It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother. For 52 wonderful years, he was the beloved husband of Sandra L. (née Szymanski) Metros, whose partnership brought warmth and love to their family. He was a cherished father to Melanie (Jonathan) Wiedrich, Jeanette (Kevin) Hofner, and Jessica (Dominic Johns) Metros, who remember him with deep affection and gratitude. As a loving papa, he brought joy to Joshua Wiedrich, Maia, and Leah Hofner, creating treasured memories that will live on forever.

He was also a dear brother to Bob, Maryann, Jean, Nick, Dave, Eileen, Mike, and Patty, sharing a lifetime of family bonds and support. His passion for hunting and fishing, gardening, and cooking for the entire family reflected his generous spirit and love for nature and togetherness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, James George and Jeanette (née Dmochowski) Metros, as well as siblings Dolores, Irene, James, Valentine, Theresa, and John, whose memories remain close in the hearts of all who knew him.

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects on Tuesday from 3 to 7 PM at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, 5090 Transit Rd, Depew, NY 14043. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday at 10:00 AM at Resurrection R.C. Church, 130 Como Park Blvd, Cheektowaga, NY 14227. All are welcome to assemble at the church to celebrate his life and legacy.

Flowers gratefully declined. May his memory be a lasting blessing to all who loved him.
