Obituary of JOHN BODNAR

JOHN GEORGE BODNAR

April 12, 1946 – September 17, 2017

Peacefully, on Sunday, September 17, 2017, John Bodnar, aged 71 years, passed away with his family by his side.

He was predeceased by his mother, Katherine; and his parents-in-law, William and Helen Fandych.  Leaving to mourn his passing are his loving wife of 42 years, Frances; his son Jonathan; his father Joseph; brother-in-law Allan; sister-in-law Norma and their family.

John was born on April 12, 1946 in Bari, Italy and came to Canada with his parents at a young age.

He worked as an electrician with CN Rail for 35 years and then worked another 12 years with Sobey’s IGA.

He was a quiet, gentle-mannered man with a good sense of humour who will always be remembered as a wonderful and loving husband, father and son.

We would like to thank the WRHA and their Home Care Staff for their care and compassion which allowed John to remain in his home during the past two years.

Divine Liturgy will be celebrated by Rev. Volodymyr Bashutskyy on Saturday, September 23, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. at Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church, 965 Boyd Avenue.  Interment will follow at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, BVM Church or a charity of your choice.
