It is with great sadness that we share that Robert W. Kingston MD, originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, age 80, passed away peacefully in Mundelein, Illinois on January 7, 2024. Son of the late Robert and Alice Kingston, he is survived by his loving life-long partner of over 40 years, Mary (Mimi), and his six children: R.J. (Di), Chara (Aaron), Michael (Courtney), Lara, William "Paddy" (Cyntya), and Kelly (Brittany); six grandchildren: Emelia, Fay, Ben, Matthew, Kaysen, and Riley; and a first wife, Lorna Kingston. Fond brother of Joan Spooner, the late Colleen Gallagher, the late John Kingston, and Diane Neshcov, and devoted uncle to numerous nieces and nephews. He served as an emergency physician at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills, CA, for 45 years and as the chair for the Ethics Committee for 15 years. He transitioned into the Medical Director for the Saddleback Wound Care Center during the last 10 years of his medical career. He was known as a teacher and mentor to his colleagues and co-workers. One of his greatest adventures was a four-month sabbatical he took to India and Nepal with his dear friend, Danny. The family extends deepest thanks to the caregivers in the transitional care center, the Pacific Neuro Institute, Dr. Sonka Mara, Dr. Sivakumar, Dr. Komatsu, Rehab without Walls, and the Advocate Hospice Team and Visiting Angels caregiver, Leo for their empathy, expertise and quality of care provided.
