Tony LAHEY

LAHEY, Tony Tony left our lives unexpectedly on Wednesday, December 12 in Chelsea, Quebec. Born on December 19, 1960, Tony gave generously of his wisdom, warmth and humour to his family, friends and all who knew him. Beloved husband of Donelda (Taylor) and proud and devoted father to Riannon and Gillian; loving son of Rita (McCoy) and Don (deceased); incomparable brother to Don (Yvonne Makosz), Sandy (Fred Armstrong), Lisa and Nicholas; and irresistible uncle to his many nieces and nephews. With life so rushed and courtesy elbowed by expedience, Tony always found time for a friendly word or to lend you his expert hand. Enthusiastic, caring and restlessly curious, Tony found constant excitement in life. He welcomed it with openness and shared it with great generosity. Builder, musician, architectural designer, craftsman, sailor, ingenious problem solver. And his family was the air he breathed. He will be sadly missed by us all and by his many friends and colleagues. Family and friends are invited to visit at the McGarry Memorial Chapel, 139 Valley Road, in Wakefield, Quebec on Saturday, December 15th, 2007 from 2 to 5pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated. Published in the Ottawa Citizen from 12/14/2007 - 12/15/2007
