Waldemar PRUZANSKI Obituary

DR. WALDEMAR PRUZANSKI On Wednesday, September 9, 2020 at his home. Dr. Waldek (Waldemar) Pruzanski, beloved husband of Lily Alexander Pruzanski, and the late Vera Pruzanski. Loving father and father-in-law of Dr. Mark Pruzanski and Mara Kaplan, Corinne Pruzanski and Robert Halpern, Maggie and Ron Riley, and Kate and David Daniels. Devoted grandfather of Aden, Evie, Jasper, Maddy, Alek and David. Waldek was an esteemed physician, who devoted his life to research and medicine, helping everyone who called on him for his expertise and brilliance as a diagnostician. With close to 600 books, chapters, publications, chapters and abstracts, he remained a modest man who never wanted the spotlight. Waldek was a man of honour, dignity, culture and great intellect. He never stopped in his pursuit of knowledge, keeping up on the Economist and reading a biography of Stalin to his last days. He and Lily were a love story for the ages, and she was with him at his side, holding his hand every day. Their bond and commitment blended two families who love each other, support each other, and love spending time together. He will be dearly missed. A family graveside service was held on Thursday, September 10, 2020. Memorial donations may be made to The Waldek Pruzanski Memorial Fund c/o The Benjamin Foundation 416-780-0324 or at benjaminsparkmemorialchapel.ca

I only met Waldek on a few occasions; however, my memory of him is that of a very endearing and charming man. My deepest sympathy goes out to Lily and the entire family on the loss of their beloved Waldek. May his memory be a blessing to you.
