Obituary
Surrounded by close family, Randy Burling passed away on August 17th at University Hospital in
London at the age of 70. Beloved father of Chris (Cheryl), Rob (Erin), and Matt (Shanna); adored
grandfather of Benjamin, Tess, Walter, and Hannah. Dear brother of Robin (Rob), Rick, and the
late Rebecca. Missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family, and devoted friends in
Hamilton and Es, Ontario, and in the United States.
Randy will be remembered as kind, gentle, and engaging – always ready to share a story or
listen to a friend. He crafted a successful career in pharmaceutical sales where his innate ability
to connect and build relationships helped him thrive. Those qualities allowed him to find new
friendships and adventures in his retirement. A nature-lover, Randy loved cycling and hiking the
trails in Hamilton, and exploring the Royal Botanical Gardens. He often volunteered for local
community events and spent over a decade on the fields of Waterdown coaching youth
baseball. He could often be found behind the counter of Waterdown IDA Pharmacy, helping
customers, and sharing stories with neighbours and friends. He was a lifelong train enthusiast
and is a Past-President of the HOMES Model Railway Club and Museum in Hamilton.
Randy was fiercely proud of his three boys, whom he showed how to pursue a life lead by
kindness and compassion. He will be dearly missed.
Family and friends will be invited to a Celebration of Life at a later date.
If desired, donations in memory of Randy can be made to London Health Sciences Centre,
where he received incredible care from the cardiac transplant team, or to the Royal Botanical
Gardens.
