ENDICOTT, Robert J. (Major Ret'd - RCAF) Passed away peacefully, in the loving presence of immediate family, on Thursday, October 6, 2005, at age 65, after a six-year battle with cancer, during which he always kept his sense of humour, quick wit and love for life. He soared through the skies in Canada, U.S., Germany and France during his 37-year career as a military fighter pilot on CF-104 Starfighters, T33s, T37s, T38s, Tutors, CF-100s and Auroras, and later as an executive pilot on Dash-7s and Dash-8s. During his retired years, he enjoyed walks with his wife Ursula and their dog Teddy and getting together with family and friends at his favourite place, the cottage at Sharbot Lake, and at home in Orleans. Bob was a beloved friend and husband of Ursula (nee Wittmann); loving father of son Tom and daughter-in-law Michelle of Stittsville, and daughter Christine and son-in-law Jon Fee of Prescott. Wonderful grandfather of Alyssa, Sydney and Savanna Endicott; and Kelly and Johanna Fee, who all loved his stories. A memorial service will be held Friday, October 14 at 1 p.m. at Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa. Many thanks to the staff of Home Care and the doctors and nurses in the oncology unit of Ottawa General Hospital for the wonderful care during his final weeks.
