It is with love and grateful hearts that we remember a life well lived. Arthur William Joynt passed away peacefully in his 90th year at the Golden Plough Lodge on Monday, May 12, 2025. His legacy will live on in those he loved the most: his wife of 62 years Velma (nee Rea), his children Derek (Anita), Bryn (Bonnie) and Dorelle, as well as his treasured grandchildren, Alyssa, Kylan, and William.
Arthur will be deeply missed by his brother Neil (Margaret), sister-in-law Beatrice (the late Wilbert), and other cherished members of the Joynt and Rea families. In death, he is reunited with his loving parents, Thomas and Hilda, sister Margaret (Cecil) Holder and brother Wilbert.
In his youth, Arthur spent time in 4H (raising prize winning chickens!), he loved to dance, play sports and socialise with friends.
After high school, Arthur attended Ottawa Teachers’ College and later Queen’s University where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree. Arthur was a life member of the Teachers’ Federation and was recognized in 2007 for 50 years of teaching (36 in the classroom and 14 additional years as a supply teacher). Teaching was a rewarding career that led to many lasting friendships with former colleagues and students, including some from the English as a Second Language classes he taught.
Arthur embodied the values of gratitude, generosity and selflessness in all he did. Over the years, Arthur served on the Cobourg library board, was president of the Queen’s Alumni Association, was the manager of his son’s soccer team, and was an organizer of the Driftwood Bridge Club.
As an active parishioner at St. Peter’s Church, Arthur sang in the choir, was a member of the sidesman team, served as treasurer of the Men’s Club, and was involved as a group committee member of Scouts Canada.
Arthur loved to travel and enjoyed meeting people along the way. Over the years, he and Velma cruised with family to the Caribbean, the Panama Canal and Alaska. He flew ‘across the pond’ a number of times to visit England and Scotland. When not setting sail or visiting the British Isles, he enjoyed camping and many road trips throughout Canada and the United States.
Arthur will be remembered as someone who greeted everyone with a warm and friendly smile. He loved making new friends, including those he met at Bingo, euchre and bridge, both within the community and at Palisade Gardens.
Arthur’s family was the centre of his life, and he cherished every moment he spent with them including holidays, game nights, daily phone calls, and watching movies with his grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the numerous doctors, nurses, personal support workers, and other healthcare professionals who helped care for Arthur throughout his journey.
Family and friends are invited to share their memories of Arthur during visitation at MacCoubrey’s Funeral Home, Cobourg, on Thursday, May 15, 2025 from 6 pm to 9 pm. Arthur’s life will be celebrated at St. Peter’s Anglican Church on Friday, May 16,, 2025 at 11 am. A private family burial will follow the reception.
Those wishing to make a donation in remembrance of Arthur are kindly asked to consider giving to St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Cobourg or the Northumberland Hills Hospital.

Dear Velma, Derek, Bryn and Dorelle and family, I am very sorry to hear the news of Arthur's passing. He was very well respected by my parents (Roy and Yvonne) and was very kind and supportive to me as a teacher learning the ropes.

Dear Velma, My condolences to you and your family on the passing of Arthur. I enjoyed playing bridge with him many times at the Driftwood Bridge Club and appreciated his encouragement and lovely personality. Regards, Virginia
My heartfelt condolences to Velma and the family. I met Arthur and Velma at a school in Cobourg years ago when I worked as an E.A. I remember Arthur had a beautiful voice when we all sang O Canada. His students liked being in his class. He was kind and respectful to everyone. He will be missed by us all.
I first met Art as an employee of the school board while on D'Arcy Street. I remember his wonderful personality. He was always cheerful and positive and enjoyable to speak to. I'm sorry to hear of Art's passing. He will be greatly missed by many. Condolences to the family during this time of grief. Sincerely Joanne & Yvon Lauzon
Dear Velma and Family, Our sincere condolences on the passing of Art. I have many fond memories of Mr. Joynt as a wonderful teacher in Grade 7 and 8 at C.R.

Always willing to contribute his share in any delegation while, above all, remaining positive and up-beat. Rest in peace, my good friend !!! We will all miss you !!! Bob & Grietje McBride

My sincerest condolences to his family. I had him as a supply teacher when I was going to elementary school (C.R Gummow). When you saw him standing outside the door greeting the students as you came in, you knew it was going to be a good day. He really loved what he did and the fact he made a positive impact and impression on me at such a young age, as a supply teacher, is a testament to his character. May he rest in peace.
Velma, Derek, Brynn, Dorrelle and the entire Joynt family. Art lived a full life! 50 years in the teaching field reflected his love and passion for the welfare of his students. Many young children reaped the benefits of having Art for a teacher. We're glad he had numerous opportunities to travel to different parts of the world. Art had strong ties with St. Peter's Church in a variety of roles and his efforts were greatly appreciated. We enjoyed crossing paths with Art periodically and catching up on family life. He will be sadly missed by the many people he touched over the years. Cherish the many memories of Art and keep them close to your heart. Sincere condolences. Arthur William Joynt February 15, 1936 - May 12, 2025 "Rest In Peace"
I'm so sorry to hear of Arthur's passing. When I came to his house as his PSW, he was always so nice and spoke so highly and proudly of his family.

We were very saddened to learn Art passed away. We pray for Velma and her family in his difficult time. We have many fond memories of Art, Velma and their children. We first met almost 40 years ago when our son Lawrence and Brynn first billeted at each others home for soccer tournaments. It has been a long and wonderful friendship with letters at Christmas season. Art and Bill always talked about their scouting experiences. This year was saddened about Art's condition. We were glad Art made his 90th birthday as that was his wish.
Dear Byrn, Bonnie, Alyssa and Kaylan, My heartfelt love to all of you, and to your extended family….on the passing of a much loved and cherished father and grandpa. No matter how long our years of living, we are never ready to relinquish a parent into their eternal rest. Your dad, Bryn, was a talented and beloved man… so skilled in his professional life, so cherished by all his friends, and so very much loved by his family. Truly, it’s always hard to find the words for comfort, and yet he lived long and well on this good earth, left and an everlasting mark in his community, and etched upon your hearts a love that no one can replace. Much love to all of you as you grieve, miss him, but also celebrate his life, his laugh and joy, and tuck his love in that place in your heart - that gives you comfort, that “Dad is at peace”, in the eternity of God. ❤️Judy Oliver
Derek, we’re sending our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Not everyone talks about their parents in day-to-day life, but you always found a way to share a story, a memory, or a dad joke that traced back to your dad. It’s always been clear how much he meant to you and how deeply he shaped the person you are today. It’s rare and special to see that kind of bond, and we hope you find comfort in knowing how proud he must be of everything you’ve accomplished. His presence will always be with you - in your stories, your leadership, and yes, even in your perfectly-timed dad jokes. Sending lots of love from the Candybox Social Team.

To the Joynt family: may your hearts be comforted as we remember how fortunate we were that he graced our lives. Mr. Joynt was a favorite Grant Sine teacher of mine. What stuck me most was that he didn’t see us as merely students rather tomorrow’s leaders. How proud he would have been to learn of all that we achieved. I was a senior IT consultant and manager, and attributed my success to the academic foundation he influenced. There are countless others that would say the same. ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’ (Matthew 25:23). Mr. Joynt, you will be missed!

My deepest condolences to the Joynt family. Bryn’s dad… Mr. Joynt to me… always exuded such positivity. It’s remarkable how he not only put up with our band’s jamming (most likely ‘noise’) in the home’s basement, but he encouraged it! Mr. Joynt didn’t seem to have any limits when it came to support. A rare and precious soul is that for those around him. Wishing you strength and peace during this time.
Velma and family. Sincere condolences on the loss of your husband and father. Julius and Louise
My deepest condolences for your loss. I have many fond memories of Mr. Joynt, when visiting my friend Dorelle (xo) in high school. He always had a joke, big smile and a deep laugh and was always very kind. May he rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Mr. Joynt ! Sorry for your loss Velma and Family .
Art was such a friendly, fun person to be around and one of the best dancers in his younger days. He will be missed by all who were blessed to know him.
Mr. Joynt was a favorite teacher of mine for 2 years at grant sine school as well as teacher to 2 of my children later on.... he is fondly remembered as a great teacher and helped to shape the lives in a positive way of so many...
I have so many amazing and adoring memories of Mr. Joynt as a young girl attending Grant Sine Public School. I always had a soft spot for him and always will. I was so blessed meeting up with him one day at Walmart while he was zipping around on his scooter, and I was able to get a picture of him and I together. I will cherish that picture forever. My prayers are with you and your family, Mrs. Joynt. ( I still can never bring myself to call you by your first names, even though I'm an adult). So much love and respect for you both.
So sorry for your loss. Mr. Joynt was a great guy, he taught me at Grant Sine school and was a wonderful teacher. Later in life when I was no longer his student he was always friendly and stopped to have a chat. He will be missed.
Sending condolences and prayers for comfort to Arthur’s family. May you feel peace and love during your time of missing. We knew Arthur during some of his years. Sincerely, David and Kathy Howard
Velma & family: I am so sorry for your loss of a dear husband, father & grandfather. Art certainly enjoyed life and was so very proud of his family.

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of a dear husband and father. Janet and Malcolm
We have lost a true friend both personally and to the community. Many of our local Queen’s graduates got their ‘send off’ from Art. He will be missed.
I had the pleasure of caring for Arthur through homecare . It was always a joy to see him in the mornings—he had such a kind spirit, and I’ll always remember our chats about life and the weather. Thinking of his family and friends with heartfelt sympathy
To Mrs. Joynt, Dorelle, Derek and Anita, Bryn and Bonnie, Alissa, Kylan and William, the world has lost a good one. Growing up, our families were pretty darn close, and somewhat interchangeable! No Christmas Eve, or New Year's Eve passed without the fun and noise of our two families. The kid's table was always a raucous good time! I remember camping trips to Presqu'île, snowmobiling and toboganning. Dad and Mr. Joynt were always so much fun. It is hard to accept that they are gone, and we are still here trying to figure out how to go on without them. Good thing there are so many wonderful memories to hold on to. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you find your new "normal". Heidi and Pat Behan
Velma, my deepest condolences on the loss of Art. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely Linda Flindall.
Dear Velma and Family I served with Art for a few years on the Cobourg Public Library Board. Art was meticulous and thoughtful in his decisions regarding the library's best interests. His sense of humour and joy will be greatly missed God Bless
Art Joint, what can I say. Always a kind greeting, always a kind man. My condolences.
Dear Velma and Family. We were so saddened to hear of Arthur's passing. We have many happy memories of him through his years of teaching our boys and in more recent years through our church . We will miss him dearly.
Mrs Joint and family..please accept our sincere condolences.
Velma and Family So sorry to hear of your loss, Cherish all the great memories
My first meeting with Mr. Joynt was as my grade 5 teacher his first year teaching in Cobourg. He was a wonderful teacher and man of faith as he arranged for Rev. Bull to teach our class religion. When I next met Arthur it was a fellow parishioner of St. Peter’s in the late 1980’s. Whenever I saw him there was always a big smile and booming laugh. You will be missed by many. RIP Arthur. Sincere sympathy to you Velma and your family.

Dear Velma, Derek, Bryn and Dorelle, We were so sorry to hear of Art’s death. Although he faced serious health challenges in the past few years whenever we did see him he was unfailingly warm, full of fun and really interested the lives of our children and grandchildren. Very proud of his family, he was, above all, very kind and gave a lot of himself to others. An engaging, affectionate humorous man who never failed to help when he could. He will be really missed by many people for his unheralded acts of kindness and his love of life.
