It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Pierre Dalrymple on April 3, 2017 at the age of 75. Pierre is survived by his wife of 44 years, Linda (nee DeMeyer), his sons Michael and Steven, daughters-in-law Chantal and Angela, grandsons Tristan and Henry, granddaughters Ashley and Sabrina, and great-granddaughter Olivia.

With over 40 years of proud military service, Pierre was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather, a true role model to his sons and grandchildren, and a kind and generous friend who always brought humour, wisdom, wit and resolve to any situation.

Family and friends are invited to express condolences in the Hall of Colours at Beechwood Cemetery on Tuesday, April 11, 2017 from 1-2 p.m. A celebration of Pierre’s life will then be held in the Sacred Space at 2 p.m., followed by a reception from 3-4 p.m. A private family interment with military honours will be held at a later date.

The family sincerely thanks his oncologist, Dr. Carolyn Faught, and the nursing staff at the Ottawa General Hospital’s medical daycare unit for their kindness and excellent care. The family is also grateful to the CCAC, the compassionate nurses from Carefor Ottawa and especially to Dr. Vincent and Dr. Plantive for their exceptional palliative care.

In memoriam donations may be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (www.llscanada.org).
