Ernest Laidlaw wanted to live to be 100; it is with sadness that we announce that he died quietly at Sunnybrook Hospital, on Saturday, May 11, 2024, at the age of 96. Born in Toronto in 1927, John (as he was known by his family) spent his early years in London, England. He returned to Canada, with his parents Ernest and Hilda Laidlaw and his sisters Joanne and Marilyn, eventually settling in Westmount, Quebec.After graduating from McGill University with a PEng in 1950, Ernie (as he was known by his friends) set off on a grand adventure travelling across Europe on a motorbike, and then on to explore Australia and New Zealand. He relished his memories with the McGill Outing Club, meeting sweetheart Margaret Williston, with them marrying in fall of 1957. They flourished in Montreal, enjoying the many outdoor pursuits of skiing, hiking, canoeing and camping.In the 1970s, John and Margaret moved to Toronto, purchasing their idyllic ravine home. John worked with Ontario Hydro for many years, building and later refurbishing power plants and eventually retiring from there. Tragedy stuck on a ski vacation when Marg was swept away in an avalanche. John championed both the search as well as her recovery and rehabilitation afterwards. Together they continued their love of the outdoors, exploring Ontario as well as travelling across Europe and the Caribbean. In 1979, their daughter Gillian was welcomed to the family and was promptly bundled along for the rest of the adventures. In the 1990's, after Marg suffered a debilitating stroke, John picked up much of the household duties while encouraging her resiliency and rehabilitation.John was a strong, physical man, creating cross-country ski trails throughout his beloved ravine, tending his tomatoes and riding his bike well into his 90's. He was an avid bridge player, enjoying decades of cards with his bridge club friends. There was nothing John liked better than a good steak with a glass of red wine, except maybe building a roaring fire in his fireplace.John will be missed by his loving daughter, Gillian; his sister Marilyn and husband Cal, several nieces and nephews and his extended family. He was predeceased by his parents, Ernest and Hilda Laidlaw, his sister Joanne Baker (2021) and her husband, Bob (1976) and his wife Margaret (2022).A celebration of life will be held at the Toronto Cricket Skating & Curling Club, located at 141 Wilson Avenue, on June 16, 2024 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. The family extends warm thanks to the many doctors, nurses and PSWs who helped with John's care in recent years. In lieu of flowers, please spend some time with your friends and family or enjoy a walk, enjoy the outdoors. These are things John appreciated. Although Ernie didn't make the 100-year milestone as he had hoped, he certainly lived a long, active, healthy life. Arrangements under the direction of Humphrey Funeral Home A.W.

(née Lauter)Artist. Photographer. Patient Teacher. Quirky mother. Devoted opera buff. Wife. Sister. Aunt. Friend. Joyce Rapoport died peacefully though broken hearted on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at the Jewish General Hospital.

She is survived by her daughters Nina (Denys) and Lisa (Chris); grandson Mercer; nephews Tony (Thea) and Adam, and nieces Lisa (Ira), Deidre (Alan), Andrea (Bernie), Amy (Julio) and their children.Joyce was an unassuming, unjudgmental, and *patient* listener and observer with an immense imagination. She was an artist with a powerfully intuitive and supremely quirky view of the world and every little thing in it. She found its poetry and exuberance everywhere and shared it readily with those around her. She was a patient teacher and inspired people to try out art, get messy, and to explore and take artistic risk by just not acknowledging any boundaries.Joyce was the quieter part of the Max and Joyce dynamic duo but with her fierce independence, bright colours, and big infectious smile just shone and stood out well beyond her words.Funeral service from Paperman & Sons, 3888 Jean Talon St. W., on Thursday, May 16 at 3:00 p.m. Burial at the Baron de Hirsch #2 Cemetery Section (A3), de la Savane.

Patrick would be very upset with a normal obituary, so this is not that. Cegep psychology teacher (Dawson and Montmorency), rustic art collector, translator, generous supporter of many causes, unionist, anti-apartheid activist, internationalist, iconoclast, mischief-maker, anti-establishmentarian, rabble-rouser to the end, passionately sympathetic to the less fortunate and down-trodden, a quirky comedian, creative, eccentric, a dreamer, the author of projects, (unfinished, all!) collector (not hoarder!), jazz aficionado, dedicated husband, loving brother and cousin, friend of many. Smoking caused irreparable lung damage, and ultimately led to his demise, peacefully and quickly, at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Balfour Mount Palliative Care Unit, finally free of the regrets, mistakes and anger that bedevilled him in his last few months. Predeceased by brother, Tony, his wife of 47 years, Liliane Wojczyk, and his lover, Friedl Kaal.Profound thanks to his cousin Diana, his caregivers Maria and Beria, his stalwart comrade Doug, the many friends who supported him, all the people at the Vista Residence and health care system that helped in so many ways.Pat would have eschewed eulogies and mourning, so none of that. What he would want is a celebration of life. And that's what he'll get. Stay tuned.

FREUDENREICH, ElsaElsa "Oma" Freudenreich was born in a small Schwabien German town, near Stuttgart called Sielmingen, on October 5 1924. During difficult times, and by coincidence, she met a Prussian man who had been displaced from a city called Königsberg (today known as Kaliningrad and is part of Russia). Times were difficult and he longed for a new start so, he boarded a ship that travelled up the St Lawrence to Montreal, hopeful to find work in Canada. He wrote her love letters after he arrived, when he had found employment, a home and saved some money, he asked her to join him. Much to the surprise of her family she accepted, got on a ship and immigrated to Canada in 1953. She learned to speak English from local TV and radio, and always had fun sharing her knowledge of a handful of French phrases with friends and family.Elsa and her husband Erich lived in Montreal (Pierrefonds), Quebec from 1953 until moving to Ladner B.C. to be closer to grandchildren in 1988.Elsa loved travelling. She particularly enjoyed annual trips to Florida with her best friend Laura and family trips to Maui. Despite not quite knowing how to swim she loved time in the pool, floating and splashing around with a pool noodle. Many remember fondly as Oma and Opa spent time in the pool together as well as going on long walks talking about the good life they shared.Elsa was a fantastic cook and baker. All who knew Oma delighted in her German dishes. She also enjoyed knitting and crocheting. Many benefited from her numerous knitting/crocheting projects. She was uniquely Oma to all of her extended family, the neighbours and all of the family friends, including friends of her grandkids. In particular, neighbourhood kids and extended cousins loved receiving slippers and crafted event themed Tea Towels over the years. She happily made more slippers whenever anyone outgrew their last pair.Elsa was a kind, loving soul, almost always had a happy smile, enjoying playful jokes, stories and banter. She was a people-person, family and friends were her greatest love. Like Opa, she loved flowers, her favourite being the orchid.She will be sadly missed by everyone that knew her.To have known her, was to have loved her and to be inspired by her joyful, adventurous and playful spirit.Forever in our hearts.In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to your favorite charity.

She generously welcomed droves through the years sharing this most favourite place with students, friends, relatives and colleagues – including any strangers she met on her path. Those whose lives were touched by Karen, always wondered what she'd do next because she never stopped. Karen was a personality and presence: Entertaining and Outrageous.

BURKE, MarianMarian Burke left this world peacefully on March 26, 2024 surrounded by her family and her favourite music. She leaves behind her husband Fabio, sisters Patricia (Bill Smith), Kathleen (David Harries), and Ann (Michel Belleville), and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. She is remembered for her creative vision, her humor, her love of books, art, and music but especially for her love of spending time with family and friends. She topped off her over 30-year career teaching high-school literature by mentoring student teachers, judging writing competitions, and fund-raising for a local children's library. Her love of travel took her to New York, Boston, Europe, North Africa and India. Reading was always her passion whether after resting from a hike in the Laurentians in summer or as a snowbird on Hilton Head Island or Florida in winter. Always a keen reader of the newspaper and the New Yorker, she was also at one point a member of three book clubs. Marian loved to entertain and expertly prepared gourmet-level creations. Her keen eye for color, form, and proportion transformed rooms, plants, flowers, table settings into works of art. Ever the walker and hiker, there was never a destination too far to be walked to, and she kept to her discipline of a daily walk to the very end. She faithfully supported her circle of friends and fiercely strove to attend every family event. Marian loved music especially choral, opera, and Broadway musicals which she produced and directed as the extracurricular part of her teaching career. Her enthusiasm, energy and good humour were legendary as were her stories of close calls and escapades in her eclectic adventures. A celebration of Marian's life will be held at Kane & Fetterly 5301 Decarie on Saturday, April 13, 2024. Condolences at 11:00, Memorial service at 1 p.m., Reception 2 p.m.- 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice

MANDARIC, DinkoJanuary 10, 1932 - March 24, 2024Passed away, surrounded by his family on March 24, 2024, at the age of 92. He was a loving and devoted husband to Metoda Mandaric for 60 years, until her passing in 2019. Beloved father of Irena and dear friend of his son-in-law, Bruce Kaye. Cherished grandfather of Tanya Kaye and Kelly (Derek) Oswalt.Dinko was born in Croatia on January 10, 1932, the youngest of nine children to Mate and Tada Mandaric.Dinko lost his father at the age of six and in his childhood years, lived through the harsh realities of World War II. His mother's strength and perseverance, as she raised and provided for her children through those difficult times, taught Dinko the importance of family. His mother taught love, devotion, and faith through example. As a young man, Dinko's keen intelligence and entrepreneurial spirit allowed him to create opportunities for himself in the post-war depression of Yugoslavia. He eventually found himself working on a road construction crew in Slovenia. This was to set his life on a new path. A young girl happened to live along this road and as many love stories begin, she caught his eye. That young girl (Metoda) was to become his wife, but not before he undertook one of the most momentous decisions of his life. Post-war Yugoslavia held few opportunities for a young, ambitious, entrepreneurial man. Dinko made the decision to leave Yugoslavia and seek a new beginning abroad. To do that, he had to escape across the border into Austria. Under the night sky, he climbed across the Alps into Austria and was placed in a refuge camp. Soon after his escape, he sent a message to Metoda, who was now working in Piran, in the hope that she would join him in Austria. Metoda followed her heart, left behind her family and friends, and joined Dinko there.Dinko and Metoda married in Austria and embarked on a journey that would bring them to Canada. They arrived with a small suitcase and a change of underwear. Here they started their new life together, supported each other through the challenges of creating a new life in a new land, began their family, and made many cherished friends.Dinko's formal education was cut short during WWII, but his thirst for learning would last his entire life. He quickly had to learn a new language and a new culture to be able to survive. After several years he trained to become a machinist and soon thereafter began working for Wilson Machine Company. He continued to study the craft and metallurgy, which fascinated him. From machinist he was promoted to foreman, and then he became the production manager. He was a dedicated employee of Wilson Machine company for close to 45 years. His work there and the friendships he made during those years were to be one of the greatest sources of joy in his life.Dinko loved history and languages. He could recite historical dates and locations, their importance, and how they shaped today's current events. Dinko was a gregarious individual. He was a loyal and trusted friend, throwing many parties at his home in Laval. He loved to recount the stories of his childhood and his youth. Those who knew him, talk of the stories he told and of his love for storytelling.Dinko led a long life, complete with challenges not many of us have known, the courage to face them head-on and succeed. He lived a life filled with love given generously. That young girl who caught his eye and left with him for parts unknown was the love of his life. Throughout her illness, he cared for her everyday with the utmost devotion. His daughter, Irena, and his granddaughters were the on-going joy that he held onto, even until his last few days. The dedication to family that Dinko learned from his mother is his legacy to his daughter and granddaughters. We were all by his side when he left us. He is in our hearts. We love him and honour the beautiful man that he was. He was love. He was larger than life.We extend our most heartfelt thanks to the nurses, doctors, and staff of the fifth floor Critical Care Unit at the Ottawa General Hospital. We are so grateful for their excellent care, compassion, kindness, and for the dignity with which they treated our most beloved Dinko.For those wishing to make a donation, a "Gift in Memory" to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family.Family and friends are invited to the visitation on Friday, April 19, from 6 pm to 8 pm, at Pinecrest Remembrance, 2500 Baseline Road, Ottawa, ON K2C 3H9. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, April 20, at 11:00 am, at the Holy Spirit Catholic Parish, 1489 Shea Rd. Ottawa, ON K2S 0G8.

Remembering Brian MulroneyFormer Prime Minister the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, P.C., C.C., G.O.Q., passed away surrounded by his family on February 29, 2024. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Mila; his four children and sixteen grandchildren, Caroline and her husband Andrew Lapham (Lewis, Pierce, Theodora, Miranda), Ben and his wife Jessica (Brian, John, Isabel), Mark and his wife Vanessa (Maximilian, Dylan, Ronan, Mila, Axel), Nicolas and his wife Katy (Victoria, Serena, Grayson, Lily); along with countless friends and a country grateful for his lifetime of service.Brian Mulroney was first and foremost a family man. He adored his wife and life partner, took great pride in the successes of his children, and cherished his latest role of "Papa." Never more than a phone call away, he checked in on the eve of a big game or after a tough day, and delighted in celebrating joyful moments with the entire family.Born into a working class family, Mr. Mulroney grew up on Quebec's North Shore in the papermill town of Baie-Comeau. Blessed with a strong work ethic, Mr. Mulroney rose to the highest echelons of Montréal's legal and business communities in the 1970s, becoming the CEO of a major corporation before the age of 40. Active from a young age in the political life of his province and his country, he forged lifelong friendships that crossed party lines, ideologies and strongly held views on la question nationale. Not satisfied to remain on the sidelines as his country faced evermore complex challenges, these friendships and his deep desire to help shape a modern Canada led him to enter public life and seek national office.Mr. Mulroney led the Progressive Conservative Party to the largest electoral victory in Canadian history, becoming Canada's eighteenth prime minister in 1984. He was re-elected with a majority government four years later, thereby becoming the first Canadian prime minister in 35 years to win successive majorities and only the second Conservative prime minister to do so since Confederation. Mr. Mulroney's government had the grand vision and courage to tackle major reforms to the Canadian economy, to our role in the world, and to our very conception of Canada as a country.Initiatives such as the Canada–U.S. Free Trade Agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and historic tax reform through the GST were transformative. His government introduced a wave of privatizations of Crown corporations, instituted a low inflation policy, extensive deregulation, and expenditure reduction. These necessary policies continue to be the foundation for Canada's economy and prosperity today.His personal relationships with world leaders and his exceptional skills as a negotiator and consensus builder allowed Canada to shape global events in ways unmatched before or since. In its earliest days, Mr. Mulroney's government played a leading role in the response to the 1984 Ethiopian Famine. Most notably, he led the campaign against apartheid in South Africa and the liberation of Nelson Mandela. And he ensured Canada took its rightful place as a leader of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF). In 2006, in recognition of far-reaching initiatives such as the Canada–US Acid Rain Treaty and the Montréal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, he was chosen as Canada's Greenest Prime Minister in history. Brian Mulroney believed in a strong Quebec within a united Canada. His constitutional reforms—the Meech Lake (1987) and Charlottetown (1992) Accords—articulated a modern vision of Canada that recognized the unique character of Quebec society, celebrated the country's linguistic duality, better protected minority language rights, promoted the diversity and strength of its regions, and acknowledged the need for reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.Throughout his time in politics, Mr. Mulroney cared deeply for the people he worked with and the people he served. He loved his caucus, admired their commitment and deeply respected their sacrifice. Their preoccupations became his priorities. He was singularly focused on favouring that which would improve the lives of Canadians in ten years, and not what would improve his party's fortunes in ten days.Mr. Mulroney received Canada's highest honour, the Companion of the Order of Canada, (1998) and the highest honour of the Government of Québec, Grand officier de l'Ordre national du Québec (2002). He also received the highest recognition that can be bestowed by the following nations: Haiti – Grand-Croix de l'Ordre national Honneur et Mérite (1994), Ukraine – Order of Kniaz (King) Yaroslav the Wise, First Class (2007), Japan – Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun (2011), South Africa – Supreme Companion of O.R. Tambo (Gold) (2015), and France – Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur (2016).Upon retiring from public life in 1993, Mr. Mulroney rejoined the Montréal law firm of Norton Rose Fulbright as a Senior Partner. At the time of his death, Mr. Mulroney was Chairman of the Board of Directors of Québecor Inc. (Montréal) and served as a director of The Blackstone Group L.P. (New York). He also served as Chairman of the International Advisory Board of Barrick Gold Corporation (Toronto). and was a Trustee of the Montreal Heart Institute Foundation and the International Advisory Board of HEC Montréal.Brian Mulroney will be remembered as a distinguished statesman who had the courage to articulate a clear vision for the country he led and the determination to see it through. He was a trusted and loyal friend, respectful of and respected by his political adversaries, someone who always had time to lend an ear or share a wise word. But most importantly to him, he was a loving husband, father and grandfather who would move mountains to ensure the well-being and happiness of his loved ones.He was 84 years old.In lieu of flowers, the family requests those who wish to express sympathy consider making a donation to the Brian Mulroney Institute of Government at St. Francis Xavier University or to the Université Laval's Carrefour international Brian-Mulroney.Canadians are invited to visit the Government of Canada's commemorative webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/commemoration/brian-mulroney.html) to learn more about the state funeral events that will be held from March 19 to 23, 2024, in Ottawa and Montréal.
