FARKAS, Marci (Martin) - February 22, 1937 - December 27, 2021
Following a brief illness, Mr. Marci (Martin) Farkas passed away in his 84th year at the Sunnybrook Palliative Care Unit, Toronto.
Mr. Farkas was the son of Denes Farkas and Juliana (Gothard) Farkas, born in Timosara, Romania.
Mr. Farkas relocated to Canada in 1964, where he began work at a smelter in Sudbury.
Marci was a devoted worker, putting forward his best efforts in his life once he arrived in Canada as an immigrant.
He was the longtime and loving companion to Suzanna Oroszy Kolev.
Marci was the stepfather of Suzanne Rogers (Edward) of Toronto, and father of Dorothy (Dorrie) Cyr (Lance) of Whistler, British Columbia.
He was a very loving, involved, and doting grandfather to Chloe, Edward Jr., Jack, and Kai. Marci operated a restaurant and delicatessen in St. Thomas, Ontario for many years, and resided for most of his life in London, Ontario.
During his 20s, Marci was a professional boxer in Romania.
A cultured man, he enjoyed music and artwork; he spoke five languages and enjoyed speaking them all - a skill put to good use with his love of travel.
Marci liked to watch a rousing boxing match on television and found fishing as a good way to relax. Marci was a man full of character, who always spoke his mind - he would often regale people with interesting anecdotes and stories from his life well-lived.
A Memorial Service will occur at a later date.
