Obituary of Robert Frederick Perrott

Robert Perrott

January 15, 1926 - June 13, 2017

 

God saw he was getting tired

And a cure was not to be

So He put his arms around him

And whispered "Come with me".

 

With saddened eyes we watched him suffer

And saw him fade away

Although we loved him dearly

We could not make him stay.

 

A golden heart stopped beating

Hard working hands to rest

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He takes the "very best".

Passed away peacefully at Freeport Health Centre of Grand River Hospital on June 13, 2017 at the age of 91 years.  Son of the late Grace and Robert Perrott, loving husband for sixty years of the late Adelle Pauline (née Kropf).  Dear father of Debra Perrott-Normand and her husband William Normand of Pensacola, Florida.  Survived by his brother William Perrott (Audrey), his sister-in-law Katherine Frank and numerous nieces and nephews.  Robert will be fondly remembered by special friends Deb and Gary and extended family and friends in Ontario, Florida and Louisiana. 

Robert enjoyed the beautiful Canadian outdoors throughout his life.  He camped, skied, scuba dived, canoed and sailed.  He loved gardening and maintaining his beloved home of 53 years in Waterloo.  He had a terrific sense of humour and entertained friends and family with his stories and unique expressions.  Robert was also a veteran of the RAF in WWII.

As per his wishes, cremation has taken place.  Donations may be made to a charity of your choice, Freeport Heath Centre or Operation Smile, one of his favourites.
