"What Makes A Dad"
God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth
of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom
of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience
of eternity, The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it ... Dad

at the Health Sciences Centre surrounded by his friends, his father
Blas and his partner Sean Freake, on Tuesday, December 6, 2011.

Juan, born in Moron, Cuba, on July 3, 1966, came to Newfoundland two
decades ago as a refugee. In his early twenties, Juan left Cuba to
study engineering in Russia. After receiving his degree, he immigrated
to Canada, leaving a flight as it was refueling in Gander. Juan, with
the sheer strength of his vibrant personality and work ethic, built
a 20 year career at The Head Room salon and spa in St. John's. Starting
as an assistant, he worked his way up to become a stylist, and on to
great success in national and international competitions, finally reaching
the level of an International Platform Artist with Goldwell, where
he worked internationally as a trainer. Juan has continued to support
his family in Cuba since coming to Canada. A service has yet to be
scheduled: flowers will be gratefully accepted, along with donations
to Friends4Juan, a fundraising effort to defray costs of his illness.
Blessed with a huge circle of devoted friends, Juan will be greatly
missed. Juan will be forever loved and missed by Trish and his friends

POWER, Patrick - Proud Newfoundlander,
Canadian Armed Forces, Indian Affairs, Secretary of State, 1930-2011.
Born at St. Kyran's in the province of Newfoundland. Life lived in Freshwater,
Montreal, Ottawa, Paris and Rome. Predeceased by his father John and
mother Mary (nee Lynch), and brothers: Anthony, Randall and Clarence.
Left with fond memories are his daughters: Evelyne (Brad) and Natasha
(Alexandre); grandchildren: Ryan, Dylan, Liam, Margaux and Alexia; brother
John; sisters: Cecily Newberry (Chuck), Phyllis Goodison (Bill, deceased),
and Mary Jaramillo; lifelong friend Raymonde Cayer and a large circle
other relatives and friends. Patrick's life will be remembered through
the hundreds of stories and adventures he shared with us. His beloved
mother Mary (Molly) fled the tsunami of 1929 instilling a sense of adventure
in her unborn son. Pat began his journey in St. Kyran's, Newfoundland
and followed the progress of his province when relocation from the outports
saw his family move to Argentia. As a young boy, he did errands on a
bicycle for the American forces based in Argentia during WWII. He enlisted
in the Canadian Army as a very young man (1948), and with his Irish luck
and charm was soon mastering the first of many foreign languages and
joining the glitterati in Italy. Subsequent travels took him to the Canadian
Embassy in Paris where his passion for all things European continued
(except for the cheese). He left the military as Sgt. Power in 1972,
and became the first person with only a Grade 6 completion certificate
to graduate from Carleton University - St. Patrick's College with Bachelor's
Degree. He graduated in 2 1⁄2 years while working full time. He went
on to a career in the public service; with Indian Affairs and the Secretary
of State. He worked primarily on Aboriginal issues - a lifelong passion,
and later served as the Director of Citizenship Programs in Newfoundland
and finally as an advisor to the Native Council of Canada. He retired
from the Federal Public Service in 1985. When the Berlin Wall fell, he
decided to support the development of democracy by teaching at the University
of Bratislava. In later years, his health limited extensive travel but
he delighted in hearing the exploits of his nephew Carl - a US Air Force
Officer and his niece Colleen - a well-known Newfoundland musician. He
adored his step-daughter Marina and took great pride in the outstanding
accomplishments of his beloved daughters and grandchildren. He delighted
in his large, international family and in the polite company of many
a special cat. Pat leaves us with a diverse array of memories. He would
wish everyone to seize the opportunity to learn, to love and to play.
Our sincerest gratitude to all who made his life interesting. Friends
and family are invited to the Beechwood National Memorial Centre, 280
Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, Thursday, December 29, 2011 after 12 noon,
a Memorial service will be held in the Sacred Space at 1 p.m. followed
by a reception. In keeping with Pat's love of animals, donations can
be made in his memory to the Ottawa Humane Society.
