Gerry passed away suddenly while walking with his wife Joyce on the Seawalk in Powell River. How fitting that he was in a location he loved, enjoying the antics of otters at the ocean’s edge.” Colleague William Barclay commented: “Gerry practised as the sole pediatrician in Powell River for 27 years, until his retirement in 1997. Intelligent, dedicated and compassionate, Gerry was available 24/7 and at a moment’s notice for GPs struggling with sick children in the ER, ward or nursery.

Waterloo, Ont.; University of Western Ontario, 1979; general surgery. Died Oct. 17, 2019, aged 64. Survived by his wife Ellen, 2 children and a grandchild. “Ron was a lifelong lover of learning, and he graduated from medical school in 1979, having been granted admission after completing only 2 years of undergraduate studies. He went on to specialize in hepatobiliary surgery and to create a thriving general surgery practice in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ont., for 25 years. To say that Ron had a passion for his surgical practice is an understatement. He relentlessly dedicated his time to compassionately caring for and serving his many patients. Ron always preached, ‘you have to love what you do,’ and the fellow doctors and nurses that surrounded and supported him every day made that an easy mantra to follow.”

He finished up at McGill and the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montréal, where he found time to attend Expo 67. He practised in Waterloo from 1968 to 2004. His pride and enthusiasm for the practice of medicine and all aspects of living broadened the scope of his involvement with his patients in an otherwise narrow specialty. It is finally safe to say where all of the cotton scrubs disappeared to from the local hospitals!”

He served in numerous capacities supporting family medicine, including everything from maternity through eldercare, from exam writer to committee organizer to president of the CFPC. He did all his work without boast or complaint.” The Department of Family Practice at UBC commented: “Dr Bailey was a humble, down-to-earth family physician leader whose influence was felt far and wide in the college and among family physicians in Canada. Many may not know of his important work because he did this work to support physicians, the discipline and patients, and never sought attention or credit for all this transformative work he accomplished.”

His first choice was neurology but, as folklore tells us, he was not accepted at McGill because he was unshaven for his interview! He returned to his alma mater, and in 1968 received his fellowship in internal medicine. The family then travelled down the highway to Brandon, where Dad started his practice at the Brandon Clinic, where he worked until his retirement in 1999.”

He was admired and highly respected by colleagues and staff, and was later placed in charge of the clinical care program for children who had cystic fibrosis.

He went on to complete his bachelor of science degree, earn his medical degree and then became a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, all the while dealing with his disease. David had an inner strength and a resiliency that was an example and inspiration to those around him. Even when things were at a very low point he still kept his sense of humour and his concern for others.”

He paid his way through medical school by working in an axe gang for a logging company, and for 1 summer as a medical officer for the Department of Indian Affairs, travelling by canoe to Indian settlements in northern Manitoba along with a Mountie in order to make treaty payments and provide basic medical service. [During the war] he performed surgery in field dressing stations and base hospitals for the army. He met Rhonda while they were together in medical school, and they married before Lorne went overseas. After his return they moved to Pincher Creek, Alta., in 1946, where Lorne started a general medical and surgical practice. The practice grew substantially over the years, as Lorne quickly developed a regional reputation as a surgeon. In 1949, the local hospital built a 50-bed addition to deal with the growth. Several doctors joined Lorne’s practice over the years, and Rhonda joined him in practice once their youngest child had entered primary school. Lorne was instrumental in starting a rural country practice rotation for medical students, in conjunction with the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary. He practised medicine until age 61, when he and Rhonda both retired. Lorne then joined with a good friend and worked as a realtor for several years.”

For a period, he simultaneously served the Skeena Health Unit, which covered the area from the Queen Charlotte Islands in the west to halfway to Prince George, and from the Yukon border to south of Kitimat. His career included moments of notoriety, including his decision to order the shutdown of a sawmill on Vancouver Island for polluting a river, closing Wreck Beach due to a lack of sanitary facilities, and prohibiting a bar from serving drinks with a frost-bitten toe in them. That last episode prompted a newspaper to run the headline, ‘Dr. Bill Says Toe Must Go.’ In later years Bill worked as an adviser on clinical trials, including those for the chicken pox vaccine. He was also passionate about affordable housing, and spent many years as a director at the Affordable Housing Societies, based in New Westminster, BC.”
