ALLDERDICE, Edward Sidney
Born September 20th, 1957: Havre, Montana, United States
Passed August 31st, 2017: Salt Lake City, Wyoming, United States

On December 29th 2017, at 2:30 PM Join in celebrating the life of Bill and Penny's son Edward in the Atrium of the Medical Education Centre, Clinch Crescent, Memorial University of NL. Potluck reception follows. Parking available. Brother of Jacob Allderdice, and Frances Witte-Holland, Ed graduated from Prince of Wales Collegiate, the Cambridge School of Weston, and the College of the University of Chicago. Ed studied with the artist/printmaker Misch Kohn. Today and always we rejoice as witnesses to his creativity. We remember Edward as a round-faced happy child in a hay-rack surrounded by hungry yearlings. We remember his saying to his brother, "don't beat me, I'm not a drum." We remember the evening in his seventh year when he spoke out to the congregation of the Community Church of NYC, asking, "Why is our government playing monopoly with American and Vietnamese lives?" We remember the day he was asked if he planned to be a potter when he grew up? He responded: "I'm already a potter." We welcome Pam Barrie into our family. She was beside him when their bus crashed in Wyoming. We treasure remembrance from his friends and mentors. Their stories, and his shared pottery, poetry and etchings/collages, keep his spirit alive for we who knew him, as for you who in the future may come to be inspired by his vision. As we gather in Celebration of Edward's life and of his father William's life, may we be transformed through shared memories. Then let us go out with renewed resolution to celebrate and nurture all life, this day and always.

It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of Victor Bennett, beloved husband and father, on August 9 at the age of 88, in Kingston, Ontario. Born on December 13th, 1928 in St-John's, Newfoundland, to his parents Sydney and Winifred. Vic's passion for Newfoundland, aviation, travel and business was surpassed only by his love and devotion for his family, and in particular, the love of his life Constance, his wife of 62 years. At the young age of 14, Vic began his first flying lessons. Eight years later he enlisted with the RCAF. The following year he attended McGill University graduating with a business degree and subsequently received a law degree at UBC where he served as President of the Undergraduate Law Society. He relocated to Montreal and began his long and illustrious career in the aviation industry. Vic was President and then CEO of Innotech Aviation where he built a reputation as a leader in Canada's private aircraft full service industry. Over the course of his career Vic was the recipient of numerous awards including being inducted into the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame for his overall contributions to the aerospace industry. Vic earned the respect and admiration of friends and colleagues for his integrity, professionalism and personality all of which contributed to his status as an ambassador to the Canadian aviation industry. In keeping with his commitment towards advancing business in the local community, Vic co-founded RELIK's (Retired Entrepreneurs Living In Kingston). A volunteer group dedicated to mentoring young entrepreneurs in the Kingston area. Above all, family was everything to Vic. To his children, he was inspiring and instilled a passion for life. To his grandchildren, he was larger than life regaling them with his stories. He will be sorely missed by his wife Constance and his four daughters Sydney (Kelly Reimer), Leslie (Gerry Macken), Joanna (Brian Grassby) and Alex (Rolf Langer) and his two sons Guy and Christian as well as his grandchildren Alessandra, Arianne, Bennett, Jenna, Tori, Andrew, Jamie, Alex, Elyse and Nicolette.
