Funeral Details:

Murday, Nallasamy Pillay (Almay): Jul 21st, 1933 to Jan 26th, 2021

Almay passed away peacefully on January 26, 2021 at the age of 87. Born in Mauritius in the town of Vacoas where he was a renowned baker and owner of the local bakery “Boulangerie Murday”. He moved to Canada and lived in Barrie for the last 24 years.

Almay will be forever remembered and missed by his loving wife Mary of 50 years, children Vanessa, Vanida, Reed, son-in-law Keshore and grandfather to Dylan, Ryan and Sara. Almay had 12 siblings.

Almay loved the simple things in life: People, baking, cooking, gardening, especially planting flowers and most of all spending time with his family.  He had a one of a kind sense of simplicity and positive outlook on life.  His daily acts of kindness, generosity and his giving nature encircled his family as well as people that he did not really know. He loved to dress in a suit, always had a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh. He was fun to be around and made people laugh with his lovable sense of humour.

His family has very fond childhood memories of his unconditional love, family trips to the beach, sweets treats and pastries.

Almay positively impacted the lives of many people and he will forever be remembered.

We love you and we will miss seeing you!

Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, cremation has already taken place.

Donations in memory of Almay can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.

    My sincere and deepest condolences to your family and friends.

    Bonjour Tonton Almay, you will always be remembered as the sweetest, polite, generous, very helpful, cheerful, a good hearted person and a respectful father figure to me and a grandpa to Ashvin. Your phone calls, questions and jokes always brought a smile. Our memories; you dropping by Bishop Avenue; you always brought something for us and you visited us before starting your favorite gardening chores. I recall having coffee, chatting and laughing, sharing a quick meal (as you were always rushing) but the most surprising thing I had to learn quickly was: you disappear in a second without saying good bye and you did it again but I know you are in a good place, in peace, resting, happy and smiling, as always. We are grateful for the good time and memories.
    Thank you for sharing your love, affection and your family with us.
    “Far from sight close to heart”.
    Love and peace

    Very sad about your dad’s passing. Will always keep fond memories of him, especially from dinners at 181 Bishop and through childhood tales that you shared with me over the years. May he rest in peace and may the smell of freshly baked bread surround him wherever he is. Sending our love and strength to you all.
