Robert GOODALL Obituary
GOODALL, Robert Graydon Weir M.D., F.R.C.S., F.A.C.S.
After a long battle borne with great dignity and grace, Gay has died from the complications of Parkinson Disease in Kingston, Ontario, on Saturday, May 27, 2006. Dearly beloved husband of Helen (Ayer). Devoted father of Wendy Creech (Chris), Jamie (Kathe), and Rob, and loving grandfather of Tierney, Tyler and Jay, CJ and Tia, Maddie and Kenzie. Predeceased by his parents, Dr. and Mrs. J.R. Goodall, and sisters Twink and Shirley. Born July 27, 1924, Gay attended Selwyn House School and TCS, served in WW 2 (RCNVR), graduated from McGill Faculty of Medicine in 1953 and practised surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Montreal for over 30 years. He will be remembered with a smile for his irrepressible sense of humour and fair play, his love of medicine, sports and music, his great compassion for his patients and his deep love for his family. We extend heartfelt thanks for the great kindness and care given by Dr. Nick Cristoveanu for 8 years, and so many of the staff at Rideaucrest Home, the incredible care and compassion given to him at KGH, and the many friends who kept in touch to offer a bit of cheer. Friends are welcome to join us in celebration of Gay's life, to be held at the James Reid Funeral Home, Cataraqui Chapel (1900 John Counter Blvd.) in Kingston, on Saturday, June 24, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service, as well as in the James Reid Reception Centre immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Canadian Brain Tissue Bank, 399 Bathurst St., Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto, M5T 2S8, for brain research, or to the charity of your choice. Happy memories will be gratefully received by email at [email protected]

I still remember with pleasure, the many times that Gay dropped in to my hospital room at the Queen E, where I spent nearly 6 weeks in traction for a badly broken leg. He would both amuse and commiserate with me, as he sat and relaxed for a few minutes. His visits certainly helped those long days go by.

I knew Dr. Goodall when I was a student the QEHM Class of '61. He was always kind and respectful to the nurses. Not always the case in those days. My sympathies to his family and friends.

Our deepest sympathy to all your family. We have many memories of Dr. Goodall's caring compassion for all his patients. He was a delight to work with and remains a fine example of commitment to profession and family and friends.

My sincere sympathy to all of you. I worked with Dr. Goodall at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and he was one of our very favourite surgeons.
