Michael Sisak Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 1 to Nov. 2, 2016.
Michael Sisak 1926-2016 It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our husband and father Michael (Mike) Sisak at the age of 89 years old in Thornhill, Ontario on October 27, 2016. Michael leaves behind his loving wife of 63 years Desi (nee Sarcevich), sons Mitchell (Josée) and David (Cristina), sisters Anne, Mary and Susan, sisters-in-law Helen and Theresa. Loving grandfather to Jérôme (Geneviève) and great grandfather to Annabelle and Émilie. Uncle to nieces Cynthia, Carol-Anne, Maria, Lorraine and Kimberly, and nephews Robert, Michael, Jaime, Robbie, Christopher, Matthew, Stacey, Adrian and JJ.

Friends and family may pay their respects at the Vescio Funeral Home, 8101 Weston Rd., Woodbridge, ON (. Viewing will take place on Sunday November 6, 2016 between 1 and 5 pm and from 7 to 9 pm. On Monday, November 7, a viewing and service will take place from 10- noon www.vesciofuneralhome.com).

Michael was a man who gave completely of himself to everyone in need, yet he somehow managed to make every person whose life he touched feel that they benefited from his entire attention. A rare man who quietly and consistently did the right thing his entire life, consciously avoiding the limelight, never seeking recognition or accolades. A great man who will be profoundly missed, he truly made the world a better place for those he touched: family, friends or even complete strangers.

Thank you to the nurses and staff at McKenzie health N3 for treating Michael with great gentleness, respect and love during his time there. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Parkinson Canada or the Michel J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

Our deepest sympathies to Desi, David, Mitchell and all of Mike's family. Mike was indeed a good man; it wasn't necessary to be in his presence often to know this. Your memories of him will bring you comfort and joy forever.

Thinking of you,

Anna, Karen and Bryan Halliday and family.

My deepest sympathies to all of you, auntie Desi, Mitchell, Josee, David, Cristina, Jerome and Genevieve. I'll always have wonderful memories of what a great person uncle Mike was. I remember when I was a kid, I always thought he looked like the coolest, most suave movie star! He will be truly missed. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
