Rupert was a kind, caring, brilliant man with a wonderful sense of humour who touched many people in his lifetime. He was a wonderful friend & husband. Founder of Tender Loving Care (TLC) nursery schools in Toronto, Collingwood and Florida. Rupert was a visionary & entrepreneur and regarded a remarkable award winning developer in Collingwood. Rupert's first development was a 208 unit condominium project known as Rupert's Landing. This development was a major success with sales wrapping up 18 months later in 1987. Rupert's next endeavor was a 576 unit condominium project known as Lighthouse Point Yacht and Tennis Club. With new knowledge and experience gained from Rupert's Landing, the developer approach to Lighthouse was very unique. It was Rupert's vision, dedication and dream to build a resort development that would be loved by all and a home to many. He brought his vision to reality and remained loyal to the residents of Lighthouse Point throughout his lifetime. His legacy lives on.
