Lou Sidney Earp

June 5, 1929 - March 8, 2009

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden, yet by the grace of God, peaceful passing of our beloved father Lou Earp on March 8, 2009 at North York General Hospital.

Lou is survived by his son Randy, daughters Cynthia and Sharon Dirks and her husband Ted; his grandchildren Jennifer, Ryan and David. He is pre-deceased by his loving wife Connie (d. 2007) and his son Brian (d. 2000) (wife Naida).

Lou was born and raised in Calgary. He received a degree in Civil Engineering in 1951 at the University of Alberta and enjoyed a successful international career leading and managing development and infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Oman as Executive Vice President, Director and Corporate Secretary of Cansult Limited (a subsidiary of Marshall Macklin Monaghan of Toronto). He returned to Toronto in 1984 after living and travelling abroad for many years which he truly enjoyed.

Lou was known for his intelligence, graciousness, charm and sense of humour. His kind and loving presence will be missed by all those who were fortunate to know him.

Friends are invited to attend a celebration of Lou's life on March 13, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. at St. John's York Mills Anglican Church, 19 Don Ridge Drive, Toronto.
