BATTISTE _ Florence Theodora September 30, 1920 to August 2, 2007 Our
beloved Florence touched the lives of friends, family and even strangers
with her selflessness. She was passionately interested in the lives of
others. As well, she was so exceptionally outgoing that she will be
remembered fondly by many people whose lives she touched. Although she was
86 years old when she died in Lions Gate Palliative Care she had never
allowed herself to grow "old". She was as comfortable and informed talking
to a 20 year old as to someone of her own generation. Always an avid sports
fan, she loved to watch and discuss all kinds of sporting events. Her family
adored her and she will maintain a special place in hearts and memories for
years to come. As a young woman in 1948 Florence courageously moved from her
family home in North Sydney, Nova Scotia to a new life in Vancouver. She
overcame her limited early education by attending night school. This opened
the door to a successful 35 year career in payroll, personnel and
accounting. Everywhere she worked she made lasting friends. Our very special
"Nana" leaves behind her daughter Joan Williams and son-in-law Brian. She
will be terribly missed by grandson Aaron Williams and granddaughter Jordan
Adams. In addition she was a loving great grandmother to Kayleigh and
Addison Adams. Regular phone calls kept her in touch with nephew Spencer
McPhee and niece Michelle Baker in Ontario. Florence's great interest in her
extended family never wavered and she kept in close contact with sister
Barbara MacDonald and brother-in-law Ken MacDonald. She was also devoted to
niece Jane Black. Special people like Florence don't ever make the headlines
but the world was a better place for 86 years because she passed through it.
No service by Florence's request.

FORSYTH _ William (Bill) Michael born in Neepawa, Manitoba, October 15,
1947, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on August 7,
2007. Bill, pre-deceased by his father Morley, is survived by his beloved
wife Janyce, his son Pierre, his mother Virginia, his twin brother Morley
(Margot), brother Raymond (Jonathan), sister Barbara, sister-in-law Bev
(Paul), sister-in-law Judy, his nieces Virginia (Paul), Kathryn, Sigourney,
Genevieve, nephews John, Charlie, and Rhys, grand niece Sophie, grand
nephews John Jr. (J.J.), Tobias and Leo. As a child Bill was a quiet boy,
but nevertheless managed to attract a lot of attention with his twin brother
Morley. From an early age and for the rest of his life Bill had a quick wit
and a talent for fixing things. As a young man, Bill joined his father
Morley and his brother Raymond in the family business (Forsyth Rentals and
Equipment) selling and renting heavy machinery. Bill's organizational skills
and his talent for troubleshooting and problem solving were key reasons why
Forsyth Rentals grew into a very successful business. Later Bill and Ray
worked together in a new business designing and manufacturing heavy
equipment. Once again the new business achieved terrific success in large
part because of Bill's skill and ability in managing difficult and complex
operations. Bill was the bedrock upon which the family businesses were
built. In his younger years Bill was an expert skier. He was an active
participant in the lively apres ski culture at Whistler from the heady days
of the resort town in the mid 1970's to the mid 1990's. Later, Bill became
an avid boater and shared many happy times on the water with his wife Janyce
and their son Pierre. Over the years Bill won the respect and friendship of
his fellow boaters, in part because of his work as their amateur consultant
on all manner of mechanical problems, but mostly because of his playful
sense of humour, good nature and solid character. Bill was the proud father,
friend and mentor to his son Pierre and soul-mate and loving husband to his
wife Janyce. Together with his family (and his dog Nikki) Bill lived a life
filled with love, happiness and laughter. Taken from us too soon, Bill will
be remembered as a devoted son, father, husband and brother, quick to help
his friends; someone who lifted our spirits and enriched our lives. A
celebration of Bill's life will be held on Tuesday, August 14th from 2:00 pm
to 5:00 pm at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. Flowers are graciously
declined. Donations to the BC Children's Hospital or Make-a-Wish Foundation
in Bill's memory would be appreciated.

turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for
tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he's gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your
mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what he would want ... open

KEATLEY _ Philip died unexpectedly in Vancouver on August 6th, 2007. He was
born in Vancouver on August 29th, 1929 and grew up in North Vancouver. He is
survived by his beloved wife of fifty-four years Elizabeth (nee Grant) and
his three children, Anne Murdoch (Brent), Christopher Keatley (Tracey),
Julia Keatley (Guy) and five grandchildren Chris, Kate, Jenny, William and
Sarah. Philip graduated from North Vancouver High School in 1947 and then he
attended U.B.C. where he became actively involved in the Player's Club and
began his lifelong passion for the arts. After graduating he and Elizabeth
moved to London, England so that he could pursue an acting career on the
stage. In 1956, he was called back to Canada to begin a thirty-four year
career directing and producing television for the CBC. Philip was
instrumental in developing the talent base of the British Columbia film
industry. He had an extraordinary generosity of spirit and was a mentor to
many of the people he worked with. Specializing in drama, Philip created and
developed ten separate television series. Significant among them are Cariboo
Country, The Beachcombers and Cold Squad. He was throughout his career a
spokesman for the regional voice in the arts in Canada. Not just for the
British Columbia voice but for all the regional colours and accents that
distinguish this country. But above all, Philip had a deep commitment to his
family, extended family and many close friends. He was a devoted and loving
husband, father and friend to many. He will be deeply missed. A memorial
service will be held on Friday, September 14th, 2007 at 3:00 pm at the
Unitarian Church at 949 West 49th Avenue in Vancouver. In lieu of flowers

Thursday, August 2, 2007 at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission, after
a brief battle with cancer. Her husband of sixty years, Abe, held her hand

The family farmed in Saskatchewan until they moved to BC in 1933, where they
farmed in Agassiz, and later in Abbotsford. After marriage to Abe Nickel in
1947, the couple moved to Vancouver to raise their family. Sue always had a
positive influence on people, even if she just spent a few moments with
them. Her enemies have never been found. She leaves behind a better world
that is richer for her presence. Sue's family will continue to love her,
deeply and forever. She leaves behind her beloved husband Abe, sons Tom (and

PACKER _ Maurice (Moe) slipped quietly away on the evening of August 5,
surrounded by his family. Born on April 1, 1921 in Saskatoon, Moe grew up in
Biggar, Saskatchewan, and attended the University of Saskatchewan. His
education was interrupted by WWII when he joined the RCAF and was stationed
in the Yorkshire countryside, flying in Lancasters. After returning to
Canada and continuing his education, he moved to Vancouver to work as a
partner in Shaugnessy Cleaners on Granville and 13th, leaving the business
in 1970. He then went on to manage an intermediate care facility, staying on
until his retirement in 1992. He leaves behind his loving wife of 56 years,
Mona; children Carla (Gaby), Elaine (David) and Reesa (Les); grandchildren
Ori, Yuval, Alon, Naomi, Daniel, and step-grandchildren Lisa and Sarah; and
many nieces, nephews and cousins. Our thanks to the staff at the Elder Care
unit at Jimmy Pattison Pavilion at VGH for taking care of Dad over the last
month. Dad loved sports, music, travel; most of all, he loved his family. We
miss you and your smile, Dad; you'll always be with us.

PANEK _ Joseph (Pepa) our much-loved Dad, finally ran out of lives August 5,
2007. A cycling fiend, enthusiastic debater and passionate reader, he was
not averse to sharing a pint or two with anyone willing to join in loud and
lusty song (as long as it was a Czech song). In his action-packed 87 years
he cheated death countless times and just kept coming back for more. He
nurtured his formidable resilience in a youth consumed by his passion for
cycling and dream of one day being a member of Le Tour. WWII put an end to
most of his dreams and so he changed course, escaped with his bride-to-be
(Pavla Taborska), and found a new home in distant, but free, Canada. And now
it has come to an end, this life lived to the fullest; every last drop has
been squeezed out and it is time to move on. We love you DADDY-O wherever
you are!

Stephanie (Les) Martleu, Richard, Andrea, Susan, grandchildren David
(Noelle) Mori, Matthew (Maggie) Mori, Owen Martleu, Stacey Martleu,
great-grandchildren Amelia and Nevaeh Mori. Our love and appreciation for
you in a poem: In Your Garden It began with a man. This man became your
husband. A union that would span for more than half a century. Upon meeting
this man there followed sunlight. Bright, beautiful rays of sun. It was the
kind of light which is so encompassing that it wraps you in all its warmth
and joy and you feel all you can do is smile. There was plenty of sun. There
was plenty of love. There were plenty of smiles. Under this sun you shared
the quiet comfort of the simplicity of a small town. It was within this
light that the two of you shared your desires for a family. As your thoughts
grew, your desires for family did as well. This accumulation of love and
trust cultivated a home for you both. Together, you grew a family. First, a
daughter. Then, a son. Another daughter. And finally, another daughter. In
bloom, your family grew. In bloom, love grew. Years later, and after much
light and nourishing rains, your garden continued to grow. A grandson.
Another grandson. And yet, another grandson. Until finally, a granddaughter.
At last, a granddaughter. Your garden became even more green, Even more lush
it seems. And each year this garden gave back to you, As much as you gave
back to it. Then, one day, while admiring your garden in all its wonder, you
noticed two new seedlings beginning to sprout out from the soil. There they
were, two great-granddaughters! Two small, fragile flowers sprung out of the
earth from the love and warmth with which your garden first began. Today, we
walk through this creation admiring what you have grown and what you have
nurtured. We brush past the silk petals on our long walks in the sunlight
and we sit on strong oak benches, gazing at the firm stems while rolling the
full leaves between our finger tips. We lay in the tall grass while we think
of you and embrace the kaleidoscope of colours and sweet fragrances that
adorned your life. It is you whom we shall always love. It is within your
garden where we shall always grow. For Florence Rose by David S. Mori,

a short illness, looking serene, our mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother, Eleanor Smith, passed away, just six weeks before her

Sam, her niece Dorothy Myers (Arnie) and grand niece and grand nephew Lesley
Myers and Ray Montrey. She was predeceased by her brother Ray Parfitt

1903, to Laura (nee Matthew) and Aaron Parfitt who arrived from England in
1889. Eleanor attended Girls' Central School and graduated from Victoria
High School and Victoria Normal School. She taught school in BC for eight
years at Spring Ridge in Victoria, and Goldstream, Royston and Hazelton,
most of which were one-room schools. Her childhood in Victoria focused
around family, music and church. She grew up with 40 Parfitt cousins who
camped at Shoal Bay and Mt. Douglas Park where the Parfitt family owned
summer campsites. Her father, Aaron, with his four brothers built many of
Victoria's heritage brick buildings, including in China Town after the 1906
fire, the James Bay Inn (1911), St. John's Church (Quadra St., 1911), and
the Bay Street Armories (1915). The largest project of Parfitt Brothers'
Ltd. was the construction of Christ Church Cathedral (1926-1929). In 1932
Eleanor married her high school beau, Doug Smith. In 1938 they built a home
on Cavendish Avenue where they lived until 1954 and then moved to a new home
they designed on 3081 Oakdowne Road where she lived for 53 years. Eleanor
maintained a lifelong interest in music, latterly through the Symphony and
Conservatory of Music. Always a social spirit, Eleanor attended her last
meeting of her PEO sisterhood only weeks before she died, being an active
member for over 56 years. She served on the Altar Guild of St. Luke's Church
for years and was a longstanding member of the Oak Bay Garden Club, the
Dicken's Society and the Retired Teachers' Association. Although widowed for
30 years, she maintained an active social life with friendships that spanned
her few surviving contemporaries and reached into her grandchildren's
generation. She was an avid fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and attended a game
in Seattle with her sons to celebrate her 95th birthday. She was also a
loyal fan of Tiger Woods whose golf achievements she followed right up to
the recent British Open. She gave talks and newspaper interviews on the
social history of Victoria up to the age of 97, which is also when she
reluctantly "surrendered" her driver's license. We will all miss her
indomitable spirit and her incredible interest and involvement in the lives
of her family, her many friends and her neighbours. Special thanks are
offered to the caring staff of Glenwarren (Central Park Lodges), Dr.
McGregor, Dr. Medhurst, Dr. Lapp and longtime caregivers Diana Lowres,
Pierette Reid, the caring members of the Chapter AA of the PEO Sisterhood
and the dedicated caregivers from South Victoria Home Care and the staff of
the Royal Jubilee. A memorial service will be held at St. Luke's Church,
3821 Cedar Hill Cross Roads, Victoria, on Saturday September 8th at 2:30
p.m., followed by a reception in the Church Hall. In lieu of flowers,

anything else but the clothes they were wearing. Due to her common sense,
they made it to safety. She married Dr. Gerhard Wagner, and both of them

wonderful conversation with uncountable friends, from down to earth farm
folks to intellectuals and well known business people in Vancouver. Visitors

sensitive nature, but above all she was sincere. Predeceased by her husband

Giraffes were recently moved to an endangered status - "Vulnerable":

Forget talking: Novak Djokovic invites girl to sing during his U.S. Open press conference
NEW YORK – Novak Djokovic advanced to the fourth round today with a fairly quick 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 win over American Sam Querrey. It was a routine match for the 2011 U.S. Open champion, who had beaten Querrey in seven of eight prior meetings.
The press conference that followed, though, was far from routine. After answering questions about his game and about fellow Serbian Aleksandra Krunic, asked if there were any particular classroom experiences that impacted his childhood development and intellectual curiosity, Djokovic mentioned music and poetry.
Then, as he so often does, Djokovic caught everyone off guard during his next answer.
"As we talked about music a little bit, if you don't mind, you know, this is a first-time experience for my dear friend Zia. If I may invite her to come here next to me, and if one of you can ask a question," he said as he motioned for Zia Uehling to come forward.

"She's a musician. She's nine years old and she has written how many songs so far?"
"I have five that are like ready, and I have about two books that I'm working on right now," the girl answered, standing next to the seated Djokovic.
"She's a prodigy, a future star, and this is a very valuable expereince for her. So please do ask one question," he prodded the media.
"What instrument do you play?" a reporter asked. She replied that she plays guitar. Another asked "Are you writing the music and the lyrics?" She is.
"Can you sing a song for us?"
"Sure, I will sing an original song I wrote called African Sun. I wrote this song to give hope to the children in Africa," she explained. "I never really play without my guitar, so I'll give it a try."
And so, rather than answering more questions, Djokovic sat back as a 9-year-old family friend sang everyone a song.

As Djokovic moved on to the portion of the press conference in which he answers questions in Serbian, the English-speaking media gathered around Uehling.
