Acton/Georgetown, Friday, May 9, 2008 33 KENNEDY, Joseph Herbert Peacefully at Georgetown Hospital on May 5th, 2008 in his 99th year. He is survived by his loving wife Peggy Sheila Kennedy (nee Reeve) with whom he was married for 72 wonderful years, his son Brian Kennedy and wife Lynn, his daughter Janet Mavor and husband Leslie, his grandchildren Beth McLay (Rusty), Doug Kennedy (Sonja), Sarah Fraser (James), Christie Ferguson (Steve), and Robert Thomson, as well as his great grandchildren Katie, Joey, Livia, Liam, Ben, Abby, Cayden and Kailey. Joseph and his predeceased sisters Mildred and Gladys were born and raised in Wheatley, Ontario. Following several teaching positions, his graduation from the University of Western Ontario, a period as a school principal and many enjoyable years as a school inspector in the northern Ontario communities of Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Huntsville, he joined the Department of Education at Queen's Park. This was followed by another promotion to Regional Superintendent centred in North Bay where his re- sponsibilities included all school systems from kindergarten to grade 13 in the North Eastern area of the Province. He was honoured to have a new school in Matheson named after him. He was also pleased to contribute in its formative years to Nipiss- ing University in North Bay where he served on its first Board of Governors. In retirement years (38 of them) Joe and Peggy spent some of their best times at their cottage on Eagle Lake in the Sundridge and South River areas of Parry Sound District. He will be remembered for many things...his integrity, reliability, honesty, sense of humour, love of his family and more than anything else... he was a gentleman. The family would like to thank Christoff and Ursula Som- mer the owners of their excellent Mountainview Retirement Home in Georgetown and their fine staff members. The family also would like to acknowledge the compassion and care of Dr. J.P. Van Bendegem, nurse Lynn Harmer of Mountainview, the care givers in the palliative care unit at Georgetown Hospital as well as the nursing staff members of Compassionate Care.

He was a dear friend and a true Golden Retriever. Not a day went by that he did not make all of us smile or laugh out loud. He was always quick with a smile and a paw for anyone who would stop and talk to him. He was always happy and never met anyone he did not like. He never barked because he never had anything to complain about. He enjoyed his walks and it gave him a chance to meet more people and hopefully their dogs. The last year was tough on him as he several opera- tions (7) but he never complained and his tail always kept wagging. Finally it was cancer that took him from us. Casey touched all our hearts and will never be forgotten. "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our life whole".
