Percy Posternak - Steeles Memorial Chapel

Sadly, our sweet Percy Posternak passed away last night at McKenzie Health Palliative
Care Unit. He amazed himself by reaching over 100 and a half years old.
Devoted husband of the late Rosalie. Very proud, beloved and adorable father of his
four daughters (Tina, Judy, Leiba, and the late Ferne) and their spouses.
He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren and the greats.
Loving big brother of Zelda in Israel.
Percy enjoyed the friendships he made in the past six years at Amica Thornhill.
Everybody knew he loved to dance. He was pretty good at the billiard table too!
Percy had over 15,000 Scotch pine trees planted in the Eastern Townships (Quebec)
over fifty years ago which have grown into beautiful forests.
He was a nature lover and happy to contribute to a natural environment.
Thank you to Dr. Roy Blachowitz, Dr. Michael Kogan, Amica staff and Dr. Habib, and PSWs.
A quiet, gentle man who will be dearly missed by many.
Pleasant dreams, Daddy.
We’ll love you forever!

I didn't personally know Percy but felt like I did through his daughter Judy. Judy and I have become very close over last few years. I have never met Judy in person we only talk on the phone and through emails. But, I am thankful that we were brought together by chance. I know Percy had to have been a remarkable human being because Judy is. I know that he will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you Judy and your family.

Judy, Sam, Adam, Danny, Bram, Our deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved father and grandfather. Although we were only fortunate to know him for the last 10 years he will be forever loved. He was a world of knowledge and he was my Alexa! He loved that I believe every word he said to me even if he was pulling my leg and I didn’t even know. He always had a quick wit and come back in every conversation. The world has lost a beautiful man but he will be forever in our hearts.

The family and Canada as a nation lost a beautiful man with many amazing gifts. It was his zest for doing your best at whatever it was I will remember the most. Could be nature, swimming, billiards, scrabble. I man for all seasons you might say. Albeit brief, grateful to have enjoyed time with him and Rosalie.

Dear Judy, I'm saddened to learn of the passing of your precious Dad, a month ago. I had no idea as I would not have waited this long to send condolences. You were a very devoted daughter who took wonderful care of him and likely explains why he lived to such a wonderful age as he did. Both Michael and myself send our deepest condolences.
