Stuart was born in Winnipeg, MB on May 27, 1935 and resided there all of his life. He worked for the Manitoba Telephone System for 39 years until his retirement in 1992. Thanks to his friends Marilyn and Ray Wake, he met and fell in love with my mother. They were married on June 6, 1959 and created a warm and loving home for everyone. Some of Dad's many interests included curling, woodworking, travelling, camping, model railroading and taking care of his grandchildren and granddogs.
