Blyth, Joseph (Joe) Ewing (Died)

Passed away peacefully with

his daughter Susan at his side

at her home on September 23,

2021 at the age of 86. Joe was

born in Glasgow Scotland on

February 9, 1935. He was the

4th of 5 children born to Alec

and Helen. When Joe was 10

his family moved to Edinburgh

where he grew up and was

indentured as a plumber. One

evening while out at the local

dance hall, Joe met the love of

his life, Betty Mansbridge.

Their courtship lasted a couple

of years before Betty's family

decided that Canada would be

their home. Joe followed, and

they were married in Toronto

63 years ago.

Joe and Betty together raised

three children and fostered

many friendships along the

way. Joe was active with the

Glasgow Rangers club of

Peterborough, Royal Canadian

legion as well as a respected

Mason. Many will remember

him for his loyalty, respect, his

sense of humour, caring and

joy in life.

Earlier this year, Joe and his

family were heartbroken when

his adored daughter Jennifer

passed, closely followed by the

passing of his beloved wife

Betty, and he missed them

terribly.

Joe will be greatly missed by

his son David (Camille) and his

daughter Susan (David).

Adored Grandpa of Michael

(Becky), Alex (Lucas), Julianne

(Justin), Kevin, Cydney (Luc),

Emma and Great Grandpa to

Ivy. Joe will be also missed by

his sister Eleanor and his

sisters-in-law in Scotland

(Margaret and Helen) and his

many cousins, nieces and

nephews in Canada and

Scotland.

Joe is predeceased by his

brothers Alec, Frank and

Alister. The family would like to

thank Dr. K Newton and the

many nurses, PSWs and care

coordinator Monica Wind for

their caring support.
