It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear father, Barry (Baroch) Ben-Zvi, on Sunday, January 12, 2025 at Hospice Vaughan.
Loving husband of Rose-Marie; beloved father of Avy and Vivian; respected father-in-law of Stephanie and Jack; treasured Baba of Marcel, Tova, Makayla, and Kennedy; adored brother of Ben and Jacob.
Growing up in Israel, Barry proudly served in the navy for the Israel Defense Force. In Canada, Barry lived a life full of happiness, humour, joy and love. He was an avid golfer, bike rider, a huge Blue Jay fan, enjoyed spending time in Florida during the winter, and loved a good glass of red wine. He had a special place in his heart for dogs, especially Coco and Princess.
Special thanks to all of the nurses and doctors at Hospice Vaughan for all of the care and comfort they gave to our dad.
Barry truly lived for his family and grandchildren, and nothing meant more to him. He will live on in our hearts and will never be forgotten. He will be forever loved.
