family filled with the Christian socialist values of equality, hard work and joy. He grew up in a community made rich by close
family, good neighbours and the Church. From age 8 he knew he would be a minister. He excelled in school graduating from
United College, U. of Manitoba with a B.A., B.D., M.Div. An ordained minister for 66 years, Rev. Fred served the United
Church of Canada in many ways, as a biblical scholar, a social activist, a man of extremely high principles, a problem-solver, a
powerful orator. He began summer Mission Field duties at the age of 16, ministered at Atlantic Avenue, Winnipeg, Cyprus

Ipperwash Cadet Camp. He was a Major (C.D.) with the Highland Fusiliers of Canada when he resigned militia duties in 1985.
Rev. Fred retired and spent many healthy years with Irene, travelling, enjoying the fellowship of family and community. He
was always grateful for what others did. A true gentleman, he treated all with kindness and respect, providing unwavering
support, advice and comfort. He touched many lives. His keen sense of humour, his laughter, his love of food, his knowledge,
the smile in his eyes and the songs that burst from his heart were trademarks. Rev. Fred lived a blessed life. Since February
2009 he has relied on the dedicated service given by those at St. Joseph's Villa, Dundas, especially on Rose Garden. He and the

Location: Kitchener
STUEBING, Ken Peacefully on September 30, 2010, Ken passed away, in his 93rd year, in Winnipeg, his home for the past
57 years. He is survived by his sons, Bill (Linda), Bob (Eileen) and his daughter Jane. His grandchildren, Emmy, Ken, Rob and
Sarah were his pride and joy. Born in Kitchener in 1918, Ken was predeceased in 2007 by Marie, his loving wife of 66 years
and by his brothers, Stan and Doug. His father, Arthur, passed during the depression and his mother, Eleanor, passed in
Kitchener in 1989 at the age of 104. Ken served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. Following his
discharge, he joined Dowler’s Men’s Wear in Kitchener. In 1948, he joined Cluett Peabody & Company as the Arrow Shirt
representative for Northern Ontario and Quebec based in North Bay. In 1953, he transferred to Winnipeg where he represented
the company in Manitoba and northwestern Ontario until his retirement in 1983. Under his watch, he ensured that Arrow Shirts
were THE shirt of Winnipeg’s best dressed gentlemen. Ken was also responsible for training Cluett’s salesmen, and his
trainees went on to successful careers in sales and management in the company. Ken loved his work where he made many good
friends and colleagues. Ken was an active member of Fort Garry United Church for over 50 years. He was involved in many
church activities from chairing a major building fund to serving as an Elder with Marie. He had a strong sense of community.
He was a long time member of the Fort Garry Rotary Club, serving as president in 1997/98, and the Winnipeg Chamber of
Commerce. He was a member of the Khartum Shriners and was a 32º Mason. He also volunteered in the visiting friends
program at Victoria Hospital. Ken’s civic pride and organizational skills were evident when he was the driving force in
forming the Winnipeg Massed Pipes and Drum Band which was larger than any other pipe band in Canada. He took the band
to the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena in 1973 and 1974. In 1975, Ken was asked to sit on a committee of the Department of
External Affairs to guide Canada’s participation in the American Bicentennial celebrations. The first activity was on January 1,
1976 when the band led the Rose Bowl Parade. The band went on to represent Winnipeg internationally for many years. In
1977, the Province of Manitoba recognized Ken with the Good Citizenship Award for “exemplifying a way of life that helps
make Manitoba a better place for all in which to live.” His civic pride extended beyond the Manitoba border when he was
named the first honorary citizen of Thunder Bay in 1970. Ken was also awarded the keys to the cities of Pasadena, California
and St. Petersburg, Florida. Ken was an active outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, but was happiest on the links at
Niakwa Golf and Country Club where he was a long time member. Ken felt blessed because of his family, his avocation, the
privilege to serve and the great gift of good friends. During Ken’s last years, he was comforted by the kind and compassionate
care of the staff at the Deer Lodge Centre in Winnipeg, for which his family will always be grateful. A private family interment
took place on October 4, 2010. A Memorial Service and Celebration of Ken’s life will be held on Thursday, October 28th at
Fort Garry United Church, 800 Point Road, Winnipeg at 1:30. If friends so desire, they may contribute to the Fort Garry United

WARWICK, Barbara (née Gzowski) Died peacefully at Chateau Gardens, London, at age 91, on Monday, October 4, 2010.
Devoted wife for 67 years of Dr. O. Harold Warwick who predeceased her in 2009. Beloved mother of two daughters: Wendy
(Pete Martin), and Victoria (Dr. Brian Dingle), and of two sons: Glynn (Jane) and Peter (Heather). Adored grandmother and
step-grandmother (Cindy Perrin, Kristi Stucke, Peter Martin, Jennifer Horner, Elizabeth Moore, Kellie O’Leary, Dustin Alix,
Nick Dingle, Gillian Dingle, Rachel Dingle) and great-grandmother of 16. Barbara was predeceased by her five siblings: Mary,
Helen Legg-Lord, Casimir, Vernon, and Edith. She will be sadly missed by her brother-in-law Bill Warwick (Westfield, NB)
and by sisters-in-law: Marjorie Miller (Penticton, BC), Phyllis Durrant (Westfield, NB), and Joy Gzowski (Orillia, ON).
Barbara was raised in Westmount (Montreal), QC. After their marriage, she and Harold lived in Montreal, Halifax, England,
Toronto, and London, Ontario. Barbara had many interests in her earlier life including downhill skiing since age three (slalom
became her favourite), and horseback riding. Cottaging with family in Muskoka and travelling with Harold were some of her
favourite activities. Other interests involved being a tireless volunteer member of St. Paul’s Moosenee Group and President of
the church’s Women’s Association, Board member and volunteer of Museum London (Art Gallery), President of the Women’s
Canadian Club in London, and Chair of the Canadiana Group at the UWO Women’s Faculty Club. Another major volunteer
adventure was being convenor for the huge Canada Day celebration for the city of London at the Forks of the Thames in 1989.
Barbara was named Volunteer of the Year for the Arts by the city in 1990. In 2004 Barbara entered a nursing home due to a
fractured hip and increasing disability due to progressive supranuclear palsy, a Parkinson-like illness. She never complained
despite the considerable physical challenges she encountered. The wonderful staff at Chateau Gardens London and her frequent
visitors contributed to making her life there a happy one. Barbara will be remembered mostly for her very kind, gentle and
generous nature, her creative/artistic side and her flair for making every social gathering that she and Harold had at home or
cottage the most welcoming it could possibly be! Her family and friends have lost a very special lady who will be remembered
in all of our hearts forever. Cremation has taken place; there will be no visitation. A memorial service will be held at St. Paul’s
Anglican Cathedral, 472 Richmond St. at Queens Avenue, London, ON, on Saturday, October 16 at 1:00 p.m., Archdeacon D.

TARRANT, Elizabeth (Liza) Maria (née Bezner)

TARRANT, Elizabeth (Liza) Maria (née Bezner) After a courageous battle with cancer, Liza died the way she wanted: at
home on Friday, October 22, 2010, surrounded by family and cradled in the loving arms of her husband Chris. She was 42.
Daughter of Hart and Marilyn Bezner, Liza was born on December 6, 1967 in Hamilton, Ontario. The first of four children, she
boldly led the way for her siblings: Wayne, Timothy and Edward (Ted). Liza created lasting friendships from her days at
Harold Wagner and Lincoln Heights Public Schools and Waterloo Collegiate Institute. Liza entered the workforce as a cashier
at McDonald's, giving it her all. She quickly rose through the ranks to become an area manager, leaving a major impact on
countless individuals during these 14 years. She then moved into her new role as a Starbucks manager, a position she occupied
until her physical condition deteriorated. Her generous focus on people on both sides of the counter earned her the 2008
"Manager of the Year" award for all of Canada. When asked about the happiest period of her life, Liza, without hesitation,
pointed to her marriage to Chris Tarrant whom she called her soul mate and best friend. It was a second marriage for both. Liza
will be lovingly remembered by her parents, Hart and Marilyn; brother Wayne and his wife Rachel and their daughters Carmen
and Miriam; brother Timothy and his wife Laura, and their children William and Sarah; brother Edward (Ted) and his wife
Lisette, and their children Alexander and Annette. To her nieces and nephews, Liza was affectionately known as 'Auntie Lou'.
On her husband's side by step children Daniel and Meghan; mother-in-law Marguerite Tarrant; sisters-in-law Theresa, Jennifer
and Annette; brothers-in-law Tim, Todd, Alex and Terry; nieces Laura and Emma, and nephews Erik and Samuel. Liza faced
her illness much as she faced life itself: with courage, faith, joy, and serenity. Finding and giving strength through family and
friends, Liza lived each day to the fullest. Her vital relationship with God shone clearly as she explained to her family, mere
hours before her death, that she was at peace and would die without regrets. Thank you to Liza's doctors and the "Angels of
Oncology" at Grand River Cancer Centre and the staff at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie. A very special prayer of thanks to
'Mona the Pharmacist', "You are an angel!" The family will receive friends at the Steckley-Gooderham Funeral Home, 30

Paul Reed (2003). Gloria grew up in various places in Ontario, Florida, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Quebec before finally
settling in Waterloo via Elmira. She learned responsibility early by taking part in the raising of her younger siblings, especially
the youngest and slowest one, James! She was an animal lover who would never enter the cat versus dog debate, as she loved
both. She was an accomplished pianist, having started playing on the church organ, and in recent years taught piano from her
home, as well as periodically performing in public. Despite being known as independent, strong, intelligent, practical, and
insightful, she still revelled in telling “dumb blonde” jokes. These jokes were just one part of her generally sunny, cheerful
pg. 107
disposition, which did not depart her when she learned in August 2010 of her advanced illness. This she faced bravely, and was
thankfully spared a lot of pain. Honouring Gloria’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Friends are invited to share their
memories of Gloria with her family at a gathering to celebrate Gloria’s life on Sunday, October 31, 2010 at 1 p.m. at the Erb

URQUHART, Glencairn Herbert "Glen" It is with deep sadness that we part with our wonderful father, husband, teacher,
friend and mentor Glencairn “Glen” Herbert Urquhart, of Kincardine, at the South Bruce Grey Health Centre on Monday,

Urquhart of Cambridge, Cameron Urquhart (Gwen Hiles) of Orillia, Tim (Lucy) Urquhart of Kitchener and Carolyn Urquhart
of Denman Island, British Columbia. He will be sadly missed by 13 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild and numerous friends
and associates. Also sadly missed by Susan’s daughter Patricia and her son Patrick of Ottawa. He is survived by his first wife
Frances Urquhart of Kitchener. He was best known for his gorgeous paintings depicting all the corners of the earth. In
particular the seas, lakes and waterways so close to his heart. He built many sailboats and sailed those beloved waves, free
under billowing clouds and sails. He also had a passion for planes and flying and was thrilled to fly a “Tiger Moth” recently.
On September 20, 2009 he received first prize at the Department of National Defense for the Centennial of Flight Art Contest,
in Ottawa, for a painting depicting a scene from WWI. Glen was gifted in portraiture, illustration and landscapes, rarely
without a brush, pencil, or piece of wood in his capable hands. He played tennis and badminton with gusto and had the
creativity and strength to build almost anything from furniture to houses. Glen loved to carve. Every Christmas his loved ones
were thrilled to receive a different hand-carved and painted duck from him. An ingenious man with a heart of gold, he was the
ultimate gentleman, in every sense of the word, with a wonderful sense of humour. Many thanks to the doctors, nurses, friends
and family who have supported Glen over the last 3 years during his courageous battle with cancer. Please join us for a
celebration of his life and help us share our happy memories at the Davey- Linklater Funeral Home , 757 Princes Street,
