- Abbey, Sidney
- not only did he have an able and capable mind much of his long life and a screwy sense of humour that made me giggle and groan, e-mailing me limericks (real groaners) to thank me for a dinner invitation. According to his obituary, he is personally responsible for the integrity of the Geological Survey of Canada having worked for many years in this field. His meticulous attention to detail was evident through the 20 plus years I knew him, from his catalogued collection of classical recordings to his quick recall of dates and facts.
