Friends, family and football community mourn loss of Sandy Ruckstuhl - www.ottawacommunitynews.com/

RedBlacks — chimed in and put it on their Twitter feed, giving their condolences to Myers and to Sandy’s family. ” In one letter, Dave Lovegrove, president of the York Region Football Association in Newmarket, Ont., described Ruckstuhl as a figure who was respected and revered across Ontario’s football community. “He stood up for the little guy when it was important, and he tried to keep cooler heads together when the politics became an obstacle,” Lovegrove said. “But most of all, he spent much of his time giving to the game and its players. He always had time for people who needed it. He was an example of what I want my boys to grow into.” Claudia Jones, the club’s treasurer, worked with Sandy for 12 years and remembers him as someone with a sense of humour, and who had an endless supply of compassion for others. “He liked to joke around. My title was treasurer, so he used to call me Moneybags,” Jones said. “He really was a jokester, he really did care. He would always make sure to check up on you, make sure everyone was OK. He took the time to get to know you on a personal level.” She said working for Ruckstuhl felt like being part of a family. Even his wife, Linda, was heavily involved with the club. “Linda was always by his side,” she said. “They always did everything together. She was a director, and she’s always been very active and right by Sandy’s side during the whole thing. It was definitely a family affair.” She said the club’s family ethos encompassed its players too, with Ruckstuhl taking a personal interest in the kids, their well-being and their success, whether they could afford to play with the club or not. “One of the big things he always wanted was that no kid who wanted to play would ever be turned away just because financially they couldn’t afford to play,” Jones said. “It was always made very clear that no kid would ever be turned away.” That legacy, she said, is something the club’s staff and executive members will work to preserve in his honour. “Most of us are pretty much saying the same thing,” she said. “We are going to do our best to keep his legacy continuing with the club in regards to the same principal that no kid should ever be turned away.” Let's block ads!

Clark Davey, 1928-2019: 'The true journalist of journalists' - Ottawa Citizen

He was heartbroken after failing his medical, but an English teacher told him that people would pay him to write. So he enrolled in the first journalism degree course taught at University of Western Ontario, graduating in 1948 and joining the newsroom of the Chatham Daily News.There, he worked under Richard "Dic" Doyle, but moved to Kirkland Lake when the Thomson newspaper chain made him editor-in-chief of the Northern Daily News. His time there was brief, however, as his girlfriend, Joyce Gordon, issued him an ultimatum: Northern Ontario or me. He chose her: they married in September 1952.In the meantime, he joined the newsroom of the Globe and Mail, where his mentor Doyle had been working for a year.As a reporter with the Globe, Davey covered national and international affairs, including the Suez Canal crisis, the St. Lawrence Seaway project and the cancellation of the Avro Arrow program. During the 1957 federal election campaign, he recognized that Tory leader John Diefenbaker was gaining momentum and might actually win, and convinced his editors to allow him to stay with the Chief's campaign for 40 days. Clark Davey, former publisher of the Montreal Gazette, displaying a mock-up of the paper's new Sunday edition in 1988. Bill Grimshaw / The Canadian Press When Doyle became editor of the Globe in 1963, he chose Davey as his managing editor, and, according to Mills, the two raised the broadsheet's reputation from that of a local paper to a national one. Davey was managing editor for 15 years before joining the Vancouver Sun in 1978. He was publisher there until 1983, when he took over at the Gazette. He was publisher of the Citizen from 1989 to 1993. He was also president and chair of The Canadian Press, and co-founder and president of the Michener Awards Foundation that oversees the country's most prestigious journalism prize."He was the true journalist of journalists," says Kim Kierans, journalism professor at University of King's College in Halifax and Michener Foundation board member. "He told me when I last saw him in November, ‘If we're not providing the encouragement for journalism organizations and journalists within them to do the journalism that matters, then we're in trouble as a democracy.'"He was also a lovely man, smart and sparkling … with incredible enthusiasm for the business and its future."According to Mills, Davey, who in 2002 led a protest on the steps of the Ottawa Citizen after Mills was fired for running an editorial critical of then-prime minister Jean Chrétien, was known as tough and gruff, "but deep down he was a really kind and thoughtful person, and a very good friend who was always fair to people. But if you didn't know him, he could be intimidating."And although he called the shots on the job, it was Joyce who ruled the home roost. According to son Ric, his father only stopped the presses twice - once while at the Globe, when Joyce called him to report that she and Ric thought they had just seen a UFO."That was the kind of pull she had over him," says Ric.Clark Davey is survived by his wife, Joyce; brother Kenneth George; children Ric (Rita Celli), Kevin (Margaret) and Clark Jr. (...
