Obituary of Monty Montcalm
Montcalm, Roch “Monty”
Peacefully at home in Lagoon City on October 24th 2019 at the age of 82. Loving life partner of James Antonette for 50+ years. Born in Montreal, educated in Toronto, Monty excelled at public speaking and had an excellent sales career. The last 5 years before retirement in October 2001, he was a commissionaire stationed with Citizenship & Immigration in Toronto (a job he loved dearly). On retirement he and his partner spent the winter months on a sailboat in the British Virgin Islands and the summer months on a power boat in Toronto Outer Harbour. After 3 years Costa Rica became their winter base and Lagoon City their summer place. Monty was a happy man and often said how much he loved the house and it’s waterfront location. He is survived by his life partner Jim, his 5 nephews Richard, Pierre (Betty), Denis (Donna), John (Rose), and George (Braham). He will be dearly remembered by Jen Loney, and his nieces Cherie Jacob (Ted), and Kym Burt (Paul), as well as his many grandnieces and nephews; also longtime close friends Iris, Stephen, Max, Frasier, and Rob. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Monty’s life will be held at the Simcoe Funeral Home, 38 James St. E Orillia on Saturday November 23rd, 2019 from 12 noon until 2 p.m. Tributes will be held at 12:30 p.m. As an expression of sympathy memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
