HAYES, Victor Passed away peacefully, at Hamilton General Hospital, on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 at the age of 70 years. Immensely loving and loved husband of Kathy Ullyott.
Devoted father of Thomas, Evelyn and Bobbe. Beloved brother of James (Irene Bujara), Diana Jensen, the late Christopher (Marlene Kane), Cora Strasky (Douglas), Sheilah Hayes and the late Kathleen Hayes. A former journalist, public relations practitioner and educator, Victor was treasured by many nieces and nephews, friends, colleagues, students and mentees for his limitless generosity, frank wisdom, courage and compassion.
His lightning sense of humour – by turns wicked, goofy, poignant, self-deprecating and incisive (and often all of these) – will be missed terribly by the wide circles who knew and loved Victor.
Funeral Service will be held at Trinity – St. Paul’s United Church, 427 Bloor Street West, Toronto on Friday, June 1, 2018 at 1 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to Turner & Porter “Neweduk-Erin Mills” Chapel, 905-828-8000.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Dr. Lorraine Kalia’s Research Fund at the Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family; please visit www.tgwhf.ca/tribute
