As a new teacher to North Surrey, Attila was always around to give helpful advice and make us newbies smile. He had a passion for teaching that was infectious and his smile made everybody happy. Students would look at their schedules and become ecstatic seeing his name next to their class. Attila, you were an inspiration and I hope I can one day be in the same class as you when it comes to teaching. You will be missed friend.

Csiszar csalad,
My deepest condolences to the entire family. I have an abundance of fond memories over the many, many yearsyears our families have known each other. May you all find peace and comfort through this difficult time. God bless. Iren (Hugi)

My condolences to Attila's family. I have not seen Attila since teaching with him in the 1970s but he has always been with me, his smile, his sense of fun, his enthusiasm. Sunday night floor hockey would never have been the same without him.

So sorry to hear about Attila's passing. I have fond memories of him from PM, CISC, and Fleetwood Park. His passion for teaching was contagious. He will be missed.

Csiszar family,

Our paths crossed at first at U.B.C at Teacher Education and many more time in Surrey Schools. I will miss him very much. A great teacher.
Deepest condolences.

Roger and Pat Oura.

A great teacher who inspired my curiosity for calculus. He will be very much missed.

Always had a smike on his face..a cheery word and a positive out look. If you needed a hand, he was there to help..blessings to the family

I had him for Grade 11 and 12 math at QE.
He was a good teacher, very patient.

I remember Mr Csiszar as a very, very patient math instructor with a great smile. The probability of me making it through the Probability and Statistics course at QE would be significantly lower if it weren't for him. He was able to work with me as a kinesthetic learner - not an easy task, unfortunately. I'm sorry for your loss.

I got to know Attila during my first year of teaching at NSS, and we would sit and have lunch together in the math prep room. He was passionate and encouraging, and had so much knowledge and advice to share. I feel honored to have known him, and to have had the privilege of spending that time learning from him. I will never forget his smile, or his love for apple strudels. Never have I gained so much respect for someone in such a short amount of time. The quote "knowledge will give you power, but character respect" comes to mind...Attila, a man of such power, character and respect, you will be missed.

I will always remember Attila's big smile, generosity and kindness. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Will miss this wonderful man, he was a great asset to our schools both at Fleetwood Park and North Surrey Secondary where I taught with him. Much love Attila!

I was shocked, as most people were in our district, when we heard the news. He was such a huge instrumental and inspiring person when I began my teaching career back in 1997. He was the driving force as our Math Helping Teacher for Surrey District before he retired. He was intelligent, he was bold and fearless. I have an enormous gratitude to Attila Csiszar for all the advice and help that I received over the years. I will miss him dearly.

What a fine gentleman and a credit to the teaching profession. "Attila the Huney" will be missed by so many of us.

My name is Marie Mandoli. My husband Peter Mandoli who was also a Math teacher and school administrator in Surrey, often spoke of Attila. I do believe that when Peter was at Newton Junior, we came to a party at your home. Peter passed away in 2008, but I know he would want his family to let your family know how very sorry we are for your loss and that it was a sincere pleasure and honour to have known Attila.

I'm sure that I would have understood Calculus if Attila was my teacher. We worked together at Princess Margaret, and I will always remember his great sense of humour.

What a life force you were! I am shocked and I am deeply saddened to know you will no longer be sharing your laughter, your intelligence, your energy and clear-minded view of the world. You were a treasure and I enjoyed every moment I worked with you and every conversation we had. I will miss you.

Such an amazing man! Not only did he teach math, he showed students how to be kind, thoughtful, generous, and hard working. It was a priviledge knowing you.

So sorry for your loss Peter...sincere condolences from Local 300

I am at such a loss. My colleague, my mentor, my friend, you will be missed so very much. I will never forget you and will forever hold you in my heart. If I could've ever picked a dad,it would have been you.

Attila was a tireless contributor to mathematics education in Surrey. I enjoyed the time I spent with him both professionally an socially . He was a great golf partner - never hesitant to share his thoughts an opinions. Heartfelt condolences to family.

Attila is one of the reasons why I became a teacher. He was my Math 12 and Calculus teacher and he just had a way of explaining things perfectly. Everything was so clear; I never took a page of notes in either course. As a new teacher I hope to one day be as great as he was. Thank you Mr. Csiszar!

It was such an honour to have known and job shared with Attila. He was appreciated, admired and will remain forever in the memory of all who knew him. I give my condolences to the entire family.

Billy Myles and myself were greatly honored to have known him. He was always such a generous host whenever he would entertain us in his home. We are so very sorry for this loss. He is in our prayers. ~ Shannon Johnstone-Lunot

Mr. Csiszar taught me Math at Queen Elizabeth in Surrey, in 1991-1992. He was my favourite teacher because he was so funny. My thoughts are with his friends and family.

I've met few people with Attila's infectious enthusiasm for mathematics.He's left a wonderful teaching legacy.

I had the pleasure of working with Attila at SD36 and always enjoyed his sense of humour. His wife and family were his world - my deepest condolences.

Attila will be remembered by students and staff at Invergarry Adult Education Centre in Surrey where he helped many students achieve post secondary qualifications. He will be missed for his expertise, his humour and his kind and caring manner.

Attila was a mentor and a good friend to me. I will miss him.
Through his teaching and leadership, Attila had a huge impact on the mathematical education of students in all of Surrey.
My condolences to Ibolya and family.
