Obituary of John Martin Fejes

FEJES, Dr. John Martin DDS It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our wonderful father and grandfather on March 9th, 2011 at Malden Park Palliative Care. Predeceased by his mother Elizabeth (2008) and father John (1993). Loving father of Michelle (John) Poisson (Tecumseh) and Jennifer (John) Fitzgerald (Commerce , MI), dear grandfather of Hayden and Andrea Poisson, and Meghan and Caitlin Fitzgerald and long time loving companion of Ruth Ann Hickey. Born October 1, 1927 in Hungary, John came to Canada in 1935, attended John Campbell grade school and graduated from Kennedy Collegiate in 1948. John attended Assumption College continuing his education at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry, graduating in 1954 to start his long time dental practice here in Windsor. He retired in 1999, after 45 years of practice seeing thousands of patients. John was a longtime member of the Ontario Dental Association, Beach Grove Golf and Country Club, PROBUS and the Hungarian Cultural Society. A perfectionist and a gentleman in every sense of the word, he always set high standards for himself and his family. His love of gardening and entertaining lead to numerous outstanding summertime bar-b-ques for friends and family. His grandchildren always brought a smile to his face and a light to his day. He spent countless hours attending hockey games, soccer matches, dance recitals and baseball games. John's thoughtfulness and gentle nature will be missed by all those who knew him. Thanks to the very caring nursing staff & Dr. Sheehan at Malden Park,, CC8, your kindness, patience and love over the last 3 years made all the difference in all of our lives.
