Forrest Harley "Bud" Frappier passed away on March 12, 2023. He was predeceased by his wife, Daye (Brunton); his parents, Tena (Sharp) and Frank Frappier; and siblings, Sybil (MacDonald), Curtis, Eileen (Borthwick), and Nadine (Trewin).  

Forrest Harley "Bud" Frappier attended Glebe Collegiate, graduated from Lisgar Collegiate, started at Queen’s, served in the Navy, then returned to Queen’s and graduated in 1946. His four-decade working career was with E.B. Eddy in increasingly responsible engineering positions. 

Recreational pursuits included: racing and rallying with the Motorsports Club of Ottawa in the 50s; boating at the family cottage on McGregor Lake in the 60s; cross-country skiing in the Gatineaus; and large boat sailing in Kingston in the 70s. He had a talent for fabricating — a race car, boats, and trailers, among others. He loved exercising his skill at going faster, but in precise control of a moving vehicle. 

Following his retirement in 1984, he and Daye moved closer to their boat in Kingston. After her death in 1993, he reconnected with another youthful passion — motorcycles. This led to regular summer treks to Nova Scotia and fall excursions to B.C., California, and Utah visiting relatives. When he took off his helmet, people were amazed, as they expected someone much younger! He biked into his 90s, then moved into a retirement residence in Ottawa in 2013.

He had a special affinity for cats and they for him. He cherished the companionship of various ones over many decades. 

He renewed his driver's license at age 98. He was mobile and remarkably healthy and with it to the end. He achieved his goal of reaching 100. He died peacefully after a life well-lived. He was

quietly independent, and a great storyteller with a keen sense of humour. He looked forward to adventures. He was a wonderful colleague, neighbour, and friend. He was beloved by his and Daye’s families. 

Norman F. Cohrs passed away in Kingston on March 16, 2023. He was predeceased by his Ella, and older "Queen's" siblings, Raymond, Edna, and Charles.

He was born in Sudbury and raised in Chapleau. Like his siblings before him, he attended Queen’s. 

He was a math teacher of note in Ottawa for 35 years in a profession he loved. He was predeceased by his beloved Maxine in 2018; parents, Carl and Ella; and older siblings, Raymond, Edna, Charles. He is survived by four children, Douglas, Stephen (Joan), Peter (Wilma) and Katrina; grandchildren, Paul, Heather, Andrew, Harrison, Elliot, Logan and Spencer; their spouses and great grandchildren, Ayden, Paige, Thea, Hudson and Parker (2022). He is survived, too, by his lively in-laws, Jacqui and Murray; nieces, Beverly, Nancy and Tara. 

Born in 1930 in Sudbury, raised in Chapleau, he attended Queen's, graduating in 1957. He was a fine math teacher in Ottawa for 35 years, a profession he loved. He and his wife built a family with four energetic kids. They also built the beautiful ketch "Almitra" and sailed in Ottawa, then Kingston. Time on Almitra was his passion and elixir; the compliments he received about Almitra's classic good looks never ended.

He had an inquiring mind and considerable vision. He was a bit cynical and contrarian too. He also had a legendary dry sense of humour. He had a lifelong interest in steam trains; he was a bridge player, a chatty raconteur, depression-boy frugal, who loved a bargain; and a man of conviction and contradiction, delightfully so. 

He liked his knives sharp, his coffee hot, his politics left, his classical music loud, and the CBC always. He was a messy manager. He was very good with his hands; he could build almost anything with the most basic tools and he could solve (and create) almost any problem.

Over the last few years, his physical capabilities declined, but he still had his sharp mind. He kept doggedly shuffling along, and enjoyed drives along the Adolphus Reach, reminiscing about the good old sailing days.

Terry Carscadden died peacefully in the arms of his family in Sudbury on Feb. 14, 2023. 

Beloved husband of Sylvia Grace (Black). They were married in Applewood United Church in August 1959. He was the loving father of Susan Carscadden-Mifsud (Paul Mifsud), Barbara Maki (Bill), Ron Carscadden (Natalie), Janine Carscadden (Eva Ekeroth); inspiring grandpa to Kenny Maki (Emily Duhaime), Scott Maki (Cassandra Rees), Heidi Maki (Max Ryan), Sophie, Callum and Roman Carscadden; brother of Alan Carscadden and the late Robert Carscadden; brother-in-law to the late Betty (Agnew) Carscadden, late Norma (Lamon) Carscadden, late Peter and Susan Black, and Catherine Black.

He was a doctor, a teacher, a joyous skier, and an avid golfer. He was kind, and witty, and he gave himself generously to his family and the patients for whom he cared. He had a curiosity that made him well-versed in all things mechanical, the human body, phone technology, YouTube clips, and violins and violin makers, to mention a few of his many interests.

Terry was the son of the late Mabel (Ewing) and late Melville Carscadden of Sault Ste Marie, Ont. He attended Alex Muir Public School and graduated from Sault Collegiate. He went to Queen’s to study mechanical engineering, but his career path meandered and he graduated with a medical degree from Queen’s. After interning at Toronto Western Hospital, Terry and Sylvia and their young family moved to Lively, Ont., where he joined the Lively Medical Centre with Drs. Jack Marlow and Peter Bayly. He was a respected family physician, who retired from his family practice in 2005, continuing to work in clinics until 2014. He described those 45 years as a “wonderful career.”

Sports gave Terry’s life shape and focus. His first love was skiing, then he switched to driving fast; later he took up golf with a vengeance. He loved hockey and played with the Sudbury Hardocs. Finally, he bought the first Laser sailboat in the Sudbury area and learned to sail. He believed that he could learn anything by reading books and taking lessons from the “experts.”  Consequently, he nurtured a relationship and golfed with Sam Snead in 1992, and skied with Nancy Greene and Ernie McCullough.

He was a violinist and played in the Sault Symphonette, the Kingston and Sudbury Symphony Orchestras and the Jubilee Folk Group. He sang in church choirs all his life, and he and Sylvia were regulars at the Festival of the Sound in Parry Sound. He was the best roadie for Kampana Bells, Sylvia’s handbell choir.

He taught his children and grandchildren to golf and ski. In the summer, they shared rounds of golf and endless miles of water skiing and boating at the “camp” on Long Lake, a favourite spot for friends and family. On his 80th birthday, Terry led a long line, in formation, of those he had taught to ski, down a run at Searchmont.

His short teaching career at Alex Muir school in Sault Ste Marie left an indelible mark on his students, whom he encouraged to move ahead in an enrichment program that marked their lives with great opportunity and success. He was described as lively, dynamic, and supportive of his students.

Anton (Chip) Chiperzak of Tweed, Ont., passed away peacefully on March 9, 2023. He was 98.

He is survived by his sons, Robert Jy Chiperzak (Arts’71) and Doug Chiperzak; his brother, Edwin Chiperzak, and sister Virginia Chiperzak; as well as three grandchildren, Gavin, Megan and Kasia; and three great grandchildren, Abigail, Carson and Mykayla. He is also survived by his god-daughter, Dorothy Ann Barrett. He is predeceased by his parents, Frank and Agnes; stepmother, Francis; his wife of over 60 years, Margaret (Peggy); and his brothers, Stanley and Victor.

Chip was born in Chipman, Alta., on July 3, 1924, and grew-up on the family farm there. After high school, he attended Queen’s, receiving a Bachelor of English and Applied Science, with a concentration in engineering. For much of the remainder of his life, he was an active member of the Queen’s alumni.

After university, he was based out of Montreal until the late 1960s, before taking a position with the federal government in Industry, Trade and Commerce in Ottawa. During that time, he participated in numerous trade missions, which allowed him the opportunity to travel around the world. He loved playing golf and curling, but most of all figuring out how things work (the engineer in him). After retirement, he researched the family history and published a family record, which he distributed throughout the family.

Margaret Phillis Smith (nee Archibald) died peacefully in her 103rd year on March 3, 2023 in Belleville. 

She was a lifelong member of the United Church of Canada and a long-time member of Eastminster United Church. She worked tirelessly on countless committees.

Phillis was a proud graduate from Queen’s. She worked for the inspection board of the U.K. in Canada in 1942-43 inspecting anti-aircraft guns for the army. She was the first woman elected to the Hatley Township Council in the Eastern Townships of Quebec in 1970. She was a member of the Canadian Federation of University Women in Belleville. 

Flower gardening, playing bridge and reading were lifelong pleasures. Her smile, ready laugh, energy, and love will be greatly missed by her two daughters, her son, and grand-children.
