Montréal QC H3V 1E7
(514) 342-8000
Warm thanks to the 6th floor
team at St. Mary’s Hospital
who went outof their way to
make her comfortable with such
exceptional care.
Contributions in her memory may
be made to St. Mary’s Hospital
Foundation.
Incredibly gifted for languages,
passionate about architecture,
Huguette Rajotte Schwartz possessed
several qualities which led her
to become one of Montréal’s
foremost tourist guides. An
excellent communicator in five
languages, she helped thousands
of visitors and tourists discover
her beloved city through her
much appreciated tours.
Loving wife, mother and
grandmother, supremely elegant
and original with a remarkable
wit, she was curious and always
ahead of her time. She was the
first Montrealer to drive a scooter,
the first francophone to sing in a
Ukrainian choir, and her in-depth
knowledge of jazz music and
musicians led her to co-found the
Emanon Jazz Society, a group of
passionate connoisseurs which left
its indelible mark on Montréal’s
music scene in the 1950s.
Her versatility was put to use
during Expo 67 when she headed
the Québec Pavillion’s team of
hostesses. Her functions led her
to meet numerous heads of
state (including French President
Charles de Gaulle just before his
infamous “Vive le Québec libre !”
speech at Montréal’s City Hall) and
eventually to become General
Secretary of the prestigious
France-Canada Association.
Her passing leaves an unfillable void.DOUGLASHECTOR

Lachlan’s mother, Terry
Bursey (Ian), his father and
step-mother Brenda Conboy,

becamethecentreofhislife.
Born in Ottawa and raised in
Fredericton, he graduated in
Geology from the University
ofNewBrunswick.
As a geologist,he worked all
overnorthernCanada,Alaska,
and the Canadian Arctic. The
explorer in him took him to
the western deserts of
Australia, and finally to Papua
New Guinea. It was there he
found a new family, and the
search for gold was enriched
byaloveofthenativepeople
of the area. That love was
returned by the people of
Engaprovince,andespecially,
the Puman Aiyel and Yokorin
tribes among whom he was
known as "a man who greets
people well." As a
spontaneous gesture of
affection and acceptance, a
traditional two day village
funeral has been heldin
CrownRidgePNG.
Interment will be in Keswick
New Brunswickata later date
andaportionofhisasheswill
return to Papua New Guinea
at the request of the
community.DEATHSDOUGLAS LORNE TURNERIn memory of our father, Douglas Lorne Turner, who passed away September
8, 2019 at the age of 91. He is survived by his wife, Lois Rae Turner (nee
Jenkins), his daughters Anne and Mary, and daughter-in-law, Antje. His son
Brian pre-deceased him.
Dad was the youngest of six children born to Bert and Edythe Turner, both
of whom emigrated from England. Directly out of high school he joined the
RCAF,initiallyasatechnician,but ultimately movi ng toofficer trainingto
become a navigator. One of his early postings was to CFB Summerside in
PEI where he met and married our mother, and where Anne was born. His
career moved him all around Canada, and to England to fly on exchange
with the RAF at Tangmere. On his return to Canada he and his pilot partner
made the first Trans Canada flight for the CF100. Mary was born in Alberta
while he was with the Fighter Training Squadron at CFB Cold Lake. Brian
was born in Toronto while he was studying at the Canadian Forces Staff
College. Later he commanded CFB Armstrong, one of the Pinetree Line radar
bases. He retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and, ready for his next
challenge, undertook a second career with the Ontario Housing Corporation.
There he was very involved in the acquisition of the lands for the planned
Seaton community in Pickering.
In his true retirement he became a disciple of Tai Chai both as a student and
as a teacher, no doubt contributing to the wonderful health he enjoyed right
up until the end. Golf was a lifelong passion, as was wine. But above all,
he was a voracious reader, studying a number of international newspapers
each day, and ordering endless books from the Toronto Public Library on
his well-used iPad. Dad and Mum also enjoyed long walks in the local park
systemuntil Mum felland broke her hip recently.Atthis time, Dad embarked
on his third career,that of devoted care-giver,seeingher throughrecovery,
mobility issuesand memoryloss.
While we understandit is hard for family and friendsnot to have an
opportunity to come together, we are respecting his express wish for
no ceremony whatsoever,and in lieu of flowers, for donations to be
made to The Salvation Army. He will always be in our thoughts,and
perhaps one evening, as you sip a nice glass of wine, he’ll be in yours.
We know he would enjoy that.CLASSIFIED
