Absent from the body, and present with the Lord 2 Corinthians 5:8. He lived most of his life in Winnipeg and worked in sales for various hardware outlets in the city.

He was a happy Christian man. On May 29, 1942 he married Janet Steffensen and they enjoyed 60 years of wedded life together. Janet went home to heaven June 22, 2002. His parents, Lindsay and Joyce Stewart; his sister Dorothy; and his infant son Douglas also predeceased him.
