Banville, René

René Joseph Henri Banville lived a full and happy life and was a true inspiration to those who knew him. He was born on February 11th, 1928 in Montreal to Elizabeth (née Gagné) and Pierre Banville. René married Carmelle Chenier and was the much-loved father of 5, Hélène (Claude Joncas), Léo (Andrea Mondragon), Roxane (Scott Burwell), Pierre (Angela Bernard) and Renée (Roberto Santamaria), grandfather of 12, mentor, teacher and friend to so many more.

Grandpapa or ‘GP’, as he was known to his family, was a humble man with a quick sense of humor and an insatiable curiosity about the world around him which he loved to share. Early in life, this led to a degree in Arts, another in Chemistry and a Masters degree in Aeronautical Engineering. René had a career in the Canadian Air Force during which time he contributed to the Avro Arrow project and served on various bases including AFCENT in Europe and was commander of CFB La Macaza from 1968 to 1971.

GP had a profound love of nature and thrived on nurturing a large tree farm in the Laurentians. He would welcome family and friends and share his wood lore knowledge allowing them to learn and be closer to nature. He had an unwavering commitment to family and was very happy to be able to leave this tree farm as a legacy.

René died peacefully on January 25th 2012. His family cherishes his precious memory and mourns his passing. Visitation hours will be held at Heritage Funeral Home at 2871 St-Joseph Blvd in Orléans on Saturday, January 28th from 3 pm to 7 pm and on Sunday, January 29th from 11:30 am to 1 pm followed by a funeral service.

Dr. Irving Farmer "Hap" Kennedy

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 McLeod Street (at O'Connor) on Monday, January 10 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Salvation Army would be appreciated.
