* In addition to carrying out his regular
duties as Senior Technical Gunmounting Officer on the staff of the Director
of Naval Ordnance, Lieutenant Lindsay has performed invaluable service in
working in collaboration with the British Admiralty Technical Mission. He
was personally responsible for working out the major change in the design of
a new gunmounting being manufactured in Canada which enabled an unique
combination of anti-aircraft weapons to be developed and made ready for use
in His Majesty's Canadian ships allocated for the war against Japan. The
development of this weapon in Canada to meet a particular operational
requirement in a remarkably short period of time was in considerable part,
due to this Officer. |

* For over 50 years, Richard Steele has made
outstanding contributions to horticulture in Canada. One of North America's
leading experts in rhododendrons and azaleas, he is renowned for having
developed hundreds of new hybrids that can withstand Atlantic Canada's harsh
growing climate. His infectious enthusiasm for rhododendrons and his
willingness to share his vast knowledge have earned him the respect of plant
breeders nationally and internationally. Bayport Plant Farm, his nursery of
30,000 ornamental plants, will be a living legacy for generations of
Canadians who share his passion. |

Jack H. (Jake), O.C., LLD After a short stay at
Ottawa General, Jake has passed away in the full embrace of his loved and loving
family. Born in April, 1921 on an Ontario tobacco farm, he was raised and
educated in Ottawa and completed his studies at Queen's University, Kingston,
B.A., LLD. In World War II he welcomed responsibility as a naval officer on many
ships, notably HMCS Valleyfield which was torpedoed and sunk in the frigid North
Atlantic in 1944. His survival only ensured and reinforced his commitment to
deliver a genuine public service to a country that he loved. An interest in
trade and internationalism brought him post-war to the Department of External
Affairs and in due course to appointments as High Commissioner to the United
Kingdom (1971-1975) and Ambassador to the United States of America (1975-1977).
His focused dedication and overwhelming work ethic were rewarded with varied
positions of significance throughout his life, including Deputy Minister of
Industry, Trade and Commerce (1968-1971). In 1977 he returned to Canada to act
as Ambassador and Canadian Coordinator of the Tokyo Round of World Trade
Negotiations (1977-1979). Upon his well-deserved retirement from the federal
public service, but still hungry for intellectual challenge, he accepted the
Vice-Chairmanship at Bank of Montreal and then represented the Province of
Quebec as its Free Trade Policy Advisor during NAFTA negotiations. He received
the Public Service Outstanding Achievement Award in 1975 and was appointed an
Officer of the Order of Canada in 1982. The many achievements in his
professional life only pale against the happiness and love that he shared with
dear Joan, his wife of 55 years, his four children, Hilary, Martin, Jennifer
(Charlie), Ian (Andrea) and his grandchildren, Andrew, Colin, Alec, Beverly,
Thomas, Madeline, Emily, Jack, Robert and the late Fiona, who will miss his
great wit, dining-room table exuberance and unsuccessful efforts at discipline.
He has been a great friend of many and his absence at Round Table, CHIMO,
Stammtisch, White Pine and on the salmon rivers will be conspicuous. Funeral
service will take place at St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church, 125 MacKay Street
on Monday, April 7th, 2008 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the NAC
Orchestra Bursary would be appreciated. Condolences/Donations/ Tributes at

Returning to New Brunswick, Bruce became
officer-in-charge of the eastern Canada waterfowl surveys for Ducks Unlimited.
The Wildlife Management Institute of Washington D.C. took over this work done by
Ducks Unlimited and formed the Northeastern Wildlife Station. Located at the
University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, it would later (in 1962) become an
adjunct of the Department of Biology. Bruce was appointed Director of the
Station in 1947. As Station Director and Research Associate in biology, he
supervised the overall wildlife research program, conducted personal research,
directed the wildlife graduate program of the University and taught at both
undergraduate and graduate levels. His appointment as Adjunct Professor of
Wildlife Biology at the University came in 1971. That same year he also received
the John Pearce Memorial Award from the Northeast Section of the Wildlife
Society for contributions in the area of wildlife administration, research and
public education in eastern Canada. He retired 1974.
Published: The
frogmen of Burma : the story of the Sea Reconnaissance Unit (1968); close to
100 scientific and semi-popular titles including six books on black ducks,
eastern cougars, and wildlife anecdotes. |
