Alexander Wasil Obituary

Alexander (Al) Wasil, 84 years old, was born June 20, 1936 and passed away suddenly of digestive complications on Saturday, June 12th, 2021. He lived a long and healthy life devoted to helping and relieving the pain, illness and numerous ailments of others, touching many lives and families in the process. Born in Akron, Al lived in the area for most of his life. He served 10 years of distinguished service in the U.S. Army and retired from the United Association Local #219 as a welder. He was an entrepreneur, but his true life's passion, for the better part of 60 years, was the Chinese Martial Arts in Shoalin Kung Fu as well as Chinese Medicines, including herbs and acupuncture, and holistic homeopathic medicine serving greater NE Ohio with those methodologies for the majority of his life. His passion was driven by honor to his teacher, master and beloved friend, Grandmaster Feeman Ong. He is preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy, four sisters and six brothers. Al is survived by his daughter, Wendy Wasil of Coventry; sons, Todd Wasil of Parma, Charles Wasil of Gaithersburg, MD and James Wasil of Arizona; brother, Raymond Wasil; sister, Ann Wasil-Lesniak and the many members of his Wing Sing Family* and the Kwan Ying Do System.

Master Wasil, you are not someone, anyone can easily forget, a great teacher of Kwan Ying Do, you honored Grand Master Ong in life as is the way of the Art and training. You once told me the best friends you will make will be the friends you met in the Art, you were right. I am so sorry to just now hear of your passing, May Heaven hold beautiful reunions and peace for, until I see you again on the other side. God Bless you...

Al was a care giving, loyal, and an independent thinker. His passion and passion for the art of Shaolin guided his life and helped the people in his classes. Rest on peace, Al

Master Alex Wasil was one of the best Chinese Martial Arts instructors. It was my privilege to know him for over 30 years. He will be missed by the Kwan Ying Do student family. He will live on in the techniques he taught and handed down.
