STEVENSON _ Raymond Leslie "Ray", December 17, 1919, to August 24, 2004, after a lengthy

years Lil Greene, with whom he shared a creative life of mutual love, respect and
dignity; son Gordon Michael (Judy); daughters Sharon (deceased) and Zoya Leah Claire
from his marriage to Beatrice Walsh (deceased); step-daughters Toma (Mulliroe) Fraser,
Karen (Gordon) Flowers and Louise Greene (Gay Bell); grandchildren, Carrie Fraser,
Jennifer (Stephen) Johns, Kimberley and Michelle Flowers; and four great-grandchildren.
He was the fourth son of George W. and Dolena Stevenson (both deceased). He is survived
by brother David (Doreen) Stevenson and sister Ruth Proknow. A product of the 1930's
drought crisis conditions which affected the prairies, he worked as a miner in Manitoba,
Ontario and Quebec. He was active in the International Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers'
Union and took part in the seminal union recognition strike (1941 - 1942) in Kirkland
Lake, and later in union organization work and political activity. He joined the
Canadian Army in 1942 and was honourably discharged in 1946 with the rank of Captain.
Upon discharge he was appointed Educational Director for the Worker's Co-op of Northern
Ontario, then Regional Organizer for the Labour Progressive Party. In the 1950's, he was
Co-ordinator for the Contract Miners' Negotiations in Sudbury and elected to the
Executive Board of Local 598 of Mine Mill. Ray also served as grievance chairman and
assistant editor of the Local's "598 News". In 1955 he joined the union's national
executive as eastern board member. In the 1960's, he was editor of the union's "Mine
Mill Herald" and national educational director. Following the 1967 merger of the
International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers to the United Steelworkers of
America, he edited "Information Magazine" for the union until 1972 when he was appointed
Acting Public Relations Director. Ray was posted to Helsinki, Finland, as Canadian
Secretary for the World Peace Council in 1978. He was Vice President of the Canadian
Peace Congress until the mid 1980's. A long standing student/adherent of Marxist and
Leninist writings and a powerful supporter of the Soviet Union, he was at various times
elected to leading committees of the Communist Party of Canada. He terminated his
membership in 1998. In 1992, he became a pioneer founding editor of Northstar Compass, a
journal of "Friendship, Solidarity and Peace With the Soviet People". He remained
Associate Editor until his death. Ray devoted his entire working life to extensive
activity in the fields of organization, trade unionism and the Peace movement. He was
the author of hundreds of news items, magazine articles, briefs before governmental
bodies, and statements on behalf of the working people with whom he kept total
identification. On occasion he would say, half humorously... "I never wrote or spoke a
single word or syllable on behalf of the capitalist class, or its minions... I spoke and
lived only as a member of the working class". In his final years, he engaged in
researching and writing a manuscript titled "Globalization and Armageddon in the
Workplace" subtitled "A Worker's Memoir and Survey of 20th Century". Failing health and
advancing age prevented it's completion although the major part of it is now in the York
University Archives as the "Ray Stevenson Fonds", Inventory #167. Private Service and
Cremation will take place. His ashes will be scattered in his native Manitoba at the
site of his first school. Donations to Northstar Compass, 280 Queen Street West,
Toronto, M5V 2A1, or to a charity of your choice would be appreciated by family.

Stephen's Anglican Church. Mary was the heart of the Taylor family. She was a beloved
mother, and embraced all her grandchildren and their children with loving arms. Many
lives have been blessed by her gentle compassion, her cheerful smile and a laugh that
touched your soul with great warmth and affection. The family sends a special thank you
to Dr. Bradford and the staff at Fellburn Hospital for their care and support. A

TAYLOR _ Phyllis August 22, 1912 - August 9, 2004. It is with great joy we remember the
life of aunt, pianist, musician and friend, Phyllis Taylor. Phyllis is survived by her
nieces, Barbara of Lake Chelan, Washington and Betty of Westbank, B.C. as well as her
nephews, Leonard of Westbank, B.C. and Wayne of Canmore, Alberta. Phyllis was born
Keyingham, York, England and immigrated to Kelowna very early in life. At the age of
six, Phyllis began studying her life's passion, the piano. She excelled at various
competitions throughout British Columbia. Critics expressed amazement at the abilities
of the young female prodigy. Phyllis continued to develop as a first class pianist and
played with several orchestras throughout North America and Great Britain at a time that
the concert stage was dominated by male performers. Phyllis was well on her way when
tragedy struck; her husband, Brenton passed away suddenly. Phyllis had to put her dreams
aside and concentrate on developing a teaching practice as well as working as the
musical director and organist at many churches over the years in order to survive.
Phyllis took to teaching just as she had as a concert pianist. For many years and well
into her late eighties, Phyllis taught many children from Richmond. Phyllis Taylor is
fondly remembered by her many students some of whom have gone on to concert or teaching
careers themselves. Phyllis Taylor was a lifetime member of the Richmond Music Teachers
Association. Phyllis's final years were made more difficult by her poor health but she
continued to have a quest for knowledge as she read books about the human and political
conditions of our times and was always excited to discuss these topics with her
visitors. Phyllis Taylor worried about the future and looked to the youth to speak out
against wrongs of society and to play an active role in change. To this end, Phyllis
Taylor has created a scholarship fund for students entering post secondary education.
With the passing of Phyllis Taylor, it is important to acknowledge the vital role that
she played in developing the minds and musical souls of Richmond's youth over the years.
There can be no greater purpose in life. Phyllis Taylor shall be missed.
