Manning Louis Mador
Manning Louis Mador Died October 8, 2010, aged 92 years. Born in Toronto and a graduate of the medical school at U of T, Manning served as a medical officer in the Canadian forces at Halifax during WW2. There he met and married his life's love, Peggy Filkin Lumb. Following the war, Manning practised family medicine alongside his father-in-law in rural Hastings County, Bancroft, Ontario. He qualified as a urologist and went to Sudbury to work in his specialty and to raise a family. Manning later returned to Toronto as a dedicated activist within the medical profession. He ultimately served as president of the Ontario Medical Association and of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. In retirement, he worked to benefit medical students through the University of Toronto Medical Alumni Association. Manning was a life-long devote of cigars, fine food, sports cars, music, and very dry martinis. Hospitality, often helped by Peggy's wonderful cooking, was a great source of joy. Manning was predeceased by his wife (2001). He is survived by their five children; David (Janet) of Edmonton, Charles (Amanda) of London England, Janet of Toronto, Joseph of Vancouver, and Martha (Ray) of London England. Nine grandchildren will dearly miss 'Doc': Jordan, Brett, Rachel, Lauren, Lana, Penelope, Naomi, Nathan, and Gabriel. 'Mendel' will also be sorely missed by dear friend Lois Dolan and her children. The family is most grateful for Mercy Flores' kind and compassionate care in recent years. Manning would also wish for his medical, nursing, and other caregivers, to know of his sincere appreciation of their efforts. Funeral and celebration of life will be held on Saturday October 23, 2010. Funeral at Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto at 1:00 p.m. Reception following at 25 Pear Tree Mews, Toronto. Private family interment at a later date.
