George married Bertha Legaarden in 1941, at which time he was working at Reliance Grain Company in Abernethy. After military service in Canada (1943-45), he worked for the Western Grain Company in Abernethy until 1947 before venturing into small business, briefly owning first a furniture store and then a hardware store where he also conducted bulk fuel business.

RATCLIFFE, Jack (LT. CDR) March 8, 1916 ~ October 16, 2009 Our wonderful Dad, known to many as "Big Jack ", has passed away, leaving his daughters, Judy and Nancy (Barry); grandchildren, Catherine (Mike), Jennifer (Stephen) and Dexter, and greatgrandchildren, Emma, Devan and Dublin. What an amazing ride! Dad began his life in Winnipeg where he was schooled and was trained as a machinist. The call came to serve his country and he joined the Navy in 1939. Little did he know the kind of drama which would unfold on the North Atlantic. German UBoats, convoys, storms, 30' troughs ~ chilling times! Dad rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander and served as the engineer on many fine ships, from the Restigouche, the Ft. William to the Cape Scott. After a short stint with the CPR, he chose the Dockyard as his next career challenge. Dad led them through some troubled times as their Chief Industrial Engineer, using his often heard philosophy ~ Lead, Follow or Get Out Of The Way! He retired at the mere age of 65 years young, but not for long. His love of work and comradery led him to another career as the Power Winch Warranty Rep for Payne's Marine. His business card and motto were: "Have Machine ~ Will Lathe ". Between all those decades of work, Dad still managed to follow his true passion for the outdoors. Whether hunting the Gore in Nova Scotia or fishing the Westcoast for those big springs, he was a true outdoorsman. We will all miss the stories and "never politically correct " jokes! The memories will never stop for everyone who loved this great man, all 6'6 " of him, or 5'18 " as he was so fond of saying. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Big Jack's life on Sunday, October 25, 2009, 2 5 pm, at 1857 Crescent Rd., Victoria, BC. 565631 Published in the Victoria Times-Colonist on 10/21/2009

ROY, Michael David Joseph - August 31, 1937 - October 15, 2009 - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Roy, age 72, on October 15, 2009. He leaves behind a legacy of dignity, integrity, intelligence and strength with which he has served as a gifted guide for his wife, children, family and friends. Michael (Mike) was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the oldest of five children. He grew up in Kenora, Ontario and attended Kenora Keewatin District High School where he distinguished himself as an exceptional athlete and student. He attended Queens University, obtained his C.A. designation and worked with Dunwoody and Co., and as the Superintendent of Business with the Boards of Education in Kenora, Grey County and Peel Region. He was noted in his career for his quick intelligence, confident leadership and the respectful dialogue he brought to all matters large and small. In doing so, he made a significant contribution to the field of education in Ontario. Mike met his first wife, Lois Rogiani, in high school in Kenora. His compliment in every way, Mike's quiet calmness was balanced by Lois' outgoing energy and together they sang and danced their 34 years together with great groups of friends in Kenora, Owen Sound and Oakville, Ontario. Their summers were spent at “camp” on Coney Island on Lake of the Woods, a place where they created very special family memories. Mike and Lois had three children, Catherine, Jane and Stephen Roy. Mike's role in his children's lives was significant: he led by example, never with comment or criticism. His faith in all of his kids was powerful, allowing them to flounder and flourish with an underlying confidence in their abilities to do well and to do right. This life lesson is one his children hope to pass on to their father's ten grandchildren, all of whom possess a deep respect and love for their “Grandpa Roy”. In 1998, Mike met and married Dorothy Plante. He was blessed to have had the opportunity to spend the last eleven years of his life with his best friend, Dottie. Together they enjoyed an active social life of golf and tennis at their home in Naples, Florida and in the summer months, quiet leisurely days in Wiarton, Ontario. Dorothy's energy, initiative and intelligence invigorated both of their lives and their love and deep care for one another was a blessing to both of them. It is with profound sadness that Dorothy says goodbye to her life's partner. Michael will be deeply missed by many. He leaves behind his wife Dorothy, his children Catherine (Michael Bradley), Jane (Angus Tucker) and Stephen Roy (Heather Upton); his ten grandchildren Nicholas, Sean, Alexandra and Mathew Bradley, James, Mary Jane and Jack Tucker, and Luke, Sam, and Ella Roy; his brothers Paul (Phyllis), Philip (Glenda) and John (Darly) Roy and his sister-in-law Lori (Malcolm) Brown, his father-in-law, Peter Plante as well as his many nieces and nephew; he is predeceased by his first wife Lois Roy (Rogiani), his parents, Marcel and Nora Roy, his sister, Mary Theresa Roy and his in-laws, Edna and Emile Rogiani and Helen Plante. Our family would like to express our appreciation for the compassionate care Michael received from Dr. Newton, Dr. Johnson and their staff at the GBHS Owen Sound Hospital. A family service was held on Monday October 19, 2009 at St. Dominic Roman Catholic Church in Oakville, Ontario. If you wish, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario: P.O. Box 7008, Station Main, London, Ontario N5Y 5W7 or the Ontario Lung Association, 573 King Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M5A 4L3. Email condolences may be made through www.koprivataylor.com
