ALLARDYCE _ Henrietta September 28, 1907 - January 9, 2004 "Henri", as she was know to
her many friends, died peacefully at the Windermere Care Centre in Vancouver. She was a
devoted mother and strong supporter of her husband, Professor John Allardyce, who
pre-deceased her by 40 years. After his death, she lived bravely, independently and
without complaint. Henrietta was the second of four children born to Captain Duncan
Mackenzie and Lizzie Houston Mackenzie. She grew up in Point Grey and graduated from UBC
in 1927 (BA); Henri was a loyal member/alumnus of Alpha Phi. She married John Allardyce
in 1932, and there were two children, Barbara Lynn and Duncan Bruce. She was a loving
and supportive mother; she and John instilled in their children an appreciation for
life's small pleasures, fairness and respect for others. In addition to her role as a
mother, she was an active community and charity worker, a volunteer Sunday school
teacher, and regional supervisor of the "Community Chest". She became president of the
Faculty Women's Club. After John's death, she valued and never lost her contacts to the
University, attending Faculty Women's Club meetings and joining in "Great Trek"
reunions. She was unfortunately pre-deceased by her daughter Barbara Lynn Wallace in
early 2003. She is survived by her son Dr. Bruce Allardyce, five grandchildren, Michael
Wallace, Blair, Matthew, and Patrick Allardyce, and Pamela Adams. There are seven
great-grandchildren, Elizabeth, Katherine, Isabelle, Emily, Alexandra, Connor and Quinn.
The family is grateful to the staff of the Windermere Care Centre, who were caring and

BOHME _ Edward August, born May 20th, 1912 in London, England, passed away unexpectedly
yet very peacefully at his home in West Vancouver on December 31, 2003, at the age of
91. Ed will be lovingly remembered by his dear wife, Jean, by his son Lawrence Bohme and
his daughters Lynn Simms and Sue Rennie (Dan). Also by Norman (Gail) and Richard Vipond;

Ed will also be missed by his friend of many years Don McIver (Pauline). Predeceased by
his sister Irene Faimberg, his brother Harold Bohme, his nephew Roger Schiffer, and
Elizabeth Vipond Bohme. Born in London, England, Ed was uprooted to Berlin with his
mother and siblings in 1918. At the age of 16, he set off to walk across Europe and into
North Africa. He returned to Germany at 18, and lived through the Nazi rise to power.
His British passport made it possible for him to escape Nazi Germany in the late 1930's.
In London, a chance encounter led to employment, and then work with the British war
effort, as translator and interpreter of German manufacturing plans. Ed's life turned on
unlikely meetings, chances offered, risks taken. In 1946, he landed in Vancouver with
his young family and a single suitcase, the first post-war immigrants to arrive by air.
He went on to found Vancouver Fire Prevention Service Co. Ltd. in 1948 and grew this
business over the next 35 years. Throughout his life, Ed was energized by new projects
and inventions and a wide variety of interests. He held many patents, including one for
an early prototype computer and computer-assisted education. A remarkable story teller.
Naturally generous. Ed thought of himself as a loner, yet he was an extraordinarily warm
and engaging man who always attracted people to him. We will treasure his memory. A
memorial service to celebrate Ed's life will be held on Tuesday, January 20th, 1- 3 pm,
at the West Vancouver Yacht Club.

GAUBE _ Michael Lloyd passed away on the afternoon of January 14, 2004 in the presence
of his life partner Rhonda at Crossroads Hospice. Michael also leaves behind the
children he was so proud of, Christopher and Stephanie; his mother Hannah; his brother
Roger (Joan); his many nieces, nephews and in-laws. His father Jim predeceases Michael.
Mike was a heavy-duty mechanic for thirty years. Unlike many stories you hear about
mechanics letting their own vehicles fall apart, many a weekend meal waited a bit while
he finished one more thing. Mike could also be relied on to help anyone else who asked
for mechanical assistance. Mike was also an active volunteer with the Boy Scouts of
Canada. His tarping expertise was legendary. He had many stories about the thrill of
camping, biking through Kettle Valley and hiking to Cape Scott with "the Boys". When the
EPCOM (Emergency Prepared Communications) Organization evolved after Port Coquitlam lost
telephone service after an earthquake, Mike along with both his children became avid
participates and licensed ham radio operators. This gave him an opportunity to expand
the time he spent with two of the people he loved so much. He was thrilled when as an
EBCOM member he was able to make a contribution during the Kelowna fires. His family and
many friends will sadly miss Mike. A Memorial Service will be held at Burkeview Family
Funeral Care, 1340 Dominion Ave in Port Coquitlam at 11AM on Tuesday January 19th. In
lieu of flowers, donations to the Crossroads Hospice Society, Port Moody in his memory
would be appreciated.

Arnie Guenther

GUTTMANN-GEE _ Barbara (nee Reynolds) was born June 28, 1914 in Birmingham, England on
the same day as "a shot from Sarajevo was heard reverberating around the world". She
passed away December 30, 2003. Barbara is survived by cousin Margaret Robson of East
Sussex, England. She was the only child of older parents, and much indulged by them. She
was allowed to develop her imagination and intellect, along with her social graces. Her
formative years were spent in a loving extended family where aunts, uncles and cousins
provided the rich stories that were woven into the tapestry of Barbara's life. She was
exposed to philosophy, art, music, good food and travels abroad, along with the promise
of a higher education at Oxford University. She spent her early childhood years in an
all-girls school where she loved geography, history and literature. Her passion for
learning was cut short by the onset of the "Great Depression". Her merchant family lost
most of their material wealth and Barbara who had just written her entrance exams to the
university re-routed her skills training to a more practical secretarial college. She
became adept at Pitman's Shorthand and quickly found work at the Birmingham Water
Utilities Company where she worked for a number of years to support her widowed mother.
Her youthful exuberance and her colleagues took her to travel to continental Europe,
flights of fancy from the drudgery of day-to-day clerical work. She collected many
memories along with the photographs. During the Second World War, while Britain was
strafed by bombs, Barbara's mother opened their home to "paying guests". That's when
Barbara was smitten by the one love her life - Herbert Guttmann-Gee. He had been held as
a prisoner-of-war on the Isle of Wight. On his release, fate steered him to the
Reynolds. As friendship bloomed into a torrid love affair, Barbara and Herbert married
on May 24, 1946. They emigrated to Canada. Once in Toronto, Ontario, they began to live
a Bohemian existence of traveling and working their way across Canada. Herbert was an
artist who enjoyed the freedom of Canada's wide-open vistas. He sketched and
watercoloured many scenes of their travels still hanging in her apartment. Barbara and
he enjoyed photography and documented their camping adventures. From the shores of the
Great Lakes, around the winding roads of the magnificent Canadian Shield in autumn,
Barbara and Herbert made their way across the prairies of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. With winter ahead of them, the pair of adventurers were looking for a more
permanent roof over their heads than a canvas tent. They managed to find a winter home
and work as cooks on the Douglas Lake Ranch. Barbara was in her glory in the kitchen,
filled with mountains of provisions and real butter for the ranch hands. She made the
best pastries in her day. Once spring melted the snow, the beckoning road drew Barbara
and Herbert to Vancouver. There they found lodgings in the West End, close to Robson
Street and all the European shops that used to dot the neighborhood. Barbara was 40
years old that summer and finding a job proved to be a challenge to her ingenuity.
Herbert, at 54 was already considered of retirement age. Barbara's tenacity and
desperation pounding the pavement and knocking on doors paid off. She landed a job as
temporary clerical help. She discovered that her Pitman's shorthand opened the door to
her next career - a Court Reporter in Burnaby. Her quick mind, her integrity and her
conscientious work ethic ensured her the friendship of colleagues and monetary success.
Herbert's financial restraint and shrewd investment habits brought them both rewards.
They bought property in Surrey and settled down as well as two energetic, creative
individuals could. They built their dream home and some life-long friendships with
Carrie and Scott Ross and the Wood family, Angelique and Marianne. Barbara worked as
Court Reporter and supported her husband until she retired at 66. While tending to her
ailing husband, Barbara decided to enroll in the Open Learning University to fulfill her
life long yearning for a university education and a degree. To begin her first year of
formal studies was a challenge for her as she often burned the midnight oil, and
occasionally a dinner while she was reading texts about European history that she'd
lived through. After Herbert's death, Barbara bought her home on the Quay and continued
to work her way through the courses needed to finish her Bachelor's Degree ten years
after she began. She loved the correspondence courses offered through Open Learning. She
enjoyed the high-tech computers with the cut and paste functions. While working to
complete the requirements for her B.A., Barbara was encouraged by a number of mentors at
S.F.U. who took her under wing and guided her to complete a Master's Thesis on Women's
Studies, Easing the Pang Something Missed or Lost. Among her many achievements, Barbara
loved the challenge of mental fitness and positive thinking provided through the
programs held at the Century House in New Westminster. Her enthusiasm for
learning-getting old and staying smart - is revealed in a television program "Grandma
Goes to College". She loved the excitement of being interviewed for newspaper articles
and radio. She felt she had much to share, and she did. Her philanthropic endowments to
Century House, S.F.U., O.L.A. and various charities have made a difference in the lives
of many people. Barbara loved people, and parties. She loved to be wined and dined. She
always reciprocated. You could take her anywhere - and we all did. From early childhood,
Barbara was indoctrinated with social graces and a love of learning. She was able to
fulfill her destiny. She had a big heart and she gave her life all she could. A Memorial
Tribute Tea in her honour will be held on Saturday, January 24 in the Penthouse Suite,
1045 Quayside Drive, New Westminster, B.C., from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers,
we think Barbara would appreciate donations to the local Food Bank. The Ross Family and
the Wood/Minato Family.
