Eric Stewart

Eric Stewart went peacefully on February 20, 2021, at the age of 86, at Georgian Bay General Hospital (Midland) after a short fight with cancer. Eric will be missed by his beloved wife of 49 years, Helen (Jo), nee LeSarge, his daughter Kristina, his son Craig (Eve) and by his 4 grandchildren, Luke (Veenstra), Chloe, Logan (Veenstra) and Tyler. Eric, son of the late Harry and Elizabeth Stewart, and predeceased by his brother Gerry (Eunice) and his sister Rita Ramsbottom (William). Eric cherished the special relationships he had with the LeSarge family; brother-in-law to Anne (Merv), late Barbara (Willis) Duffet, Tom (Roselle), late James (Louise), Patricia Nicolls (late Dudley) and William (Rose). He will be greatly missed by his many nieces, nephews and friends. Eric grew up in Scarborough. He began his sales career working at CSA in Toronto, where he met his wife Helen. For many years, Eric worked and then co-owner of ACME Decal in Toronto until his retirement. Eric and Helen purchased a family cottage in Port McNicoll where they spent many memorable summers as a family enjoying Georgian Bay. They eventually retired and moved permanently to Midland, making the cottage their home. Eric was a loving and proud father to Kristina and Craig; always the voice of reason, giving guidance, support and encouragement. Eric especially enjoyed being a "Pappa" and spending time with his grandchildren, Luke, Chloe, Logan and Tyler and watching them grow up. We will remember Eric's quick wit, humour and dedication to his family. A special thank you to the doctors and nurses at Georgian Bay General Hospital for the wonderful care and compassion they provided during this difficult time. Unfortunately, due to the current restrictions with COVID-19, only a small celebration of life can be held with immediate family members.
