Obituary for Michael Joseph Gross

Michael Joseph  Gross
GROSS, Michael Joseph
It is with great sadness that the family of Michael Joseph Gross announces his passing after a hard-fought battle with Kidney cancer, on Friday, May 31, 2019, in his 81st year. Michael will be greatly missed by his wife Susan of 58 years, and their children, Karen (Don) McLeod, David (Lisa), Greg (Shannon), and Michele (Scott) Lyons, his eight grandchildren, Maleri (Andrew) Scott, Spencer, Calder, Jordyn, Michael, Carson, Sydney and Hunter and a great-grandson Nathan, his brothers, John (Karen), Peter (Heather), and his sister, Marianne. Mike will also be forever remembered by his numerous nieces, nephews and extended family and dear friends.
Mike was a cherished husband and a protector for his life-long partner Sue. He was a strong patriarch of his family and enjoyed many successes in life. He built a successful business, travelled the world, enjoyed many outdoor activities, succeeded in sports but most of all built a legacy of family and friends.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 4 at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener, ON.
A Celebration of Mike's life will be held at 11:00 a.m., on Wednesday, June 5, at St. Anthony Daniel Roman Catholic Church, 29 Midland Drive, Kitchener.
In lieu of flowers, donations to The Kidney Foundation of Canada-Ontario Branch or Innisfree House would be appreciated (cards available at the funeral home or by calling 519-749-8467).
