Mr. Arthur Joseph Lemieux, age 85 years, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Thursday, April 5, 2018 in St. Joseph's Hospice, after a short but courageous battle with cancer.

They were soon married and settled in Nipigon to raise their family. Arthur worked at Norampac in Red Rock until his retirement in 1998. He enjoyed his daily walks, blueberry picking, his two special friends Stewie and Spike and especially his great grandchildren Ben and Izzy.

Arthur is survived by sons, Brent (Susan), Cory and Terry; daughter, Sue (Sandy); grandchildren Matthew (Randi-Rae), Nicole (Matthew), Morgan and Kendra; great grandchildren Benjamin and Isabella, sister Carmel and brothers Raymond and Kenneth.
