[Welland Tribune Sept. 13, 1975]
Private funeral services were held at 2 p.m. today from the Lampman Funeral Chapel at Fenwick for Dr. S. Lee Honey, DDS, BSc., DDPh., who died suddenly at his residence on Canboro Road, Fenwick on Saturday evening, in his 86th year.
Still actively engaged in his chosen field, had filled appointments on Friday and enjoyed his usual daily walk early Saturday.
He was born in Mitchell, Ont., where he received his elementary school education, then moved to Port Perry, where he graduated from high school. He joined the forces in the First World War and won his commission in the field. On leaving the army Mr. Honey entered dental college where he graduated in 1923. Dr. Honey established his old private practice in Timmins, Ont., where he worked for 20 years, retiring at the end of that time to enter the University of Toronto, where he graduated with his degree in public health.

He came to Welland on the inception of the Welland Public Health Unit in 1943, where he was engaged until his retirement three years ago. He has since carried on a private practice at his home in Fenwick.
