Obituary: William C. Holtz

'A gifted woodcarver, a keen reader and an engaging storyteller, Dad turned every situation into an opportunity to learn and to teach. When failing eyesight restricted his life, taking away his ability to carve, to read, to write, even to live on his own, it only made him more determined to face the adversities and find solutions.'

Obituary: Dorothy E. Chunn

'Dorothy was a prolific socio-legal scholar, a dedicated feminist, an inspiring teacher, a poised public speaker, a devoted daughter and sister, a steadfast friend and colleague, an adventurous world traveller, a lover of literature and film, and a joyful, tender, and tolerant life partner. Dorothy's exceptional intellect was leavened by her abiding modesty, grace, humanity, and sense of fun.'
