Stan was a long time employee at General Motors but his real passion was family.  Together with Lynn they have been foster parents for over 40 years with Durham Children’s Aid Society.  The impact that they had on countless children’s lives is immeasurable.  He will be truly missed.

Due to current restrictions no services are being held at this time.  A Private Family Memorial will be held at Bethesda Cemetery in the spring, followed by a Celebration of Stan’s life when it is safe to do so.  Arrangements entrusted to NORTHCUTT ELLIOTT FUNERAL HOME, 53 Division St. Bowmanville.  To honour the lifetime of giving, Memorial Donations may be made to Durham  Children’s Aid Society.
