Moe Schwartz, age 94, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on December 20th, 2025.
Born November 10th, 1931, he lived most of his life in Ontario, Canada and worked as an electrician at Ontario Hydro until retiring in 1993. He was a man who loved to bring joy unto others and his wonderful sense of humor can still be felt, even in his absence.
Moe is survived by his daughter, Sheila (Jim) Papadimitrios (née Schwartz), and son, Tony (Kathleen) Schwartz, as well as his 6 grandchildren Justin, Alexis (Nicholas), Jordan (Jordan), Jason, Andrew, Amanda, and his 3 great grandchildren Emma, Ella, Easton. He is lovingly reunited with his wife, Aviva Schwartz (née Stor).
At this time, the immediate family will be mourning his loss privately, in respect of his last wishes. Details regarding a Celebration of Life will be shared at a later date when available.
Memorial contributions are welcome at Hospice Simcoe located in Barrie, Ontario at 336 Penetanguishene Road (https://hospicesimcoe.ca/ways-to-donate).

Posted on: Monday, December 22, 2025I am truly heartbroken to hear of Moshe’s passing. May his memory always be a blessing. I have known Moshe for almost 60 years. I am a niece of his sister-in-law Anutza. I have not seen Moshe since 2017 but we kept in touch on FB. He was a kind and generous person and will be dearly missed.

I remember him as a funny , smart and generous man. I am so sorry for your loss, and happy for him, for making such a nice family, and for you to have him as your father.
Yours truly, Dana.
