Paul Roditis, 98, of Toronto, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 22, 2025, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of resilience, music, and faith. Born in Athens, Greece. Paul lived through the trials of World War II and later served as a Sergeant in a tank division with courage and determination.

Paul and his wife Rosa immigrated to Canada in 1965. Together, they built a life until her passing in 2022. A skilled mechanic and transmission specialist by trade, Paul’s hands were as adept at fixing engines as they were at bringing music to life. A passionate music lover, he played the guitar, accordion, and harmonica with skill and joy, and in his later years, he taught himself to play the piano at the retirement home, delighting fellow residents with his melodies.

Paul was a devoted member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church for over 40 years, where he volunteered tirelessly and found strength in his faith. His warm spirit and generous nature touched everyone he met, from his family to his community.

He is survived by his children, Jim (Kim) Roditis and Maria (Darwin) Ortiz, his granddaughter, Christine (Mike) Roditis and his great-grandchild, Tristan Ladewig, all of whom will carry his memory forward. Paul was preceded in death by his wife, Rosa, and leaves behind a lifetime of stories, songs, and love.

Paul's life serves as an inspiration to all who knew him. He lived with purpose, laughter, and music, and he will be deeply missed.

Paul’s music may have quieted, but its echo will resonate in the hearts of all who knew him.

May his memory be eternal.

Visitation will be held at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 30 Thorncliffe Park Drive East, East York on Wednesday March 26th, 2025 from 10 to 11 a.m. - Service at 11 a.m. Burial to follow at Pine Hills Cemetery, 625 Birchmount Road, Scarborough - Section 13.
