Obituary of Austin Felix Mask

 

September 21, 1948 - November 30, 2022


Austin passed away in the early hours of November 30th at Sunnybrook Hospital. After years of coping with ill health, his heart could no longer go on.


Austin is preceded by his, parents Felix and Dorothy Mask (Richardson), his sister Rosemary Fox and his brother Larry Mask. He is survived by his sister Anna Marie Mifsud and his brother- in-law Robert Mifsud who were at his side in the final days of his life. He will be dearly missed by his cousin Kathy Richardson who was a special part of his life.


He will also be missed by his numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. His greatest regret was not being able to spend more time with them. He especially missed getting together with his buddies at Leaside pub night and talking about their motorcycle days.


Austin spent most of his "formative years" in Leaside and returned to Leacrest Road for the last 30 years of his life.
