Births & Deaths
  a.. WHITTAKER, Herbert William 
WHITTAKER, Herbert William 
Died Sept. 9, 2006 in Toronto, in his 95th year. Born Sept. 20, 1910 in Montreal PQ, parents were Eleanor Trapitt and George Whittaker. Brother George (Lillias) predeceased Herbert in 1997. 


Survived by niece Leslie Whittaker and nephew Jeffrey (Maura) of Vancouver, BC, who remember him as their favourite uncle, Uncle Bert, who introduced them to performing arts. Fondly remembered by his closest ''god-daughter'' Kate Barris, who cared for him like a daughter, particularly in his last years. 


Herbert championed Canadian live theatre, its actors and actresses, designers and directors all his life. Reviewed countless productions during his career as the Theatre Critic, first for the Montreal Gazette and then the Globe & Mail until 1975. Encouraging the growth and development of Canadian theatre was his mission since 1935, culminating in the founding of Theatre Museum Canada, which is his legacy. 


Memorial Service at the Arts & Letters Club, 14 Elm St., Toronto at 4:00 on October 12, 2006. 

 

Donations in lieu of flowers, to Theatre Museum Canada would be very appreciated, at 77 Bloor St. W, Suite 1903, Toronto, ON, M5S 1M2.
