MIDRONI, Doron - On Wednesday, May 5, 2021.
Doron Midroni, beloved husband of Josette for over 63 years.
Loving father and father- in-law of Gyl Midroni and Phuong Nguyen, and Ran Midroni and Karen Halpern.
Devoted grandfather of Jacqueline, Julie, Cooper, Logan, and Riley.
Doron was born Isidor Marcovici in Bucharest, Romania in 1936. With his quick wit and way with words he was writing for the Bucharest paper by the age of 14, a veteran reporter by the age of 17.
He studied journalism at the University of Bucharest, and had his own regular show on Radio Bucharest at age 21. During these years he met then married the love of his life Josette. In 1961 they emigrated to Israel, starting a whole new life, in a new language, with a new name (Doron), building a successful career in Israeli international banking, where he rose to a senior level, while he and Josette were raising their two boys, Gyl and Ran.
In 1974 Doron and his family emigrated to Canada, again starting afresh, again with a new language, and once more working from the ground up to become a director at the Bank of Nova Scotia at the time of his retirement at the age of 72. Beloved by his many employees, he was an architect for the SWIFT international financial exchange system that underlies international banking to the present time.
His loss will leave a hole in all our lives, but we have the memories, pictures, and documents of a life well-lived to give us comfort.
A graveside service will take place on Thursday, May 6, 2021.
Donations in his memory can be made to the Department of Oncology, St. Michael's Hospital.
