Anderson, Paul Chenery (Major, Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, retired) Passed away gently in the arms of his children on October 7, 2006. Born in Toronto on May 16, 1916, the eldest son of Oscar Victor Anderson and Isabella St. Clair Chenery, Paul had 90 years of life, and leaves a fine and enduring legacy of accomplishment to his family, and to Canada. The brother of the late Isabella Conway of Guelph, Frances Pearson of Vancouver, and Dr. David Anderson of Maple, he was an outstanding student, athlete, soldier, professional engineer, husband, father and grandfather. The valedictorian on graduation from Humberside Collegiate Institute, he was also a starting guard on the Humberside senior basketball team which won the Dominion of Canada Championship in 1934. He was a leading figure at the University of Toronto, where he was President of the Engineering Society of the School of Practical Science (SPS) in 1939. Graduating with an engineering degree, he worked at Ferranti, a major UK electrical and electronics equipment firm. He married the late Phyllis Irene Hannaford of Toronto at High Park United Church in early 1941, to share their love of dancing for life. The honeymoon was interrupted as he had volunteered for duty with the Canadian Army. He sailed overseas to the United Kingdom, where he eventually took part in the Normandy Invasion, serving with honour, in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and finally Germany. After Victory in Europe and in Japan were secured, he returned to Canada and, retired from the military, worked for Canada Electric, the consulting firm MacGregor-Anderson which he co-founded, and later with the Toronto Board of Education. He was married to his beloved Phyllis for 60 years, and was the devoted father of William Victor Anderson, Carole Chenery Jerome, both of Toronto, and Bruce Edward Anderson of Laguna Niguel, California. He was a wonderful father-in law to Lise Anderson and Christina Anderson, and a loving grandfather to Anne-Marie, Lindsey, Thomas, Joshua and Matthew, who all called him ‘Bubba', with affection. Paul continued his athletic career for decades and was a solid skier and tennis player, finally, but reluctantly, retiring from downhill skiing at age 76. Not giving up very easily, he joined a Superfitness club after turning 80. He was also a skilled vegetable gardener, and travelled with Phyllis in North America, Europe and Hawaii. There will be a brief visitation, a memorial service, and a reception afterwards, commencing at 2 p.m. Saturday October 14, 2006, at the Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor Street West (at Windermere, east of the Jane subway), Toronto, 416 767 3153. We will be delighted to see friends and family there, and of course flowers are most welcome as a touch of this happy celebration of a good life, well-lived. Now he has left for the unknown territory ahead of us all. He had a good and strong spirit, a high and thoughtful intelligence, and a loyal and faithful heart. They gave him light in his ways, And love, and a space for delight; And beauty, and length of days, And night, and sleep in the night. We will miss him, and we now wish him dancing in the stars. Turner & Porter
