PRICE, Frank Edward (Ted), B. Comm. (Hons), M.A., C. Dir. - 1951 - 2019 Frank Edward Price, Ted to all, passed away peacefully at home, with family, on October 7, 2019, ending his two-year fight with cancer.
Born August 30, 1951, to Pat and Frank Price, he was the eldest of five.
He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Julia (née Purdy), his son, Liam (Susan McKay), his daughter, Courtney Firlit (Brian), his granddaughters, Claire and Paige Firlit as well as his mother and sisters, Cindy, Debbie Holmes (Jeff), Trish Blanchard (Randy) and Barb Filice (John).
In 2012, he was recognized with the Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Medal for significant contributions to Canadians.
He continued to advise on risk management and risk governance, including as a Commissioner of the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission, until retiring one last time in late 2017. Principled and generous, Ted had a great sense of humor and a lot of common sense.
Ever supportive of the extended Price and Purdy families, he was a loving and loved husband, son, brother, uncle and father.
In recent years, he found joy as Claire and Paige's doting grandfather, "Teddy," building swings and playhouses and wandering Hirtle's beach in Nova Scotia. He is at peace now and will be profoundly missed.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, October 18, 2019, from 4-6 p.m., at 135 St. George St., Toronto, Ontario.
