PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, June 5, 1990 -- 29 Obituary Bruce Mountjoy Cartwright lost a respected citizen when Bruce Mountjoy passed suddenly into eternal rest at his home in Blackstock on March 18, 1990. He died as he liv- ed, quietly and peacefully. He was in his seventy-third year. The service at Blackstock United Church was conducted by Rev. Dale Davis. "A Celebration of the Life of Bruce Mountjoy." His niece Heather Manning played a tribute by violin, niece Linda Kyte was at the organ, and grandson Allen Hudson played a bagpipe farewell at the graveside. Bruce Norman Mountjoy was born October 2, 1917 to Norman Mountjoy and Margaret Ferguson, the first boy after four sisters. He was the namesake of his uncle Bruce Ferguson killed in action months previously. He spent his boyhood years on the family farm on Concession 2 of Cartwright Township, and at- tended No. 1 Cartwright Public School and Blackstock Continua- tion School. Life on the farm where horse and plow were preferred was not for Bruce. He was fascinated all his life by airplanes and everything mechanical and motorized. "If I could not fly a plane, I would invent one," he said. Instead, he spent four years during the war at De Havilland Aircraft Plant assembling wooden Mosquito bombers. In 1942 he married Jean Mann- ing, a graduate from the Toronto General Hospital School of Nurs- ing. They resided for twelve years at Langstaff. Bruce went into the home building business there an in Thornhill and he continued trade at Blackstock where he and Jean came to live with their five children in 1956. He also served the community by maintaining the Cartwright High School, the Union Cemetery, Cadmus, and the Blackstock Arena. Bruce had a quiet zest for life and took pleasure in simple things. Early family nature walks became retirement camping trips with Jean throughout Ontario and the Haliburton Forest. He keenly felt her death from cancer in 1989. Bruce was an observer of human nature and had an enquir- ing, inventive mind. 'He was an appreciator of the past and became a student and collector of antiques and memorabilia in a wide interest range. Over the years he participated in and con- tributed to heritage events in- cluding .the Blackstock Fair and the Scugog Shores Museum. Bruce, with his friendly grin was a familiar sight in his Model A Ford on the biways and en- virons of Cartwright which he knew so well. He was a (grand)father who specialized in rides in the rumble seat. In 1987 he led a motor cavalcade of Ferguson descendents to view the original homestead and lands of their forefathers for the 50th Ferguson Reunion Picnic. His own account of the event appeared in the Port Perry Star. During his last year, a Memoir Writing course encouraged his writing skills. He took pleasure in making some of his stories and anecdotes into small books which he gave as gifts to family. One local recollection was published in the Newcastle paper. 'He re- tained in his conversation and in his writing a youthful enthusiasm and sense of fun which many peo- ple leave behind when they become adults." With Bruce there were no generation gaps. Bruce handed on his values of hard work and honesty to his children of whom he was very proud. His seventy-two years were a gift for which we are very thankful. Bruce Mountjoy was a man worth knowing. Sadly missed and lovingly remember Hudson of Néstleton, sons Ray Mountjoy of Stouffville, Gary Mountjoy of Whitby, Paul Moun- tjoy of Brampton, twelve grand- children, and sisters Lela Wannan of Burlington, Muriel Hoskin and Aileen Byers of Blackstock, and Audrey McNeil of Toronto. Predeceased by Ivan Mountjoy and Hazel Belyea. IF YOUR AD WAS HERE Over 20,000 people could have read it this week. That's a lot of potential customers for your business.
