Dale Anthony Herceg

It is with overwhelming grief that our family announces the passing of our wonderful husband, father, and grandfather on Friday March 1, 2019. An exceptional gentleman taken from us far too early, he leaves his soulmate of over 40 years Sheila, sons Alex (Silvia), Marc (Sarah) and Ryan, grandchildren Connor, Declan, and Isabel, as well as the Delaney clan. He was called to the bar in 1979 and was in private practice for many years. Late in his career, he found his dream job in the new claims unit at LAWPRO. His moral and ethics in law were beyond reproach, and he lived his life with the same profound integrity. His generosity was unequalled; always available to talk or listen, or by carrying a pocket full of change in the event he met someone in need. He involved himself within the community as the leader of the Cub Scouts. He had a keen sense of humour, was a gifted storyteller, and always was the life of the party. He also enjoyed the outdoors, whether it was fishing, canoeing, or sitting by the fire. He shared these experiences with his sons and nephews, often at Warren’s cottage on Big Gull Lake. He built furniture, loved wood working, cooking, gardening, and was a sports car enthusiast.

Special thanks to the nurses and doctors at North York General, especially the staff on 5 West and the ICU staff at Michael Garron Hospital. Visitation will be held at the R.S. Kane Funeral Home, 6150 Yonge St, Toronto, on Thursday March 7th from 6-8 p.m. and Friday March 8th from 6-8 p.m. We ask you to join us in celebration of this wonderful man on Saturday March 9th at 11 a.m. at Blessed Sacrament Church, 24 Cheritan Ave, Toronto . Interment at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Scott Mission or Diabetes Canada.
