Eulogy by his son Danny Kizner
My father was a true gentleman. Everyone who knew him would say the same thing. He was the gentlest of souls, never had a bad word to say about anyone, unless, of course, you parked like a schmuck in front of our house!
He was very laid back, very calm, very even-tempered. He was a truly wonderful father to both my sister and I, and a wonderful husband to my mom. My parents complemented each other very well, and provided a wonderful home to grow up in. Both my sister and I had a lot of love and a lot of freedom. Our parents supported our choices, even if, perhaps, they didn’t necessarily agree with them. It was very rare to ever hear my parents argue about anything.
My dad liked to keep up with what was going on in the world, even though his greatest comfort was being at home with his family. He kept up with current world issues, as well as what was going on locally, and could converse with anyone about anything. He is one of the very few people that I know who actually still read newspapers daily. He was not at all opinionated, and would never force his views onto anyone else. He also loved to play cribbage online. He loved enjoying meals with us. He made a mean spaghetti sauce too!
He certainly loved his sports. A very fond memory of mine is all of the hockey games we watched together, particularly during the ‘70s when our beloved Canadiens were on top of the world. Such a long time ago. Even up until he became hospitalized, I always cherished sitting down with him and watching the Habs play. He was a bowler, and used to enjoy his bowling nights very much. It was sad when he had to give it up due to his health. He also coached my little league baseball team. Simple things like just throwing a baseball around with him, or a football, when I was very young, will remain with me forever.
If anyone wonders where I got the car bug from, it was my dad. He taught me to drive his car when I was just 14 or 15. He loved to drive. I think it is something in the Kizners’ genes. My dad would loan me his car any time I wanted it. Even over the last year, when he was experiencing much discomfort, the one thing he told me he wanted to do was get in his car and drive. Funny how some of the simplest things in life can give one hope, give one something to strive for that really would just mean being healthy again, or at least healthy enough to drive a car.
My dad had an unusual work life, in the sense that he only worked for one company his entire work life, and that was for my Uncle’s company. He never had a job interview in his life! He would still listen to my grumblings about my work life, and advise best he could, even though he really could not relate. All he cared about was that his loved ones were happy and healthy, like any good dad would.
I am happy he got to see my daughter Celia blossom into a beautiful young lady. I am also happy that he got to spend time with my young niece and nephew, Ryan and Grace.
These last few years have been especially hard on my dad. He fought hard, but the effects of his illness were taking its toll on him. It was so sad for all of us to see him in such pain. Even though his quality of life had become so compromised, he still had the will to carry on. He still had things worth living for that outweighed the severity of the pain. I am so grateful to my mom, as she has been with him every step of the way. She cared for him at home for as long as she possibly could. When he was moved to the hospital, my mother was by his side every day, all day, often spending the night there with him. He longed to return home, as did we.
In the end, my dad went peacefully, with all of his loved ones around him. Saying goodbye to my father was the saddest thing I have ever done in my life, but I could take comfort in knowing that the suffering had finally come to an end. I am proud to have had him as my dad. I will miss him dearly.

------------------------------------------------------
There is always a confusion about the relationship with the Tassé's and the Meloche's. My mother wrote a comment to help make things clear, but it still leaves out where the connection originally generated from...a friendship between my grandfather Tassé and one of the Meloche's or was there something more to the story. Be it known that My grandfather Louis-Oscar Tassé, married Marie-Anne Meloche click here and she was the daughter of Alfred Meloche click here for the family tree (as I know it)
-----------------------------------------------------------
As a comment, my mother once wrote:
Rita Tassé married to Jean-Paul Tassé, et ce Jean-Paul a été élevé par les Meloche et Ovide et lui étais comme des freres
