Condolence From: Rhonda St. John
Condolence: Ivi, I was very sad to just read of Stew's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It's been many years since I've seen you - we bowled together in that crazy league in the '70's and enjoyed many bowling and hockey dances. Dianne Giles and I were reminiscing and both recalled (very clearly!)how after bowling, a bunch of us spent a few nights downstairs at your house trying to teach other to do the new "disco" dances after you and Stew had purchased the Saturday Night Fever album! That was so much fun and was a great group of people. I always thought Stew was a great guy and a real gentleman. Dianne and I hope that many happy memories help you and your family through this difficult time.

Condolence: As any friends of Ben or Hayley can attest to, Stew and Ivi always made you feel welcome when you came to visit one of their kids. Even when an hour visit with Ben somehow transformed itself into a weekend long event of music, swimming, the consumption of a beverage or two, and the creation of some new sport that somehow combined bocci balls and hula hoops.
Their home always felt like home to anyone who walked through their doors.
Always gracious and always the gentleman. Stew had a positive impact on everyone around him. You will be missed. Thanks for everything Stew.

Condolence: Ivi and family,
Kath and I have you in our thoughts, words provide little comfort but it is all we have to express our condolences at the passing of Stew.
Our experience of great loss is that time eases the pain one feels and memories of all the good times provide comfort and lessens the ache you feel.

Condolence: When thinking of my Uncle Canoose, I have nothing but smiles. I think of cards; all of the great family games, especially those with Irma, the Friday night games he played in at my house when I was little (when I heard swearing for the first time :)), and the stories of poker weekends at his cottage. My favorite story is how one night Stew was mad at my Dad for winning a big pot (after my Dad had sat out most of the hands before) and they were found the next morning asleep in each others arms on the couch. I think about the great job he got me at Ontario Hydro (he also got jobs there for both of my brothers and my Mom too) - we called it cashing in our "Stewey Ticket". I remember the great times at the cottage in Sauble Beach as kids. Christmases and other family gathering. My Mom (Judy) was as proud of her brother as a sister could be, and Stew and Ivi spent a lot of time together with my parents when they were younger (so many great stories). Stew was such a kind and unassuming guy, finding happiness in the simple things in life. But mostly when I think of Stew (and Ivi), I think of family!!! How they were there at every important Sangster family milestone, and how their greatest achievement is the amazing young families that Ben and Hayley have, and how important family is to them. Although he leaves well before we are ready to say goodbye, it helps me to believe that Stew would have been happy to see how great his kids and grandkids are doing, and that he leaves Ivi well provided for and surrounded by loving friends and family. I also think of him seeing Stewart, Gertie and Irma again in heaven, and watching over Ivi, Ben and Hayley and their families. I am so sorry for Ivi, Ben, Hayley, Julie and Eric (and their kids)! Canoose was one of a kind and he will be missed by so many!! Love Drew
