GRAEME ANDREW TYM- It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Graeme Andrew Tym at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital on December 20, 2007. He was 86. Graeme was the beloved husband of Ena for over 65 years and devoted father of Jane Clarke (John), Geoffrey Tym, Peter Tym (Barbara), and Diane Tym Doucette (Steve). He was proud grandfather of Cheryl, John Jr., Michael, James, David, Simon and Olivia, and great-grandfather of Amanda, Emily, Michael, Gabrielle and Charlotte. A loving leader to his family, a dear friend of many, and a true inspiration to everyone who knew him, Graeme could always be relied upon to lend a helping hand. He will be sadly missed. Born March 8, 1921 in Lancashire, England, Graeme's family migrated to the Greater London area in 1923. It was here, in the tumultuous climate of the Second World War, that Graeme's strength of character, one of his many endearing qualities, emerged as a defining factor in his life. Losing his left eye at age 19, to a bomb that landed at his Twickenham home, did not prevent Graeme from proudly serving his country in the Royal Air Force. Graeme was over the moon when he married Ena Mable Small of Richmond Surrey in 1942. The two remained devoted to each other forever after. In 1950, Graeme undertook the challenge of immigrating to Canada. Leaving wife and children temporarily behind, he set out on a journey that would ultimately result in his family calling Hamilton, Ontario home, residing for several years in the house that Graeme had built for them. Utilising his electrical trade, Graeme enjoyed a successful 25-year career at Burlington Steel (Slater), retiring at the young age of 54. Never one to sit still, Graeme moved into the next phase of his life with the trademark passion that always drove him forward, this time embracing his love of sailing. Boarding his 33 foot yacht in Hamilton harbour and venturing as far as the Bahamas, Graeme's years spent aboard the aptly named "Freedom" with his beloved wife Ena stand as a perfect snapshot of 86 years lived with profound levels of pride, ambition, leadership and love. Graeme and Ena resided in Oakville, Ontario for the past 25 years, where he was actively involved in the community. A Freemason throughout his adult life, Graeme was a member and Past Master of the Meridian Lodge of Dundas, Ontario. Graeme is predeceased by his father Thompson, mother Esther Elizabeth, and brother Norman of the United Kingdom. An unforgettable influence in all of our lives, he will remain in our hearts forever. MacLEAN, Mary (Furniss)- On Tuesday, January 1, 2008 at the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital in her 90th year, Marie passed away peacefully in her sleep. Devoted and caring wife of the late James A. MacLean, OBE (2002), beloved mother of Alison (Ken McKenzie) and Ian (Joanne). Cherished Granny to Jamie McKenzie (Jen), Michelle (Andrew Jarvis), Christopher McKenzie, Andrea MacLean (Jamie Pistilli), Erin and Hilary. Adoring Great Granny to Benjamin and Caitlin Jarvis, Isabella Pistilli and Spencer McKenzie. "Marie bravely endured Alzheimer's disease for her last five years and now is peacefully with Jim on their continuing journeys together." Many thanks to Dr. Gail Macpherson and the care givers at Sunrise of Oakville. A memorial service will be held on Friday, January 11, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. at the Ward Funeral Home "Oakville Chapel" (109 Reynolds Street, Oakville). Dona- tions to the Alzheimer's Society, or a charity of your choice would be appreciat- ed. Condolences to the family may be sent to [email protected] MEREDITH, Rosie May- Peacefully, in her sleep, at the Oakville Trafalgar Hospital, Oakville, ON., on Wednesday, December 26, 2007 in her 92nd year.

Beloved husband of Betty (née Perdue) for 62 years, loving father of Jeanine, Douglas, and Graham, and their respective partners, Don Thompson, Domenica and Rosemary; grandfather of Cathy Monteith (Mark) and James McKay (Cindy); Kristi, Jenny, Douglas and John Tough, Ginny Homewood (Josh), Lindsay (Alex Friel), Lesley, and Graham Tough; and extended family Kaelen (Paul Stephens), Christopher, Rob (Anna Escher) and Michelle Thompson: great grandfather of Adam and Ellie Monteith and Liam McKay, brother of Barbara Jones of St. Catharines and uncle to Susan McGrail-Haggar. Brother in law to Dorothy Martyn of Mississauga and Uncle to Jennifer & John. Born in Montréal to Ernest and Lucy Davis Tough he moved to Toronto where he was captain of his football team at Vaughan Road Collegiate and also played for the University of Toronto where he graduated in Metallurgical Engineering in 4T4. He held executive positions with Westinghouse Canada in Defence Apparatus, the Motor Division, and laterally the Atomic Power Division in Port Hope. He served as joint chair of the American and Canadian Nuclear Power Associations in 1968. A fine athlete he enjoyed football, hiking, scuba-diving, skiing and golf at the Oakville Golf Club, badminton and tennis at the Oakville Club; Doug was also an avid swimmer at his beloved Balsam Lake and in their condo pool in Florida. Dad first took up tennis in his mid-forties at long Point and enjoyed the sport so much he formed at committee and funded the construction of a new second court in the centre lands. His enthusiasm for the sport and initiative led to the existence of two excellent courts enjoyed by the cottagers extensively. The Association in his honour have named the annual Cup & Saucer mixed doubles championship the "Tough Trophy".Upon his retirement he and Betty enjoyed many years of travel, to Europe, China, Russia, Indonesia and many cruises in the Caribbean, barge trips along the canals of France were a highlight. His special delights included reading in his solari- um on Spruce Street, his residence for sixty years, listening to clas- sical music in the sunroom of his cottage on Long Point, Balsam Lake and discussing philosophy with his many grandchildren during family dinners and parties. Border Collies, Raleigh, Collette and Bailey were a big part of his life as was his interest in painting where many of his family have treasured possessions of his talent. Many of Doug's friends have tokens of his artistic ability, sketches and cards etched in birch bark were his forté. For over 20 years Dad encouraged and organized family parties at Long Point, memorable events that will always be remembered and cherished by all of us. His family was his greatest dedication and our love and respect will be his finest achievement. Our special thanks to Dr. Ken Collett, for his care and support to Doug and the family, he is truly a credit to his profession. We also want to thank the many compassionate caregivers at the Ian Anderson House for their dedication and commitment in making Doug comfortable and safe during his stay at their Hospice. The Ian Anderson House is a fine facility offering a quality and dignified last stay and their efforts toward serving the positive and their beautiful environment make for comfortable qual- ity end-of-life care. Following his wishes there will be a family serv- ice only.
