BOBROW, Philip David
Architect, B.Arch (McGill), M.Arch (Yale) OAQ, FRAIC
October 25, 1936 – March 11, 2016
A well-respected Montreal Architect, Philip David Bobrow died suddenly and peacefully, from viral pneumonia complications at 1:15 a.m. on Friday, March 11, 2016, at the age of seventy-nine. Known for his outspoken disgust at the poorly designed and constructed Olympic Stadium, he was very proud of his achievements in his design/build concepts in Hospital work. Most notably, the Montreal Neurological Institute, Jewish General Hospital wing and Phase 1 of Nun's Island. He passed away surrounded by his children, in a very clean, modern and symmetrically designed Resuscitation room at the Jewish General Hospital. Beloved husband of forty-eight years to Barbara (née Creighton) who was always there for him throughout the last five years in his battle with Alzheimer's disease. Loving and caring father to Stuart (Shelley), Kory (Marie- Josée), and Lissa (Adrian), he taught them a love of food and sharing it with those he loved as long as they were warned to "watch out for bones" when eating fish. He was a proud grandfather to Emma, Joshua, Delilah, Hope and Nikolas, who all inherited his love of capers, pickles and playing the harmonica. He leaves behind his sister, Gloria and his nephews, Barry and Jason, and their families who sought to smartly live their lives in warmer climes. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews, family and friends. The family wishes to thank the Alzheimer's Society, Alzheimer Groupe Inc. and Evasion for their care and support over the past few years, and the amazing staff at the Jewish General, especially Mitchell Denbow.
