Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryRUSSELL GORDON KOBZISTY July 6, 1954 - February 27, 2008 With heavy hearts, we sadly announce the sudden passing of our beloved loving husband, father and grandfather at the Health Sciences Centre on February 27, 2008. He leaves to mourn his passing his loving wife Joanne, daughter Victoria, sons Kevin (Jessica) and Gordon; granddaughter Vada Spence, sisters Wendy (Roland), Cindy (Frank), Sandra, brothers Guy (Cindy) and Kenny (Linda), along with numerous nieces and nephews.

He had a great sense of humour which always caused you to smile. He will be greatly missed by his family and those he touched dearly in his lifetime. Our family would like to extend our thanks to the Health Sciences Centre for all efforts. A time of visitation will be held on Sunday, March 2 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street.

Missing you today and been thinking lots about you. How you would have loved all our grandkids and what you and them are missing since you left us. - Posted by: Joanne (Wife) on: Mar 25, 2025

Well dad, I have accomplished so much since the last time I wrote on here. I graduated school, got my license and got my life together. I wish you could have been there in person at my graduation, mom said you would have been so proud of me. 13 years of you being gone hasn't gotten easier at all, I've learnt how to somewhat cope with your loss. Hey! You gained another son, congratulations. I decided on the name Leland because that's where you and mom met so it has special meaning to me. I miss you a lot and I love you dad. I hope I've made you proud. - Posted by: Leland Kobzisty (Child) on: May 22, 2021

Your birthday was a couple of days ago you would have been 62 almost ready to retire. As if you would. I miss you and wish that you were here. You missed seeing your first grandson Jacob and we have another granddaughter her name is Avayah. You would have been so happy and would be spoiling our grandson. taking him fishing driving him around and of course buying him whatever he wanted and telling him that it was me just like you used to do with Vada. Vada misses you too. When I do talk to her she asks me some questions and I answer her telling her that you loved her very much and will always be there looking after her. we miss you and love you - Posted by: joanne (wife) on: Jul 08, 2016

Love you and miss you Papa. Miss the things we used to do together like waiting for Granny to get off work and we would pick her up and go out for lunch. You always took me for car rides to look at trains cause I liked trains. LOVE YOU PAPA - Posted by: Vada Clare Heaven-Lee Spence (Granddaughter) on: Jul 06, 2015

It's almost your birthday once again dad, another year without you. Everyone says it gets easier as time passes but it doesn't, it's like a dream a person wants to wake up out of and be glad that you're there. I miss you pops <3 - Posted by: Vicky (Daughter) on: Jun 26, 2015

Happy Father's Day dad, I miss you so much. I knew we always butted heads cause mom said we were too much a like and I wish I could take back all the bad things I've said to you. I know it's too late now, I miss your laugh, the way you'd joke with my friends and it kills me to not have you come to the most important day in my life. You would have loved teasing my future wife. I try to keep you a live in my thoughts, and stories I tell her but I forgot what your voice sounds like. I love you dad and always will. - Posted by: Victoria (Daughter) on: Jun 16, 2013

It's been almost 4 years dad and I still think of you. I miss you so much and wish I could hear your voice just once more time, hear the jokes, just sit to have coffee with you. I never thought I'd miss anyone so much in all my life. You helped give me life, as much as we had our moments I still love you because you are always going to be my daddy and a little girl no matter what age will always need him. When I feel alone and want to talk to you, every time I see a blue sky I sit alone and have a moment. I know you're not here physically but in my heart, memories and everything around me reminds me of you. I miss you and love you daddy and wish things could have been better between us. Always your baby girl will need you - Posted by: Victoria (Daughter ) on: Jan 26, 2012
