It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Simon Abecassis on Friday, August 23rd, 2024 at the age of 84. Simon was at peace in his final hours and thankful for his life filled with many blessings and loved ones. He was predeceased by his loving wife Barbara of 42 years and younger sister Sylvia. He is survived by his children, Beth and David, grandchildren Matthew and Katelyn, sister Viviane and family, partner Elaine and family and the family of his late wife Barbara Abecassis (nee Yegendorf).
He was an exceptionally warm, loving and generous man who placed the needs of others ahead of his own, especially his family. His ability to maintain a positive and constructive attitude, even in the most difficult of times, never seized to amaze those around him. During the final months of his life, Simon received exceptional care from the Sunnybrook hospital staff for which he was, and we are, eternally grateful.
