“BOOMER’S” BIKE RIDES IN SUPPORT OF BOOMER’S LEGACY

We wish to draw your attention to three upcoming Boomer’s Legacy Bike Rides that are occurring in Ottawa, BC, and NS in the upcoming months. Since 2008, these Rides have raised thousands of dollars to “help our soldiers help others”. Funds raised by Boomer’s Legacy are used by soldiers, sailors, airmen and airwomen wherever they are deployed to provide humanitarian assistance to men, women and children in need.

Each Ride takes the cyclists on an emotional journey of honour, awareness and commitment. The National Capital Region (NCR) Boomer’s Ride is scheduled to start and finish at Canadian Forces Station Leitrim on Saturday June 9th 2013. The NCR Ride takes the cyclists on a 110km course, through scenic and historic Capital region sites and over challenging terrain including the Gatineau hills.

The BC Ride is a two-day event covering 240 kms from Comox to Victoria, on June 14th and 14th, 2013. Starting at the gravesite of Andrew “Boomer” Eykelenboom in Comox, cyclists will take in the beautiful scenery of the Vancouver Island coastline, and will be challenged just before reaching Victoria by a steep climb up the Malahat mountain.

The Nova Scotia Ride is a challenging one-day event covering 174 kms, on Saturday September 14th, 2013. Departing from CFB Greenwood, the cyclists will pass through rural communities of the Annapolis Valley, follow the south shore of the province, and finish the day with a climb to the top of Citadel Hill in Halifax.

Through their commitment to join and raise a minimum of $300, riders will be supporting Boomer’s Legacy and the humanitarian projects it funds, through our soldiers, to help men, women and especially children in war torn areas wherever our soldiers are serving.

Boomer’s Ride also serves to honour all of our fallen soldiers who have given their lives to our freedom. The bike of each rider with be adorned with a picture and bio of two fallen soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan while serving Canada and Canadians.

Alex Greenlees died in Barrie, Ont. on April 24, 2013.

Alex was born in London, Ont. on September 10, 1920 to F. Henry Greenlees and Elfleda L. Clarke, twin brother of Tom. He graduated from the Royal Military College in 1940 and from Queen’s University in 1948.

He served in the Canadian Army 1940 to 1945 – in Canada and the U.K., and in Holland and Germany with the Essex Scottish Regiment.

Alex married D. Jean Brown on October 27, 1951. He was a professional chemical engineer and worked for Polysar in Sarnia from 1948 to 1983. He moved to Barrie in March 2008.

He will be greatly missed by his daughter Betsy Greenlees and her husband Ray Dorosz of Lethbridge, Alta., and his son Rob Greenlees and his wife Mary Greenlees of Barrie, and his four grandchildren, Megan and Sam Dorosz and Kristen and Cameron Greenlees, and several nieces and nephews.

Alex was predeceased by his wife Jean Brown in 1986; by his twin brother, Thomas C. Greenlees, of London in 2009; and his parents.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. at McCormack Funeral Home in Sarnia. If desired, donations in memory of Alex to the Royal Victoria Hospital Foundation, Barrie or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. Source

The Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR)

Laurence passed away 23 April 2013 after a year-long battle with cancer. Born in Calgary, he was predeceased by his father Hugh and mother Elizabeth. He is survived by his wife Johanna Douglas-O’Neill and daughter Meaghan, his sister Catherine, her husband Bill Jeffery, and by his brother Eugene. His Canadian Army career started at Royal Roads Military College and saw him graduate from Royal Military College in 1978.

Laurence retired from the Army in 1997, after 24 years of service. After a successful period with Calian, Laurence joined Computing Devices Canada (CDC) in 1998. CDC was acquired by General Dynamics Canada and Laurence progressed to his ultimate position as Director of Business Development. Laurence will be fondly remembered by all who knew him as a devoted husband and father, a dedicated Canadian, soldier and leader of men. He would “Never Pass a Fault”, be it small, great, military or civilian.

HILL, Major Dudley – J.F. R.C.A.F. Retired – Former Director of Athletics @ RMC 1972- 75

HILL, Major Dudley – J.F. R.C.A.F. Retired. – Sept. 30 1928 – April 19 2013 – Suddenly at Kingston General Hospital, on April 19, 2013. Loving husband of the late Audrey M. Hill with whom he celebrated 62 years of marriage. Beloved father of Dudley (Cheryl), Gregory (Anna), and Susan Rogers. A kind and generous grandfather to Megan, Michael, Derek, Jessica, Jennifer, James, Jeffrey and Andrew and the delighted observer of many great grand children. Survived by siblings Margaret Woolfrey and Jack Hill (Joyce) both of Sydenham and Susan Murphy (Neil) from Calgary. Predeceased by sister Joan, son Mark, Graham and son in law Randy Rogers. Dudley was born in Ottawa of a home boy father, Jack Hill from Luton, England and Violet Grace, a Londoner, who was in Canada as a handmaiden to Lady Kingsmill.

Due to the depression the family returned to Luton, England where Dudley excelled at many sports as well as being a fine scholar. After school Dudley attended Loughborough College where he again excelled at sports playing Rugby, his first love and soccer for both university and city teams. Upon graduating with a teaching certificate he enlisted in the Royal Scots regiment of the British Army where he further honed his sporting skills. In 1950 he married his childhood sweetheart Audrey and deciding there was little future in war ravaged Britain he returned to Canada with 17 dollars in his pocket and a mountain of optimism. His first jobs included stocking shelves in a Dominion store, managed the Quebec City YMCA, taught school in Shelbourne, Nova Scotia. And finally joined the R.C.A.F. where he rose to the rank of Major while training and coaching 1,000′s of recruits from many countries. His many transfers included London, Ontario; St. Jean, Quebec; Fontainebleau, France; Comox, B.C. and finally the Royal Military College here in Kingston.

He will be remembered by hundreds of students for his belief in enjoying sport purely for the pleasure of it. One of his proudest achievements was the year he coached RMC badminton team to a national title, Queens University badminton team to a provincial title and Sydenham High School badminton to a provincial title. He also coached and played on numerous Armed Forces National Championship teams in soccer, rugby, badminton and volleyball as well as playing rugby for the Toronto Barbarians. Finally at the age of 48 he retired from his beloved rugby and with 25 years of service he also retired from the Air Force. He then sought out a second career and with his typical optimism purchased a tired old fishing lodge in Newboro Ontario, although he had barely fished a day in his life. With the help of his tireless wife Audrey, sons Mark and Gregory and daughter in law Anna, by force of will, and incredible hard work, he transformed Stirling Lodge into one of Ontario’s most successful fishing resorts. In later years, Stirling Lodge purchased another water front property in addition to opening Kilborn’s on the Rideau and just recently the Stagecoach Inn restaurant. His whole life he loved flower gardening and into his 80′s he planted and cared for over 6,000 flowers on his properties and throughout the village of Newboro.

He also loved travelling and toured every inch of Portugal and France, often with family in tow. Wintering in Myrtle Beach he changed his focus to golf where his unorthodox athletic swing allowed him to shoot his age at 78 years old. The Major will be fondly remembered by thousands of fishermen from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York as well as many other states, by his family and friends, as well as his teammates and students across Canada. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the Newboro Beautification Committee, c/o Keitha Burtch, Box 83, Newboro On K0G 1PO and would be appreciated by the family. A private family memorial will take place at a future date. IN CARE OF SIMPLER TIMES CREMATION SERVICE 613-389-7223 / 613-382-3683 on-line condolences www.simplertimes.org    Source

Éloge de feu Raymond McNicoll, Ing., à McMasterville, au Salon Demers, le 2 février 2013

Chère Famille McNicoll,

Nous avons été plus que malheureux d’apprendre que Raymond fut emporté par une sournoise et cruelle leucémie, Raymond qui fut notre impayable camarade, entre 1956 et 1961, aux Collèges militaires de St-Jean et de Kingston. Nous compatissons de tout coeur avec vous.

Nous avons vécu alors cinq années comme un clan tissé serré d’élèves-officiers soumis à un régime aussi sévère que studieux. De l’aube au crépuscule, l’on comprimait de multiples activités, tant militaires que sportives, entre des plages de cours de génie et d’humanités couvrant de 10 à 14 matières, selon la session. Un tel régime intensif laisse bien des traces dans les cerveaux, y compris des impressions, au moins fugaces sinon durables, des uns et des autres. Il demeure qu’après 50 ans de dispersion du clan, seules les personnalités indélébiles demeurent intactes sur la toile des souvenirs.

Justement, Raymond s’avère l’un de nos rares camarades qui soient demeurés en permanence dans nos têtes, et cela tient à l’originalité multiforme dont il fit preuve en ce temps-là. Vite on le découvrit comme étant à la fois sans peur, rebelle, boxeur, séducteur, voire poète. Avec autant d’atouts en milieu aussi austère, il avait de quoi composer un héros à nous.

Il ne connaissait pas la trouille, pas plus devant l’autorité que sur un ring, devant un boxeur prétentieux, dont il savait en général triompher, souvent par K.O. Il ne détestait pas une bonne querelle car son aplomb et sa fermeté lui donnaient l’avantage.

Il interprétait avec audace les règlements . Comme nul autre, il sautait la clôture du Collège si Montréal l’appelait. Il revenait de ses escapades, on imagine à l’aube, un peu écorché, avec, au moins une fois, de gros points de suture sur la joue. Un héros ne se fabrique pas sans cicatrices.

À des moments imprévisibles, révélant un côté tendre qu’il cachait d’ordinaire, il s’affichait furtivement, en toute sensibilité, comme poète inquiet du destin. Sa force résidait dans des jeux de mots subtils où le propos, qui se laisse deviner, se conjugue aux sonorités pour créer une atmosphère nostalgique accrocheuse. En témoigne l’un de ses poèmes, sur un vieillard en désarroi, coupable d’un forfait, que le journal du Collège, Le Rempart, publia en décembre 58, en page 3. Lisons-le. Vous verrez de quel vocabulaire Raymond se chauffait. Le poème s’intitule La Gamme Nostalgique, et se décline comme suit:

———————————————————————————

LA GAMME NOSTALGIQUE

Un homme va misérablement dans le sentier boueux,

Debout.

La lune, taciturne, s’estompe dans une urne

D’eau

Il marche péniblement, traînant de fatigue son forfait,

Ignorant les sinistres ombrages

Des arbres

Qui penchent, immenses paquets

D’os.

Courbant l’échine qui paraît sur son ciré,

Il hâte le pas, s’agrippe à la boue;

Des nerfs se tracent à son cou; il est tombé

Dans le fourré.

La lèvre amère, il se relève debout,

S’étire, se détend; mal lui en est resté

Au dos.

Il pleut d’une pluie pesante,

Méchante…

Où ira-t-il, ce vieillard,

Par cette nuit mouvante

À travers l’épais brouillard

D’eau?

et c’est signé: R. McN.

———————————————————————————–

C’était bien là notre copain francophone Raymond McNicoll au patronyme irlandais. Pour ceux d’entre nous, avec un penchant cinéma, qui avions vu le mythique Casablanca, nous aimions voir en Raymond le Humphrey Bogart de notre clan, avec imper, chapeau, cigarette, bière et, bien sûr, une femme sublime qui l’aime sans espoir, car astreinte à l’exil.

Décidément, il exerça sur nous un charme durable. À preuve, lorsque diverses circonstances, au fil des décennies, réunissaient certains d’entre nous, invariablement survenait une question du genre: “Où niche donc Raymond McNicoll?” Et là, à défaut de nouvelles, se déclenchaient autant les sourires que la concurrence pour raconter ses hauts faits les plus cocasses, du temps de notre “pensionnat” militaire.

Nous sûmes qu’après une année de plus à Kingston et l’exécution de son contrat en tant qu’officier de Marine, il trouva sa voie comme ingénieur civil dans le privé, et qu’il devint un intrépide entrepreneur. Raymond préférait se dire un employeur, c’est moins froid, plus paternaliste, avec des sous-traitants, comme des enfants, qu’on surveille sans cesse. On imagine qu’il fut imaginatif, sociable et avisé pour réussir dans une activité aussi difficile.

En tout cas, il emporte avec lui notre affection, celle que nous, de son clan 56-61, gardons pour les rares héros qui ont égayé nos rudes années d’école militaire.

Que l’adaptation de tous à un monde sans Raymond se fasse dans la douceur de bons souvenirs.

Raymond, ton clan te salue militairement.

Guy Charest pour le clan

5315 BGen(Ret) Robert Alden, OMM, CD 1939-2013

Bob lost his six year battle with cancer on April 12th 2013.

Bob started his career in the Canadian Army in 1957 when he attended CMR and RMC. In 1963 he was posted to 1st Bn of the Black Watch as a platoon commander. He was nominated to attend the basic parachute course in 1964 and as a prize for graduating he was posted to Germany to serve with the British Army as an exchange officer with the British Black Watch. During this time he married Jane, his wife of 48 years, and his first son Patrick (future Royal) was born.

Upon returning to Canada he returned to 1st Bn RHC in Gagetown for 6 months before being posted to RMC as the Assistant Army Staff officer. While in Kingston Joel was born. The family left Kingston and moved to Gagetown and 2nd Bn RHC.

In Sept 1969 Bob spent eight months wearing a blue beret in Cyprus. In 1970 Capt Alden attended the Army Staff College as one of the last members of the Black Watch as the Reg force portion of the Regiment was stood down.

1971 found newly promoted Maj Alden commanding a Coy in 3 Mech Cdo.(part of the Canadian Airborne Regiment). 1974 found Bob replacing the maroon beret of the CAR with the green beret and eight pointed star of the RCR and on the move again, this time to Cornwallis NS, as the first Chief Instructor of the new integrated Canadian Forces Recruit School.

1976 found Bob headed to Edmonton and the Canadian Airborne Regiment. The family knew this would be a short posting as Bob had been tasked with seeing the regiment moving to Petawawa the following summer. Bob watched the CAR move to their new home then passed them as once again the family moved to Gagetown and CTC for a year.

In 1977 newly promoted LCol Alden found himself Petawawa bound as the DCO of the CAR. The family found itself on the move 10 months later in June 1979 as Bob took over command of 3 RCR then part of 4CMBG in Germany. In 1981 the family’s shortest move occurred when the family moved down the road where Bob was the SSO Ops for 4 CMBG.

1983 May 25, Bob was invested into the OMM as an officer. He was also promoted and posted to Winnipeg as Chief of Staff for the Prairie Region (Militia).

In 1985 Bob was privileged to swear Pat in as a private in the RCR. 1986 Bob and Jane went back to Germany and HQ CFE in Lahr. Two years later in 1988 newly promoted BGen Alden moved up the road to Heidelberg to take over as Deputy Chief of Staff Operations, Central Army Group (NATO).

1992 Bob and Jane were posted to Kingston where Bob was appointed the Commandant of the Army Staff College and the Deputy Comd 1 Can Div.

A celebration of life will be held from 1-3pm on Wednesday 17 April at Fort Frontenac Officers’ Mess in Kingston.

The family wish to thank the nurses, doctors and staff at Saint Elizabeth, Kingston General Hospital and St. Mary’s of the Lake for their care and compassion.

Donations in lieu of flowers should be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

SMITH, David Gregory

1969 – 2013

It is with the most profound sorrow that our family announces the death of our lovely David Gregory Smith, PhD. Those close to him were aware that he was battling debilitating illness but we remained hopeful for his recovery. Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly on Monday, April 1, 2013 in Toronto, Ontario at the young age of 43 years. A Psychologist and scientist, David had a keen and always inquisitive intellect that was matched only by a strong passion for his work and collaborations with his many friends and colleagues. Above all however, David was a loving and generous spirit who rejoiced in his moments with others. He touched and enriched the lives of all who knew him, as they touched his. David will be very deeply missed by his partner and wife of 9 years, Adrienne Alexandra Munro, their loving and most cherished son, 6 year-old Logan Munro Smith, who was his father’s greatest pride and source of joy. Beloved and dearest son of Louise Guay Smith and the late Robert William Smith, caring brother to Steven Michael Smith and proud uncle of Sydney and Dylan Smith. Loving brother-in-law to Isabel Fearon and Kyla Munro. Dear nephew to Marcel Guay, Marielle Guay (deceased) and Richard Sirois, and Eileen and Reginald Paterson. David will forever be sorely missed in our lives. He will also be greatly missed by his many cherished friends and valued colleagues and acquaintances at Defense Research and Development Canada (DRDC), the Department of National Defense and Canadian Forces communities, as well as by colleagues at the Royal Military College and Queen’s University community in Kingston. A memorial service will take place on Friday, April 12, 2013 at 11 a.m. at Rideau Funeral Home, 4275 Sources Blvd., Dollard-des- Ormeaux, H9B 2A6, 514-685-3344.

BURDON, THOMAS HOLLAND – born August 23, 1919, Saint John, New Brunswick, died March 14, 2013, Los Altos Hills, California – Tom/Dad/Grampy passed away peacefully while visiting with his son Tom A. and family. He was surrounded by many of his family in a loving environment during his final voyage. His unique energy, extraordinary wit and life force will be missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his brother Fred; his children, Dave (Brenda), Linda Cameron (Adrian d’Angelo), Camrose (Cletus Peters), Doug (Sharon Lowe), Tom A. (Eva Weinlander), and Carma; 17 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews. Tom was predeceased by his wife Barbara and his brother Roger. Soon after graduating from Saint John High School Tom took officer training at Royal Roads in Victoria and joined the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve. In World War II he served on corvettes and other ships that were famed for their courageous escorting of Allied convoys through treacherous seas during the Battle of the Atlantic. In 1941 he was part of the escort group for a 52-ship convoy when it was fiercely attacked by a U-Boat wolfpack, losing 11 ships. After the war he had a long career with Zeller’s, first managing the Fredericton store, then moving to Head Office in Montreal and becoming VP Human Resources. He was a loyal company man throughout his career. Tom was regarded as a wise community citizen and served in leadership positions with the Boy Scouts, YMCA, United Way and the Lac St. Francois Xavier Lake Association. His counsel was sought and respected by many from within and outside the family. A lifelong learner and traveler, Tom was passionately curious about the origin of life, all aspects of science, ancient civilizations, general semantics, and the theories of economist Henry George. He was a proud Canadian and a staunch Conservative. He and Barbara created countless treasured memories for many at the fabled “Four Gables” and “The Base”, the family’s lakeside homes in Montfort, Quebec. No one left their home without a sense of renewal, rejuvenation and connection. The gift of these memories will be cherished by all who knew him.

A celebration of Tom’s life will be held in summer 2013. For information, or to share your memories with the family, please contact Dave Burdon daveburdon@telus.net 1-604-534-2419
