Abstract

ABSTRACTThis invited article is a somewhat personal memorial and tribute to a wonderful, gentle man who was a dominant figure in forensic science in Ontario for fifty-six years, from 1911 to 1967. During this period, he witnessed, and participated in, the advances in science that transformed forensic science from the era of the microscope and the test tube to something we are more familiar with today, of laboratories that require computer software and hardware more than they do glassware and plumbing. His influence on several generations of students in his days at the University of Toronto, and on his younger colleagues (including this author) during his later career at the Centre of Forensic Sciences, had a major impact on analytical chemistry and forensic science in Canada and abroad.Author's Note: Because this is not a typical Journal article but rather is a brief personal recollection and tribute, the first person seems more appropriate and will be used throughout.
