He was the eldest son of Andrew F. and Marie Hess of Zurich, ON. He was the beloved husband of the late Isobel L Hess who predeceased him in January, 2010, Predeceased by his brother Paul Hess QC, Quimby is survived by his brother I)r. Fred Hess,'iirronto, and his first cousin Mary '1'ltumpson, Cerritos, CA. Dar father of Robert Hess (Oabriola Island, H(') and Jane Hess, Toronto; dear father-in-law of Laura Flynn Hess and John Neale; beloved grandfather of Graham Hess, Emily Ness (Mike Ronuuaw), Sam Neale and Alice ('lair (Jarxt (lair). Uncle to Peter Hess, Elizabeth McNaught, Susan Hess, Dr. Stephen Hess, Cathy 11ennigar; Paul Hess and Judi Hess. Quimby was horn in the German -settled hamlet of 'Zur- ich, ON, on August 23rd, 1917. At Zurich P.S. when a teacher brought in a ('ecropia cocoon so the children could watch the moth emerge, he began a life-long love atTair with the natural world and in particular the miracle of butterflies and moths. His reverence for nature consumed him his entire life and his house is a repository of all his various passions. His childhood was idyllic -- surrounded by a large extended family, he felt entirely at home in Hay Township and loved to maim its hills, dales and swamps, and the shores of Lake 1luron with his beagle Prince Lem -Putt. He was a lone Scout. When he was fourteen, his father bought a piece of farmland next to the I less house on Goshen St. so that Quimby could convert it into a small hush lot, which he nurtured for more than 50 years. He was an ardent birder. Ilis arrowhead collection, found mostly at The Pinery, was later donated to the 1.lniversity of Western Ontario. He graduated from Exeter H. S., the Faculty of Forestry, University of 'liar onto (1940), and re- ceived the degree Forest Engineer in 1952. His career took hint from the cultivated farm country of his youth in Huron County to the rough and tumble landscape of Northern Ontario where he thrived, running survey crews, and managing logging camps for Spruce Falls Power and Paler Co., Kapuskasing, ()N. In the early 1940s, he joined the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests and was a district forester in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, then a regional forester in Cochrane and Peterborough. From 1961-19157 he was director of the Ontario Forest Technical School near Dorset, ()N. In 1967, he received the Centennial Medal from the government of Canada. During his career as a forester, Quimby worked on the Ontario Insect Survey in Northern Ontario. His final lasting was to 'Toronto where he lived for the next 43 years. After retiring, Quimby worked for the Quetico Foundation aid for ('.1.1).A, in Guatemala. He contributed to many scientific journals and was co-author of The Ontario Butterfly Atlas (1991). Ile was a past president of the Thro it° Entomologists' Association where for many years he helped compile its Annual (butterfly and moth) Summaries. in the 1970s, Quimby heard the siren call of the great rainforests of South America and with Norm Trembley travelled to Leticia, Colombia, and 'i'ingo Maria, Peru. He also collected in Guyana and across Canada and the U.S. Anywhere there was a sunny summer meadow alive with butterflies, insects and bees, Quimby would stop, grab his butterfly net, position his protesting family in lawn chairs and take off, loping happily into the hush. For more than twenty years, he owned a tree farm near Baysville, ON --3110 acres of solitude with its own lake and apple orchard. Ilis happiest moments, he once said, were spent in the Amazon watching bright blue Morphos flitting in the sun. To his children and grandchildren, Quimby was wonderfully loving, caring and indulgent. His advice to them: "never assume anything" and "al- ways finish the jab". Heartfelt thanks from the family to Roy A. F. Neale, Quimby's tender and capable caregiver torr the past year who, no matter the circumst ances, could always make Dad smile. ✓ Wednesday, January 12, 2011 • Lakeshore Advance 15 *U8P�PE8 theng uroom • J), �Ne v2-4tk �swspap,gp. r'vAVaC C/8i1/e 555455.5585 . 1n11la„ w «.« K ',« Mt wool* - - --- ---. 4111t)M may, .. _-... __ _.. lits ►no. alp• fp, watt hvirstil It ow:, , I.,. , ,i t3 tvi flout* *toot or, f!: "17:2 M MM1:1. ,...)1.— — Find It In The Classifieds 555.5554555too ui_ 11, t�f •.oi tilts 1.2 million Canadians —1 in 25 — carry the gene for cystic fibrosis.
