It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Nick Kapshey, in his 87th year.
Nick was born on November 20, 1939, in Kitchener to Michael and Mary Kapshey. From an early age, he was known for his strong work ethic, quiet kindness, and deep devotion to family. Nick moved from Kitchener to Hamilton, where he met the love of his life and soulmate, JoAnne (Link), at McMaster University. They married in 1968 and built a beautiful life together in Dundas. For 36 wonderful years, they shared a marriage filled with friendship, love, laughter, and unwavering support before JoAnne’s passing in 2004.
Nick is lovingly remembered by his children, Lisa (Skeete) and her husband Joel, and Paul and his wife Sarah. He was a devoted father whose steady guidance, generosity, and caring nature shaped the lives of those who loved him most.
While Nick experienced many successes throughout his life, his greatest joy and proudest accomplishment was being “Grandpa” to his three cherished grandchildren, Sydney Skeete, Spencer Skeete, and Nolan Kapshey. He treasured every moment spent with them and took immense pride in all they accomplished.
Nick was the fourth of five children. He was predeceased by his brothers Peter and John. He leaves behind his brother Michael, his sister Mary (Hummel), and many nieces and nephews.
Nick worked as Credit Manager for Slater Steel in Hamilton, where he played an important role in helping the company navigate the complexities of the international steel industry, particularly during the early years of NAFTA. His work gave him the opportunity to travel across North America, creating many lasting memories and adventures that he enjoyed sharing with family and friends.
In retirement, Nick fully embraced the role he loved most — Grandpa. Whether sitting proudly in the stands at baseball and hockey games, attending figure skating competitions, or listening attentively at piano recitals, he was always there cheering on his grandchildren with pride and unconditional love. Nothing brought him greater happiness than watching them pursue their dreams and celebrating their achievements.
Nick will be remembered for his warmth, quiet strength, sense of humour, and unwavering love for his family. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Nick’s family invites those wishing to celebrate his life to attend a visitation at Turner Family Funeral Home located at 53 Main St. Dundas, Ontario on Sunday, May 24, from 2:00–4:00 p.m. A Funeral Mass will take place on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Augustine’s Roman Catholic Church located at 58 Sydenham Road Dundas, Ontario. A private family burial will follow.
Donations in Nick’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
