ROBERT PURCELL Obituary

ROBERT PURCELL April 17, 1943 - April 18, 2014 Died peacefully in Toronto after a short illness. Adored husband of Lois (De Merchant), beloved brother of Judy (Marcel Hamelin), Pat (John Smart) and Sue. Predeceased by his brother Peter (Barbara Morrison). Bob was admired and will be cherished by his 12 nieces and nephews and sadly missed by his many friends. His absence has already been noticed by his feline buddy Mooch. Bob will be remembered as an expert wordsmith, an avid sailor, a creative cook and bartender and a lover of sports cars. The family wishes to express its deep appreciation to Bob's caregivers and the ACE team at St. Michael's Hospital. A celebration of his life will take place later in the summer. "Goodnight, sweet prince..."

Lois, so very sorry to hear about Bob. It's difficult to know what to say to someone after such a huge loss. Grief can be so hard, but the good memories you have will eventually fill your thoughts.
