It is with great sadness that our family announce the passing of Larry Cecil Jones, peacefully at the Juravinski Hospital after a short but courageous battle with cancer on August 22, 2021, at the age of 61. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Jennifer (nee Hood), of almost 29 years, and three children Nicholas, Jordann and Emily. Caring son to Eric and Beverly (predeceased), brothers Ray (Allison), Ron (Wendy) and sisters Brenda (Michel) and Glenda (Christopher). Larry will be greatly missed by his extended family, including his in-laws many nephews, nieces, friends, and colleagues.
Larry was always committed to living a very active lifestyle and was an avid cyclist and sports enthusiast. He passed on his joy of being active to his children whether he was cycling, coaching hockey or roller blading with his family. He was a very invested Dad who did everything to always be present in his children’s lives.
Larry had many hobbies alongside his active lifestyle and was very inquisitive by nature. He was a “do it yourselfer” on many projects, enjoyed fixing cars, loved music and photography and was fondly known as the family technical guru.
He will always be remembered for his willingness to help others whenever needed and for being a caring and thoughtful person. Larry will be forever missed and live on in our hearts forever.

January 6, 1950 – August 16, 2021 Stella left us unexpectedly but peacefully, beside the love of her life in beautiful North Bay, Ontario. It is so difficult to capture the force that was Stella in a few sentences, but here goes.
Stella was the wife of Bill for 48 years – a partnership that anyone recognized as full of love, laughs, and true friendship. She was loving mama and mom-in-law to Jessica and BJ, Gemma and Benjamin, and Rebecca and Joseph. She was the loving daughter of her parents (predeceased), Joseph and Agnes Campbell.
An adored nana to five grandchildren: Mia, Will, Anastasia, Gabriel, and Otis; sister and sister-in-law to Brian (predeceased) and Josephine, Gemma and Joao (predeceased), Lorna (predeceased), John and Laima, Alex and Marina, Joseph and Helen, Paul and Lorraine, Mary and Peter, Mike and Jean, and Martin and Terry; and kick-ass aunt to Karen, Janice, and countless beauties from the Campbell Clan. She had friendships that many are not lucky enough to have, bound by respect, trust and a shared lust for life.
Stella made her mark in more ways than one. People wanted to be with her. She was warm. She was loving. She listened. She enjoyed the little things from a good coffee, to baking for her daughters, to turning her music up to 11, to curling up with a book. She was positive, never complaining about all the crap that life can dole out. She wasn’t afraid to say what she thought, but was humble, and never imposed her opinion on others (unless correcting the factual data of a story being told by Bill:). She was a go-to source of reason, and an anchor for her friends and family.
Stella was wiser than they come, and shaped the experiences and learning of family, friends, and students. She really liked teaching young children – a journey she began shortly after arriving in Canada from Scotland at the age of 18. She got such joy from witnessing how little ones behave, think, and go about their day moment to moment. Children in her presence felt safe, secure and loved. She instilled confidence and provided a compass for so many.
Most of all, our Stella led life boldly, on her own terms, truly living it to the fullest. Though she left us too soon, we feel her presence and love all around us. We can only hope to carry her beauty onwards as we move forward in this life. Darling Stella, in the words of Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
In keeping with Stella’s wishes, a private celebration of life will be held with close family and friends. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to The Good Shepherd or Food4Kids Hamilton
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard (Dick) on August 7th. Predeceased by his parents Violet and Samuel Walters. Loving husband of Judy. Proud father of Elizabeth (Rick) Marinelli, David (Anne) and Richard (Amanda). He loved his 7 grandchildren, Sam, Richard, Mike, Abby, Tom, Jason and Spencer and always enjoyed hearing of their achievements and aspirations on their visits. Very recently he was so pleased to be able to greet his new great grand-daughter Charlotte. Will be kindly remembered by his sister-in-law Arlene Book and her family.
Dick’s career initiated at United Gas and culminated as President of Origin and Cause (Fire Investigating).
Travelling with friends and having great New Year’s Eve dinner parties were very fond memories for Dick. Over the years, he had numerous fishing trips with a number of fishing buddies.
Special thanks go to Dr. N. Hambly at the Firestone Respirology Unit, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Dr. R. Black, Family Doctor. The family also really appreciated the compassionate care given by the St. Joseph’s Home Care team, especially Joanne. Special thank you to the Hamilton Family Health Palliative Care Team.
Cremation has taken place. There will be a visitation at Turner Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas, on Wednesday, August 18th from 11 am – 1:30 pm followed by a short service.
