It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Barb Maxwell, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, who departed this world on July 4, 2024, at the age of 87.
Barb was the cornerstone of our family; a beacon of strength, love, and unwavering support.

Barb leaves behind her devoted husband, Rod Maxwell; her loving children, Alex Maxwell-Leech (Charles) and Pam Maxwell-Steele (Andrew); her four adored grandchildren, Hudson, James, Cecelia, and Piper; her sisters, Brenda Curliss and Lynda Ritchie; as well as a wide circle of dear friends and extended family. She will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.
A funeral service will be held at St. Andrew's United Church, 117 Bloor St. E., Toronto, at 10 a.m., on Wednesday, August 28th, with a reception to follow.

HOZJAN, Stefan (Pista) -
July 23, 1944 - July 30, 2024
It is with profound sadness we share the passing of Stefan (Pista) Hozjan, after his courageous battle with lung cancer.
He will be sadly missed by his adoring wife, Valerie, and their children, Tanya (Kyle), Kristin, and Steven (Abilene). Proud grandfather of Kingston, Teaghan, Kase, North, Ariat and Baby Hozjan.
Stefan was born in Crensovci, Slovenjia, and came from a large family.
He was the youngest of 14 siblings, survived by his brother, Tony, his five sisters, and their families.
Stefan arrived in Canada in 1967, when he was 23, to start a family; the last year he saw the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup, a true and loyal fan.
He cherished his family's heritage and the traditions he grew up with, passing them along to his children. Making family recipes, wines, spirits, smoking meats, sausages and horseradish, the good way, like back home.
A personal favourite being zlevenka, which reminded him of his mother. Always happy, there wasn't a day he just shrugged off a problem. Not afraid of hard work, Stefan supported his family and never asked questions, doing everything he could for his wife and kids. Being outside and getting his hands dirty, splitting firewood, cutting the grass, working his gardens, gardening and having bonfires was his shui, and a way to relax and stay in shape.
He will be greatly missed! Donations are preferred in lieu of flowers. The family has set up a go fund me (gofund.me/f6746449).
Stefan has been cremated, as per his wishes, and a private celebration of life. will be held at a later date. Na Zdravje!
