FromCBC.CA: "Lishman created two massive replicas of the world famous Stonehenge formations — one made of rusty old cars, and another sculpted out of ice from Lake Scugog.
"'He always talked about that experience he had when he walked into Stonehenge and he thought, 'The Druids were really on to something,' and that there was some kind of cosmic connection that that shape created," Carmen said.
"'He had a spiritual relation to that shape and form."
"But he was most famous for training Canadian geese to fly alongside him in his tiny ultra-light plane, which was immortalized in his autobiography Father Goose and the feature film Fly Away Home.
"Carmen said the idea came to him in the mid-80s, when he was flying his home-built aircraft and was briefly joined by a flock of ducks.
"'He came home from that flight just raging. He said nothing before that moment in his life was as meaningful as that moment when he could see a bird in flight, each feather passing over itself when the bird was flapping," she said.
'"Just the whole experience was so magical for him he had to repeat it.'"
