HEITZMANN, Jakob April 2, 1925 – September 17, 2017 Our father, our Ota Jack, died in his sleep on Sunday at the Scarborough General Hospital. Born in Tscheb, Yugoslavia, he brought his family to Canada in 1954. Here he labored to build a new life and a future for his family, first in the garment industry and later as a caretaker for the Scarborough Board of Education. After retirement he devoted himself to caring for his wife Eva, who was stricken with Alzheimer’s. He leaves behind his daughter Anna, her husband Frank and his treasured grandchildren Susanne (Brian) and Peter (Sheila) and four wonderful great-grandchildren Katie, Alex, Oliver and Eva. A celebration of life service will take place on Monday September 25, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. at PINE HILLS FUNERAL CENTRE at 625 Birchmount Road. Reception to follow. Donations to the Alzheimer Society would be greatly appreciated.
