In memory of
Edward (Ted) Landry
September 4, 1930 - March 8, 2026
LANDRY, Joseph Romeo Edward (Ted)
Peacefully at home surrounded by family on Sunday March 8, 2026 at the age of 95.
Ted was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, colleague and friend. He will be missed by his children Maureen (Allan), Susan (Mitchell), Denyse (Bob), Carolyn (Glenn), Peter and Jennifer.
His many grandchildren and great grandchildren were a great source of joy. Grandchildren: Michael J, Christopher, Michael W, Stephanie, Alexandra, Ashley, Mark, Andrea, Madeleine, Edward Benjamin, Jamie, Sean, Leah and Adam. Great grandchildren: Dylan, Addison, Tyson, Paityn, Lucas, Brennley, Myles, Jack, Emily, Eden, and Sullivan.
Ted will be missed by his brother Leo (Maryanne) and his brother and sister in law, William (Bill) and Jean Lonergan. He was predeceased by his parents Albert and Annette Landry and brothers, Roland, Robert, Albert, and Raymond.
Born in Toronto in 1930, Ted spent most of his life in Toronto, with some time spent in Montreal, both in his youth and as an adult. He met the love of his life, his wife Mary, when they were both in high school and they spent more than 75 years together raising their large family in St. Bruno, Quebec and Scarborough, Ontario.
A metallurgical engineer, Ted had a long career with Union Carbide Canada working in the area of graphite electrodes. Early in his career, he followed in his father's footsteps briefly working at Anaconda Mining. Ted ended his career with Union Carbide as the Director of Technical Services, a position about which he was passionate. His curiosity and passion for problem solving were a perfect fit for the troubleshooting that was the majority of his job.
Ted loved to be build things, do home repairs and be of service to others. He was also the original tech tinkerer. A life long learner, Ted was an early adopter of the personal computer, spending many hours in his office learning the ins and outs of computing. He enjoyed all the latest gadgets because he was truly fascinated by what made them tick.
With his wife Mary, Ted was the embodiment of hospitality. He would drop everything when someone arrived at the house. On more than one occasion, they opened their home to people in need of a place to stay, including some for extended periods.
Grand-Barachois, New Brunswick held a very special place in Ted’s heart. He enjoyed spending summers at the cottage - Plage Hirondelle - surrounded by friends and family.
A special thank you to Maggie, Seeta, Melanie, Donna, Mariam, Bola, Ivy, Michelle and Roseller for their compassionate care. We are grateful for the Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities’ Palliative Care Team.
Ted Landry had a long, full and happy life.
A funeral mass will be held at 11am on Monday March 16, 2026 at St. Gabriel’s Passionist Parish at 670 Sheppard Avenue East, Toronto, ON M2K 1B7. A reception will follow the service.
In memory of Ted, please direct donations to Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities
