It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father Theodore (Ted) Toufanidis on September 3, 2020 at 58 years of age.

Left to cherish his memory is loving daughter Victoria and son Nicholas; and former wife Patty; along with many aunts, uncles and cousins across North America and Greece. He was predeceased by his parents Nick and Voula, and brother Jimmy.

Ted was born May 15, 1962 in Winnipeg, MB. Growing up in River Heights his parents worked extremely hard to give him and his brother a better life than what they had. This is where he developed many life long friendships that he cherished deeply. He loved sports whether it was watching them or playing them, hockey in particular. Ted also enjoyed spending his time reading and learning about business and world issues. Ted was gifted with a brilliant mind and a big heart, with this he would kindly share his knowledge and help close peers. He obtained a bachelor degree at University of Manitoba, leading him to McGill University to accomplish receiving a master’s degree.

He loved spending time with his children and attending their recreational activities. He would support them in everything that they did. Although he was fighting to overcome obstacles in life, Ted was known for his high intelligence and nice guy nature that touched many people.

Funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 12 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 2255 Grant Ave. Interment to follow at Waverley Memorial Gardens.

“We cherish our memories of you, Rest in Peace Dad. Always loved, forever missed, never forgotten.”

    In violent times
    You shouldn’t have to sell your soul
    In black and white
    They really really ought to know
    Those one-track minds
    That took you for a working boy
    Kiss them goodbye
    You shouldn’t have to jump for joy
    You shouldn’t have to jump for joy

    Let it all out
    ΑΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ
