We sadly announce the passing of Vasant Mhatre, peacefully at home, on Tuesday, December 24, 2024. Born on April 13, 1935, to parents Shamrao and Laxmi Mhatre in Mumbai, India, Vasant was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

Vasant is predeceased by his siblings Nilkanth (Nirmala), Nalini, Nagesh (Lee), and Narayan. He was the devoted husband of Vijayashree for 49 years and will be dearly missed by his daughter Sangita (Peter), son Kiran (Karen), and grandchildren Isla and Emerson. He is also survived by his cousins, nephews, and nieces across Canada, the United States, and India.

Vasant came to Canada in 1965 and worked at Kingston General Hospital as a Medical Technologist for 34 years. Vasant’s greatest joy was his family, and he cherished gatherings with family and friends. He loved cricket, hockey, baseball, music, and dance, bringing joy to all who knew him.

A private family funeral has been conducted. Memorials or donations may be made to Martha’s Table.
