It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of our father Morris Barcan at 92 years old. Predeceased by his wife of 59 years , his beloved partner Ginette. Loving father to Ralph (Louise Legros) and to Isaac Barcan.  Dedicated Grandfather to Sophie,  Brother to Bracha Chaya Katzenberg (predeceased ) and Uncle to Racheli, Ziva & Dina Tova Katzenberg. Morris will always be known for his unbridled enthusiasm, optimism and sense of humour.    Growing up in Cairo Egypt, then moving to Ein Kerem, Israel, Montreal, Canada  and Hallandale Florida, Morris showed us how to overcome challenges and enjoy life with his positive attitude and kindness to all. Fluent in 4 languages, he was a great ideologist, preferring to learn and teach as the world had so much to offer.    The last seven years have been particularly difficult for Morris as he was staying at the Toronto Grace Hospital Care Centre, where he continued to grace our presence with his charm and wit despite his declining health.  We are grateful for the care and support he received from the staff at TGHCC. Especially thanking Ioana Juneja for her selfless loyalty as his caregiver during these years. Morris, you will remain in our hearts forever and always be remembered for your endless amount of positive energy. overwhelming warmth, devotion,  and dedication to your family.
