COUPAR, Robert Brough - passed away peacefully on March 15, 2013. He was born in Dundee, Scotland, but spent most of his life here in Victoria. He was predeceased by his wife Audrey, and his three siblings. He is survived by his adoring children, Lori, Brock, John and Bill, his seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Robert was an officer in the Navy during World War II, a lawyer, and co-founder of the law firm Horne Coupar. Robert was an avid golfer, inventor, and the best Dad ever. He will be missed by all. We would like to thank all of the staff at Douglas Manor for the amazing love and support they provided to Robert and our family. Robert leaves this world a better place. We will love you forever.
