‘Though she often said she could only cook “frencha fries” when she first married, she quickly became an amazing cook, and her pizzas and calzones were legendary’
GRAZIELLA MONTEMURRO April 29, 1934 — May 12, 2021
She was a talented seamstress and soon found work in Toronto’s garment district. She married Ralph on Dec. 28, 1957, and devoted herself to family life and motherhood. Though she often said she could only cook “frencha fries” when she first married, she quickly became an amazing cook, and her pizzas and calzones were legendary. Graziella adored her family deeply. Her contagious laughter, love of Italian music, warm hospitality, jovial spirit, and strong faith will be greatly missed by all.
MICHAEL WILLIAM RUSSELL STONEHAM April 27, 1946 — April 27, 2021
He will be fondly remembered by many for his mentorship, friendship, coaching and guidance, for his willingness to lend a hand or engage in spirited debate or take part in some friendly competition. Mike fought a brave battle with cancer during this pandemic, but his battle was not a lonely one. Our family is profoundly grateful for those special people who ensured that Mike always had a friend to walk, cycle or debate with.
SUDARSAN BAGCHI Sept. 16, 1940 — April 19, 2021
Sudarsan was a passionate traveller, connoisseur of food and fine wines, and an avid fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. But what he loved most was having a nice time with his friends and family. He was always the life of the party and made lasting impressions on those he touched with his sense of humor and generosity. His wit and boldness will be shared and smiled upon in reflection amongst his lifelong friends.
