Obituary of Jonathan Francis Pickles

PICKLES, Jonathan Francis, C.A. Unexpectedly, after the "Hard as Nails� fight of his life, from complications of leukemia/stem cell transplant, Jonathan, 52, left us peacefully early on the morning of September 23, 2005. His spirit, energy, and passion for life will always be fondly treasured by family and friends. His courage lives on through his devoted wife and best friend, Maureen Mullrooney. Proud and dedicated father to their children, Christy, Kevin, and Sean. Loving son of Joan and the late Bernard Pickles and brother to Christopher (Liza), and Paul (Lynda). Son-in-law of Rita and Tom Mullrooney, and brother-in-law of Kathleen, Pat (Rhoda) and Mike (Pat). Hard working and committed CFO to Sunnybrook and Women�s Health Sciences Centre. He was a fierce competitor and tenacious athlete who is now gracing the soccer fields of heaven. Ever thankful to caring staff of 3C at S&W, and the angels of 14B at PMH for their endless hopeful compassion. The family will receive friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W.
