Obituary for Philip Arnold Grocott
December 14, 1941 – December 4, 2024
With sadness, we announce the passing of Philip at St. Paul’s Hospital on December 4th, 2024. Philip would have turned 83 years old on December 14th.
Philip was pre-deceased by his father, John, his mother, Muriel Beatrice Ada (nee Williams) and also his brother, John Paul. Philip is survived by his sister-in-law, Maureen, and by his nephews, Wade (partner Richelle) and Shawn (partner Meike) and their son, Ian.
Philip loved growing up in Duncan, B.C. He loved playing his beautiful re-conditioned piano that his father purchased for him. At the age of 14, Philip was baptized. Philip fondly remembered playing piano for weddings at Central Baptist Church in Victoria and playing for outdoor church services in Nanaimo with the piano on the back of a flat deck truck.
Philip studied at Sprott College and obtained a Certificate in Finance. He did finances for a number of smaller regional hospitals (Burns Lake, Prince Rupert, Smithers) and even for a mining company in Santiago, Chile. Philip was the Personnel Director at Mills Memorial Hospital in Terrace for over a decade starting in 1983. He loved to bring his friends out on his boat, exploring all over Northwest B.C. He was a very active member of the Terrace Lions Club – his countless hours of volunteer work benefitted the Salvation Army, Canadian National Institute for the Blind, local Fall Fair/Loggers Sports, Boy Scouts, Ski Club, to name a few, for many years.
Philip moved from Terrace to Vancouver in 1995, and in 2003 his father moved from Duncan to join him in Vancouver, buying a condo a block away. Both of them attended the First Baptist Church, Vancouver and became beloved volunteers of the Shelter Program, helping the homeless. Philip was a very kind and gentle servant and he will be deeply missed, and always remembered by the many people he touched throughout his life.
The Memorial Service will be held at Central Presbyterian Church, 1155 Thurlow Street, on Saturday, January 11th, 2025. Doors will open at 12:30 pm and the service will be from 1:00 pm – 2:00pm. Refreshments will be held at the Fellowship Hall after the service at 2:00 pm.
