TORONTO — Lifelong journalist, broadcaster, author and editor Robert Fulford was remembered Wednesday as a prolific writer whose vibrant intellect and insatiable curiosity inspired colleagues and younger writers alike.
Fulford’s son-in-law Stephen Marche said the former"Saturday Night" editor died Tuesday afternoon in Toronto surrounded by family. He was 92.
Former colleague and friend John Fraser said Fulford’s family protected his privacy as his health declined so that he would be remembered for his sharp mind and voracious intellectual appetite. A biography on Fulford’s website lists a broad array of passions including jazz, the visual arts, architecture, city planning, museums, archeology, literature, theatre, film and politics.
Fulford's books include the Expo '67 coffee table book “This Was Expo” and a 1968 collection of his columns, “Crisis at the Victory Burlesk: Culture, Politics and Other Diversions,” the 1974 collection “Marshall Delaney at the Movies: The Contemporary World as Seen on Film” and 1995’s “Accidental City: The Transformation of Toronto.”
"He was a great role model," she said, pointing to"his open mindedness and his capacity to change his mind, his willingness to learn" as defining traits. "He was able to take something that was right in front of people's faces and turn it upside down and make them ponder what it was that they were missing and what they should know more about. And to me, that made him a great journalist, one who really made people think and to dig deeper into stories."
