It is with sad and broken hearts we said goodbye to our precious husband/dad/pop, Philip “Lloyd” Anstey at the ripe age of 90 years, but we know he has gone to a better place. He passed away peacefully at home in his sleep surrounded by his loving family.

Predeceased by his parents, Carl and Margaret, brothers Roy, Baby John and sister Ruby.

Leaving to mourn with precious memories are his wife Joyce of over 67 years of marriage and 5 children; Diane (George), Donna (Ron), Marilyn (Everett), Marven (Susan) and Sherri-Lee (Mick), and 15 grandchildren: Angie, Tanya, Jody, Jillian, Laura, Maria, Chad, Carla, Chelsea, Jordan, Kalyn, Lauren, Colin, Rebecca and Brett and step-grandchildren, Shannon, Brett, Meghan and Matthew.

As well, 10 great-grandchildren; Morgan, Rylee, Abigail, Audrey, Olivia, Ava, CJ and Chris, Nash and Serenity; 3 siblings, Neville (Shirley), Joan (Curtis), and Ethel. Along with a large circle of extended family and friends, lifelong neighbours, friends/coworkers from his years of working at Lewisporte Wholesalers, as well as their weekly card playing group (Kevin, Beatrice, Ken and Pat).

As per his wishes, there will be no memorial service and cremation will take place.

There will be a family celebration of life at a future date. In lieu of flowers, monetary donations can be made to St. Matthew’s United Church Cemetery Fund in Lewisporte.
