OBITUARIES PAUGH, LEONARD JAMES “WHITEY” — October 1937 – November 2013 It is with great sadness that our father, husband, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Whitey Paugh (age 76) passed away peacefully in Nelson B.C. on November 27, 2013. His nickname was given to him early in his life due to the beautiful white locks he sported. Whitey was an avid sportsman and phenomenal athlete and his love of these two passions was transferred down to his children and grandchildren alike. He was also involved in making the infamous wooden crow for the Senior High School it was named after. Whitey was involved in baseball for most of his childhood and took that love of the sport to coaching. He took the first Babe Ruth team from Trail to the World Championships in Casper Wyoming where to this day his accomplishments are for public viewing at the Trail Memorial Centre. His travels included walking the Australian outback, skiing the great slopes of the world such as the Swiss Alps, and Lake Tahoe. He also was a ski instructor and a hunting guide. His work as a carpenter and as a millwright took him from Trail where he started his apprenticeship at Cominco to places throughout Canada including Newfoundland/Labrador, the Yukon and even places abroad. Whitey loved the water and found himself on Kootenay Lake where he chartered his boat to let others enjoy the great fishing the lake provided. His warm smile and endless stories attracted people young and old to take the time to sit down and get to know this truly wonderful man. Whitey was predeceased by his moth-
er Greta, father Eddie, and his first wife Elayne Rose. He has left behind a large family including his second wife Sharon Paugh, 5 siblings - Richard Paugh, Judy Carr, Sharon Jones, Dennis Paugh, and Patricia Paugh, 5 children - Debbie Lindberg, Teresa Paugh-Heintz, Scott Tatoiu, Andrea Chorney, and Carla Tatoiu and 9 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to a Trust Account at the TD Bank in Trail where funds will be donated to the Trail Little League Association in his name. As requested by Whitey, a wake will be held at the Arlington Hotel, 925 Spokane Street, Trail B.C, November 30th at 12:00pm to celebrate his life.

Jane Kean, who played Trixie in ‘Honeymooners,’ dead at 90 BY GILLIAN FLACCUS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES - Jane Kean, a diverse performer who got her start in musical theatre but was best known as Trixie alongside Jackie Gleason on a TV revival of “The Honeymooners,” has died. She was 90. Kean, of Toluca Lake, died Tuesday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank where she was taken after a fall that led to a hemorrhagic stroke, her niece, Deirdre Wolpert, said Thursday. Kean first started working with Jackie Gleason in the 1940s, when they were both on the vaudeville circuit. Her big break, however, came in 1966 when Gleason and CBS revived the hit
show “The Honeymooners” in Miami Beach, expanding it to an hour and adding musical numbers. Kean, a talented singer with a belting voice, starred on the show for five years as Ed Norton’s beleaguered wife Trixie. She often spoke about those years and her chance to appear on such a wellknown program with Gleason, Wolpert said. “One day she picked up the phone and he said, ‘Are you doing anything right now?’ and she said ‘No’ and he said ‘Come on down and be Trixie,”’ Wolpert said of Gleason. “Two weeks later she was on the plane to Florida.” Born in Hartford, Conn., on April 10, 1923, Kean got into show business at
HIGH FRAME RATE 3D
an early age along with her sister, Betty, with the encouragement of her mother. She headlined at the London Palladium before making her debut in a 1943 Broadway production of the Fats Waller musical “Early to Bed.” She eventually moved to Los Angeles and appeared in some films for MGM before forming a comedy act in the 1950s with her sister, who is Wolpert’s mother. The all-female comedy team, a rarity at the time, played night clubs and rubbed shoulders with comedians like Milton Berle. In addition to Wolpert, Kean is survived by Wolpert’s husband and two children and a stepson from her second marriage, Joseph Hecht Jr., and his family.
