ERIC STOKES Obituary
STOKES, U.E., ERIC LEEDER 1984 - 2019 After battling a long illness, Eric passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 23, 2019, at Georgetown Hospital, in the presence of his family. Beloved son to Robert and his late wife Janice (Leeder), proud brother to Heather and Mark, brother-in-law to Jordan and Erika, dear nephew to aunts Mary Ellen and Lynda, best friend to cousins Ross and Megan and astonished uncle to Wilder. His absence will be deeply felt by all those whom he knew. Eric was a dedicated fan of early rock and roll music and programmes of the golden age of television. He will be remembered as being a pillar of strength and bravery against a disease which slowly robbed him of his best years.
