Obituary of Mr. John Ursini
On September 15/22, John Peter Ursini peacefully past at the age of 96. He will be missed by his daughters Nancy Ursini-Brown and special son-in-law Jeff Brown, Tina Ursini (Owen) and granddaughters Catherine Allen (Trevor) and Sam Allen, as well his extended family and friends. He had also shared a close bond with his grandson, Carl Allen, previously deceased.
John Ursini was born in Toronto, Ontario on March 14/26, where he spent most of his early years. The oldest son of Antonio and Paolina Ursini, both from Italy, he had six siblings: Edith (Stan), Vic (Carl), Yola (Hill), Leonard (Jean), Lorraine (Tony), and Maurice (Bette and Louie) all previously deceased other than Jean and Bette. His large family blessed him with many nieces and nephews, most of whom had children who are now having their own children.
In 1955 John married Olga Skorup, his one true love. He never truly got over her passing in 2004. John and Olga spent most of their married life in Uxbridge where John opened a small plastic manufacturing plant on the lower level of their home. Although he had many opportunities to expand the business, he chose to keep it small. Growing a large corporation was never his priority, family was more important.
John and Olga were able to retire in the Bracebridge area, a place near and dear to John’s heart. When he was a young boy his family had opened Rainbow Valley Inn in the town of Bracebridge. It still runs today as Inn at the Falls. When Olga passed, John eventually moved in with Nancy and Jeff in Scarborough and then recently moved to Shepherd Village. It did not take long for the staff at The Village to bond with John and we thank them for all the loving care they gave him over these last eleven months.
Where ever John went, he touched the heart of those he met. He will be remembered for his love of tinkering and creating, his story telling, his strong faith, but most of all he will be remembered for his gentle soul and beautiful smile.
