ERIC DOUGLAS STEWART 1926 - 2005 It is with sad hearts, the family announces the passing of Eric Stewart, on August 12, 2005, at the Grace General Hospital. Dad fought a brave battle with lung disease over the past several years. He was predeceased by his wife Shirley in 1998. Eric will be lovingly remembered by his daughters, Alison Stewart, Susan Finnigan (Warren); and grandson Ryan of Winnipeg; his sister Isobel Stewart of Toronto; brother-in-law Jack Brennan of Pasadena, CA; as well as many special friends and neighbours. Eric was born in Toronto in 1926, and worked for many years with the Bank of Commerce, travelling and residing in several small towns in Northwestern Ontario and Saskatchewan. In 1965, he came to Winnipeg, where he met and married his wife Shirley, in 1966. He then worked for the finance department of the Manitoba Government for 22 years before his retirement in 1992. He enjoyed his involvement with the Kinsmen Club, and later continued in the K-40 Club of Winnipeg, where he had many friends. Dad was a kind and generous man who always made time for his family and friends. His warm sense of humour, hearty laugh and sharp wit, will always be a loving remembrance for the family. The family would like to thank the medical teams of the ICU and the third floor of the Grace Hospital for their care and compassion. On his wishes, cremation has taken place. A service will be held on Tuesday, August 16 at 12:30 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave., with a reception to follow.
