Obituary of Rodney Douglas Munro

After a valiant battle, passed away peacefully at University Hospital, on Thursday, October 12th, 2017, at the age of 78, surrounded by his loving family. Rod was predeceased by his dearly beloved best friend and wife of 48 years Marian (Currie). Proud father to Brian (Nancy) and Cheryl (Bob) and superman to his granddaughters Allix and Taylor. Son of the late Russell and Lillian Munro and proud big brother to Bradley (Ildi), Alan and Marion. Brother-in-law to Jane Munro, Eva McLean (Doug), John and Mona Currie and Arthur and Shirley Currie. Proud uncle to his many nieces and nephews. Rod followed in the footsteps of his mother and father with a wonderful career at London Life, where he made lifelong friendships. Like Marian, Dad was happiest when surrounded by family. He was always the guy to bring levity to a situation, which helped all to persevere through his many health challenges. Thank you Dr. Karen Lo and the wonderful staff at McGarrell Place, and a special thank you to Mary Anne MacPherson for the dedication, care and friendship provided to Dad over the last two years. Friends will be received at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London on Sunday, October 15th from 2:00 – 4:00 and 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. A private family service will be held at a later date. Donations can be made, in Rod’s memory, to Diabetes Canada.
