PRIKOSOVICH, John - Peacefully, passed away at 92 years, on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
Loving husband to Theresa, whom he married in 1954 until her passing in 2007.
Proud and loving father to John (Rosemary) and Linda (Gary). Most beloved and sadly missed "Grandpa/Papa" to Christopher, Mark, Kelly (Neil), Brian, and Laura; and cherished great-grandchildren, Aleks, Finlay and Theo.
Devoted brother to Ilka, Gusti, and sister-in-law Mary (Joe). Loving uncle and a friend to many.
Born in 1931 in Kroatisch Minihof, Austria, he came to Canada in 1951 for a better life and future. Three years later he supported his brother, Gusti and future wife, Theresa, to join him.
John will be remembered for the friendship, generosity and help he gave to newly immigrated fellow Austrians and many others over his lifetime. John was very proud of his Austrian and Croatian heritage.
He was a member of the Austrian Club, a founding member of the Hubertus Rod and Gun Club and the Burgenlander Club and also enjoyed many Croatian cultural activities. Special thanks to the Nurses, PSWs, support staff and Dr. Sertic at Cawthra Gardens Long-Term Care for their exceptional care and kindness.
