Stu married the love of his life Shelagh on September 2, 1972 in Williams Lake, BC where they also settled and raised their 3 children.
He worked for the City of Williams Lake for many years, where he made many friends and had a lot of great memories and laughs.
Stu spent many hours fishing, supporting his kids in all of their sporting events and crazy ideas and had a huge love for the sport of hockey (and baked goods). Many hours were spent in front of the TV watching the Canucks or down at the arena supporting the local teams. Where, (like Cheers) everyone knew his name.
A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Stu at 1 pm on Saturday, March 26 in the Gibraltor Room at the arena. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Stu's life. There will be coffee, tea and snacks, a slide show and open mic for anyone that may choose to say a few words.
Special Thanks to Renee Wohl (family and friend) for her amazing support and love and Angela @ Cariboo Chilcotin Funeral Services for her compassion, assistance and understanding during this difficult time.
