<div itemprop="description">It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Andrew John Becker on Sunday, August 2, 2015 at the age of 80. He leaves behind his loving wife Clelia of 47 wonderful years of marriage. Proud father to Alexandra (James Sielaff) and Monica Anne (William McKee). Adored grandfather to Zofia Sielaff. Dear brother to Mary Wiseman. Family, friends and colleagues will remember him with great fondness. Dr. Becker will also be remembered as a pioneer in the world of science. His early work helped identify stem cells and his later work on viral morphogenesis was seminal to the development of recombinant DNA technology, tools which may be indispensable to diagnose and treat many diseases. Visitation will be held on Monday, August 10th from 5-8 p.m. and on Tuesday, August 11th from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. followed by a Chapel Service at 1:30 p.m. at the Mount Pleasant Visitation Centre (375 Mount Pleasant Road, Toronto).
