It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Vallinakis on March 10, 2018, at the age of 81.
Father of Nicolas (Kimberley Rumbolt), grandfather of Sarah, Anna and Michael, brother of Basile and spouse (separated) of Virginia (née Hadziandreou).
A mechanical engineer by profession, he had an innate understanding of science and mathematics that he shared early-on with students that he tutored and then later with his son.
In equal turns mourning his life's lost potential and then marveling at his tenacity in the face of decades-long debilitating health issues, the many loving friends and family members he leaves behind cannot help but be inspired by his grit.
Funeral services will be held in the Chapel of the Centre Funéraire Côtes-des-Neiges at 10h, the family will receive your condolences starting at 9h45 in the Chapel.
