March 21, 1926 – June 10, 2022 
Surrounded by loved ones and holding the hand of Marjory, his wife and love of his life for more than 75 years, Stan earned his well-deserved crown as he was Promoted to Glory in his 97th year and is now in his eternal home. Stan was a quiet, kind and gentle soul, and was happiest enjoying the simple things in life, particularly spending time with his family. Together with Marge he lovingly raised five children: the late Stan (Aura), Gary (Donna), Rob (Glenda), Don (Gwen) and Nancy (Ken Kerr). He adored and is cherished by his 15 grandchildren (and their respective spouses), 21 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Loving “father” of Stephanie Turner.
Stan’s family love him dearly and cherish their memories of him – whether they are memories of letting the big one get away, learning and developing a love for making music, being cheered on from the sidelines of the football field or hockey rink, the many large and rather raucous family gatherings, or simply being in dad’s quiet presence. Most important to Stan was that his family learn at an early age about the love and promises of his Lord and Saviour.
Stan touched many lives throughout his career as a Salvation Army officer and beyond, and his desire to be like Jesus was evident in how he lived his life. Whether you knew him for a short time or a long time, you saw how special a person Stan was and how he positively impacted so many lives, many for eternity, just with his presence.
While we mourn the loss of Stan, we want to pause to remember the wonderful times we were able to share with him. To properly celebrate and honour such a remarkable person and life, the family would be honoured if you joined us to pay tribute to his legacy. A Celebration of Life was held on Monday, June 13, 2022 at 1:00pm at The Salvation Army London Citadel (555 Springbank Drive, London ON). The service was livestreamed on The Salvation Army London
Citadel YouTube channel for those who cannot attend in person and is available to be viewed anytime.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff in the Yellow Rose unit of Westmount Gardens Long Term Care Home in London ON, for the kind and loving care they provided to Stan over the past year.
