In memory of Ted Gordon

(OCI History & Principal, 1958-70, 1972-76)

 

It is with profound sadness that we learned of the passing of Ted Gordon on February 27, 2011.  Mr Gordon was a beloved OCI History Teacher, Coach and Principal, who taught and inspired many Oakwoodites.  We were very grateful and honoured to have him lead the Sunday War Memorial Rededication Service at the OCI 100th Anniversary in May 2008.  The Obituary is available at this link.

 

*****

In memory of Vincent Del Buono (OCI 1967)

 

It is with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Vincent Del Buono on

April 13, 2010.  He was known internationally as a legal scholar and practitioner in

criminal justice and human rights reform.  Vince was Caput President (1966-1967) and with his brother, Robert Del Buono, sponsored the OCI Del Buono Award for General Proficiency, in honour of their brother, John Del Buono (OCI 1964-1967).  The OCAA extends its deepest condolences to Jennifer Pothier, wife of Vincent, and to the Del Buono family for their loss.  Read about Vince’s remarkable life:
