Arthur William Joynt

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. I taught with Art at Burnham School back in the day. The staff room was always upbeat with lots of laughter once Art came through the door. He had a great zest for life. "Rest in peace my friend."

Dear Velma, Derek, Bryn and Dorelle. It is with a heavy heart that I learned of Arthur's passing. My condolences to all of you at this sad time. I will always very remember Arthur's smile and cheerfulness that brightened the mood and day of anyone around. He will be missed.

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.

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.
