It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Robert Purbrick (Kirkland Lake, Ontario), who passed away on December 12, 2022, leaving to mourn family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Hilda and Jim. He is survived by: his wife Ethel; and his stepdaughters, Kerrie (David Gatchell), Bonnie, Heather (Calgary) and Jaye (Tarik Dean). He is also survived by his parents' surprise when their only child delivered four adult grandchildren.
Once Ethel moved to Teck Pioneer Residence, Bob endured endless Covid swabbings to enable twice weekly visits and was an enthusiastic participant in the famous Sunday morning family ZOOM calls.
