Bear. Since Dad went to the nursing home to live two
and a half years ago, life has been very different for us. My
mom and sometimes Uncle Shane, took us at least twice a week.
These were always good visits. I think my dad's favourite saying
in the last few months was "Dylan and Myles Dylan and Myles,
Dylan and Myles." In the last few months, things for Dad changed
a lot. The effects of the disease were really beginning to show
up. While we could not always understand Dad when he spoke to
us we could tell by his eyes that he still knew us. While this
got harder to watch, we still knew that Dad loved us and we loved
him. In our journey as a family, this past week has been the
hardest. Myles and I got to see Dad alive two weeks ago Monday.
Since that time Dad got worse each day and at ten to one on Wednesday
morning my Dad died. While it is hard to say goodbye to Dad,
his story is different from others. He died with faith in Jesus
Christ and with the promise of heaven. One day, because of Jesus
Christ I know that Mom and I and Myles will see Dad again. And
I know this because we have each given our hearts to Jesus. Dad,
we will miss you a lot.
Good bye&hellip

HUTCHINSON/HUTCHISON,
Margarita
Margarita passed away on April 29th, 2008 after a five-year fight
against multiple myeloma. Margarita was born July 22, 1948 and
lived in Owen Sound; the longest and most satisfying time of
her shortened life. She is survived by her beloved husband William
and her children Tiffany of Vancouver, Adam of California and
Cassandra and her husband Kevin
IRWIN of Kitchener. She was the
proud grandmother of Ethan, Max and Ryan
IRWIN of Kitchener.
Also survived by her mother Marie
LIEKNINS of Owen Sound and
her brother Uldis and his wife Lynda and their children Ellen,
David and Christina. Margarita engaged life, full of passion
throughout her many endevours. As a graduate of Humber College,
her flare for colour in the fashion world was evident in the
twelve years that she owned and operated Wray's Ladies Wear.
Special thanks to the dedicated souls who run the Oncology Unit
in Owen Sound led by Doctor
QAWI and her wonderful support team.
The personal support and love demonstrated by Doctor
HUFF will never
be forgotten. There were many good times during Margarita's five-year
fight against cancer; all due to the efforts of the wonderful
health network in the Owen Sound area and the care and knowledge
of the staff at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. We are
truly blessed. Margarita will be missed greatly by all who had
the opportunity to share moments of her life. A private family
funeral has taken place. Donations for the fight against cancer
would be appreciated and may be made through the Tannahill Funeral
Home 519-376-3710.

(HOWSON)
Wife, mother, grandmother, social worker, board chair, teacher,
activist, photographer, humanitarian. Born September 11, 1928,
in Utica, New York Died January 4 in Toronto of leukemia, aged
By Neal IRWIN,
Page

From an early age, Carol wanted to nurture and help children.
After earning a bachelor of arts in child study from Vassar College
in Poughkeepsie, New York she obtained a master's degree in social
work from the University of Toronto. Over the next eight years,
Carol was a social worker for the Children's Aid Society in Toronto.
It was at the end of this period that she met Neal. They married
in 1960 and had four children: Chris, Anne, Arthur and Alex.
While at home raising the children, Carol began building a remarkable
collection of children's books and became a talented photographer.
She was also an active volunteer, serving on numerous boards
of agencies involved in the care of children, including daycare
centres, child guidance programs and the Children's Aid Society,
where she later served as chairwoman of the board.
She was a political activist for high-quality, publicly funded
daycare. Her children have vivid memories of marching in demonstrations
alongside their mother.
Carol had a remarkable ability to find humour in almost any situation.
When she found one of her young children covered head to toe
in zinc oxide ointment, smearing the cream all over the floor,
her instinct was not to scold but to reach for her camera. Caught
in the Act was the title of the resulting photo.
When her children reached their teenage years, Carol became a
teacher in the social service worker program at Humber College.
Her love for teaching was matched by her students' love for her.
Later, after her son Alex came out as being gay, she served as
president of the Toronto chapter of PFLAG: Parents, Families
and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. The enormous value Carol placed
on celebrating diversity, and fighting for the rights of all
people, made this cause an easy fit.
Carol had an expansive view of family that extended well beyond
the walls of her home, a place that became known to many neighbours
as Hotel Irwin. It was a hotel with an incredibly lax checkout
policy, as Carol opened it to any and all, whether a visiting
relative or a troubled teen in need of a safe haven.
She was a surrogate mother, supporting those she took under her
wing emotionally and sometimes financially. For Carol, being
a mother was the most important job of her life. She had enough
love to go around.
Carol endured extremely tough battles over the last 10 years
of her life, coping with breast cancer followed by a brain tumour,
a small stroke, diabetes and finally acute myeloid leukemia.
But her humour and optimism never faltered.
Neal IRWIN is Carol's husband.

Ross IRWIN: 87
Flier won DFM in Royal Air Force, then became Navy Doctor
By Tom HAWTHORN,
Page
S10
Victoria -- Ross Irwin, who has died, aged 87, was a bomber airman
decorated for his bravery during an attack by a German fighter.
On the night of January 21, 1944, a Halifax bomber piloted by
R.N. Shard of No. 78 Squadron of the Royal Air Force joined a
major raid on Magdeburg, Germany. Mr.
IRWIN was flight engineer.
Their heavy bomber came under a prolonged attacked by a night
fighter, suffering extensive damage as 20 mm cannon shells ripped
into the fuselage. "The astrodome was shot away, the mid-upper
and rear turrets were put out of action and the hydraulic gear
was damaged," the Royal Air Force report states. "The port outer
propeller blade was also damaged."
As the enemy fighter continued attacking, Mr.
IRWIN stood so
that his head stuck out of the broken dome. From this precarious
vantage point, unprotected from the elements, he gave directions
to aid the pilot in evading the attacking fighter.
The crippled craft eventually eluded the enemy, landing in England
despite damaged flaps and two blown tires on the landing gear.
Only two of four engines were working.
Mr. IRWIN, a flight sergeant, was awarded the Distinguished Flying
Medal for his courage and devotion to duty.
Ross Barrett
IRWIN was born June 6, 1921, at Sarnia, Ontario
A sheet-metal worker at the de Havilland airplane plant, he enlisted
in Toronto in August, 1940. After the war, he joined the navy
and studied medicine, becoming an anesthetist. He served as a
commanding officer at three military hospitals.
Mr. IRWIN died at his home in Victoria on July 15. He leaves
Elfrieda (STUHLMILLER,) his wife of 62 years.
