ROESSLER, Wolfgang Karl Philipp - SUNRISE, March 18, 1939 - Konigsberg, Prussia SUNSET, April 15, 2021 - Toronto, Canada
If one had to choose a word to describe Wolfgang, it would be "committed" 100% to everything he did in his life; he was focused and driven.
He never gave up, and was always ready...Faster! Further! Smarter!
Having had a great dislike for peas and carrots as a child, Wolfgang discovered his passion for cooking at a very young age.
In Germany, at the age of 14, he left home to study culinary arts which set the stage for a lifelong career that brought him to kitchens around the world.
While working in Toronto, he met Corriëtte, his loving wife of 55 years. He became a successful businessman, entrepreneur, a Master Chef and was active in local and international culinary competitions and events
Spirited by his love of community, he often volunteered preparing holiday dinners for hundreds each year.
He participated in many charitable events and was involved with the local food banks.
He always offered his culinary talent at family and friends' celebratory occasions.
Family gatherings were a favourite where he loved to sit at the kids' table. No longer with us, Wolfgang will never be forgotten. To honour Wolfgang's spirit, please practice random acts of kindness or volunteer in your community.
In lieu of cards and flowers, if you so desire, donations can be made to organizations close to Wolfgang's heart - Alzheimer Society of Ontario, the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Ontario, Myeloma Canada or the charity of your choice.
