In loving memory of
Elwy Mohamed El-Gazzar
September 16, 1943 - March 9, 2021
We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for the outpouring of love and prayer that we have received over the last few days. Two sentiments have definitely resonated when it comes to describing our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. Kind and gentle.
Elwy, Pappy, Giddu was truly the kindest and gentlest soul.
He was a great role model to us all. He consistently showed love and devotion to his family and friends. He stood alongside members of his community whenever they needed his support. He dedicated himself to his career with limitless conviction. Through his determination for life, he found the motivation and perseverance to fight his illness with incredible strength over the years.
For those of you who had the opportunity of spending time with Elwy, you knew that his presence in a room created a sense of comfort and contentment for those around him. We were all able to reach out to him and seek that comfort when we needed it. We will miss this dearly.
Elwy believed in dedicating himself to helping others, especially those in need. To honour this, for anyone motivated to donate to a cause in his memory, please consider donations to Islamic Relief Canada or The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.
