Dr. Elmer Andrade
1935-2018
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Dr. Elmer
Andrade announces his passing, which occurred on Sunday, July 22,
2018. Born in Manila, Philippines on January 9, 1935, he was a son of
the late Isaias and Crispina (Moreno)
Andrade.
Elmer
was a loving and devoted husband to his wife of 52 years, Teresita. He
graduated Medical school from the University of Santo Tomas in 1957.
He continued his Medical training in Chicago, Illinois. He then
completed his residency in Cleveland, Ohio in 1964, where he was a big
fan of the Cleveland Browns. He later moved to Ottawa, Ontario where
met his wife, Teresita, and later married in 1966. He became a
certified member of the Royal College of Physicians/Surgeons.
Elmer then moved to Saint
John, New Brunswick in 1966, where he started his own practice with
Dr. Tom Foster, retiring in 1995. He became a board certified member
of the American College of Surgeons in 1973. Over the course of his
career, he proudly delivered over 6000
babies.
Elmer
had plenty of opportunities to work wherever he liked, but chose to
stay in Saint John because it was a good place to raise his family and
he enjoyed the lifestyle. He was an avid sports fan. He taught his
children how to play many sports, including tennis and
golf.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to
Dr. Chris O’Brien for his years of kindness and friendship
to Elmer and his family.
Elmer is survived by his loving wife, Teresita; sons
Mike (Nancy London) and Brian (Anne McGrath); sister Violy as well as
many nieces and nephews.
Aside from his parents, he is predeceased by his
brothers Romy, Cesar, and Rene.
