It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a dear friend, colleague, mentor and professor. Chef Eric Deletroz a part-time culinary professor with Humber College for the past 11 years passed away suddenly on Saturday. He is leaving behind his wife Lisa and their son.

Eric hailed from Switzerland arriving in Canada with his passion for food and the culinary industry. While here he worked in many roles, including Corporate Chef of Cara Foods and Director of Culinary and Menu Development for Imvestcor. Most recently, Eric taught part-time at Humber College while working with McCormick Foods in product development. While teaching at Humber and mentoring the next generation of chefs, Eric was also the lead examiner of the Certified Chef de Cuisine program mentoring many chefs to achieve a top level industry credential.

Eric was a truly kind and energetic person who cared about everyone he met. His love of family and friends was apparent in every conversation as well as his career and craft. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

On Monday, October 24, flags at our campuses will be lowered to half-mast in memory of Eric Deletroz.
