<div itemprop="description"><br>It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear father, grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfather Arthur Honeysett. Arthur peacefully passed away at TBRHSC in the early morning of Friday, September 30th, 2016 at the age of 95. <br> <br> <br>Art was born in Dauphin, Manitoba on April 29th, 1921. As a young man he moved to Fort William where he worked at Can Car and met and married the love of his life, Gwen, on July 29th, 1943. Art enlisted in the Navy and after World War II Art returned to Fort William where he worked for Canada Post until retirement in 1980. After raising 4 children Art and Gwen enjoyed wintering in Texas for 25+ years where they made many friends. Gwen and Art celebrated 70 years of marriage before Gwen’s passing in 2014. <br> <br> <br>Dad was an avid hockey fan and enjoyed cheering for Gwen’s opposing teams. Art’s life was centered around his family. <br> <br> <br>He never ceased to amaze people with his quick witted one liners right to the very end. He had a great sense of humour. <br> <br> <br>Left to mourn Art’s passing are daughter Debbie (Tony) D’Arienzo; son Doug (Norma) Honeysett; daughter-in-law Marsha Honeysett; 10 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. <br> <br> <br>Art was predeceased by his parents, Gertrude and Herbert Honeysett, sisters Bessie Lowery and Hetty Stephenson, son Colin Honeysett, daughter Carol Krebs and son-in-law Wayne Krebs. <br> <br> <br>Special thanks to Lakehead Manor who assisted Dad with his day-to-day care. We would especially like to thank the 5th floor staff and his roommate, Billy, for their sincere care and compassion. Also, thank you to Dr. Dupuis, the emergency staff and the staff on 3A at TBRHC for their care and compassion. <br> <br> <br>Funeral services will be held at Jenkens Funeral Home on Saturday, October 8th, 2016 at 11am. A luncheon will follow in Jenkens Reception Centre. Private interment for the family at Sunset Memorial Gardens will be held later. <br> <br> <br>In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations to the charity of your choice or to the Northern Cancer Research Foundation would be much appreciated by the family. <br> <br> <br> <br>“Oceans of LOVE and a KISS on every Wave” <br> <br> <br> <br></div>
