With profound sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Roy Lawless (Mookie), surrounded by his loving family, on November 30, 2024, at the age of 90. Born on September 28, 1934, in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Roy was the beloved son of Eldred and Lillian (deceased) and brother to Eldred Junior and Sheldon (deceased).
Roy is survived by his devoted wife, Rose Marie (69 years), and their eight children: Terry (Gary), Cathy (Camille), Dianne (Jeff, deceased), Donna (John, deceased), Mary-Leigh (Diego, deceased), Lorraine (Mike), Paula (Enzo), Michael (Tammy), and Judy (Jim). He will be deeply missed by his 27 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
After dedicating over 46 years to his career as a transport driver for Overland Western, Roy enjoyed spending quality time with his family. He cherished moments of playing card games, hosting weekend-long ping pong tournaments, fishing with his grandkids at Oxtongue Lake, and competing in games of darts, bowling, and crokinole.
Saturdays were reserved for watching his beloved Montreal Canadiens and teasing his grandson Stephen about the Toronto Maple Leafs. Roy’s love for travel led him to explore many destinations, including the US, Switzerland, Romania, France, Italy, and Spain.
A devoted family man and grandfather, Roy’s presence will be deeply felt by all who knew him. He will leave such a void, larger than life and there will never be another Mookie, humour, looks, and intelligence all rolled into one super human being. His legacy of love, kindness, and adventure will continue to inspire his family and friends.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to Roy’s caregivers, including Nurse Practitioner Irene Cilla, and caretakers Carla and Jean, who made daily visits and became like family. Special gratitude is also extended to Roy’s personal nurse, Relia, for her compassionate care.
In celebration of Roy’s life, please join us as we remember his love, laughter, and adventures.

Mookie, my favorite uncle of all time, I will miss you deeply.
Your mischievous, twinkling smile can and never will be replaced.
I will always remember and tell our story of how you outsmarted me with the fridge door. XO
I know you will be enjoying reuniting with all the others who got to Heaven before you
May you Rest in Peace for eternity and a day.
Love you
Laura

My heart goes out to Mike and his family as they remember and honour Mookie (Roy). I have the fondest of memories from my late teens to early 20’s of my time around Mookie. He was a fun, quick witted individual who always made me laugh. I’ll miss him.
Sending you my deepest condolences and praying for strength to get through this trying time. May God’s peace be with you.
