Leslie Olejarz died peacefully with his family by his side on June 28, 2025. Les is survived by his wife, his children Katherine (Adam), Paul (Prima) and Jennifer (Victor). He is the cherished dziadzia of Nathan, Lauren, Meghan and Charlotte. He also leaves behind much loved family and friends.
Les was born in England and immigrated to Canada as a young child. He was very artistic, with an unmatched ear for music and could play many instruments. Later in life he took to singing in a choir and joined a photography club, which brought him joy. He was also a big sports fan and always held an opinion on the performance of his favorite teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Blue Jays.
He will be remembered always for his love of song and encouraging words. You could count on him to tell you to believe in yourself and follow your own path.
