ION PASE
Born in Romania in 1934, he was the oldest of 10 children. After completing three years of aviation school, he changed his profession to become an accountant. He moved to Canada in 1994 to help raise his grandchildren.
He had a passion for reading, dancing, fishing, completing crosswords and telling stories. He was known and appreciated for his humour, his optimistic outlook on life and his iconic dance moves. He was the life of the party and he lived his life as such. He enjoyed travelling with his family and keeping up with Romanian politics.
He was a proud husband, father, grandfather and a respected member of the Romanian community in Winnipeg.
He leaves behind his wife of 60 years, Irina; his daughters, Daniela and Alina; his son-in-law Constantin; and the joys of his life, his two grandchildren, Alex and Ana. He lived a full life, in a full house, teaching his grandchildren Romanian and the importance of hard work and education.
Prayers will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 27, at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. Funeral Service will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, October 28. at St. Demetrios Romanian Orthodox Church, 103 Furby Street.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ion's memory to Salvation Army.
