(From the December 12, 2010 edition of the Ottawa Citizen) Cory Paquette: A smile that could light a room Parts of his character spoke deeply. His devotion to his family was unquestionable. His departure has left a deep hole in the lives of those who loved him. The hole will always be there because nothing can replace him, but the jagged edges will gradually and delicately be smoothed out by the love his friends and family had for him. His smile could light up a room, his deep blue eyes could work miracles and his laughter could lighten any mood. His voice carried the assurance that "all will be well." His love of nature reflected his soul and his spirit. His photographic talents were astounding. He loved taking photographs of nature: a snowflake, an owl on a fence post, a sunrise. We look out the window and keep expecting to see him walking home. We see him in a crowd. We expect his daily telephone call. Our tears subside and we remember once again the smile and the laugh and we are well for a time. Our son was a technician in heating and cooling with a talent for troubleshooting. He loved the field in which he worked. He would never walk away from a challenge and would resolve it no matter how long it took. He had a family that loved him dearly. Cory's soul partly resides in Nunavut. He had travelled there a few times, once on a school trip in 2000 and a couple of times for his work. Cory connected with some Inuit values and had fallen in love with them: living off nature, hunting and fishing, spiritual values and a certain freedom from living off the land. A former teacher commented that his soul had never come back from his school trip. Someday, his father and I, and his sister and her partner will travel to Nunavut and spread some of his ashes ... where they belong. From the time Cory started school he created strong bonds with his friends. He was faithful and had integrity. He respected family traditions and was proud of his French heritage. He had great empathy for those who suffered. I remember a time when he shared with me with me how painful it was for him to see someone suffering: he was only about 10 years old. I also remember him sharing with me his Grade 5 science hypothesis: because he was colour-blind, he could only identify certain colours. But, because of that, he would appreciate the world for what it represented and not for the colours themselves. For example, a rainbow, a sunset, a sunrise: They were beautiful for what they could represent and it was not only about the colours. His eyes could appreciate them like no others'. He loved to spend a day on his all-terrain vehicle and travel in the woods with his friends. He loved camping and sharing good times with his buddies. He loved his son and his wife very much. It was important to Cory that his son grow up to learn about family values and traditions. We miss him, we love him and we believe he is happy. — Diane Paquette |

Condolences and Donations or viewing of a Photographic Tribute at 
Squadron Leader Irving Farmer 'Hap' Kennedy WWII Veteran DFC &
Bar RCAF M.D. It is with great sadness that the family of Dr. 'Bus' Kennedy announce the passing of their beloved
husband, brother, father and grandfather in his Cumberland
home on Thursday, January 6, 2011. He was in his 89th year. 'Bus' is survived by his loving wife Fern (Dale), brother
Laurie (Teresa), sister Joyce, daughters Ann and Carol (Dan), grandchildren Robin, Curtis, Laura, Mark and Sean,
and many nieces and nephews; step daughters Nancy (Russ) and Martha (Graham) and their daughters Meredith, Robin,
Samantha and son Peter. Fondly remembered by Dorothy Kennedy. Predeceased by his parents Robert and Eva, brother
Robert Alvin (Ruth), brother Carleton 'Tot' in 1944, and sister Evelyn (Joe Burdett). Bus was born on February
4, 1922 in the family home in the village of Cumberland. At the age of 18, Bus enlisted in the RCAF in July 1940.
His ambition was to be a fighter pilot and after flying Hurricanes in England in 1941 (263 Squadron RAF), he was
transferred to Spitfires in 1942 (421 Squadron RCAF). In late 1942, he arrived in Malta (249 Squadron RAF). In
Malta, 'Hap' (as he was known to his fellow pilots) was awarded, as an Ace, with the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Years later he wrote of enthusiasm for the Allied effort in the Malta days. Due to be posted back to the UK, "the
Invasion of Sicily was on and was too good to miss." He was given permission to join 111 Squadron in Sicily
(1943) then transferred to 93 Squadron as a flight commander. Posted back to the UK in 1944, with the invasion
of France looming, Hap joined 401 Squadron RCAF and with morale high, soon was in France after the Normandy Invasion.
He was awarded with the bar to his DFC. In July, leading a Squadron, he was hit by flak, bailed out, and evaded
capture with help from a French family and the Maquis. In England, he learned that his younger brother, Tot, had
just been killed (Bomber Squadron 434). Hap returned to Canada. Hap often said of his war experiences that "it
wasn't the combat but the deep comradeship" that he recalled with fondness. Years later, Hap was decorated
with the French Legion of Honour. After the war, Hap studied medicine at the University of Toronto, graduating
in 1950. Following internship, he worked as a physician to the Inuit through Indian & Northern Affairs and
set up a general practice in Lanark. In 1961, returning to Cumberland, he built his own clinic where he practiced
medicine for 37 years. He was greatly respected by thousands of patients throughout the township for his dedication
and compassion as a country doctor. Retirement allowed Hap to further enjoy that which brought him greatest pleasure:
his love of nature, reading, flying his aircraft out of Rockcliffe Flying Club, and his family. He was extraordinarily
diverse in his interests and skills. He was a naturalist, a gardener, a philosopher, a teacher, an author, and
a poet. He sang Robbie Burns, he quoted Robert Frost, he watched hockey; he was a thinker, advisor, listener, and
a provider. He was a man of integrity and honesty, a humble man who shunned attention, yet drew people to him.
He was gentle yet tough as nails. "I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two
roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less travelled by, And that made all the difference. - The Road
Not Taken, Robert Frost. Friends are invited to visit at the Central Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 315

GRAHAM, Geoffrey Edwin Fredrick, loving father of Brittany and Mackenzie; husband,
lover and best friend of the true "love of his life" Sandra, passed away on Tuesday, November 24, 2009
after 51 years of doing what he loved -- enjoying life to the fullest and loving his family. Born in Montreal,
raised in Beaconsfield, educated at Carleton (BA Criminology '81), lived in Orleans and thrived at Tremblant. A
28 year veteran of the Ontario Provincial Police (Westport, Rockland and Major Crime East Region), Geoff was the
good guy committed to catching the bad guys. An avid tele-mark skier he was obsessed with being the first on the
mountain ever searching for the pow; nothing made him happier than stoking the fire at the F'Inn Cabin with the
Woodcutters and a fine single malt. Respected by his peers, loved by his many, many special lifelong friends and
cherished by his family including his parents Peter and Teddi (deceased), brother Jamie (Maureen), sister Jennifer
(Andy) and dear Scott (Robin), brothers-in-law the other Scott (Patti) and Jamie (Nancy), Bob and Joan. He was
the neatest uncle to Alex, Brendan, Jesse, Coco, Owen and Katie; Rob, Rick and Sam. Our Buffedviking, a devoted
and relentless Viking fan (now they get Favre!), was bigger than life with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, a
song always in his head and heart full of love for his girls -- he is so missed. Friends, colleagues and family
are invited to share their stories and laughter and toast the Life of Geoff. A Scottish wake will be held on Saturday,
November 28, 6:00 pm till 1:00 am at the Hampton Inn and Conference Centre, 200 Coventry Road off the Vanier Parkway.

like my pocket, I feel you watching down on us now and forever.. You can read and sign the Guest Book by
