Surrounded by family, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joseph Baranyai on July 1, 2024 at the age of 93. Joseph was born in Budapest, Hungary in October 1931 and immigrated to Canada in 1957. He was a respected and skilled Master Tool and Dye Maker and worked as a machinist at the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant in Toronto for most of his life. Beloved husband to Elisabeth Baranyai. Loving father of George and John. Father-in-law to Wolete, Birgit and Thao. Nagypapa to Matthew and Jenna. Predeceased by his siblings Sándor and György. Praised for his deep friendships, humour, love of music/singing, social consciousness and ability to fix almost anything, he will be greatly missed by family and friends.
