Molnar, Leslie(Les) Joseph
It is with great
sadness we announce the passing of Les Molnar, loving husband of
Catherine (Cathy) Cruz on April 12, 2021 in Western Shore, Nova Scotia
at age 64.
Les was born September 4, 1956 in
Toronto, ON to parents Sadie Euphemia McDonald and Leslie Molnar Sn.
He grew up in a downtown Toronto neighbourhood near Bathurst and Bloor
Street, where he attended grade school and St. Michaels High
School. Les loved learning and studied at Guelph University,
graduating with a BA in History in 1979. Soon after he moved
to Calgary, AB and pursued a career in retail sales. His lifelong
quest for knowledge stayed with him and over the years, he became the
one to beat at Trivial Pursuit.
Les and Cathy met in
Calgary in 1993, a meeting that might be described as love at first
sight. She was the love of his life and they married on September 20,
2003. In 2007 they moved their home to Western Shore, NS
where Les continued his work in retail and Cathy advanced her career
in computer network management. Following his retirement, Les
volunteered at South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater and took
great pride in maintaining and improving the home they lived in,
overlooking the beautiful Mahone Bay.
Les loved life and will be remembered by his lifelong friend
Patrick Collins, Jim O’Keefe, Mary Ross, his cousins Anna
and Roger Davison, Cathy's family, Donna and Cam Larocque and his
feline buddy and confidante, Mr. T.
A
Celebration of Life and Interment will take place at a later date due
to COVID-19 restrictions.
In lieu of flowers, the family is
requesting that donations be made to South Shore Regional Hospital
Foundation, Volunteer Department. Arrangements are under the direction
of the R.A. Corkum Funeral Home, Wileville, where on-line condolences
