Robin Strump Obituary

STRUMP, Robin Iain Patrick September 13, 1950 - May 8, 2018 On Tuesday, May 8th Iain took his last bike ride on the Trans Canada Trail near Shawnigan Lake, B.C., passing suddenly at the age of 67 while on the trail. He was the loving husband of Sandra and cherished father of Reade. Iain's sister Pamela, sister-in-law Laurie (Craig), and mother-in-law Grace Reade, will miss his unconditional support and presence. He was the ultimate Uncle Iain to Aimee, David, Leif, Cole, Jonah, Paisley, Chase and Troy and many friends of Reade. Iain graduated with a MBA from The University of Western Ontario. He joined the TD Bank Group in 1974, leading a distinguished 35 year career with postings in Toronto, Los Angeles and Calgary. Known for an aggressive, get-it-done style, he cared deeply for his team and customers alike. He finished his banking career as Senior Vice President, Prairie Region retiring in 2006. Retirement took the Strumps to Arbutus Ridge on Vancouver Island to live by the ocean, close to family, while enjoying golf, cycling and touring around in Iain's fast vehicles. Iain was a challenged golfer, yet an ardent ball retriever. World travels and California winters made many more opportunities to make wonderful memories with family and friends alike. Iain was a Husband, Father, Uncle, Friend and Banker like no other. Iain possessed a keen wit, sharp sense of humour and had a way with words that certainly kept us entertained! Though he has left us unexpectedly, the love, laughter and memories will live on forever. A private service was held Sunday, May 13th on a favourite biking trail. The family invites the many friends and family to celebrate his life as he lived his, surrounded by many and raising a pint to a life well lived. Condolences may be offered online at www.sandsduncan.ca.

Sandra & Reade, I was beyond saddened to hear of Iain's sudden passing. I had wanted to send you a note (mail), but cannot find your address. This space is limited and I could write so much about Iain. He was firm, but kind, a great story teller, really genuine and so witty. I am honoured to have worked for him. Sometimes, he scared the hell out of me, but he made me laugh A LOT. He put up with me until his retirement. When he left, I didn't stay much longer ...just wasn't the same. My sincere sympathy to you both, he loved you so much! I will never forget him.

Very saddened to hear this news. Iain was an amazing leader that I have many fond memories of. He left a legacy that has never been the same. My condolences to his family...it was not hard to see that family came first. He often referenced his family when presenting to us; I can still remember him talking about his son getting a Mohawk. His quick wit always stood out, but you never had to guess what his expectations were. You will be missed Iain!

Patty and I were crushed when we heard. A wonderful person, an inspiring leader with a big heart and a great banker. He made Patty and I feel so welcome when we were in Calgary. Our thoughts are with you Sandra.
