- 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.
