ROBERT COLQUHOUN (Roy) Passed away peacefully on October 15, 2019. Born in Kirkconnel, Scotland, Roy immigrated to Canada to pursue his career in nuclear engineering, with a focus on safety systems, first in Montreal and then Toronto. Roy's links to Scotland were evident in his love of Robert Burns poetry and rugby (playing for University of Aberdeen, Montreal Wanderers and Toronto Scottish). Roy also enjoyed volunteering as a Scout leader, travelling and spending time with his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by Karin Bergen; his children, Marcia, Diana (Rob) and Gavin (Maigaelle); his grandchildren, Cole, Caitlin, Xander, Maia and Zoe; and his friends and family. Many thanks to the caring and compassionate staff at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and Churchill Place. A Celebration of Life will be held at Kopriva Taylor Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Rd West, Oakville, on Saturday, November 2nd at 2:00 p.m. Online condolences at www.koprivataylor.com

What a presence. I Knew him as an outstanding Scout leader and referee on and off the field. What a guy. One of a kind.
He called me ubiquitous, but he lived it by jumping in to help everywhere in his communities. Roy, I was so glad to have your help and direction in Leaside Scouts and on the soccer field. You were such an example as to be larger than life. I salute you and thank you. I will remember you.

Roy was such a warm and generous man. He was wonderful with our children and left a big impression on all of us whenever we were together in Toronto or Kincardine. His humour and zest for life will be greatly missed by us all.

Sue, Paul, Taylor, Rebecca and Sinead.
