GERRY BOOKHOUT 1930 - 2007 At Sunnyside Home, in Kitchener, on Wednesday,
August 29, 2007 in his 78th year. Loving husband of Joan Lange; beloved father of Wendy
Bookhout, Karen Bookhout, Mark Bookhout (Linda), Michelle Oates (Glenn) and TerryLynn Martin (Arnold); survived by his grandchildren, Louisa, Jessica, Laurie, Brian and
David; cherished brother of Beverly Creel (Jim). Lovingly remembered by his stepchildren,
Rod, David and Dean Smith. Predeceased by his first wife Suzanne; his parents, Alden and
Patricia Bookhout. Gerry Bookhout landed a job at The Record in May 1955 after
impressing editors with photos he shot of two major fires - one at a King Street restaurant,
the other at the Granite Club. His interest in photography, however, began when he was a
boy. At age 12, Bookhout built himself a darkroom by following the instructions in a Kodak
manual. By the time he retired at age 61 in 1992, Bookhout had taken hundreds of extraordinary pictures using a wide range of
equipment - some of it bulky and cumbersome, some of it sleek and efficient. His subjects included Queen Elizabeth II, one
Pope and a few prime ministers. After careful planning and a lot of patience waiting for just the right sky, Bookhout
photographed two Old Order Mennonite girls playing on a swing. His attention to detail paid off: The picture won the 1985
National Newspaper Award for feature photography. He retired in 1992. Friends are invited to share their memories of Gerry
with his family during memorial visitation at the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home, 171 King St. S., Waterloo, on
Thursday, Sept. 6, 2007 from 7-9 p.m. The memorial service to celebrate his life and faith will be held on Friday, Sept. 7, 2007

Westbank B.C. and Edith McArthur (David) of Moorefield and his great-nieces and nephew, Barbara McArthur Potts (Jayson),
Stephanie McArthur, Andre Johnson and Claire Roberts as well as many friends and neighbours. Raymond was born and raised
on the family farm (lot 7, concession 7 of Maryborough Township) which had been homesteaded by his great-grand parents,
Peter and Isabella Robb. He was the only son of Stanley Alexander Robb and Rosa Jane Wooddisse. He took great pride in the
farm where he and Ileen lived and worked. Raymond was especially attached to "Minnie" his Minneapolis Moline tractor that
he purchased in 1950 and used until he left the farm. In 2000 Ileen and Raymond retired to Moorefield. Although the farmland
was rented, Raymond continued to visit and to grow a garden there until the farm was sold in 2006. Ill health, recently, caused
him and Ileen to move to Royal Terrace, Palmerston. Raymond was a member of the Moorefield United Church and a founding
and lifetime member of the Moorefield Optimists Club. He will be remembered as a hard worker who could always be counted
on to lend a hand when the need arose. As a younger man, Raymond enjoyed hunting and fishing, usually with his pipe in his
mouth. Raymond found pleasure in simple things like playing a game of cards or horseshoes, watching a game of ball at the
park, or visiting with family and friends. We are saddened by our loss but are thankful for the pleasure his life brought to the
people around him. The family will receive friends at the Heritage Funeral Home , Palmerston on Wednesday, September 5,

HANK (HENRY) KURT SANDLOS, P.ENG. February 13, 1930-September 1, 2007
Hank passed quietly at Collingwood General and Marine Hospital as the evening sun
glowed warmly through the window of his room. He was the beloved husband of Betty-Lou;
deeply committed father of Lisa (Dave), Karyn (Jude) and John (Yolanda); proud granddad
of Maya, William and Zachary. After graduating from Galt Collegiate, Hank pursued a
degree in electrical engineering from Queen's University. He played centre on the Golden
Gaels football team where he earned the nickname, "Man Mountain". Beginning his career

The Record Newspaper - Kitchener - Obituaries September 2007
at Canadian General Electric, he then moved to S&C Electric, where he worked until his retirement, always believing in the
integrity of the company to which he dedicated so many years. He met Betty-Lou in 1964, and would wait attentively for her to
return from Hawaii so they could be married a year later. Hank's letters to BL during their courtship speak volumes about his
deep love for her and their much anticipated life together. In the early years living in Vancouver, he skied the mountains of Mt.
Baker Rim, built a cabin in the woods and spent many happy times there with his young family. After returning to Ontario, his
love of skiing found a home at Alpine Ski Club in Collingwood where he served on the board of directors, and later retired
with BL to schush down the slopes not far from his backyard. A voracious reader and stubborn debater of history and politics,
Hank kept his mind active right up until the last days. This quiet and unassuming man passed his great passion for reading and
inquiry on to his children and grandchildren. Family and friends mourn the loss of a principled, kind and courageous person.
We are all grateful for the compassionate care Hank received from the nursing staff in the I.C.U. Thank you Hank, for
everything. The man has gone back to the mountain. Memorial donations can be made to: the David Buller Memorial
Scholarship Fund c/o University of Toronto 100 St. George St. Toronto, ON M5S 3G3 or the charity of your choice. Friends

Canadian relatives and friends). After the death of her husband in 1973 she continued to live
in the family home. Margaret was famous for her lemon squares (made from backyard lemons) served to guests who frequently

friends who have fond memories of her caring and loving nature. She was an avid golfer and bridge player and was a member
of the Winter Park Hospital Auxiliary, and the Red Pepper Garden Club. Robert and Karen wish to thank her former
neighbours, the Tucker, Strong, Schenck, and Prouse families of Winter Park, Florida for their devoted friendship and
caretaking during the many years she lived in Florida. When Margaret's health deteriorated, her friends were always available
to support her. Margaret also had the good fortune to spend her golden years in the assisted living unit at Winter Park Towers
in Florida and since 2005, the Sunshine Centre in Waterloo. Her family deeply appreciates the care and friendship given by
staff and volunteers. A special thanks to the doctors and nursing staff at Grand River Hospital - Five North Wing for doing
