SEPTEMBER 30, 1952 – DECEMBER 9, 2023
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Racette on December 9, 2023, at the age of 71. He is survived by his partner for 21 years, Hélène H. Ton.
He also leaves behind his in-laws and their family members, his beloved cousins, his nephews and their children, and close friends.
A celebration of Robert’s life will take place on Sunday, December 17, 2023 from 1pm to 4pm at the Beechwood National Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, ON K1L 8A6.
Instead of flowers, you may wish to express your sympathy through a donation to the Montfort Hospital Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society or the Ottawa Food Bank, at your convenience.
The family would like to thank all those who have provided exceptional care to Robert over the year: Dr. Chan, Dr. Pires, Dr. Hsu, Dr. Daoud, the Ottawa General Hospital Department of Oncology care unit and the St. Elizabeth Home Care Service.

Sinh Lão Bệnh Tử là điều không ai tránh được. Nhưng cũng có câu nói ‘chính lúc chết đi là khi vui sống muôn đời’. Cho dù nay bồ không còn nhìn thấy được nữa, nhưng tui mong bồ can đảm vượt qua nỗi khổ đau này, như mình nói với nhau, vì Ông đã đến một nơi tốt đẹp hơn, và rồi tất cả chúng ta cũng sẽ lại đoàn tụ. Grosses bises. Thương bồ.
