A 28-YEAR-OLD North Van-

a threat to injure and possession of
a weapon dangerous to the public.

Ian - Frederick Heathcote was

“going to cut your throat. I’m go-
ing to rob yon. I’m going to come
back and rob you.”

He was also charged with
possession of a weapon dangerous

a knife.

Appearing before Judge J.B.

STONG'S Markets Ltd. founder
Ralph Stong died suddenly May 28
in Vancouver after a short illness.

He was 72.

A former professional baseball
player with the old Vancouver
Athletic Club, Mr. Stong, along
with his father Carson Ross Stong,
founded the retail food market
chain that bears the family name in
1931.

He took over management of
Stong’s in the early 1940s after his
father died.

Mr. Stong was a major figure in
Lower Mainland baseball and was
instrumental in founding the Little
Mountain Little League in 1952.
The league was the first in the
Lower Mainland area.

RALPH STONG

In recognition of his contribu-
tion to baseball as a player, a
builder and sponsor of the sport,
he was inducted into the Sports
B.C. Hall of Fame in 1985.

Mr. Stong’s entrepreneurial
skills and his dedication to the
community and the community
spirit of his business have
established Stong’s as a major
retail fixture on the North Shore
and in the Lower Mainland.

Son-in-law Bill Rossum, the cur-
rent general manager of Stong’s,
said Mr. Stong will be sadly missed
by his family and the community.
