It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved VANGELO DERLIS at the age of 85. Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle, and Friend, Van enjoyed working in his gardens and spending quality time with family. He was loved and respected by many, and he will be forever remembered deep within our heavy hearts.

Van was preceded in death by his parents Vane and Lika, and by his brother Trayan. He is survived by his wife of 58 years Mary; sister Vicky (Danny); sister-in-law Dorothy; children Nick (Diane), John (Charlene) and Kathy (Andy); grandchildren Gryphon, Taylor, Jacob and Jessica.

People wishing to honor Van’s lifelong commitment to family and community can make donations to the Alzheimer Society of Simcoe County
