Stanley Paul Amirault
1936-2021
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Stanley Paul
Amirault announces his passing which occurred on Tuesday, February 16,
2021 at the Saint John Regional Hospital after a courageous battle
with Alzheimer’s. Stanley Paul was born
on June 9, 1936, In Pubnico, Nova Scotia and was the eldest son of the
late Stanley P. and Grace Amirault (and stepson to Augusta Amirault,
affectionately known as Gus).
After graduating from Université Sainte-Anne
(Arts) and St. Mary’s University (Commerce), Stan commenced
on his lifelong career with the Royal Bank of Canada in Halifax,
NS. His banking career took him to many places to
call home: Montreal QC, Guadeloupe, Dominican Republic, Haiti,
Cornwall ON, Kirkland, QC, Bathurst NB and eventually Saint John NB
where he retired.
It was in Montreal in 1967 where Stan met the love of his
life, Evelyn (nee Wanchulak) and in 1968 Stan and Evelyn married in
Edmonton AB. Together they raised a beautiful
family that Stan took great pride in. Those who
knew Stan will recall that he had a passion for both youth and sports,
spending many years as a positive influence as a Little League
baseball coach. Stan enjoyed many foreign travel
adventures, but the one he cherished the most was walking the El
Camino in Northern Spain. Stan also loved talking
with people-anyone and everyone! He looked forward
to any chance he could get to chit chat and being an active member of
the Lions Club for over 44 years not only gave him the opportunity to
socialize, but also to assist various local communities through the
many fundraisers he helped organize. In 2016, Stan
was awarded the prestigious Judge Brian Stevenson
Fellowship for his outstanding involvement and achievement
with the Lions Club.
After retiring from the Royal Bank, Stan enjoyed his second
career puttering around both his garden and on the golf
course. He also loved his dogs and could always be
seen on the local trails on a walk with them. In
addition to his work with the Lions Club, Stan enjoyed being involved
with the Men of St. Marks group as well as the local YMCA Newcomers
program. These experiences brough him much joy and
of course, another chance to chit chat!
Stan will be affectionately remembered by his loving wife
Evelyn, his beloved son Paul (Elisabeth Lang); his cherished daughter
Catherine (Ken Beaton); his granddaughters Kate, Jane and Claire
Amirault and his grandson Broderick Beaton-all of whom brought him so
much joy; his sister Marilyn (Patrick) Dalzell; his sister-in-law
Joyce (Rudy Amirault), as well as several nieces, nephews and many
friends. He was predeceased by his parents and his
brother, Rudy Amirault.
A Mass of Christian burial will be held on Saturday, October
9, 2021 at 11am, in Immaculate Conception Church, Middle East Pubnico
where he will be reunited with his parents. All
COVID-19 regulations will be in effect. Proof of
