Surrounded by his wife and two sons, Alev passed away peacefully at Southlake Hospital in Newmarket. He is survived by his beloved wife of 51 years, Bilge; sons Omer (Sandy) and Ali (Jennifer); grandchildren, Aydin and Claire; and Jennifer’s children Christine and Nick. Predeceased by his parents Şahap and Muazzez Metel, he leaves behind his sister Gönenç and an extended family in Turkey.
Alev was a vibrant, outgoing and energetic force whose smile and sense of humour touched everyone he encountered. He led a full, well-lived life and will be greatly missed.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a celebration of Alev’s life on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 at Thompson Funeral Home in Aurora. Visitation from 11am to 1pm followed by a Graveside Service at Aurora Cemetery.
