It is with great sorrow we announce the death of Robin Alexander Cullum, who passed away peacefully at Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital after a rapid decline.
Robin was the beloved husband of 30 years to Karen Kirby-Cullum, and loving father to sons Paul and Mark (Lindsay) Cullum, stepsons Ian and Jason Kirby and stepdaughter Sarah Kirby. He was the very proud granddad to Sean, Rachel and Katie and a dear brother to his sister Angela Cullum. Robin will be remembered by many friends and relatives in the UK, USA, and New Zealand as well as in Canada. He will also be missed by his first wife Pamela Currie.
Robin was born in London, England, but spent his adult life in Canada after venturing west to attend McGill University in the 1960s. His working life consisted of periods of teaching and later the federal public service which never was as exciting as his time with CUSO in Tanzania. Robin was noted for his dry wit, known for his quirky behaviour and almost made famous by his world travels which frequently included an unplanned stop over in an exotic hospital.
Following Robin's wishes there will be a private interment at a later date.
For those wishing to express sympathy, the family would appreciate donations to any of the Canadian Liver Foundation, the Canadian Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders or the Ottawa Humane Society.
