Educator, accountant.
Born at Morden on 29 April 1904, son of Thomas Falconer (1859-1907) and Jessie Bartleman (1867-1925), he contracted infantile paralysis in childhood which caused lifelong lameness. After graduating from high school, he taught on permit at Woodrow School (1923), then served as the Principal of Bowsman Union School (1924-1925) and Swan Lake School (1926-1927) and a teacher at the Brandon Collegiate (1927-1928).
He attended Queen’s University, receiving BA and MA degrees in History. He then studied accountancy and was accredited by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Manitoba in 1936. He worked as a chartered accountant at Winnipeg (1935-1938) and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan (1938-1942). On 22 July 1939, he married Lola Mary Passmore (1899-1985) at Toronto, Ontario and they had a son at Moose Jaw. The family moved to Toronto in 1942 where he worked as an accountant, a federal tax assessor, and later an accountant for Noranda Mines until retirement in 1969.
He moved to Victoria, British Columbia in 1970 and died there on 7 April 1989.
