Norman F. Cohrs passed away in Kingston on March 16, 2023. He was predeceased by his Ella, and older "�ʹ�����'s" siblings, Raymond, Edna, and Charles.

He was born in Sudbury and raised in Chapleau. Like his siblings before him, he attended �ʹ�����’s. 

He was a math teacher of note in Ottawa for 35 years in a profession he loved. He was predeceased by his beloved Maxine in 2018; parents, Carl and Ella; and older siblings, Raymond, Edna, Charles. He is survived by four children, Douglas, Stephen (Joan), Peter (Wilma) and Katrina; grandchildren, Paul, Heather, Andrew, Harrison, Elliot, Logan and Spencer; their spouses and great grandchildren, Ayden, Paige, Thea, Hudson and Parker (2022). He is survived, too, by his lively in-laws, Jacqui and Murray; nieces, Beverly, Nancy and Tara. 

Born in 1930 in Sudbury, raised in Chapleau, he attended �ʹ�����'s, graduating in 1957. He was a fine math teacher in Ottawa for 35 years, a profession he loved. He and his wife built a family with four energetic kids. They also built the beautiful ketch "Almitra" and sailed in Ottawa, then Kingston. Time on Almitra was his passion and elixir; the compliments he received about Almitra's classic good looks never ended.

He had an inquiring mind and considerable vision. He was a bit cynical and contrarian too. He also had a legendary dry sense of humour. He had a lifelong interest in steam trains; he was a bridge player, a chatty raconteur, depression-boy frugal, who loved a bargain; and a man of conviction and contradiction, delightfully so. 

He liked his knives sharp, his coffee hot, his politics left, his classical music loud, and the CBC always. He was a messy manager. He was very good with his hands; he could build almost anything with the most basic tools and he could solve (and create) almost any problem.

Over the last few years, his physical capabilities declined, but he still had his sharp mind. He kept doggedly shuffling along, and enjoyed drives along the Adolphus Reach, reminiscing about the good old sailing days.

Terry Carscadden died peacefully in the arms of his family in Sudbury on Feb. 14, 2023. 

Beloved husband of Sylvia Grace (Black). They were married in Applewood United Church in August 1959. He was the loving father of Susan Carscadden-Mifsud (Paul Mifsud), Barbara Maki (Bill), Ron Carscadden (Natalie), Janine Carscadden (Eva Ekeroth); inspiring grandpa to Kenny Maki (Emily Duhaime), Scott Maki (Cassandra Rees), Heidi Maki (Max Ryan), Sophie, Callum and Roman Carscadden; brother of Alan Carscadden and the late Robert Carscadden; brother-in-law to the late Betty (Agnew) Carscadden, late Norma (Lamon) Carscadden, late Peter and Susan Black, and Catherine Black.

He was a doctor, a teacher, a joyous skier, and an avid golfer. He was kind, and witty, and he gave himself generously to his family and the patients for whom he cared. He had a curiosity that made him well-versed in all things mechanical, the human body, phone technology, YouTube clips, and violins and violin makers, to mention a few of his many interests.

Terry was the son of the late Mabel (Ewing) and late Melville Carscadden of Sault Ste Marie, Ont. He attended Alex Muir Public School and graduated from Sault Collegiate. He went to �ʹ�����’s to study mechanical engineering, but his career path meandered and he graduated with a medical degree from �ʹ�����’s. After interning at Toronto Western Hospital, Terry and Sylvia and their young family moved to Lively, Ont., where he joined the Lively Medical Centre with Drs. Jack Marlow and Peter Bayly. He was a respected family physician, who retired from his family practice in 2005, continuing to work in clinics until 2014. He described those 45 years as a “wonderful career.”

Sports gave Terry’s life shape and focus. His first love was skiing, then he switched to driving fast; later he took up golf with a vengeance. He loved hockey and played with the Sudbury Hardocs. Finally, he bought the first Laser sailboat in the Sudbury area and learned to sail. He believed that he could learn anything by reading books and taking lessons from the “experts.”  Consequently, he nurtured a relationship and golfed with Sam Snead in 1992, and skied with Nancy Greene and Ernie McCullough.

He was a violinist and played in the Sault Symphonette, the Kingston and Sudbury Symphony Orchestras and the Jubilee Folk Group. He sang in church choirs all his life, and he and Sylvia were regulars at the Festival of the Sound in Parry Sound. He was the best roadie for Kampana Bells, Sylvia’s handbell choir.

He taught his children and grandchildren to golf and ski. In the summer, they shared rounds of golf and endless miles of water skiing and boating at the “camp” on Long Lake, a favourite spot for friends and family. On his 80th birthday, Terry led a long line, in formation, of those he had taught to ski, down a run at Searchmont.

His short teaching career at Alex Muir school in Sault Ste Marie left an indelible mark on his students, whom he encouraged to move ahead in an enrichment program that marked their lives with great opportunity and success. He was described as lively, dynamic, and supportive of his students.

Anton (Chip) Chiperzak of Tweed, Ont., passed away peacefully on March 9, 2023. He was 98.

He is survived by his sons, Robert Jy Chiperzak (Arts’71) and Doug Chiperzak; his brother, Edwin Chiperzak, and sister Virginia Chiperzak; as well as three grandchildren, Gavin, Megan and Kasia; and three great grandchildren, Abigail, Carson and Mykayla. He is also survived by his god-daughter, Dorothy Ann Barrett. He is predeceased by his parents, Frank and Agnes; stepmother, Francis; his wife of over 60 years, Margaret (Peggy); and his brothers, Stanley and Victor.

Chip was born in Chipman, Alta., on July 3, 1924, and grew-up on the family farm there. After high school, he attended �ʹ�����’s, receiving a Bachelor of English and Applied Science, with a concentration in engineering. For much of the remainder of his life, he was an active member of the �ʹ�����’s alumni.

After university, he was based out of Montreal until the late 1960s, before taking a position with the federal government in Industry, Trade and Commerce in Ottawa. During that time, he participated in numerous trade missions, which allowed him the opportunity to travel around the world. He loved playing golf and curling, but most of all figuring out how things work (the engineer in him). After retirement, he researched the family history and published a family record, which he distributed throughout the family.

Margaret Phillis Smith (nee Archibald) died peacefully in her 103rd year on March 3, 2023 in Belleville. 

She was a lifelong member of the United Church of Canada and a long-time member of Eastminster United Church. She worked tirelessly on countless committees.

Phillis was a proud graduate from �ʹ�����’s. She worked for the inspection board of the U.K. in Canada in 1942-43 inspecting anti-aircraft guns for the army. She was the first woman elected to the Hatley Township Council in the Eastern Townships of Quebec in 1970. She was a member of the Canadian Federation of University Women in Belleville. 

Flower gardening, playing bridge and reading were lifelong pleasures. Her smile, ready laugh, energy, and love will be greatly missed by her two daughters, her son, and grand-children.

Dr. Francis Kenney Tindall passed away peacefully at home on Jan. 15, 2023. He was 83. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Heather Tindall Sr.; six children, Heather Jr., Christopher, James, Zachary, Renee, and Allie; his brother, Chuck, and his wife, Linda; along with his nephew, Ian, and niece, Jen. He is also survived by eight grandchildren: Kylie, Maddie, Parker James, Regan, Hunter, Nick, Kenley, and Emma. Frank was predeceased by his parents, Mary and Francis.

Frank was born on Jan. 4,1940, to Mary G. Kenney and Francis G. Tindall Sr. of Syracuse, New York. After graduating high school, he went to �ʹ�����'s, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce and Economics. He proudly played football for �ʹ�����’s and was coached by his father. Following in his father’s footsteps, he became the head football coach of the Royal Military College (1963-1964) and also earned All Canadian End recognition.

During the 1961 Yates Cup Championship game against McGill, he was tackled and fractured his cervical spine, which became his inspiration to be a doctor. He went on to be president of his medical class in 1967 and graduated from �ʹ�����’s in 1968. As an orthopedic resident in Kingston, he created the first sports medicine clinic in Ontario and also organized the first medical coverage for high school football games in the province. In 1974, Frank started his medical practice in Brockville, where he established the first orthopedic practice for the region.

He moved to Phoenix, A.Z., in 1985, where he established Arizona Bone and Joint Specialists, which focused on orthopedic surgery and sports medicine. Frank quickly entrenched himself in the community and joined forces with then Scottsdale mayor, Herb Drinkwater, to connect Kingston and Scottsdale as sister cities. He also worked with numerous sports teams, including Arizona State University, the Arizona Coyotes, and served on the anti-doping board for the U.S.A. Track and Field Association.

In 1993, Frank met Heather and they fell fast in love, travelling the world, sailing, scuba diving, and wine tasting. They married on Nov. 9, 1996, at sunset in their backyard and combined their families, bringing together Frank’s three children, Heather, Christopher and James, with Heather’s three children, Zachary, Renee and Allie. Together, Frank and Heather were active on the John C. Lincoln board, helping to raise money annually for various charities.

In 2020, Frank retired after almost 50 years in medicine and spent his remaining time hosting friends and family, strumming his banjo, telling dad jokes and soaking up Arizona sunsets with Heather and their dog Penny. He took his last trip to La Jolla, C.A., for well-needed family time and one last ocean sunset.

Throughout his life, he notoriously cracked jokes with his grown children, made silly faces with his grandchildren, and even pulled some light-hearted pranks on the nurses. He had a great ability to make others smile and his sense of humour will be missed.

George was a husband, father, grandpa, surgeon, football legend, banjo player, joke teller, and cigar aficionado. His laugh and spirit will be sorely missed by his family and friends, as well as thousands of patients he worked with over his medical career.
