We are saddened to announce that Lawrence Bushey passed away on November 7, 2026, at the age of 86, after CHUS surgeons were unable to repair a tear in his aorta.
He was a kind and gentle man who loved his home, his farm, and his family. He was, for many years, a pig farmer and hay producer. Later in life, he raised Black Angus cattle, as had his maternal grandfather before him. Lawrence was an avid hunter and had even recently shot a moose. He also was a keen curler at the Danville Curling Club for over 30 years.
Left to mourn are his loving wife Marilyn Mastine, his children Dwayne (Lyn), the late Kevin (Stephanie), Jodie Hood (Philip), and Christopher, his step-children Melissa Wingeat (Jason) and Jeff Wingeat, his grandchildren Samantha Lawless (Lee), Jillian, Davis, Abbie Hood, Spencer Brock (Nicole) and Katie Brock (Shawn), his siblings Roy (Dorothy), Brian (Mavis), and Sandra Kerslake (the late Bill). He also leaves to mourn his friends and many other members of the Bushey and Mastine families.
Visitation will take place at the Cass funeral Home, 295 Principal S. Richmond, on Friday, November 13 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Visitation will also take place on Saturday, November 14 at 1 p.m. at the Shipton Hall, 136 Grove St., Danville. A memorial service celebrating Lawrence’s life will begin at 2 p.m. also at the hall.
