STEPINSKI, Andrzej —

Died peacefully, at the age of 82, surrounded by family, on Sunday, February 7, 2016 following a two-year battle with bone marrow cancer. He leaves his wife of 38 years, Teresa (Pierzchala) Stepinski; his son Ireneusz Stepinski (Malgorzata Stepinska); his son Robert Stepinski (Sarah Leon); his grandchildren Magda, Ella and Theo; his niece Anna Stepinska, as well as many family friends. He is predeceased by his brother Ryszard and his nephew Andrzej. Born in the small town of Wielun, Poland in 1933, he lived his childhood during the Second World War. He went on to finish a law degree before embarking on a long career with MetalExport Poland that saw him raise his son in places like Karachi and New Delhi.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Terry Kwan and his team at Trillium Health Centre for providing excellent and compassionate care during his illness, as well as Dr. Lenus Louis for his continued support throughout. Friends may call at Turner & Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas St. W., Etobicoke (between Kipling and Islington Aves.) on Wednesday, February 10, 2016 from 6-8 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held at All Saints Roman Catholic Church, at 1415 Royal York Rd., on February 11, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. Online condolences may be made at www.turnerporter.ca
