Obituary of Anthony Randall Chenel

It is with great sadness that the family of Anthony "Tony" Randall Chenel of Hawkesbury, announce his passing, peacefully at home on February 15th, 2025, at the age of 81.

Tony will be sadly missed by his wife Lynne (née Amey) of more than 58 years, his daughter Deborah Lee (Erwin Jackl), his son Andrew Clyde (Elisabeth Arbaud), his grandchildren Cameron Mark George Chenel (Jihye Park) and Anysha Lee Chenel (Eddie Jones) and his half-brother Keith Clements of London, England. Tony also leaves behind a sister-in-law Susan Liberale (née Amey) as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.

The family would like to thank the staff of Bayshore at Home Care as well as Dr. Rossbach for the excellent care and attention they gave to Tony.

Friends and family are invited to attend a visitation from 10 to 11 a.m. at St Paul's Presbyterian Church, 168 John Street, Hawkesbury, Ontario, on Tuesday, March 4th, 2025, followed by a service at 11 a.m.

Tony was a man of many passions, each one reflecting his love for life. He shared a special bond with his wife, and together, they traveled the world, enjoying countless cruises and scenic train rides to places both near and far. For 19 years, Tony served as a volunteer firefighter for Dollard-des-Ormeaux, a role he was deeply proud of. He thrived on helping others and found immense joy in the camaraderie of his fellow firefighters, always giving his best. Outside of his service, Tony was an avid amateur photographer, capturing the world through his lens with an artist’s eye for detail. Tony will be immensely missed by all who knew him.

For those who wish, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.

A Tree of Remembrance in Tony's honour will be planted in the McAlpine Forever Forest, in Vankleek Hill.
