Obituary
CASSIDY, Julie (nee Landriau) Peacefully at the Annex Retirement Residence on Thursday, December 9, 2010 at age 80. Julie, beloved wife of Tony. Loving sister of Nora and her husband John Martyn, and the late Ann. Julie will be warmly remembered by her nephews Greg and Michael Martyn, and their families. The Cassidy family and friends will miss her hospitality, her story telling and warm sense of humour. Julie was an active member of the Annex Residents’ Association, and is remembered by several friends in the Annex for her advocacy, her leadership, and a love of her community. Julie worked tirelessly to learn about her family’s history in Canada. She created an extensive family tree dating back to the first members of her family who settled in Quebec in the 1700s. This record has become a family treasure, and will be shared with genealogy associations to ensure the records survive for future generations. We welcome family and friends to visit on Sunday, December 12, 2010 between 5:00 and 9:00pm at the Cardinal Funeral Home at 366 Bathurst Street (north of Dundas). Funeral service in the Funeral Home chapel on Monday at 11:00am. Interment to follow. Julie’s family would like to thank the nurses and staff at The Annex Retirement Residence for their compassion and care. In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.Visitation

Dear Uncle Tony,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Julie. I realize that we do not keep in touch so I was unaware that Julie was not well. Wishing you all the best.

Dear Tony and all of our Canadian Cassidys: We send our love and prayers to you on the loss of Julie. We will remember her laugh, her stories and her enjoyment of our many reunions.
The wry smile at catching us off-guard with her sense of humor. Please know that you are in our thoughts at this time. We will send a donation to Little Sister of the Poor in her honor. With great love and a big Irish hug,
Barb and Pat Cassidy

Tony and Julie's Family. My deepest condolences to you in this time of change, happening so suddenly. I remember Julie so much as a woman of humour, a very socially conscious person, very involved in her community...But mostly i remember her for her kind heart, her love of frogs, the stones she polished that fascinated me as a child, her amazing organization of the famous Annex Fall Fair, our shared love of food, and the courage and humour she had in facing life's challenges. She was also always very kind to both my mum and dad and she is remembered and missed by our family.

We will remember Julie, her beautiful smile and her sparkling eyes. Everytime we saw Julie, we felt warm inside and we learned something new.

My Dearest Aunt Julie,
I wish I could be there to say goodbye. I wish also that time had not passed so quickly, because it seems our time with you was far too short. You gave me such great memories from my time in your house, a place of fascination, education and love. You and Uncle Tony have always been the most amazing and independent couple. Thank you, Julie, for taking care of Tony, of us, of my Dad, of your mom, of the Cassidy family history.
I hope that somewhere right now, you are being taken care of so gently, and that all of your pain is gone.
All my Love,
Kathleen

Dear Tony,
Our deep condolances to you during this time of great loss for you. Having only met Julie once, we still recall her sense of humor and kindness to us when we were with the family in Penticton. Our prayers are with you.
Fondly,

Dear Uncle Tony,
We are very sorry to hear of Aunt Julie's passing. I remember while we were growing up that she was always fun to talk to and we enjoyed her stories.
Although I never get to Toronto, with living in Tokyo and my Dad and Mom in Western Canada, i remember that summer on your street and the fun we had.
Shino and I, and little Emily, are praying that you will be OK.
Love, Peter

Dear Tony,
I am sorry to hear of Julie's passing. Some of my earliest memories are of you and Julie and the old VW van, pulling up into Ottawa on your way to places unknown. It was always a treat to go to Toronto and spent time with the both of you. Your warmth and kindness will always be remembered.
Much Love,
Jacqueline

Dear Tony,
i am so very sorry to hear of the death of your wife Julie. I received an e-mail from David telling me about it.
It was very interesting to read about her life on this website. It sounds like she was a wonderful person and that you will miss her very much.
I apologize for being unable to attend the funeral as I am not in Toronto at that time.
My deepest condolences to you and to Julie's family.
Warm regards,

We will remember Julie as a warm hearted sister-in-law and aunt who loved all her nieces and nephews wholeheartedly. She not only admired them as they grew up, but always seemed to know what they were up to! Julie's health was often precarious, but still she did her best to care for Tony during his ordeals.

Dear Uncle Tony:
Sending my love and heartfelt condolences at Julie's passing. I am so sorry, I didn't even know she was ill, so this has come as a surprise to me.
I wish I could be there with you but please know that I send big hugs and that I am thinking about you.
love Wendy

Marie has just told me of Julie's passing. It reminded me of my short visits with both you, Tony and Julie, last summer when I was in Toronto for work. I feel very lucky to have had that time to visit with both of you and remember better times...I am sure that she is in a happier place now.
Tony, my thoughts are with you and I will be thinking of both of you on Monday. You are both in my prayers. If I were there now, I'd give you a big hug.

We are sorry to hear of Julie's passing.
We will always remember Julie for her quest on family members when she shared the information she found regarding our families' ancesters (Kelly, Ricard, Fournier, etc.)
Thanks to her dedication, she saw that the 3 Fournier sisters (Marie-Hélène, Marie-Thérèse & Marie-Alice, also known as Lili) were able to swim, dive, perform 1st aid through the Red Cross swimming program at Lake Panage. There too, she enjoyed sing-alongs and cooking chili with guests and family when people gathered there in the summer.
Although opportunities to visit were reduced over the years, each encounter was packed with energy and left us with warm feelings in our hearts.
Our prayers are with you and your kin.
Marie & Richard Gibeault + Marie-Alice (Lili) Fournier

My dear friend Tony, I want to thank you for calling me today. I knew that Julie was ill but it still came as a shock to me. As a former resident of Albany, I got to know both of you very well and, as you know, had been in your home several times. I found Julie to be a very warm and caring person. I know that she will be greatly missed by all of us but at the same time we pause to rejoice in her life and that she is now with the Lord. Peace be with you all. Peter Symington
