Lawrence James Stewart

Peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family, Larry lost his 10 year battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Carrol (Paul), his two daughters, Sonia (Jason) Vance, Candy Sue (Sonny) MacDonald, five grandchildren, TJ Matser (Jen Gallagher), Brad Matser, Marissa Kinney, Ryley MacDonald & Kaden MacDonald, his parents Claudia Stewart, Lawrence (Freda) Stewart, his siblings Marilyn Young, Michael (Denise) Stewart, Barb (Len) Richard, Sue (Ernie) Richard, two special daughters Tanya (Russell) Bowmaster, Sue Armstrong (Ryan Rice), Several Nieces, Nephews, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and many friends. He is predeceased by his sister Joan Leavitt and youngest brother Danny Stewart.

Before he started his journey with cancer, Larry worked as a maintenance mechanic for Connors Brothers. His first passion was his love for his family, especially his grandchildren. He was an avid hunter, fisherman & woodsman. He loved to visit the old Stewart homestead at Elmscroft where he learned his hunting skills from his grandfather Herman. Larry always enjoyed cooking especially his infamous chilli and homemade bread. Larry will be remembered and best known for his witty sense of humour, his gift for nagging but mostly for his strength, his gentleness and his kindness. He will be sadly missed by his family. Larry was a longtime member of the St. George Masonic Lodge # 12 F&AM.
