It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Edwin “Mark” Pye on Thursday, May 13, 2021 in his 69th year. Father to Thomas (Paige), Alexandra (Andrew), and Christopher (Jenn). Grandfather to Olivia Pye and predeceased by granddaughter Nora Grace Pye. Survived by our mom Rose Pye (nee Lico). Predeceased by his mother and father Marguerite and Stanley Pye, brothers Richard (Patricia) and Gordon (Bonnie) Pye. Survived by sister, Susan Bowinkelmann and predeceased by his brother-in-law and best man, Heinz Bowinkelmann. He will be missed by nieces, nephews and many cousins. Mark loved to discuss politics having majored in Political Science at McMaster University. He also acquired a diploma in Computer Science at Mohawk College and worked for IBM as a computer programmer. He was an avid reader and could have discussions on almost any topic. He loved sports and followed the Montreal Canadians, the Green Bay Packers and enjoyed cycling and watching The Tour de France and Giro d’Italia. His sharp mind and wit will be sorely missed.
A cremation will take place and due to Covid restrictions a private celebration of life will be arranged for a later date.
Donations can be made to the Cancer Assistance Program of Hamilton.
