RICHARD STANLEY ELLIOTT "Dick"
Of the Town of Mount Royal, Quebec, died peacefully on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at the Jewish General Hospital.
Dick will be lovingly remembered by Olive Mulroney, his wife of 60 years and their children, Richard (Lena), Tim (Jane), Brian (Barbara), and Maureen (Douglas) Waterston. Dick will also be lovingly remembered by his twelve grandchildren, Raffi (Mariam), Patrick, Maral, Matthew, Alex, Margaret, Catherine, Sasha, Nina, Douglas, Kathleen, Brian; by his great-granddaughter, Maral Olivia; and by his brother, Terry.
Dick was predeceased by his brother, Bill. Dick will be sorely missed by his extended family and many friends.
Dick was born on December 11, 1933 in Neudorf, Saskatchewan, to Stanley and Jean McBurney Elliott and grew up in Rosetown, SK. Dick was a standout hockey player, playing for the University of Saskatchewan varsity team and maintained a lifelong love of the game. He was also a devoted fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders football team. His family have been season ticket holders for 70 years. Dick would go to extreme lengths not to miss a game on tv.
No event was more sacred than a Riders game.
After graduating as a civil engineer from the University of Saskatchewan in 1955, Dick moved to Baie Comeau, QC to work on the Manicouagan Dam. It was here that he met his lifelong love, Olive, who for the next sixty years would travel the world with him enjoying life's adventures.
Dick, who often would jokingly refer to himself as an "itinerant construction worker", was in fact a highly respected engineer. He managed major construction projects over a career that spanned six decades. The result was that he and Olive would move their family at the end of each project to a new location, with a new set of challenges, which took them to live all over Quebec and Ontario as well as Iran, Trinidad, Slovenia and South Africa.
The most important thing in Dick's life was his family. He was a proud father whose greatest joy was to spend time with his children and play with his grandchildren.
He will be remembered for his compassion, hospitality and loyalty to family and friends and "family" was always broadly defined. Though a citizen of the world, he loved his country and was a proud Canadian.
The family would like to thank the Jewish General Hospital, nurses, doctors and staff; the team at the West Island Manor where he has resided for the last 18 months, and his personal care givers.
Visitation at Kane Fetterly funeral home, 5301 Décarie boulevard on Friday, April 13, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Funeral Mass to be held on Saturday, April 14 at 2:00 p.m. at Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish, 1020 Laird Boulevard, Town of Mont Royal.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dick's memory to Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish, 1020 Laird Boul., Mont Royal; or The Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada (http://www.heartandstroke.ca).

JOAN JARDINE GOODALL (nee Spaulding)
Surrounded by her family, Joan passed away from congestive heart failure on April 9, 2018 at Sunnybrook Palliative Care. Greatly loved and missed by her children, Martha (Gordon) Main, Sandy (Josiane) Goodall, Janet (Roger) Dickhout. Joan was predeceased by youngest son, Colin. Adored by 10 grandchildren, Jimmy, John, Fiona, Heather, Alex, Jonas, Julie, Graham, Allison, and Jenny, as well as 12 great-grandchildren.
Joan was born on August 7, 1922. She loved to regale the family with stories of her childhood spent roaming the beaches of Shediac, NB with her sister, Ruth (Coop) and cousin, Anne (Petite). At only 20, she graduated from Mt.
Allison University with a BSc. in biology, and moved to Toronto. There she worked at the Connaught Laboratory, and met husband, RCAF W/C Alex Goodall (predeceased) with whom she shared 50 years of loving marriage.
They lived on air force bases throughout Canada and Europe, before settling in Toronto in 1966.
Joan loved people, and her exuberance and joie de vivre drew others, young and old, to her. Her love of nature and adventurous spirit saw her picnicking and fishing on the French River and watching big game on safari in South Africa at age 89!!! With her curious nature and inquiring mind, she was a life long learner and avid reader. Her strong Christian values and urge to help others led her to lead a life of volunteerism - Girls Guides, CNIB, Red Cross, Dorothy Ley Hospice and especially her church family, at St. George's. But her family was always her biggest source of pride and joy.
A Funeral Service will be held at St. George's-on-the-Hill, Anglican Church, on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at 11 a.m., interment to follow at church cemetery, reception after in church hall.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Dorothy Ley Hospice.
