A TRIBUTE TO ARTHUR LUNDRIGAN
ARTHUR LUNDRIGAN remembered as a "true gentleman" by Machelle
Curtis, Star Staff Writer A member of one of Newfoundland's most prominent
families, credited with building much of the province's infrastructure,
died on Monday.
Arthur Lundrigan, 77, who had been residing at his home in Steady Brook,
died at the Western Memorial Regional Hospital following a lengthy illness.
Mr. Lundrigan, along with his brother Harold, were inducted last week
into the Newfoundland and Labrador Business Hall of Fame.
Their company, Lundrigans, was at one time considered to be among the
province's largest employers.
The family's various business ventures included: the sawmill and lumber
company started in the 1930s, and they were one of the key players in
the construction of the Trans-Canada Highway.
The company's highway work caused Steady Brook Mayor Trevor Bennett
to recall some of his first encounters with the local businessman.
While saddened by the news, Mayor Bennett feels fortunate to have known
Mr. Lundrigan for many years, and has vivid memories of the late 1950s
when the highway to the Northern Peninsula was under construction.
He remembers the numerous trips the city businessman and other dignitaries
made to the area at the time and said Mr. Lundrigan's respect and treatment
of people is what stood out the most.
"My family owned and operated a hotel in the area and Art used
to visit with other dignitaries, and what I remember most was how much
of a gentleman he always was," he said. "After everyone
was served, I remember that he would always come back to the staff and
say thank you and that meant more than any amount of tip. He certainly
was the personification of a true gentleman and he will certainly be
remembered that way."
Mayor Dave Luther expressed his sympathy to the Lundrigan family on
behalf of the City of Corner Brook, and added it was indeed a sad time
to lose someone of such caliber.
"Arthur Lundrigan was one of the mainstays of the city of Corner
Brook and his family helped build this city as much as the paper mill
did," the mayor noted. "This is a blow to the community
and the city sends its sympathies to the family, we know it has been
a very difficult time for them."
Mayor Luther also made reference to both Arthur and his brother Harold's
induction into the provincial business Hall of Fame.
"It is important to note they weren't just local or provincial
business leaders, but were known on the international market with ties
all over the world," he said.
Dr. Noel Murphy, a good friend and business associate of Mr. Lundrigan's,
said while they have both held positions with the Humber Valley Broadcasting
Company for several years, it will be the friendship that he will miss
the most.
"I have known Arthur for over 50 years, as both a friend and business
associate, and while I was very proud to have him as a business associate
it is his friendship that I have valued and enjoyed immensely over the
years," he said.
Dr. Murphy, echoing the sentiments of Mayor Luther, said Mr. Lundrigan
and his family contributed a lot to the community and were very much
responsible for bringing great recognition to the city through their
various business dealings around the world.
"He was a great community person who did a tremendous amount quietly
without any fanfare, and he donated not only money but also his time
to various activities," he added. "We should also
remember that he was most certainly one of the leading business people
of the century in this province."
Gerry Byrne, one of the people on hand to see Mr. Lundrigan's induction
last week, said it was a very fitting tribute to a man who has contributed
so much to the province.
Byrne, the Liberal Commons member for Humber-St. Barbe-Baie Verte, said
it is important to remember that his legacy does not end today.
"Mr. Lundrigan's legacy is one that does not end with his death,
but rather one that lives on to be reflected on by all communities in
this province in the years ahead," he said. "The footprints
that he has set, both by his strong participation and contribution to
the community as well as business, will be felt for sometime to come."
Mr. Lundrigan is predeceased by his parents William J. and Naomi Lundrigan
and is survived by his wife Ida, daughters Ingrid, Astrid, Sigrid, and
Gudrid, 11 grandchildren, brothers Max, Harold, William, and Thomas as
well as sisters Eva Jennings, Evelyn Brown, Mary Finn, Ruby Gullage,
Jean Wilson, Josephine Kennedy and Effie Humble.
