Obituary: Robert Storry of Port P Robert John Edgar Storry pass- ed away suddenly April 22nd, 1988, at the Sunnybrook Medical Centre in Toronto, in his 56th year. Robert will be dearly missed by his wife Joyce, and four children, Jan of Oshawa, Hal of Orillia, Paul of Bowmanville, and Kelly at home. Bob was the son of the late Edgar Stanley Storry and Rachel Victoria Storry. Bob is also survived by three sisters, Ed- na (Mrs. Don Hall of Manitoulin Island), Edith (Mrs. Jack Magee of Oshawa), and Ruth (Mrs. Keith Mark of Port Perry). Bob was born in Uxbridge Township on September 5th, 1932. he attended his early years of schooling at Siloam Public School. He later finished his education at Port Perry Public and High Schools, where Bob enjoyed basketball, and track and field. After high school, Bob worked for Dominion Stores until November, 1951, when his 36 year career began with General Motors. On September 8, 1956, Bob Storry married Joyce Maxine Wallace. Together they built their home, which still remains the family home. Bob and Joyce then had four children between the years 1959-1968. Bob was actively involved in the community. He was an avid curler, bowler, golfer, and lawn bowler. He was involved with Port Perry Minor Softball Association. Bob also served many years on the Port Perry Minor Hockey Executive, as well as many dedicated years of coaching and managing minor hockey teams. Bob recently also served on the Port Perry Lawn Bowling Executive. Bob was a past master of the Fidelity Lodge, No. 428, Port Perry. He was in- itiated into the Lodge in 1959, and was installed as WOR. Master in 1969. Anyone who ever knew Robert Storry, knew him as a kind, generous, gentle, loving man. His smile, and unique sense of humour left its' mark on anyone in contact with him. In July 1987, Bob retired from General Motors after 36 years, to enjoy life with his family. Along with Joyce, Bob loved to travel and enjoy their cottage up north. Bob Storry was a man that could never be described in one word. His unselfish, fun-loving and caring nature will be remembered by all. Bob Storry was the greatest husband, father, son-in-law, friend and neighbour a person could ever know. If Bob Storry has touched your life, if anything he has made your life that much better. His kind words of en- couragement and praise, and love shall always be there for us to remember, and to guide those that he loved. Dave Corneil gave the following eulogy. Those of us in attendance here this afternoon, to pay our last respects to Bob, knew him as a man who wore many different coats. Probably one of the best recognized coats found in it's wearer the loving & devoted hus- band to "The Wife", as she was affectionately known by Bob. There was never a question about the depth of his love for Joyce. One couldn't miss the sparkle in his eyes whenever he spoke of her. Underneath another coat, we found the proud & concerned father, as evidenced by his active participation in his children's ac- tivities over the years. His pride in their accomplishments, both as youngsters & as they matured in- to adulthood, was impossible for Bob to mask. Socially, Bob was a person who was not only an interesting com- panion, but a man who was in- terested in others & genuinely cared. Frequently people fall in- to one of two categories...the listeners or the speakers. Bob was one of the few people I know who was able to combine the two. Understandable why we enjoyed his company. Bob was a neighbour to many of Citrus fruit to be sold at PPHS by Mike Green & Chris Wokral Once again fall passed quickly, not waiting long enough for us to enjoy its full splendor and glory. Thanksgiving has passed and Halloween is less than a week 'away. Here at Port Perry High School it's no different.

This year, as in the past, the Foreign Child Committee will be donating $1,000.00 to Unicef at Hallowe'en. We hope that everyone will contribute to Unicef come Hallowe'en. Last Friday, the school had their Hallowe'en Dance. "E.S.P." were the D.J.'s and gave P.P.H.S. another exciting and 'fun' dance. On Monday, October 17th, the Port Perry Girl's Basketball Team played Ajax. Here are the results. Midget - 58-21, Port wins; Junior - 37-26, Port wins; Senior - 63-31, Ajax the winners. From all the staff and students here at Port Perry High, have a safe and memorable Hallowe'en. See next week's paper for infor- mation on what's happening here at P.P.H.S. you. He lived in this community for quite a long time & was proud to be a member of it. He watched Port Perry grow & felt as a par- ticipant in much of it's progress. Friend is an often maligned & abused word, but it's true concept certainly applied to Bob. No coat could hide the type of loyal & con- cerned friend many of us had in him. If a man's wealth was to be judged by his number of friends, I would suggest Bob was a very rich man, indeed. This would seem substantiated by the gather- ing here today. Another coat covered the co- worker, albeit a recently retired one. Bob had paid his dues & was enjoying the harvest of his endeavours. While still employed at G.M., he would bring to the workplace his own special brand of humour. This humour created many stirring discussions among his colleagues. How familiar to many of us one of Bob's favourite nigglers "That's Woman's Work"? What pleasure he took in the controversial reactions this question inevitably produced. What an interesting personality to have worked with! Bob was enjoyed & respected by those with whom he work- ed...both in G.M. & on behalf of G.M. He had his own standards that he would not compromise but there was no way he would ever force them on the other person. I had the honour & pleasure of knowing Bob for almost 15 years. We were co-workers & daily bridge partners. The more I knew him, the more aware I became of his fine character & often unique ... WHO'S IN? WHO'S OUT? FIND OUT NOW! CRLEY 920 Keeping Central Ontario Informed! PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 25, 1988 -- 49 idiosyncracies. There are many adjectives suitable to describe Bob. Good-natured, dependable, sincere, fun-loving, compas- sionate... These are just a few. You see? There were many coats in his wardrobe. All of us here are aware of at least some of the styles & colours. Our exposure to Bob Storry has to leave all of us a little richer, for whatever our reasons. We will all miss him. None erry more wan goyce & their family. I wish, for all of you that one, or even some, of his coats will warm you forever. A funeral service was held at the Wagg Funeral Home in Port Perry on Monday, April 25th, 1988. Inter- ment Pine Grove Cemetery. Rev. John Brown officiated. A Masonic Memorial Service was also held. The outstanding number of floral tributes, memorial donations, cards and thoughtfulness were greatly appreciated.
