<div itemprop="description">August 15, 1929 Tallinn, Estonia ~ August 11, 2015 Toronto, Ontario <br /> <br />After several years of declining health, Raoul died suddenly in the early morning hours on August 11, just short of his 86th birthday. He was the beloved husband of Marika, stepfather of Laura Boujoff (Andrew), Taat (grandfather) of Viola and Roland, and godfather of Rein Varik. He was predeceased by his parents, Eleonore and Konrad Sepp. In 1944, Raoul and his family escaped from Estonia to Sweden, where he worked and attended night school. Raoul came to Canada in 1952 and graduated from the University of Toronto in 1956 with a chemical engineering degree. He worked in Cornwall, Kingston and Edmonton before retiring in 1985. One of Raoul's greatest pleasures in his last years was seeing his step-grandchildren, who had many hugs for their Taat. His immediate family here in Canada and his relatives in Estonia all mourn his passing. In accordance with Raoul's wishes, cremation has taken place, with a private family celebration of life to follow in September. For those who wish, donations in Raoul's memory to an Estonian charitable organization would be much appreciated.</div>
