We are so sorry for the loss of Uncle Paul. I have fond memories of sleep overs and time spent by the pool as a kid. Uncle Paul was a fun and loving dad and he will be missed.

My condolences to Carole and all the members of the family. I knew Paul from his volunteer work at the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. He was a person who cared for our neighbours in need.
Rest in Peace
Paul has now joined our merciful and loving Father and is in a better place. May his soul rest in peace. Wishing you Carole the strength and peace and comfort for your big loss .
Grace and God Bless,

While Paul sings with the choir of angels, we remember how well he served others with love, respect, justice, and joy to enhance their lives.
Carole and Family: Growing up close to each other, Paul and his Brothers, Vaughan & Terry were like the “little” brothers my Husband, Bill never had. Over the years we have had many wonderful times with Paul & Carole with fond memories. Rest in Peace Paul, you will be missed. Love: Pat Poole and The Poole Family.
My condolences to you Aunt Carole and all the family. I have some very fond memories over the years of all the times the extended family came together to celebrate and make great memories. Such as Christmas over the years, the Lundy Picnics and yes even the time when I was 10 years old up at Cannon Cottages in Bancroft, learning how to waterski. Uncle Paul will be dearly missed. I pray that you and the family will find strength and peace in god’s love. May Uncle Paul rest in eternal peace.
To the Lundy Family:
My deepest condolences to you at this time. May Paul rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing that will last forever.
Best regards,
Meg Feres
Our sincere condolences to Carole and family. Losing a loved one is very hard. May God give you all strength and courage to overcome this difficult time. We will always cherish the fond memories we shared with Paul. May he rest in peace. Monique Lundy and family
Mr Lundy was my accounting teacher at Mackenzie in the mid-90s. I remember him being very kind and fair. My condolences to his family.
My deepest condolences to Carole and family during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
Our condolences Carole, Michelle, Robert, Christine. So many fond memories of our children growing up in Blessed Trinity. Thanksgiving at the cottage, walking the woods singing “Love letters in the sand”. Paul was a soft spoken, kind, disarming man who had the ability to put all at rest. Our love to all Fran and Lloyd Cooper
My heartfelt condolences to Carole, Michelle, Christine, Robert and the rest of the family!
I’m so very sorry for your loss!
I met Paul only a few times in Canada, but I felt right away what a wonderful, hospitable and witty person he is, with a great and fine sense of humor and a twinkle in his eyes!
I’ll always treasure the few wonderful days together here in Germany Black Forest and lake Constance when he toured Europe.
Es war schön, dass ich Dich kennenlernen durfte!
In Gedanken bei Dir und Deiner Familie
Beate
Our condolences to your family. Mr. Lundy was a kind, caring, and thoughtful person. We will always remember his wit, humour, positivity. He will be missed but never forgotten.
Dearest Aunt Carole, Michelle, Robert and Christine,
Sincere condolences on the passing of Uncle Paul. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Sorry to hear about Paul’s passing. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Mr. Lundy was my Accounting teacher at Mackenzie in the mid-90’s. I remember him always being very kind and fair. My condolences to the family.
To me, Mr. Lundy (never Paul) will always be the magic wintry light of a 7am hockey practice, and the pat on the back and the encouraging words at the door going on or coming off the ice; the hours splashing on the grass at the edge of the Lundys’ backyard pool, playing tunes too loud, sometimes accompanied by hidden hedge beer (in case he got home earlier than expected); my introduction to go-karts, and boat-driving, unwittingly teaching me to love the smell of boat gas, and camp fires, and Pic smoke rising from a card table over a cribbage game, after a rewritten-Paul Simon-singalong; he’s Rocky III, and a white knuckle car-filled ride ‘home’ from the theatre on black winding cottage country roads; he’s getting a turn ‘driving’ the Aspen wagon on Jennifer (was it?) ‘the small street where it’s still safe for the 11-year-olds to steer the car’ with the other kids all piled in the back; or he’s that time when Rob and I were 14 or 15 and Mr. Lundy screeched around the corner, to find us walking along Forest Grove, without a care in the world at 5:30am.
Dear Carole, Rob, Christine, Michelle and family – thank you for sharing Paul with me – he was a big part of my childhood, and I will never forget him.
Carole, Michelle, Rob, Christine and family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Cousin Paul will be remembered for his kindness and genuine warmth, and the lives he touched. Sending love and strength your way.
With deepest sympathy,
Jen

Carole, I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Paul and his brothers visiting us. My deepest sympathy to you, Michelle, Robert and Christine. I will keep all of you in my heart and prayers.
Paul was a gentle gentleman in every sense of the word. He cared sincerely about everyone in his circles of friends, and said nothing negative about anyone. He was an excellent teacher because he loved his calling, and treated all students with respect. We have all lost a man who truly mattered in our worlds.
Carole and family – I’m so sorry to hear of Paul’s death. I know Carole that you’ll be able to depend on the strength of your family at this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Michelle and family …
We are very sorry to hear about your father’s passing. Please accept our sincere sympathies and condolences.
Aunt Carole, Michelle, Robert, and Christine
Our deepest condolences on the passing of Uncle Paul. We have very fond memories of the times we spent together at Christmas time, family celebrations, and picnics. Such wonderful times. Uncle Paul was so kind-hearted, he will be dearly missed.
I remember the time when I was a young girl at the Cannon Cottages in Bancroft, and my dear uncle teaching me how to water-ski, some days we just cruised the lake. Very memorable time for me.
Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. May loving memories bring you peace and comfort today and always. Sending prayers and our love.
May Uncle Paul rest in peace.
So sorry to hear about Paul’s passing. He was part of the reason teaching at Mackenzie was so much fun. He had a wonderful sense of humour and was a terrific teacher, well loved by his students. My deepest sympathies to the Lundy family.
He was my favourite teacher from Mackenzie and started me on the path of becoming a Chartered Accountant in the 80s. May his memory be a blessing to his family
Dear Rob & Lundy Family, I am so sorry for your deep loss. May the soul of your beloved father rest in peace for all of Eternity. I will keep you all in my prayers. With love & prayers, God bless,Keri-Lee
Paul was one of the most decent persons I have ever met. A beautiful “river skater” as a hockey player and according to my kids a good guy in the classroom. Rest easy Connie, I am sure you will find a game in the sky.
Carole, Michelle, Robert and Christine:
My sincere condolences on your loss. Paul was had a great sense of humour. He will be missed.
Tim Lundy and family
I am so sorry for your loss. My heartfelt condolences to you, Mrs. Lundy, and the entire family.
I was so very fortunate to spend time with Mr. Lundy tagging along with Michelle to a cottage weekend, dinners at the house and even the movies. He was kind and witty and so interesting to talk with. It warmed my heart to be referred to as “the 3rd daughter” to such a lovely person. I will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace.
With deepest sympathy,
Rosa
I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Lundy family.
May you find comfort in cherished memories and may his legacy of love & strength be a guiding light during this difficult time.
May he Rest in Eternal Peace.
With deepest sympathies 💐

Carole, Michelle, Robert & Christine: words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for the loss of Uncle Paul. i will always remember his rosy red cheeks! He was always energetic and funny! we always looked forward to our summer trips to Ontario and have many fond memories of the “races” in the pool. Take care of each other like you took care of him
There’s something special about the families that you grow up with – people who know not just you, but your parents and your siblings too. Mr. Lundy was a special character from that time for me. He was the dad that always cracked jokes, that made it easy to talk and never let on that he knew what we were up to. At today’s visitation, the room was filled to overflowing with people whose life he had impacted. He was a special man. Condolences from me and the rest of the Xuereb family to Mrs. Lundy, Christine, Rob, Michelle, and the rest of the family.

Dear Michelle. Robert, Carole and Family,
Lynn and I are so sorry to learn of the passing of your dear father and husband.
Paul is in our thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,
