CALICH,
John (1928-2008)
John passed away on June 18th, peacefully and with his family
by his side, as a result of cancer and heart failure. Beloved
husband to Anita. Loving father to Norma (Bill), Mike (Adriane)
and Rick. Dear Grandpa to Joel, Dean, Marta, Hannah and Andrew.
John was a devoted family man who worked hard and lived simply,
with honesty and integrity. Throughout his life, John worked
with his hands. After many years in the sheet metal and air balance
industries, he dedicated himself to a career as a self-taught
craftsman and became renowned for his fine hand made briar pipes,
which are treasured by collectors throughout the world. John
will be remembered by those who knew him best, for his love of
family, his talent, modesty, independent spirit, and especially
his wry sense of humour. Telemarketers may now rest easier, knowing
that John will no longer be answering the phone. The family wishes
to most sincerely thank the many dedicated physicians, nurses
and others who have treated John, including most recently Drs.
BRADE,
WAN and Andrea
MOLCKOVSKY and the remarkable technicians
at Princess Margaret Hospital; Doctors
GUPTA, LE
FEUVRE,
SHARMA,
PATEL,
McISAAC,
KING,
TIU and
MURTHY at the Trillium Health Centre
and our longtime friend and family physician Doctor Bohdan
MOLCKOVSKY.
At John's request, there will be a cremation and private family
ceremony. In lieu of flowers, donations would be gratefully accepted
