He will be missed by his two sons Paul and Jason, his five grandchildren (Victoria, Owen, Samuel, Jason Jr, and Adam), his sister Carole, his nieces, nephews, and, his many friends he met and touched along the way.
As per his wishes, there will be no formal visitation, or funeral service. However, the family has decided that it would be fitting to have a gathering to celebrate his life.
This gathering and celebration will take place on Thursday, August 1st at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 11 located on Dawes Road, south of Danforth Avenue between the hours of 4 - 9pm.
If friends or relatives are unable to attend the celebration, the family suggests that donations to either the Ontario Lung Association, or Ontario Variety Village's children's foundation called "Variety" could be made in his honour.
