GEORGE CHANYI
1946 -2021
George Chanyi of Eden, Ontario passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, December 20, 2021, in his 76th year. George is survived by his loving wife Linda. He was the proudest of fathers to their son Travis, his wife Melinda, and their children Jarett and Alivia; to their daughter Rebecca, her husband Joe Bouma, and their children Makenna, Joel, and Easton. Dear brother to Roseann (John) Histed. Dear brother–in–law to Loreen Chanyi (late Vince), Kathe (Jack) Dertinger, Alex (Barb) More. He was enjoyed by all of his cousins, nieces and nephews. George was predeceased by his brother Vince, his parents Vincent and Ann Chanyi, and his parents-in-law Jolan and Alex More.
George and Linda had a wonderful life together with their cherished children and grandchildren, their families, friends, neighbours, and all the interesting people they met along the way.
George was a member of the Kinsmen Club of Delhi, the Delhi Hunt Club, the King Hiram Masonic Lodge #78 of Tillsonburg, The Gentlemen’s Lunch group, and The Coffee group. He will be missed.
Some people knew George as a farmer, some knew him as an autoworker, a hunter, a fisherman, a boater, a boat builder, or a carpenter; but everyone knew him as a Master Storyteller.
A private family service will be held. A Celebration of Life will be held for family and friends at a later date. Donations in George’s memory may be made to Helping Hand Food Bank in Tillsonburg or The Salvation Army in Tillsonburg by following directions on George’s tribute page or by contacting Ostrander’s Funeral Home, (519-842-5221) who have been entrusted with the arrangements.
