elevated fk7zW Obituary

elevated fk7zW With very deep sadness, we announce, that Gregory Anthony Dosman passed away peacefully at North York General Hospital, on Friday September 23rd, 2022 at the age of 66, after a stoic and courageous battle with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease.

elevated fk7zW Greg was kind, loving and the most loyal and devoted son, brother, cousin, uncle and friend. Greg will be greatly missed by all who loved him, especially his brother Michael Francis, (Jill Anne nee Underhill),  his nephews, Peter Michael (Nadia nee Galle), Jacob Anthony (Katie nee Badin), his niece, Kate Amelia, his great nephew, Angelo and his great niece, Chiara. He was pre-deceased by his parents, Reuben Anthony and Amelia Maria (nee Ferraro). Greg was also the loving Godfather to Stephen Lennie, John Paul Ferraro and his nephew, Peter Michael.

elevated fk7zW Greg was born in Guelph, Ontario and lived on Alice Street.  Two years later, the family moved to Richmond Hill, Ontario and lived next door to his cousins, Paul, David, Donna and Janice. Greg’s family made their home there for more than 50 years.

elevated fk7zW Greg’s deep love for music started with his childhood accordion lessons. This keen music interest was further enhanced during his years in the high school band at Brebeuf College where he formed lifelong friendships with many great people. Some of these friends continued in music, forming various bands, one of which continued to play together with Greg and then for Greg when he lived at Cummer Lodge. Greg graduated from the University of Western Ontario, Kings College, with an Honours Degree in History in 1977.  After graduating, Greg worked with his closest cousin, John Ferraro, in the family business for 35 years. Greg continued to enrich his colorful life with worldly travels, including trips to Mexico, Europe and Machu Picchu, Peru.

elevated fk7zW Everyone loved Greg. The knowledge he shared about so many things exemplified an intelligent and educated man who was also compassionate and considerate. Greg was close to the extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins, and attended many family functions at Jumping Deer Ranch where great memories were made and will never be forgotten.

elevated fk7zW Greg’s tireless dedication to his parents, Reuben and Molly was unprecedented. His love, patience and time with his nephews, Peter and Jacob, and his niece Kate will always be treasured.

elevated fk7zW The strong bond with his brother Michael and the close relationship with his sister-in-law Jill will be held in their hearts forever.

elevated fk7zW We would like to thank the family and friends who visited Greg over the past 12 years. Also, we thank Cummer Lodge for their excellent care for 6-½ years. And thank you to North York General Hospital, 3W, for the tender care Greg received in his final days.

elevated fk7zW Rest in peace Greg. We will love you forever.
