I just sat on Catalin's Bench yesterday and was curious as to who he was. Found out he was a terrific guy that I would have loved to know! My condolences to the ones he loved! You where truly blessed.

I have worked with Catalin for longer than a decade and was deeply shaken by the news of his passing. I want to extend my condolences to his family and friends. Catalin was an amazing person to work with - so supportive and helpful. I will miss him dearly, as I'm sure anyone who worked with him regularly will. What a loss to us all...

The last time I spoke with Catalin was at the office gathering before XMas. As usual, the conversation tended to gravitate around travelling, because Catalin travelled well and I liked to listen to his trip stories. The last tip Catalin told me was to avoid Pearson airport if possible, even on connection flights. Sure enough, stranded travelers at Pearson were on cable news almost every day during the holiday week. Catalin, we all will make our own last trips out of this world. Next time we meet, we'd compare our itineraries and see who'd booked a better one.

A man with a heart of gold. This was Catalin. He embodied kindness, generosity, true friendship and joy of life. It is difficult to grasp that the warm smile, witty jokes and energetic presence will no longer be joining us. He leaves behind a huge void and we will remember and cherish the many gifts of kindness and friendship that he has shared with us and enriched our lives for all these years.
Farewell our dear friend.

Catalin will be missed, that is for sure, and he will live on in the hearts and minds of so many people he touched throughout his wonderful life. I feel so lucky and fortunate to have worked directly with Catalin for many years and even moreso that I could call him friend. He was and remains a bright light to comfort and guide us all. Thank you Catalin and rest in peace my dear friend.

I have worked with Catalin since 2004 and in these years I've come to view him as a mentor and someone who always knew the right way to navigate whatever our current problem might be. He is dedicated, thorough, dependable, calm, helpful and supportive, with a seemingly endless amount of positive energy. He makes everything at work better through his presence and integrity. I will miss his steady hand, his wisdom, his smile and how he always announces his presence on a conference call with "I am Catalin." I regret the fact that I have not seen him as much in these years where we have been working from home, but I was very happy to see him in person and catch up with him at a celebration at our office in the past summer. His loss is tragic and difficult to come to terms with. I am grateful for the time that I got to spend with Catalin and for his wise counsel. He was the best of us and he is truly someone whose qualities I strive to emulate. I would like to send my sincere condolences to Mihaela, Cristina, Laura, Casti and all of his family and friends.

Please accept my deepest condolences to the whole family for the loss of Catalin... So sudden and so heartbreaking...
I shortly worked with Catalin in the very beginning of my career at Innovapost, and always heard so many good words about him in our friends/colleague circle. We will remember Catalin in many very positive ways - with his big smile, inner light, his sense of humor, modesty and professionalism. He will be greatly missed and honored.

Dear Mihaela and Cristina,
Catalin will always be, to us, the most friendly, happy, easy going and peaceful person we’ve ever had the pleasure to spend time with. He always carried his big, goofy smile on his face wherever we met, be it at our camping trips, Cuba, parties….
Once the grief has passed, we should all get together and celebrate Catalin for the wonderful and generous spirit he was.
Our deepest condolences to Cristina and Mihaela.
May he rest in peace.

Catalin worked for me for about 8 years (2011-2019) and he was a pleasure to work with. He was hard-working, optimistic, realistic, and enjoyable to be around. We had lots of laughs together and we also enjoyed playing indoor soccer together with a few other Innovapost folks. I fondly remember many conversations with Catalin - mostly about family, Romania, hot tubs, and vacations. Catalin was wise and I really valued the time spent with him because of his background, perspective and strong family-first values. His death is a tragedy, but I am a better person for having spent time with him and I will cherish my memories. I will miss him dearly.

Dear Cristina and your family,
It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of our dear Uncle Catalin. He was a dear member of our family and will never be forgotten.
He was a kind, generous and loving person who touched the lives of all who knew him and will be greatly missed.
He leaves behind a legacy of love, honesty and selflessness that will inspire all who knew him . We will always cherish the memories we have with him.
I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to join him on one of his vacations, and the memories will stay with me forever.
I wish to express my sincere gratitude for the invaluable guidance and consideration he gave me during my time in the United States and Germany. His kind support from afar had a significant impact on my experience in these countries. I will miss his guidance, optimism and wise counsel.
Dear Christina, may God ease your pain and also rest her soul in peace!

Examples of Catalin’s exceptional character are endless. If you ask anyone that knows him, you’ll probably discover a new story of human kindness involving Catalin.
I will not linger too long on this because I know he was uncomfortable when people were praising him. But now he cannot object, sorry buddy, this is you in my memory:
You were a “safe place”. I could share anything with you without fear of being judged. Your hot tub was always open in time of need when I needed someone to brainstorm solutions to life problems. You had this innate knack of how to really listen, when to talk and what to say. Your help in times of need was priceless…this is what friends are for…
Trusted. One could be sure that anything you shared with Catalin would stay “inside the vault”.
Dependable. When you needed something done and you needed it done right, you were the man to call! And you would always answer!! When I travelled to Sweden for work, I was always thinking: Eh, if Dana needs help, I have Catalin…
Selfless: you would prioritize helping others (not just the family) over you. One should only look at what he did for Marian over the last few months. Or the volunteer work he did installing the tiles at the new romanian church. And you never expected anything in return.
Little you knew that what you will get in return is a bunch of grown-ups crying when you are no more.
Rest in peace my dearest friend…

Dear Mihaela,
We’ve known you for over 23 years, and along with a few other friends, we like to call ourselves family. We’ve been together for countless birthday parties (remember the never ending Midway family fun park?), summer camping trips, rental cottages, arts classes, ski lessons, Halloween parties, New Years celebrations, and built so many memories together. Even our kids call themselves “The Romanianians” and continue to carry the legacy of friendship and support that their parents had all this time.
Catalin always told us “not to fight” (sa nu ne certam) and to always stick together. Our hearts are aching that he was the first to be unfairly taken from us too soon. His words resonate with us now more than ever, and despite the pain, he would want this to only make us stronger, together. He was an outstanding man and there is no grieving message that can express how much he meant to us.
Cristina, you meant the world to your dad. No matter where he is, he’ll always be watching over you and smiling. His memories, hopes, and dreams will stay with you forever. Remember the amazing life he lead and how much he loved you.

Dear Mihaela and family
We were (and still are) devastated when we heard the news of Catalin's passing. But we know that if Catalin was here, he would say in his usual matter of fact and logical way that death is something that we all have in common and we have no control over when, how and where. So the most important thing is to enjoy every moment and to live life to its fullest. And Catalin certainly did that. We have so many cherished memories of our friendship. Catalin may be gone but he will always be in our present tense. Rest in peace Catalin!!!

My condolences for this loss... I have known Catalin for 15+ years from working together. Though lately have not worked closely with his group, he was always available to help, no matter the issue. Many times when at a loss for pursuing a resolution, I would go to him to pick his brain and get his ideas of what next. He was funny and serious at the same time, and always tried to calm every situation. He spoke many times of his daughter, and if she is reading this: he was so proud of you. I am still in shock and sad over this sudden passing. Knowing Catalin, I don't doubt he had a strong and loving family, wishing you all to pull on this strength, and help each other move forward.

Catalin ar fi apreciat rindurile de mai jos. Nu-mi apartin mie; le-am gasit undeva:
"We came into this life Naked and will leave Naked..... . The Suitcase
A man died, when he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.
God said: ‘Alright son it’s time to go’.
Surprised the man responded: ‘Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans...’
‘I'm sorry but it’s time to go’.
‘What do you have in that suitcase?’ the man asked.
God answered: ‘Your belongings’.
‘My belongings?...You mean my things, my clothes, my money?’
God answered: ‘Those things were not yours, they belonged to the earth.’
‘Is it my memories?’ the man asked.
God answered: ‘Those never belonged to you, they belonged to time.’
‘Is it my talents?’
God answered: ‘Those were never yours, they belonged to the circumstances.’
‘Is it my friends and family?’
God answered: ‘I'm sorry, they were never yours, they belonged to the path.’
‘Is it my wife and children?’
God answered: ‘They were never yours, they belonged to your heart.’
‘Is it my body?’
God answered: ‘That was never yours, it belonged to the dust.’
‘Is it my soul?’
God answered: ‘No, that is mine.’
Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from God and opened it just to find the suitcase was empty.
With a tear coming down his cheek the man said: ‘I never had anything?’
God answered: ‘That is correct, only every moment you lived, was yours, nothing else.’
Life is just a moment, a moment that belongs to you. For this reason enjoy this time while you have it.
Don't let anything that you think you own stop you from doing so.
Live now…
Live your life…
Don't forget to be happy, that is the only thing that matters.
Material things and everything else that you fought for stay here - YOU CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING!"

If feelings could described themselves, how easy it would be, we wouldn't have to look for trivial words that struggle to express Cătălin's qualities. And if we must use the human medium of communication to remember the kindness, the optimism, the joy of being with us, the love of nature, the modesty, the tireless efforts he put in without complaining, the unconditional love and care for each of us , don't forget to see it with your mind's eye so that the appellations try to honor it as it deserves.
They cannot describe the joy in his eyes when he met his friends, when he helped someone, when he played "mime" at the campsite in the evening by the fire or when he strolled in nature that he found "fantastic".
He did not hesitate to help, to say a kind word, to cheer up and infect those around him with his laughter. He'll be deeply missed.
Dear Cristina and Mihaela, we hope that the huge wole left will be filled with the joy of having him in your life and calling him "Mine".
We only have to look at his smile to live all that was and will be Cătălin.
You'll be in our hearts forever.
Our deepest and most sincere condolences,
================================================================================================
Dacă sentimentele s-ar descrie singure, ce ușor ar fi, n-ar trebui să căutam cuvinte banale ce se chinuie sa atingă calitățile lui Cătălin. Și dacă trebuie să folosim mediu uman de comunicare ca să ne amintim de bunătatea, optimismul, bucuria de fi împreună cu noi, dragostea de natură, modestia, eforturile neostenite ce le punea necontenit fără să se plângă, dragostea si grija necondiționată pentru fiecare din noi, nu uitați să-l vedeți cu ochii minții pentru ca apelativele să încerce să-l onoreze pe merit.
Dragă Cristina și Mihaela sperăm ca golul rămas sa se umple cu bucuria de a-l fi avut in viața voastră și de a-l numi “Al Meu”.
Nouă ne ajunge să-i privim zâmbetul ca sa trăim tot ce a fost și va fi Cătălin.
Odihneste-te in pace Cata, ramii pe veci in sufetul nostru !

Catalin was a remarkable individual and an amazing person, kind natured and compassionate. I had the pleasure of working with him for couple of years and he was not only a great boss, but also a true friend and mentor.
He always went out of his way to listen to concerns and offer support, and he genuinely cared about everyone who worked with him. I learned a lot of professional things from him and have a lot of respect for him.
I will remember most about his sense of humor and ability to make us all laugh. He had a great sense of humor and was always able to lighten the mood, even during the most challenging times.
He will greatly be missed. My thoughts and prayers with his family during this difficult time.

Please except my deepest condolences for your loss of such a great person.
I worked with Catalin for over 19 years, and he was always the most pleasant, humble and gracious person to work with. He was always smiling and friendly. I saw him at Costco on the 22nd, so it was so shocking and upsetting to find out on 29th that he passed away the next day - 23rd. A sad reminder to not take anything for granted.

I have been working with Catalin since I had started at Innovapost in December 2007. He is one of my best mentors, colleagues and friends in my career life. I was in extreme shock and unbelief after finding the news that he has been taken from us by GOD. Even though we'll all miss him greatly in our daily life, but I am pretty sure GOD needed someone beside him like Catalin, so his journey in this world has been shortened. Stay in peace Catalin. Amen.

Catalin was a gem of a person, a mentor, a good-hearted person & a caring boss who always went the extra mile to help and make his team feel comfortable and morally boost with his extra caring nature and humor.
He was a person of great character and always wanted people to grow in life which would make him so happy. I loved working under him and learning from the best boss in the world.
I still recall our last team conversation filled with laughter where he said: "I have a budget to celebrate our year-end and I asked him, how many of us get Tesla's for doing a great job, We all had such a big laugh over it!!"
My deepest condolences to his family and he will be truly missed!!

I am so saddened by the news. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to the family. He really was one of the kindest people I have ever worked with. Catalin was my first manager when I first joined Innovapost 10 years ago. What a great experience it was to work along side of him. He is truly everything you are reading in these postings. A pleasant, professional, kind, giving and caring person that took nothing for granted and loved his family deeply.

Catalin was always with a cup of coffee in his hand and always smiling. We talked about work, kids, camping and travel, making plans for next vacation or sharing experiences from the past ones.
He cared deeply about family, and he was so proud for his daughter Cristina.
He was an amazing person and our little community at Innovapost was heartbroken, he will live in our hearts and memories forever.
O lumânare aprinsă şi gândurile noastre sunt alături de voi. Sincere condoleanţe!
Odihneasca-se in pace!

My sincere condolences to you, Mihaela, Cristina and your extended family.
Catalin's obituary photo shows how I remember him. He was such a caring guy. I met Catalin when he started his first job in Canada. We were a small group of developers and Catalin fit right in. From night skiing in a fashionable ski suite, dancing at Christmas parties or any kind of fun in general, Catalin was always in the thick of things. He might have lamented the arrival of the DVD because it made his extensive collection of Disney VHS tapes somewhat outdated but was a techie at heart.
He was eager to learn and contribute. Later, when we both worked at a frantic startup, Catalin was part of our small group at the heart of it all. I do remember the crazy Nortel stock valuations and the long discussions that he had over what to do when the market started to nosedive and eventually caught up with our company as well. Shortly after, Catalin started a long career at Innovapost.
We will miss you Catalin. Rest in Piece.

I have only known both you, Catalin, and Mihaela for a brief time, only since July 2022 and have been struck by your generosity, your kindness, the giving of yourself to others, those around you, those in need.
Rest In Peace, Catalin! I wish I would have had the opportunity to know you for longer.

Facultatea de automatică, București. Acum 40 de ani, acum.4 zile în sufletul nostru.
Facultatea de automatică, București, un furnicar de studenți, mai bine de 200 în anul nostru. Ne știm toți, măcar din vedere. Dar pe unii îi știm personal. Cătălin era unul dintre aceștia. Toți știam cine este, cum îl cheamă. Toti îl știam disponibil, implicat, figură emblematică a anului nostru. La fel ca atunci, întâlnindu-l peste ani, el a rămas pentru noi toți Cătălin, inconfundabil. Așa va rămâne în continuare.
Drum bun Cătălin, rămâi cu bine

I never thought I was going to live this day. I don't even know where to begin to say what Cata was for me in college, a trusted friend, a pal, almost like a brother. I remember there was a time when I spent a lot of time in their dorm room, working on school projects or simply hanging out and on my birthday he gave me a card titled "to the 4th roommate of 107". Other time we were hiking through the Parang Mountain. Every time he started to tell a joke I'd start to laugh, so he'd give me that half serious, half amused glance "Gurau, you know the joke!". He had indeed the best moves on the dance floor, as the pictures that I posted stand testimony. We spent so many vacations together. He was always in good spirits, optimistic, always had a good word for everyone. He liked singing too. Cristina, Titi, Adi Pitu and him were the core of the singing group at parties and such. I remember the parties they had in their dorm, the wonderful food he (and Mihaela Ghiviriga) brought from home, with all those Moldavian specialties that he generously shared with us. I'll never forget him. Rest in peace Cata.

My dear friend Catalin,
I never thought I would be writing you these words today. No word can really describe the sadness that has filled my soul since I received Mihaela’s call a week ago.
I have been blessed to have you as a friend for the last 30 years. I will never forget the time we spent together. You had this ability to make me feel good the moment I was in your presence. I will miss your kindness, your smile and your stories. But I will keep our memories forever.
Rest in peace my friend

Despre Catalin se pot spune multe dar ma rezum doar la doua lucruri.
Primul este caracterizarea pe care i-a facut-o sotia mea care, desi l-a intalnit doar in doua ocazii, a spus despre el ca "este un tip tare". Simplu, dar atat de cuprinzator.
A doua chestie de care imi amintesc este sfarsitul discursului pe care l-a tinut la petrecerea de absolvire in care spunea ca "viata este scurta si daca nu o putem lungi, macar sa o facem lata". Sper, de fapt sunt sigur, ca viata lui, desi scurta, a fost "lata".
Odihna vesnica prieten drag.

Life has spread us across continents since a young age, but the strong bond uniting us never ceased. I have great memories since the studenthood days spent together with Catalin ("Cata" as we used to call him). Joy spread when he visited my family in our Bucharest flat. Then my mother shared lots of memories with Cata about Suceava, the place where she grew up. It was great just listening to them.
Cata was my very best friend, a ray of sunshine each time I saw him, gracious, reliable, always helpful and cheerful. Our deep friendship persisted all over these years, whether in Vienna – where we supported each other again after both fleeing Romania – or by electronic messages sent across the ocean. I am still reading your good wishes written only two months ago and will miss your refreshing lines.
Cata, you will always be in my heart!
My thoughts are with you and your dear family. We can rejoice to know that we will all meet again.
Love,
Irina Wolf (Obreja)

We are at the other end of the world…literally thousands and thousands of km away, in Australia… But our friendship that started way back in Uni days was strong and as fresh as in those Uni days! And the news of this tragedy struck like lightening, I still simply cannot completely grasp the immensity of this black hole that is Cata’s passing… My very dear friend, you were the most genuine, caring, open and trustworthy guy that Costin and I came across, your soul was larger than life and your zest for life was incredible! it is with truly deep sorrow that we witness your passing, so young, so at the top of your game! I keep on looking on WhatsApp to the laughs, the photos, the memories we shared until just a couple of days ago… life is beautiful but harsh, so harsh sometimes… Its hard to find the right words to pour our sorrow in, we love you, we miss you, you will be forever part of our life…
