- OBITUARIES: Evening Times Globe, November 22, 1966 Eli Boyaner Widely Mourned A leading Saint John scouting official, Eli Boyaner, well known locally and internationally, died unexpectedly Monday night in Saint John General Hospital. Ill for the last few weeks, he had entered hospital on Sunday. A man of tremendous energy and ability in organization; Mr. Boyaner had given of these freely to scouting, in which he had been active for 43 years. At the time of his death, he was Provincial President of the New Brunswick Branch Boy Scout of Canada. Mr. Boyaner had served the Boy Scout movement in city, province, and nationally. He was Provincial Commissioner for 18 years, and earlier for 10 years, was assistant Provincial Commissioner. He was a member of the national Council, as chairman of the program committee for many years, and had been provincial president since 1963. In these various offices, he attended national and international conferences and Jamborees in such distant places as Malaya and Greece and India where he had an interview with the late Prime Minister Nehru. In 1955, Mr. Boyaner was only the second Canadian ever to be named to the International Committee, the controlling body for the Boy Scouts in the world. His six-year term ended in 1956. Pay Tribute The present provincial commissioner of Boy Scouts, Dr. Alan S. Hopper, Moncton, said this morning; 'I have had been associated with Mr. Boyaner almost 40 years in the Scout Movement, and benefitted much from his advice and guidance. Not only Canada, but International Scouting has lost a great man. My first association was when I was a young scout leader in St. Martins, and we have continued as friends in the movement ever since.' And from H. C., Northcott, provincial Scout executive, Saint John, came this tribute: 'One of the most outstanding features of Eli Boyaner was his thoughtfulness for others. No achievement, celebration or event on the part of any person in scouting went unnoticed. Tact, kindness and diplomacy were personified in Mr. Boyaner. Besides his many other activities, his contribution to the youth of this city, this province, and this nation was of inestimable value, and his presence will be sorely missed.' His interests were not limited to scouting. Always active on the Shaarei Zedek Synagogue, he served for eight years as president of the Congregation, an executive office demanding time and thought. Boyaner, Dr. Eli The Red Cross Society benefitted from his interest in the work, and he served in many capacities, both local and provincial representatives on the national executive. For his work in promoting the Rotary Boys and Girls Club as one of the leaders in the founding by the Rotary Club, he was presented with a silver Keystone Award by the national president of the Boys Clubs of Canada. He had the distinction of being the first person to receive an honorary doctor of optometry degree from the college of Optometry of Ontario. He was a founder of the New Brunswick Optometrical Society of which he was the first secretary and became the president in 1929. He has been a member of the National Council Association of Optometrists. Mr. Boyaner is survived by his wife, the former Esther Blitz, one son, Dr. Don Boyaner of Montreal; one daughter Mrs. Shirley Segal of Montreal; six grandchildren, one brother, Louis Boyaner, Saint John; two sisters, Mrs. Norman Smith, Saint John; and Mrs. Maurice Elman, Saint John; and several nieces and nephews. The body is resting in the vestry of Shaarei Zedek Synagogue, 76 Carleton Street, where service will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Interment will be in Fernhill Cemetery. The family wishes that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Boy Scout Association and the Red Cross. Gravestone reference code(s): JM 998.61.395.

Calp, husband of the late Fena (Belenkaya) Calp, of Saint John New Brunswick, died December 22, 2001 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. The 96 year-old entrepreneur and philanthropist was born in Odessa, Russia, on August 1, 1905, the eldest son of Marcus and Sarah Calp. Abe arrived in Saint John on December 2, 1926, two years almost to the day, after fleeing Odessa with his mother, sister, brother, and his childhood sweetheart and wife, Fena Belenkaya, following the death of his father. In 1933, Abe Calp established Calps Ltd., a major department store, which for more than 60 years, served Saint John from its Charlotte Street location. Abe became a citizen of the British Empire in 1931 and, like every other Canadian, he became a Canadian citizen in 1947. Mr. Calp was instrumental in organizing the 'Fena Belenkaya Calp Volunteer of the Year' memorial fund, and was one of the cornerstones of the Boys & Girls Club movement. Abe had joined the Saint John Rotary Club in 1942, and served as the deputy chairman of the Rotary Admiral Beatty Building Fund. Mr. Calp had been honored by the Rotary Club in many ways, as he was made a 'Paul Harris Fellow of the Rotary International Foundation', and was awarded the Canada 125 medal. Abe was a chartered member and past president of the New Brunswick Division of the Canadian Arthritis Society and in 1973, was honoured by Goveneur General Roland Michener with a life membership to the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society. He became a director of the Saint John Boys & Girls Club, was founding chairman of the Saint John Boys & Girls Club Endowment Fund, and, in 1974, he was the campaign chairman of the Boys & Girls Club Rebuilding Fund, raising more than $1 million to repair its fire-damaged building. In his lifetime, he was honoured as both a Life Member and a Master Builder of the Saint John Boys & Girls Club, and was a member of the Board of the National Boys & Girls Club of Canada. In 1957, he was appointed to the first Urban Renewal Commission in Canada, and was an organizer and later chairman of Fundy Linen Services Inc.. Mr. Calp had served on three local hospital boards, and was the chairman of the Saint John Centracare Endowment Fund (later, Mindcare, New Brunswick). He was a counsellor of the Saint John Board of Trade, a director of the Saint John Community Concert Association, the Music Festival, and the Symphony Orchestra. He served for 25 years as a member of the Atlantic Exhibition Association. Mr. Calp became president of the Saint John Merchants Association and the Associated Stores of Canada. He was a charter member of the Retail Council of Canada, serving as vice-president and director for 22 years. In 1985, his peers in the retail industry honoured him with the Distinguished Canadian Retailer Award. He was a member and past-president of the Shaarei Zedek Congregation and served as a general chairman of the Maritime Region of the Jewish National Fund. He was vice-president of the Zionist Organization of Canada, president of the Saint John Ezra Lodge, Zionist Order of Habonim and chairman of the United Jewish Appeal and State of Israel Bond Campaign. Throughout his lifetime, Mr. Calp was also a member of the Union Club, Probus Club, Masonic Lodge #2, Carleton Lodge, the CNIB Advisory Board, and the Westfield and Riverside Gold and Country Clubs. Abe was the last surviving member of his immediate family. He is survived by his three daughters, Marie Bornstein of Toronto, Lucille Kerr of Halifax, and Francine Goldsmith of Saint John, his seven grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents, his wife, Fena in 1989, his brother, Jack, and his sister, Celia.
