Kasmir Hercun

Obituaries — 17 August 2010

After a brief illness at the age of 84, Kasmir Hercun passed away peacefully on August 8, 2010 at the Dryden Regional Health Centre.

He leaves to mourn his wife of 57 years Ellenor; children Len (Joanne), Tom, Kathy (Frank), Gerry (Laurie), Lisa (Dennis); 10 grandchildren Sean (Andrea), Tania (Alex), Adriana, Alexander, Cory (Erin), Jordan (Sara), Graham, Ryan (Shanna), Justin, Tyler. Five great grandchildren; Adam, William, Benjamin, Emily and Kasmir; brothers Walter (Jenny), Vic (Rose) and sister Anne (Jerry); sisters-in-law Joyce (Ed), Dot (Mike); and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Frank and Anna; his parents-in-law Eliza and George; brother Merrion; sister-in-law Vangie; brothers-in-law Ron and Ben.

Kasmir was employed by the paper mill and had many years of retirement in which he enjoyed gardening, fishing, camping playing cards, sports, watching TV (King of the remote), spending time with friends, and most important in his life was family. He loved visiting with relatives and hosting many family get-togethers. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren and never missed an opportunity to spend time with them.

Words cannot express how thankful we are for the love, support, visits, and sharing of memories. It was an incredible comfort to us having such wonderful family and friends.

The service was held August 11, 2010 at St. Josephs Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Tamarack House or Dryden Regional Health Centre through the Dryden Community Funeral Home, 249 Grand Trunk Ave. Dryden, ON P8N 2X3.

It’s difficult to say goodbye. We love you always until we meet again.
