It is with profound sadness that the family of Ion Gheorghe announce his passing on 4th of March at the age of 74 years.

He will be lovingly missed and remembered by his sons’ Andrei (Jovana) and Alexandru (Lisa); grandchildren Sophia, Valentina, Olivia, and Lila. Dearest childhood friends Laurentiu (Doina) Popescu, George (Maria) Nuta. Loving neighbours Terry and Sonica, and his extended family in Bucharest, Romania.

Ion was born in Bucharest, Romania, on January 5th, 1949 where he served for the Romanian military. After the birth of his first son he moved and lived in France with his young family before immigrating to Toronto, Canada in 1984, where he worked and excelled as an electrical engineer. Entrepreneur and inventor, Ion spent most of his life developing softwares and creating prototypes for the automotive manufacturing industry. After his retirement Ion dedicated his free time vacationing around the world, as he had an exuberant appetite for new adventure. Whether he was reading Agatha Christie, listening to Michel Sardou with a glass of port or watching his all time favourite French comedian Louis de Funes. Ion always lived life to the fullest. His cheerful demeanour was contagious, as he loved to laugh and bring joy to others.

Ions family would like to offer their heartfelt thanks to the entire staff at Credit Valley Hospital - Oncology department, and Palliative Care team who took great care of him.
