Obituary for Ian Stuart deLieveseley
Ian was born in Hastings, Sus, England, on July 17, 1930. He was the
last survivor of a family of seven children. He passed away at Hamilton
General Hospital on November 9, 2020. After a tumultuous childhood,
which included the Great Depression and World War II, he emigrated to
Canada on his 18th birthday in 1948. He became a Canadian citizen and
remained a proud Canadian until his passing at age 90, while remaining
extremely proud of his British heritage. He married Irene Scott in 1952;
they spent 68 happy years in the Hamilton area. He loved to be referred to
as “precious father”, and was the proud dad of Graeme deLieveseley
(Carol Gideon) and Alison Farrell. He was a doting grandfather to Diana
Rasmussen (Dana), James Rasmussen (Emily), Aislinn Farrell, and William
deLieveseley, and was a loving step-grandfather to Stephen Ingram (Leah).
Ian was a tool maker and took early retirement from Westinghouse after
more than 35 years of service. He was the ultimate handyman and an avid
chess player. He loved his family, his home, his garden, and the great
outdoors, and he could fix or make anything. He will be missed sadly by
family in Canada and abroad. The family is grateful for the care he
received in his final days, particularly from Dr. Ivan Shcherbatykh, Mathilda,
and Mui. Cremation has taken place, and there will be a memorial in the
future.
“From too much love of loving, from hope and fear set free, we offer brief
thanksgiving to whatever gods there be, that no man lives forever… and
even the longest river flows somewhere out to sea.”
