Edward John Istvan passed on peacefully on Thursday, October 31st, 2019, at 82 years old.
Edward is survived by his loving wife, Christa of over 57 years and his two sons, Stewart and Peter. Survived by his sister Anne Paulin (Raymond) and predeceased by his sister Mary Prischak (Mike). Uncle to Carol, Ray, John, Michael, and Linda. Many things brought Edward joy in his life, but nothing more than his grandchildren: Mark, Ian, Abby, Sasha, and Reid.
Edward was born in Toronto, shortly after his parents (Annie and John) immigrated to Canada from former Slovakia (now Czechoslovakia). Raised with the hard working and disciplined principles of his parents, he excelled at his personal, athletic, and academic pursuits. Edward had an exceptional career as an Obstetrician and Gynecologist, providing expert and compassionate care to his patients, and delivering literally thousands of babies at several Toronto area hospitals. Following “retirement”, Edward continued to provide his expertise by assisting in orthopedic surgeries. When he did not have a baby or medical tool in his hands, Edward could be found with a camera, fishing rod, a book, or a nice glass of Remy Martin.
A celebration of Edward’s life will be held at the Old Mill, on Sunday, November 17th, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. At 2:00 pm, a few stories and memories of Edward will be shared. Address is 21 Old Mill Road, Toronto, Ontario M8X 1G5.
For friends local to Parry Sound, Peter and Kathleen will be hosting a “Tea with Chrissie” on Saturday, November 9th, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, at 11 Belvedere Avenue.
Edward was very generous and in lieu of flowers, and only if you desire, please make a donation to the charity of your choice, in memory of Edward’s giving nature.
