Loving father of Courtland, and cherished grandfather of Scott, Jamie (wife Sharon), Eric, and four great grandchildren. He will be missed by his sister June, sister Barbara (deceased), and was a dear nephew of Walter and Lucy Noble.

We will miss Stan's sense of humour and his zest for life. How fortunate we all are to have had him in our lives.

Uncle Stan was always fun, kind, and welcoming. He had his own brand of mischievousness, and I’ll miss the good humour he brought to every occasion.

Mallory Dunn (Great-Niece)

Uncle Stan was always the life of the party at family gatherings. We never knew what he would have prepared for us, whether it was something to make us laugh or a collection of photos to reminisce together. We will miss the warmth and kindness he exuded every day.

Joshua Hodgson (Philatelic Friend)

Entered January 20, 2022 from Scarborough, Ontario

He would always share a relative humorous joke, both philatelic and contemporary. Made my presence at West Toronto Stamp Club more enjoyable. Sorry to see the passing of another WW2 vet. Rest in peace,
