Obituary of Brooke Patrick Carroll

Born in Lancashire, England in 1932. He received his M.B., B.S., M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P. degrees in medicine and surgery from the London Hospital Medical School in England. He became a Medical Officer in the Royal Air Force and served in Germany as well as service with the Aden Protectorate Levies. He traveled to Ceylon and Singapore, Darwin Australia and was Medical Officer at the very operational Woomera Rocket Range. He married and had two sons. Moving to Canada, and after his wife passed, he joined practices in Alberta, Northern Saskatchewan, overseeing 1500 square miles of Northern Bush families and flying into many rural villages with a bush pilot. He trained as a Radiologist at Vancouver Hospital in British Columbia in 1968 and was a specialist at Penticton Regional Hospital and Referral Center, British Columbia serving as Director and Chief of Radiology and President of The Medical Society. Together with his beloved wife, Margaret to whom he has been married for 33 years, they worked a 150 acre ranch, wintered for several years in Baja Sur, Mexico as well as traveling extensively. He loved nature and all that it encompassed, fishing the sea and lakes wherever he went. He was familiar with the birds in every region, was curious about the etymology of plants and his knowledge of military history and firearms was awesome. On almost any subject he was knowledgeable and always ethical to a fault. He suffered his long illness with stoicism and always retained a great sense of humor. In 1999 when he had retired, they moved to Lake Havasu, Arizona and he became a U.S. citizen. He is survived by his loving wife, Margo; sons, Patrick and Michael; stepsons, Mark (Lisa), Mike and Peter Seigle; grandchildren Lexie and Jack. Memory donations in his name may be made to The Western Arizona Humane Society, Lake Havasu City, or Alzheimer's Foundation of America, or Hospice of Havasu. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home and Crematory. Thoughts and condolences may be sent to the family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com.
