NOVAK, Janez (John)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Janez (John) on December 27, 2021, at the age of 84 years at Trillium Health Partners in Mississauga, Ontario. Born in Petkovec, Slovenia, on January 25, 1937, to the late Franc and Ivana (nee: Brencic). Reunited with his beloved wife of over 50 years, Anna Novak (2019). Cherished Father to John Novak (Sharon), Kathy Burhoe (Wayne) and Danny Mustar (Janice). Adored Grandad to Caitlin, Emily, Jacob, Jackson and Tia. Dear brother to Marija, Franciska, Slavka, the late Ivanka, the late Terizija, and the late Franc. He will be missed by many nieces, nephews and relatives in Slovenia. John retired from Chrysler Canada where he was dedicated worker and loyal employee for over 30 years. He was a long-time member of the Windsor Slovenian Cultural Club “Zvon”, and Slovenski Park in Cambridge, Ontario. He was devoted Catholic and a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish for many years. He was a hard-worker throughout his life, but made sure to enjoy road trips, playing bocce ball, gardening and making wine. Thank you to the doctors, and nurses at Trillium Health Partners and Dom Lipa in Toronto for their kindness, compassion and care.
