<div itemprop="description">In Loving Memory of Samuel Mathew <br>(November 24, 1941 - August 7, 2026) <br> <br>It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Samuel Mathew. He was born in Thottappuzhacherry, Kerala (India) in 1941 and immigrated to Canada in 1968. <br> <br>He was a charming and charismatic man who radiated warmth and wit. Hours would seem like minutes when spent with him as he was a gifted and animated storyteller. He would share joy and laughter with each of his stories. <br> <br>He was married to his loving wife Annamma Mathew (née Varghese) for 57 years, he was a devoted father to 3 children (Anita, Samson, Sunita), and he was a proud Appachan to 5 grandchildren (Joshua, Alyssa, Samuel, Noah, Estelle). <br> <br>Our hearts ache now that you’ve left us, Papa. We miss you more than words can express. Our only comfort is in knowing that we will see you once again in Heaven. <br> <br>“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you…” <br> 1 Peter 1:3-4 NIV <br> <br></div>
