JOE LUNDY

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of our dearly loved Joe, peacefully in faith, and surrounded by his loving family, at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, Ont. on Monday, Feb. 21, 2005.
Joe Lundy of Barrie was the beloved husband of 45 years to Jeannette; and dearest father to Lisa (Joe) Cartaginese, Deanna (Bruce) Martin, and Christopher Lundy (friend, Pamela Henderson), all of Barrie.
He also was the perfect Papa to his dearly-loved grandchildren, Amanda and Natalie Cartaginese, Justin and Jordan Martin, Taylor and Kailyn Lundy; and step-grandson, Kyle Martin.
He will be deeply missed by his brothers, Michael (Carol) Lundy of Ottawa, Ont., and Jim (Jane) Lundy of Markham, Ont., and sister, Mary (William) Walker of Markham, Ont., and their families.
Remembered with love by his mother-in-law, Mary Sokil (late Harry Sokil); brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Mike and Dianne; and nephew, Shane McBride; and Lorraine Lundy.
He was predeceased by his infant daughters, Maria, Theresa, and Josephine; and is parents, Richard and Madeline Lundy.
Joe was born in Toronto, Ont. on April 11, 1936. He joined Bell Canada in 1954 and worked in Northern Ontario for many years before he and his family moved to Orangeville and then Barrie in 1967.
He was a member of the Bell Canada Pioneers and the Barrie Historical Society.
After retiring in 1990, he and Jeannette travelled extensively—something they enjoyed very much.
He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and working at his small engine repair business, and foremost spending time with the apples of his eye—his grandchildren.
