    Notes:

    Paul Gishler, FCIC, one of Canada's leading industrial scientists, passed away in Edmonton, in 1992. He was born in 1904 in Golden Lake, ON. He received his early education in Ontario,then entered the Calgary normal school. Following graduation in 1923, he taught school in rural Alberta. Paul later entered the University of Alberta, graduating with a BSc in 1929 and an MSc in 1931 in physical chemistry. He obtained his PhD in physical chemistry at McGill University in 1935. Gishler's first job was teaching at the Alberta College of Art and Technology. In 1937 Dr. Gishler joined the National Research Council (NRC) in Ottawa and spent the next 18 years there. In 1955 he joined Chemcell Ltd in Edmonton. He retired in 1969 and undertook a number of consulting activities until 1979. He married Dorothy Riley of Calgary in 1940. They spent many, happy hours together hiking through their beloved Rocky Mountains. They travelled both the David Thompson Highway and the Yellowhead Highway west of Jasper when they were still dirt trails. Dorothy predeceased Paul in 1990. Gishler is survived by two sons and three grandchildren. All those who knew Paul were enriched by his friendship: we are all the poorer for his passing. The sympathy of all members of the Institute is extended to his family.

    • Name: Melba Emma McKay
    • Eby ID Number: Waterloo-121985

    Notes:

    McKAY, Melba Emma (nee Gishler) - B.A. - January 7, 1913 to August 13, 2010. Melba died peacefully in her sleep at Community Nursing Home in Port Perry. Melba was born in Shakespeare, Ontario, the fourth child of Rev. Ernst and Emma Gishler. She is survived by her four children William (Sally Tufts), Elspeth (Paul Deir), Roderick (Marlene Misiuda), and Catherine (Marvin Stevenson); and their children: Megan, Benjamin, Kristen, Andrew, Matthew, Peter, Emily, Jordan, Alex, and James; and great-grandchildren Ewan, Flavie, Anna, Carter and Jacob. Melba leaves her brother-in-law Donald McKay (Thelma), sister-in-law Doreen McKay, and nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and nephews. Melba was predeceased by sisters Ruth and Esther and brother Paul. Melba -"Grammy" to everyone who has known her in the past 40 years - was noted for her wonderful sense of humour, her kindness to all, and her devotion to her large family. A daughter of the manse, she lived in many towns and cities across the country. She attended the University of Manitoba during the 1930's, where she used her exceptional talents at the piano to accompany the Glee Club. She met and dated one of the tenors who would later become her husband, Bill McKay. She graduated into a teaching career in Depression-ridden rural Manitoba, moved to Ottawa, and returned to the West to marry Bill during the Second World War. After the war, the McKays moved to Pickering, where Melba became a founder of Pickering Township Museum and worked on the award-winning Tweedsmuir History of the township while continuing to teach developmentally delayed students in elementary schools in Pickering. An avid collector of Canadiana, particularly Nova Scotia pressed glass and Ontario pine furniture, Melba cheerfully passed on her treasures to her children and grandchildren - a typical Grammy act of kindness. Melba and Bill moved to Port Perry after 30 years on their farm in Pickering. Melba enjoyed life as Grammy to her growing family, played the piano, attended many Toronto Symphony concerts, and loved life at the orchard and in her friendly rural community. During her last few years, she lived placidly at the Community Nursing Home. The family of Melba McKay will receive friends at the WAGG FUNERAL HOME, 216 Queen Street, in Port Perry (905-985-2171) on Sunday August 15 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9pm. A Service to celebrate her life will be held in Utica United Church on Monday August 16 at 2pm. Interment Hillman Cemetery, Utica.

    Melba — William A. McKay. William died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]
