John Fekete 1919 ~ 2013

It is with sad hearts and many happy memories, that we announce the peacefully passing of our loving, devoted father and grandfather, John Fekete, on Thursday, August 1, 2013 at the age of 94 years. John was predeceased by his soul mate, Mitzi on July 29, 2010.

John is survived by his children Cathy, Leslie, and Betty (Paige), his 6 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren; his only surviving relative in Hungary is his niece Claira and family; also survived by his Dimnik in-laws Steve and Ann, Frances, Marie, Ivanka, Rev. Sister Branka (Slovenia), and Cathy (Argentina); as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his brothers Joe, Frank, and Andrew, and sister Munci.

John was born in Ivan, Hungary on February 15, 1919. He immigrated to Canada to Raymond, Alberta in 1949. In 1950, he married the love of his life Mitzi. After living in Taber for two years, they settled in the Crowsnest Past for 32 years. John was passionate about hockey and he was an avid Calgary Flames fan. His great sense of humour and hospitality always made his home a welcome place. After retirement from Summit Lime Works, he moved to Lethbridge and took up many hobbies and became a brew master, a golfer, fisherman, bowler, and talented artist. The talent he will most be remembered for will be a loving, generous Dad.
