CRAWFORD
February 3, 1926
July 26, 2019Donald James Crawford passed
away peacefully, at the Oakville
Trafalgar Hospital on July 26, 2019.
Don was a true gentleman and a
man who truly loved his wife, his
children, his grandchildren, his
great grandchildren, his church
and his music.
In September, Don and his wife,
Helen Crawford would have
celebrated their 70th wedding
anniversary. They met at
McMaster University, after Helen
smartly invited Don to the Sadie
Hawkins Dance.
Don loved and always had
time for his four children (Fred,
Shelley, Tom and Robert), his
grandchildren (Amanda, Lindsay,
Shannon, Emily, Mike, Sarah,
Jacob and Abbey) and his great-
grandchildren (Ethan, Ava, Austin
and Maisie). He always loved to
hear about their busy lives and
activities.
Don also loved his church. Don
and Helen were members of
Lorne Park Baptist Church and
through the years, Don would
participate in or chair various
committees, volunteer for Out
of the Cold, stuff envelops at
CBM or even get involved with
policy meetings for BCOQ and the
Baptist World Alliance.
Don also loved music and at the
age of 50, decided that he would
start learning the cello. He took
lessons, went to camps with
teenagers and played in a local
Oakville String Group. He loved
it. Later in life to continue his love
of music, he joined the Kerr Street
Singers, took singing lessons and
sang with them for many years.
Don grew up in St. Catharines
and graduated with a physics
and chemistry degree and
Masters from McMaster. He
joined DuPont where he had
a successful career working in
Toronto, Montreal and Kingston.
Don took early retirement and
rather than slow down, worked
for many years with the Jackman
Foundation. He had the enviable
position of helping to distribute
funds to deserving charities and
organizations.
For many years, Don spent his
free time sailing and boating and
also found enough time to get his
Private Pilot license and in order
to give back to the community, he
became a Cub Leader.
For the last 10 years, Don had
been having early morning
dialysis three times per week at
the Oakville Trafalgar Hospital.
This was extremely draining and
restricting for Don and Helen.
The nurses, volunteers and other
dialysis patients were like family
to him and he had excellent care.
Don was loved by many for
his great sense of humour,
his positive outlook and his
exemplary character. He will be
missed and remembered with
much love.
The Celebration of Life Service
will be held on August 2nd at
Kopriva Taylor Funeral Home,
64 Lakeshore Road West,
Oakville, at 1:00 p.m. Reception

may be made to the Canadian

College, Kingston (#3021) where
he earned the nickname “Burro”
for his tenacity. He graduated
from Civil Engineering at the
University of Toronto and then
completed a Master of Science
degree at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.
Jim was a recognized expert in
the field of water purification and
waste water management. He
worked as a consulting engineer
at James F. MacLaren Associates
as part of the team that designed
Canada’s first metropolitan-scale
sewage treatment plant - the
Humber Wastewater Treatment
System in Toronto, opened in- Jim later consulted on
projects with Gore & Storrie
before he became a professor
at Ryerson University from 1967
to 1991 - where he was one of
the first to provide coursework
on computer. He was President
of the American Water Works
Association and recipient of the
Water Environment Federation’s
Bedell Award. Jim was also a
director on the board of St. Marys
Cement Company.
Jamie’s favorite pastimes were
working on the computer,
painting military miniatures,
genealogy, reading, listening
to music, watching anything
gridiron and college hoops,
driving machinery at Midloch
Farm in his penny loafers, and
taking many memorable family

always thought that summer
camp was truly important for his
boys because it gave him a few
peaceful summers.
DEATHSJOYCE ALEXANDERIt is with great sadness we announce
the passing of our dearly loved
mother, Joyce Alexander on
Sunday, July 21, 2019 at the age
of 81. Joyce (“Joy”) passed away
just as the sun was rising over the
Kamloops B.C. hillside and the
birds were starting to sing. She was
surrounded by her loving children
who will miss her dearly.
Joy will be best remembered for
her great love of family, and her
love of all creatures great and small.
Her grandchildren spent endless
summer hours playing in Nanny’s
pool, enjoying her delicious baking,
and joining her for daily dog walks.
Joy had a dog by her side all her
life, providing her with much love,
laughter and companionship. The
spiders, squirrels and crows have
also lost a dear friend.
Joyce was born and raised in
Winnipeg, Manitoba. This is
also where she learned to love
a good prairie wind; a love
that remained all her life. She
trained to be a Registered Nurse
at the St. Boniface Hospital and
worked several years there before
meeting the love of her life,
Bill Alexander, on a blind date.
They married in August 1961 and
remained happily together for 37
years. Their married life took Joy
from Winnipeg to Vancouver,
Mississauga, Minneapolis, New
Liskeard, and Burlington. When
Joy was widowed at age 60 she
moved to Kamloops, where she
and Bill had planned to retire, and
resided there for the last 20 years.
Joy always kept in contact with
her family and small, close circle
of friends, no matter how near or
far they lived apart.
Joyce is predeceased by her
husband, Charles William (“Bill”)
Alexander; and survived by her
three children, Duncan (Rosanna)
Alexander, Nancy (Russell) Barnes
and Donna (Rob) Brooks; her eight
grandchildren, Elizabeth, Alex,
Madeline, Cameron, Laura, Katie,
Ryan and Becky; sister, Donna
(Gordon) Graham; and brother,
Dan (Edna) Barlow.
A Celebration of Life will be held
on Saturday, September 7 in
Kamloops B.C. Please R.S.V.P
Nancy Barnes (nrbarnes@telus.
net), with details to follow. In
lieu of flowers, donations can be
made to the Terry Fox Foundation

MemorializeandcelebratealovedoneinTheGlobeandMail.TOADVERTISE1-866-999-9237|[email protected]Boady Santavy seemed to gain more confidence and swag-
ger with each lift Monday at the Lima Pan American Games.
The 22-year-old Canadian was the weightlifter to beat at
Mariscal Caceras Coliseum until he came up short with his
final lift in the clean and jerk.
After nailing his first five attempts on the day, his sixth –
this time at 215 kilograms – proved to be his undoing as he
settled for silver in the men’s 96-kg division. Santavy fin-
ished one kg behind gold medalist Jhonatan Rivas Mosque-
ra of Colombia.
“We weren’t too sure what [he] was going to do so we
wanted to do a big lift,” Santavy said. “My knee was pretty
sore and I think it got to my head.
“I think I’m physically good for it, but mentally I just lost
it.”
Santavy looked primed for gold after lifting 208 kg with
his previous attempt. He nodded his head after the effort,
tapped his heart twice and extended an index finger in the
air.
The competition had become a two-man race with Vene-
zuela’s Keydomar Vallenilla well back in third.
Rivas Mosquera answered the Canadian with a 210-kg lift
to shift the pressure. The deci-
sion was made for Santavy to go
for 215 kg, but he only got the bar
to his waist before dropping it
down.
A tweak in his right knee,
something he called “nothing
too major,” was a factor.
“I felt strong, but when I feel a
little bit of pain, it plays on my
mind,” he said. “It’s like, ‘Oh man.’ Just the pain really gets
to my head sometimes.”
The result meant Rivas Mosquera didn’t need to come
out for his final lift and could start celebrating in the warm-
up area behind the stage.
Santavy, from Sarnia, Ont., led the nine-man field after
the three-lift snatch portion. He barely seemed to strain
with his first lift of 166 kg, tossing the bar down as if ready
for more.
He tacked on five more kgs for his next lift and had the
same result. Santavy yelled with joy after nailing his third
lift of 176 kg, pumped his fists and hugged his father at the
side of the stage before lifting him up for good measure.
Santavy had the early momentum in the clean-and-jerk
portion, assuredly nodding his head as he brushed chalk on
his hands before lifting 203 kg.
The 208-kg effort that followed proved to be his peak.
“Sometimes in this sport, I find if you are satisfied with a
number the next one is, ‘Forget it,’ ” coach Dalas Santavy
said. “I think maybe a little bit of his heart was satisfied
with what he did. As a coach, I can see that.”
Santavy, who won silver in the 94-kg division last year at
the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, made his Pan Am
debut four years ago in Toronto.
“I was young and I got last place,” he said. “So from last
place to second place, I’m pretty excited with that. I wanted
to go from last to first, but last to second is not so bad.
“It’s a good warm-up for world championships, too, so it
sets me up pretty nice.”
Maude Charron of Rimouski, Que., was fourth in the
women’s 64-kg event.

American Games women’s all-around title on Monday.
Black, 23, scored 55.250 points to edge American Riley
McCusker (55.125) for the top spot. Brazil’s Flavia Saraiva
was third with 54.350 points. Top scores on vault and
uneven bars gave Black a sizable lead after two rotations,
and she was able to withstand strong beam and floor
routines from McCusker.
Star water skier Whitney McClintock Rini of Cambridge
Ont., earned a pair of silver medals, taking second in
women’s jump and women’s slalom. Those results in-
creased her Pan Am medal total to 13 since making her
debut at the 2007 Rio de Janeiro Games. Calgary’s Ste-
phen Neveu took silver in men’s slalom and Dorien
Llewellyn of Innisfail, Alta., took silver in men’s tricks.
McClintock-Rini and her stepdaughter Paige Rini will
compete Tuesday in the women’s overall competition.
Canadian canoeists and kayakers added three silver
and two bronze medals to the overall haul. Drew Hodges
won his second medal of the Lima games with a third-
place finish in the men’s C1 1,000 metres. Hodges teamed
with Craig Spence for silver in the C2 1,000m on Sat-
urday.
Andréanne Langlois of Lac-Beauport, Que., (women’s
K1 500m), Marshall Hughes of St. John’s (men’s K1 1,000
m) and the team of Jacob Steele of Halifax and Jarret
Kenke of Saskatoon (men’s K2 1,000 m) claimed silver
medals. Anne-Sophie Lavoie-Parent of Trois-Rivières and
Rowan Hardy-Kavanagh of Ottawa had Canada’s other
bronze in the women’s C2 500.
Canada’s dressage team of Toronto’s Lindsay Kellock,
Tina Irwin of Stoufville, Ont., Montreal’s Naima Moreira-
Laliberté and Jill Irving of Moncton won gold with
220.287 points, ahead of the United States (217.821) and
Brazil (204.223).
Canada picked up silver in the Triathlon mixed relay.
The team of Desirae Ridenour of Cowichan Bay, B.C.,
Hannah Henry of Victoria, Charles Paquet of Port Cartier,
