Born in Edmonton, Alberta, the oldest of 5 sisters and 1 brother. He attended school in Clearwater, Alberta and continued to further his education to become a Municipal Police Officer for the town of Leduc, Alberta. He attended NAIT to become an Electrician then a Firefighter at the Edmonton International Airport. He moved the family to Whitehorse to accept a position at the Airport Fire Hall. In 1981 moved to Kelowna where he became the Airport Fire Chief and then the Superintendent of Airport Operations and accepted a position at Okanagan University College looking after the maint/physical plant where he retired.
On most days Stu could be found spending time at the Kelowna Golf & Country Club where he had been a long-time member.
His passions were spending time with his 2 grandchildren, gardening, travelling, spending winters in Mesa Arizona, coffee time at the “office”, happy hour, and being with family and his large circle of friends. He was a true “Jack of all trades” and “Master of them all”.
The family would like to thank Dr. Larry Bobbyn, the amazing team at the Ethel Hospice House, ambulance attendants and Springfield Funeral Home.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, March 5, 2018 at 1:00 pm at Kelowna Golf & Country Club, 1297 Glenmore Road, Kelowna, BC.
