A Celebration Of Life: Bruce Wilkie - PuslinchToday

Wednesday, March 27, 2019

Bruce graduated in 1965 from the OVC, winning the Winegard medal as the top student. The same year he married Dorothy Ann Gibb, whom he'd met during High School. After a year of clinical practice in Chilliwack, BC, Bruce and Dorothy moved to New York state where Bruce completed his PhD at Cornell University in 1971 in Veterinary Immunopathology. Two years of post-doctoral work in Bern, Switzerland was followed by an appointment to the Ontario Veterinary College in 1973, as professor of Veterinary Immunomicrobiology. Bruce had a distinguished career at the University until retiring in 2006, after which he was granted the title University Professor Emeritus honouring his outstanding research record and significant contribution to the training and development of numerous graduate students. In 2015 the OVC Alumni Association named Bruce the Distinguished Sciences Alumnus for his long, productive academic career. Notable, Bruce and his colleague Patricia Shewen developed a highly successful vaccine for Shipping Fever Pneumonia in cattle, called Presponse. This innovation earned a Bronze Trophy in the 1989 Canada Awards for Business Excellence. Bruce also proudly organized the first International Veterinary Symposium, held in 1986 in Guelph, among his many professional achievements. His interests outside of academia included running, photography, skiing and perhaps most significantly, racing his vintage Alfa Romeos, the latter hobby being avidly embraced by his wife Dorothy as well. The pair spent untold hours travelling to racetracks in the US to pursue their passion. Given the devastating diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease in 2007...

The kindness of strangers: shopping for funeral flowers and learning to be open - CBC.ca

Saturday, March 02, 2019

As a last-minute detail, I was asked to order some extra flowers to put on top of her casket so I headed off to Chilliwack and somehow ended up in your shop. I remember feeling pretty overwhelmed as I wandered around your store, struggling to find something appropriate, so I went up to the counter to ask for help.You must have noticed something was wrong, because you very kindly asked if everything was OK.I don't know why but, at that moment, everything just came crashing to a head and I burst into tears. Sobbing, I told you, "My mom just died and I need to buy her some flowers for her casket."Pat Penner's mother, Helen, pictured on her 75th birthday. (Submitted by Pat Penner)A lot of people might have been paralyzed by my tears, or of the sight of a strange woman weeping in your store, but you came immediately out from around the counter and gave me the biggest hug."I'm so, so sorry. Let's get these flowers ordered and let me help you," you said. That kindness and support was just such a comfort at that awful time. You did exactly the right thing at the right time and I've never forgotten the situation, or your kindness. I want you to know that incident reinforced my philosophy to reach out and ask if someone needs help - we should all just make ourselves open to people who are struggling.Sometimes, the smallest things have such an impact - even if the person doing it has no idea. You gave me such comfort and support 16 years ago and I have never forgotten it.Thank you.Yours,Pat PennerIf you have a story about the kindness of strangers, email The Early Edition at earlyed@cbc.ca.Let's block ads!

This mix of delight and remorse is exactly why Christ Lutheran Church in Chilliwack is hosting Burying the Old Year: New Orleans Jazz Funeral for the year 2018 on Jan. 6. It's a chance to have a little fun, "lay down" your regrets, reflect on the past year and get a fresh start on 2019 while a New Orleans Jazz band swings those old-time hymns. "It's a way for us to come together as a community, sing some great music to help us mark the end of the old year and the beginning of the new one," said pastor Dean Andersen, who will be guiding the Creole Jazz Band and the crowd through the event. "Those attending the ‘funeral' will have an opportunity to jot on a piece of paper - which will be kept private - some of the things they would like to bury with the old year. As the service progresses people will be invited to ‘lay down' their regrets by placing them in a symbolic memorial box that will be ‘buried' as the service closes."
