Karl Filo passed peacefully at the Mill Creek Care Centre with family by his side on Wednesday, December 9, 2020 in his 89th year. Dear husband of Ann Filo for 64 years. Beloved father of Debra Gariepy (Chris), Marian Filo Carroll (Vince), Cynthia Filo, and Veronica Vulic (Danijel). Proud and loving grandfather of Ryan, Gillian, Tyler, Tara, Logan, and Tomas. Karl was born near Hearst, Ontario in a small Slovak community. He served his country as a pilot in the RCAF. Karl was involved with the Knights of Columbus in both Whitby and Barrie as an active member and as Grand Knight for many decades. He volunteered in many other organizations such as Durham Separate School Board (now DCDSB) and the Durham Heart and Stroke Foundation. Karl also loved wood-working, gardening, reciting poetry, and sharing his vocal talents with all that would listen. He will be fondly missed by his remaining brother, John (Monique) and all of his extended family members and friends. The family would like to thank all the staff for the extremely compassionate care of Karl, on the 3 East floor at the Mill Creek Care Centre. A Celebration of Life for immediate family will occur in the future once Covid-19 restrictions settle. Arrangements have been entrusted to Peaceful Transitions, Barrie.
