on December 6, 2022, at the age of 80 at St. Joseph’s Health Center. He
succumbed to chronic health conditions, worsening over the past year, but
he courageously carried on daily till his being called back to Our Lord on
the Feast of St. Nicholas.
He is predeceased by his parents, Mihaly Sutka Sr., and Klara Sutka (nee
Kovacs), and his wife, Zsuzsanna Sutka (nee Kulcsar). He is survived by
his sons, (Fr.) John, and Michael.
Born in Csengele, Hungary, his family moved to Erd in the late 1950’s. He
graduated from Josef Atilla Gymnasium in Budapest, 1961, and afterwards
completed an Agricultural degree. Having worked on a Government farm in
the 1970’s, he felt the call to set new roots overseas, arriving in (defecting
to) Canada the summer of 1976. He married Zsuzsanna on September 8 th ,
1976 and settled in Toronto. Their two sons were raised with both faith and
good sense of work, for which they are always grateful.
