With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Father Waclaw Zaranko, at the age of 89 years, on Saturday, August 5, 2023. He was the beloved husband of Edwarda Zaranko, married for 60 years, and the cherished father of two sons, Edward and Henry and daughter Danuta. His grandchildren Daniella and Darius Farara, Alekzander Zaranko, and the late Tim Zaranko were the apple of his eye, and his love for them knew no bounds.

Waclaw was a kind and giving soul. His loving and supportive nature enriched the lives of all who knew him. He found his greatest joy in spending quality time with family and friends, always there to offer a helping hand, warm embrace or a comforting word. He was a man who never sat still. If there was something to fix, he would fix it. If there was somebody that needed help, he would go help them. If there was something missing, he would find it. If there was someone in distress, he would go comfort them.

Waclaw is also survived by his beloved wife Edwarda and sister Kasia. He was predeceased by his dear brother Alfred and sister Marisia.

Visitation will be held at Turner and Porter Yorke Chapel at 2357 Bloor Street West, Toronto on Thursday, August 10 from 7 to 9 pm. Funeral Service will be held on Friday, August 11, at 10 am at St. Casimir’s Church, 156 Roncesvalles Avenue, followed by interment at Laurel Hill Cemetery at 389 Centennial Drive, Bolton.

In lieu of flowers, donations are appreciated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
