November 1, 1929 – December 31, 2014
Lethbridge, Roy – November 1, 1929 – December 31, 2014, in his 86th year, Roy passed away peacefully in his sleep at Hamilton General Hospital. A loving husband to his late wife of 59 years, Lorna (nee Pounder, 2010), a proud father to his three children Sharon, Rick and Suzanne. Adoring and adored Grandfather to Tim, Jesse and Chelsea, and great-grandchildren Katelyn and her little brother (due February 2015). Much loved by many nieces, nephews, relatives, close family friends and friends from afar. Predeceased by his older brother Harold, older brother Ken and younger brother Barry. Roy will be sorely missed by his family, friends and co-workers he met during his 43 years at Gillies-Guy and his home life of 60+ years in Greensville. He was a kind hearted, honest, hardworking man who would do anything for anybody. He loved the north country and his second home on Deer Lake in South River. He volunteered for the Red Cross for many years after his retirement. Roy could put a smile on anybody’s face and made friends with everybody he met. To celebrate his life, friends will be received by the family on Friday afternoon from 12:00 noon until the time of Roy’s Service at 1:00 p.m. at the Cattel, Eaton & Chambers Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas. Cremation has taken place. Interment at White Chapel Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate donation to the Red Cross or the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA in honour of his memory.
Our sincere condolences to the whole family in this time of sorrow… Roy was a terrific individual and will be very missed in our area… walked the dog for a number of years with Arie and there are many fond memories of those times…
With a heavy heart but fond memories, I recalled my career with Roy at Gillies-Guy. Roy mentored me from my first day…I quickly learned Roy was ‘the Guy’ our entire office looked upon for resolution to absolutely any service issue. We met many customers in their basements, over the years, and Roy treated each with such honesty and tech knowledge that he earned all the trust bestowed upon him. To this day, my customers still speak Roy Lethbridge’s name with gratitude. Thank you Roy. You still are
‘the Guy’.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Even when he was out walking with his walker he would stop to pass the time and share any news about Greensville. RIP
I worked with Roy at Gillies-Guy for 10 years from 1968 to 1978 …I always found him to be very kind and was always a gentleman ..In later years I enjoyed chatting with him at Marks in Ancaster …Roy was part of a lost generation this world will not see the likes of again my sincere condolences for your loss…I know you will miss him more than words can say.
I’m so sorry to hear the sad news about Roy. I have such lovely memories of Roy and Lorna, and the whole Lethbridge family. My late husband John Walker and myself lived with the Lethbridges when we were newlyweds, and the family treated us with so much kindness and generosity. I think fondly on those times and the warmth and welcoming nature of the Lethbridge family. God bless.
My sincere sympathies for your loss,
Vera Walker
