In memory of

Edward Pawlak

December 12, 1942 - December 18, 2020

Edward “Ed” John Pawlak, 78 passed away December 18, 2020 at Trillium Hospital. He was born December 12, 1942 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, USA. Ed was the beloved husband and best friend of his one and only love, the late Gloria Maslen Pawlak, of Montreal, for 43 years. He was the dear son of Rose Pawlak (nee Palinowski) of West Virginia and Marion Pawlak of Poznan, Poland. He leaves behind his sister Mary Retalis of Fords, NJ. Beloved uncle of Tyler and Lindsay Maslen, Hailey Maslen, Travis Maslen, Tasha Maslen, Corey Maslen, Joseph and Rebecca Sasala, Ronald Sasala, Dennis P. Sasala and the late Darren Maslen. Brother-in-law of John Maslen, Henriette Racine and the late Glyn and Eileen Maslen, William Maslen, Peter Retalis and Dennis J. Sasala.

Ed retired as a systems analyst and project manager for the Royal Bank of Canada, where he went to "play" on computers. He had a great love for reading, classical music, chess, the Giants and Yankees. But, above all else, loved Gloria and their Shih Tzu, Frodo.

If so desired, the family would appreciate a catholic mass being ordered for Mr. Edward Pawlak at St. Martha and Mary Parish (1870 Burnhamthorpe Rd E, Mississauga, ON L4X 2S5 - (905) 625-5670)

I am filled with sadness to learn of Ed’s passing. Both he and Gloria were good friends to my parents Lenore and Bob. They weren’t just friends, they were family and will always be remembered and loved. Condolences to all family and friends as you remain in my thoughts and prayers during this sad and difficult time.

It is with great sadness that I have just learnt of Ed's passing but it is with much hope that I believe he is now in a much better place with Gloria by his side.
Sending much love to all.

Although he may have appeared gruff at first, Ed was a kind, caring and generous person. We had so many occasions to celebrate Holidays and events with both Gloria and Ed. They enjoyed their time together, especially after Ed's retirement. They are both sorely missed but we can take comfort in knowing they are reunited and enjoying the company of their doggo Frodo!
