JOSEPH M. HYDE 1929 - 2011 On Wednesday, January 19, 2011, Joseph Murray Hyde passed away at the age of 81 after a long and courageous battle with lung disease. He will be lovingly remembered and forever missed by his beloved and devoted wife of 59 years, Doreen; his sister, Leta; his children, Catherine (Richard), Cam (Connie), Gavin, and Karen (Bill); his nephew, Jon (Carol); his grandchildren, Johanna (Ryan), Charlie (Emily), Erin (Kevin), Beth, and Kelly; and his great-nephew and great-niece, Jack and Annika; along with many other nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Joe was predeceased by his parents, Joseph Clarence and Lila, and his sister, Margaret. Joe was a proud Freemason and he was also a member of the Shrine of North America, Khartum Temple and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of Canada, from which he received the Thirty-third Degree. Joe very much enjoyed his volunteer work through the Masons driving people receiving cancer treatment. He loved spending summers at the cottage at Barren Lake where he and Doreen created a second home for their family. He enjoyed card games, particularly bridge, canasta and gin rummy. Above everything, Joe loved his family and friends and was happiest when he was spending time with them. Joe's family would like to extend their profound thanks and appreciation to Dr. Janice Richman-Eisenstat, family physicians Dr. Ron Davey and Dr. J. Partyka, as well as the staff of WRHA Palliative Care Program, particularly Kate Hockridge. Memorial service will be held 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 25 at St. Mary's Road United Church, 613 St. Mary's Road, the Rev. Susan Butler-Jones officiating.
