It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Thomas (Tom) E. Lundy on March 23, 2026, at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie, surrounded by his loving family.
Tom was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Janice Lundy, and a proud and caring father to his five children: Ryan Lundy (Valerie), Stephanie Lundy, Michelle Papineau, Denise Wright (Danny), and Nicole Duffy (Ron). He was a cherished grandfather to 10 grandchildren and a proud great-grandfather to 5 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him immense pride and joy.
Tom dedicated much of his life to serving his community. As Councillor for Ward 1 in the Archipelago, he worked tirelessly to represent his community with integrity and compassion. His commitment to public service extended to his roles on the District of Parry Sound Social Services Administration Board (DSSAB), the Parry Sound Public Library Board, and the West Parry Sound Community Police Advisory Committee, among many other community causes and projects.
Beyond his civic contributions, Tom was a dedicated Mason for 28 years. He was a chartered member of Goodfellows Lodge No.748 in Parry Sound, Georgian North District. Tom was also a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason and a member of the Valley of Barrie for the past 25 years.
Tom joined Rameses Shriners 23 years ago at the spring ceremonial in Owen Sound, Ontario. He served as Assistant Rabban with the Shriners and was elected to the Rameses Divan in 2023.
Tom was a referee for 17 years with the Canadian Hockey Association at the highest levels of amateur hockey. Hockey was a passion of Tom’s and after serving as a referee he held several leadership roles with O.H.A. and O.H.F. and was elected in 1998 to the Hockey Canada Board of Directors as Chair of Junior Council.
Tom will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to his family, his strong sense of community, and his generous spirit. He leaves behind a legacy of service, kindness, and commitment that will not be forgotten.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
