Thomas 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Tom카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dwyer Beynon

If the daughters of Tom Beynon, BSc카지노 게임 컬렉션�65 (mechanical) had only two words to describe their father, it would be 카지노 게임 컬렉션�gentle giant.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

But they have a lot more to say than that.

Their dad had a full life and a full heart, says Michaela Beynon, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�11, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션�13, who idolized him growing up. 

Michaela, daughter Natasha Beynon, and son Adrian were by their father카지노 게임 컬렉션�s side when he passed away peacefully two weeks shy of his 82nd birthday in June 2023.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�He was just so giving. He did everything in his power to make things happen for anyone who crossed his path,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Michaela says.

That included his football teammates at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and in the Canadian Football League, his colleagues and clients during a 40-plus-year career in law and business, his community of Waterloo, Ont., and his wife, Gail Lockyer, and family.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Big boy카지노 게임 컬렉션� are two other words his kids use to describe him 카지노 게임 컬렉션� a phrase that suited him well as a star offensive lineman for his high school football team in Waterloo and later at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s.

Life as a Gael

Their father arrived at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s in 1961 to begin a degree in mechanical engineering. He thought he would join the Gaels right away, but one of his professors dissuaded him.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Dad used to tell this story,카지노 게임 컬렉션� remembers Natasha. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�In one of his first classes at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, this engineering prof said, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Look to the person to your right, look to the person to your left. Only one of you will graduate.카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션�

That scared the young lad enough to hang up the cleats 카지노 게임 컬렉션� at least until his third year, when he thought he could balance the rigours of academic and athletic life.

He went on to make a name for himself on the Gaels offensive line and help win two Yates Cups, presented annually to Ontario카지노 게임 컬렉션�s top university football team.   

But he didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t usually talk too much about his football days at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, say his daughters.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I think it was just the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s community in general that was more important than anything else when it came to the school,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Michaela.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�It gave him that family away from home, and he had friends from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s to the last day of his life. He was definitely a Gael through and through. He loved Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

He also didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t want to be known as a jock, says Natasha. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�He loved football, but he wanted to be known as an academic, and he used sports as a way to do that.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Journey to the Grey Cup

Take his decision in 1965 to enter the (CFL) draft and accept an offer from the (Ticats). It was all about funding a law degree at the 카지노게임사이트 of Western Ontario that he would complete at the same time as playing professional football.

It didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t quite work out as planned, however. Mr. Beynon never played for the Ticats, and by the end of his first year in law school he was out of money.

He was ever the problem-solver, though. When the Ticats traded him to the Regina-based in 1966, he decided to report to the team until late September. That카지노 게임 컬렉션�s when he would have enough funds to quit football and go back to law school at Western.

But, another problem: the Roughriders were winning. Mr. Beynon was torn about his secret plan and told a teammate about it. Unexpectedly, that confession led to an offer to transfer to law school at the 카지노게임사이트 of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon (apparently the dean was a huge Roughriders fan). He took the offer and commuted the three hours back and forth between Regina and Saskatoon until he had his law degree.

Mr. Beynon ended up winning the Grey Cup in 1966 with the Roughriders and played in it again in 1967. In 1968, he was traded to the Ottawa Rough Riders, where he won another Grey Cup that year and a third in 1969 카지노 게임 컬렉션� all while articling at a law firm in the capital.   

A career in law

The whole CFL카지노 게임 컬렉션�law school ordeal was typical Dad, say his daughters. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�He was the most calm, cool, collected human,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Michaela. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It was always 카지노 게임 컬렉션�If there카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a will, there카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a way.카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션�

That kind of stoic problem-solving would serve Mr. Beynon well as a lawyer specializing in corporate, business, technology, and intellectual property law. He was a partner at Gowling & Henderson and McCarter Grespan Beynon Weir, and also practised at Sims Clement Eastman.

He was passionate about the tech startup scene as well. He became the president and CEO of Waterloo Micro Systems in 1986 and later co-founded two startup support organizations in Kitchener and Waterloo 카지노 게임 컬렉션� Communitech and Accelerator Centre. At Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, he was a director and vice-chair of PARTEQ Innovations, a not-for-profit that supported Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s researchers in marketing their inventions (it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s now part of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Partnerships and Innovation).

카지노 게임 컬렉션�He also fully and firmly believed in education,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Natasha. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�He always wanted to learn.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

That included regular guest lecturing gigs at the 카지노게임사이트 of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier 카지노게임사이트, taking corporate courses at Harvard 카지노게임사이트, and, at 65, getting his master카지노 게임 컬렉션�s degree of law in intellectual property at York 카지노게임사이트.

Yet, as full as his working and academic life was, he had a full life outside of it, too, say his daughters.   

A legacy of community

He was an avid golfer, skier, sailor, and Baskin-Robbins aficionado. He also served on various boards, including the Grand River Hospital카지노 게임 컬렉션�s in Kitchener, and was on the founding committee of Hospice Waterloo Region, where he spent his final days. 

But he always made time for Natasha, Michaela, and Adrian, whether that meant showing up for dance recitals, basketball games, equestrian competitions, or ski trips to Collingwood, Ont.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�He never said 카지노 게임 컬렉션�no,카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Michaela. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The man didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t need sleep. So, I hope he카지노 게임 컬렉션�s resting peacefully now because he deserves it.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

She also hopes his legacy of being an intelligent, caring human lives on. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�He cared so much about those different communities he was part of in his life. He loved Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, he loved the Waterloo community, his work community. So, I hope people remember him for his love and passion for making all those communities better.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Natasha wishes for the same. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�He had such a huge heart, and his message was always that the world is your oyster. There카지노 게임 컬렉션�s never something that카지노 게임 컬렉션�s not within your reach. You just might have to work a little harder to get there. And he did that.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
