MURRAY, Robert James - Bob passed away on August 14, 2017
with dignity and respect. Bob was a part of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals
and was a member of the Vimy Band, Air Transport Command Band and CFB
Chilliwack Band. After a 30 year career in the military, Bob was involved in
developing the LaSalle Seniors’ Band and was a charter member of the LaSalle
Causeway Swing Band. He was always ready to play Last Post for other comrades.
He recently received a commendation from the city of Kingston for his many
years of playing Last Post at the Cross of Sacrifice for Remembrance Day
Services. With his trumpet, his services spanned the 1967 Olympics, numerous
tours and installation of the “Jimmy” at the Vimy Gate. He is survived by his
partner Cori, his son Mark and Daughter Michelle and many grandchildren and
great grands. He is predeceased by daughter Monica and son Michael. So many
thanks to the fantastic palliative team at Providence Care Hospital. As music
was Bob’s life, we welcome friends to come and share memories and music at the
Royal Canadian Legion 560, Montreal Street in Kingston on Tuesday, August 29th
from 4-6 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to
Joe’s Musical Instrument Lending Library. In care of GORDON F.
