It is with great sadness that we announce that Hryhorij Zurawel passed away at St. Demetrius Ukrainian Care Center, Etobicoke on February 17, 2022.
He was the devoted father of Peter and his wife Olga and Anastasia and her husband Gerald Larson. Predeceased by his loving wife Maria, of sixty-three years and his son Nicholas. Grandfather to Kathryn (David), Laura (Adrian), John (Cathy), Caroline (Chad), Gregory, Nina and Oksana. Great grandfather to Owen, Maxwell, William, Taelyn and Evelyna.
Hryhorij will always be remembered for his kindness to all he knew. He was always happy to lend a helping hand to everyone. After immigrating to Canada, Hryhorij and Maria built their dream home in Caledon East where they enjoyed life, growing vegetables and raising chickens and rabbits on their farm. Family was Hryhorij’s highest priority in life and he spent his retirement years with them at family celebrations and special events. He was so proud of all his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
