Edward (Ed) Dahonick passed away peacefully at Maitland Manor in Goderich on January 30, 2022 at the age of 90.
Loving father of seven; Ted, Dianne, Mary-Jo, Cindy, Cathy, Joseph and Rob. Proud Papa to his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Predeceased by his wife, the love of his life, Joan (Wasdell) of 65 years. Born and raised in west-end Toronto in the High Park area on Indian Road; the youngest of 12 to Polish and Ukranian immigrants Honorata (Hykoski) and Nicholas Dahonick; he was predeceased by his 11 siblings.
An avid reader, bowler, golfer, and long-time Detroit Red Wings fan! He lived each day to the fullest and proved age is just a number when he got his first hole-in-one at age 84!
Ed was known as a true gentleman. The legacy of his kind spirit, passion for sports, love of music, zest for life, and corny jokes, lives on through family.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to your local foodbank would be appreciated. Ed was once a volunteer for the Peel Region St. Vincent De Paul delivering food to those in need.
To honour his wishes, a private service will be held.

As a relative ‘newcomer’ to the family I am forever grateful for Dad Dahonick’s welcome. He always had a story and smile to share! His progressive thinking and inclusive ethics are a solid foundation that all of us can embrace as we live our lives!

To my cousins and your families.
Our deepest condolences and sympathies to you all. I enjoyed all those ‘history’ lessons from Uncle Ed on life growing up in West Toronto in the ‘good ole days’ and will always remember those wonderful Christmas Eve dinners at Grandma’s on Indian Road, eating all that delicious food and exploring all the nooks and crannies of the home with many of you.b
Uncle Ed, I hope you will finally be able to play hockey with Gordie Howe!

Uncle Ed, is this your way of wishing me a Happy Birthday. I received the news on my birthday February 4th. I guess because you are my Godfather and you are telling me I am on my own now. I remember even talking with you at my work at United Van Lines, since you worked in the Traffic Dept. at Ontario Hydro and would deal with various people at United. Small World. I will not forget you. Jim,Marnie and Family

Sincerest Condolences to all of Ed’s family. He will live on in our memories. The day of his wedding is for, me one of my fondest memories as part of the greater Dahonick family. The house was filled with joy, happy sounds, and the smells of good food. As a child I was filled with awe that so much happiness could be in one place. I know that even in his absence when family gathers the happiness will be there and so will fond and happy memories of Ed and Joan.

We extend our condolences to Ed’s family. We had the privilege to get to know him when he lived in Lucknow and bowled with us on the Town and Country League. Ed was always a pleasure to talk to during our Thursday afternoon get-to-gethers. He and my husband, Harvey, particularly enjoyed their talks about golf.
