STAN BOYAR

Thinking of you ..some of the pictures remind me of you folks when we were residents at the Holy together...seems just like yesterday! Much love your way! My Mom still speaks warmly of working with Stan at Dr Grainger's office...

When people speak of someone having a warm glow about them... they are referring to someone like you Stan. Vaughan and I enjoyed a peaceful walk out at picnic lake yesterday and the beautiful blue sky, warm sun and the sparkling, snow laden lake brought thoughts of you.

Happy Birthday dear cousin in heaven you are miss xoxo

Bro Stanley: Today it is 70 years since your debut on March 15,1948 (the Ides of March) entered a very special earthling indeed. Now you are "out of this world" and the impact that you had on us, the same. Always loving & thinking about you. J.B.

Thinking of your family and great memories of Stan.Take care, Avis. May you have a peaceful Christmas season! With prayers and all kind thoughts...Marina Skulsky

It was the best of times! ... 3 years ago now that we said our last goodbyes my good brother. TEMPUS FUGIT! jb

March 15, 2016 ~ Stanley Manly ... on your 68th birthday
Gone so soon,
Gone so long,
But always, you are in our thoughts & warming our hearts.
Your bro ~ J.B.

Oh Avis, I am so sorry. I did not know until this moment that Stan had passed. I didn't even know he was ill. I, like a ton of others, loved him for his gentle, kind heart and fearless tackling of life. My heart is with you. You must miss him so much. Love, Peggy

Celebrating a life well lived. I will cherish the memories forever. It was great having you as my cousin.

Dear Boyar family. We are offering our heartfelt condolences to all of your family. We only found out recently of your loss. Stan found a place in our hearts as he visited us on his way to the cottage. He joyfully shared how deeply he loved you all and how very proud he was of his family. We will miss him and his visits with Poco. God Bless.

Dear Avis, Tam, Megan, Anna and extended family,

Our love to you at this time. It is so inspiring to read how Stan touched so many people's lives, in so many different areas, certainly including mine. Lovely to hear Stan's teammate from high school remembering him asking about the beautiful cheerleader, Avis. A kind, gentle, involved, fearless, strong, joyful man piloting the Volkswagen van, with family and friends aboard, down the road to some exciting destination, perhaps having had a small shot of vodka before embarking. We will cherish him forever.

Love from Greg Booth & Linda Kearns, Vancouver

Dear mrs.Boyar and family, so sorry to find out about Dr.Boyar,s passing away. We always enjoyed so much your visits to The Sylvia. He would always speak about his family with so much pride. We will certainly miss his wonderful smile and Unique Christmas cards. You will miss him dearly I am sure. In the name of all employees at The Sylvia Hotel...Jennifer, Ilona, Monica, Espie, Wally, Wendy, Grant, Cora,Nicholas, Sally, Glenna our most sincere condoleances.

I just heard of Stan Boyar's passing today! 1/11/2015....I live in Virginia. USA. I am deeply saddened by this news. I worked, taught ACLS and played with Stan in the 80's when we all worked in Saudi Arabia at King Fahad Nation Guard Hospital. Stan was like a King to me. He was an incredible Emergency Room Doctor whom I will never forget.
He will be missed my many people from around the world. I pray that one day, way in the future that I will be by his side once again in heaven where I know he must be. RIP great man. Bob

Avis and family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolances for your deep loss. I have very fond memories of the short time I spent coaching our children in Riyadh. Seems a lifetime ago...and only yesterday.Sending thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Dear Avis, Tam, Megan and Anna:
We are so sorry to hear about Stan's passing. We met him and your family many years ago when I was a medical student looking to do an elective in China. Stan, along with your whole family were so kind and generous to us during our stay in Shanghai. Although we lost touch over the last few years, we do cherish those memories that we had. Stan was a remarkable physician, husband, father, and human being. We will keep your family in our prayers.

Rest in peace, Stan.

Dear, lovely Avis,

I was very sad to hear Stan had died. Please know I care.

Xx Tracy McChesney

Dear Avis and family,
I was sorry not to be able to attend the funeral as my father died that day...I know Blythe really enjoyed his time in Saudi doing your Palliative care locum--it was a highlight for him!
Working with both of you at the Holy seems like yesterday and yet another lifetime away!
My mother, Ro Skulsky, also sends her sympathy as she really enjoyed working with Stan (as Dr Grainger's nurse)
Know many blessings and good memories are being sent your way!

Dear Avis, Tam, Megan, Anna and extended family

Our most sincere condolences to all who loved and cherished Stan. We met Stan and Avis in Saudi Arabia in about 85' and we were so happy to meet this wonderful family. Stan was so much fun and so kind - he certainly had a twinkle in his eyes and a contagious smile. I'm so sorry that we haven't been in contact for the last few years, what we missed can't be recovered. We always loved Stan's Christmas cards, so creative. I have fond memories of Stan and Tim lounging in their Galabias (sp) (from Egypt). Tim
and I pray for peace for your family and that you will be
comforted. Cherish the beautiful memories I know we will.

Love you, Tim and Barbara Vawter

Dear Avis and family,
My Dad introduced me to Stan. Even though I worked for Stan, he gave me so much more in return. I looked forward to interesting, inspiring conversations over a cup of coffee or freshly-squeezed citrus every time I came out to work in your yard. His great perspective on life was refreshing, and his support in my early years of entrepreneurship will always mean a great deal to me. Last time I saw him, he gave me a book to read, and I think he would be happy to know that I did my homework. Warm thoughts to you all in this time of loss ~Courtney

Dear Avis and Tam, Megan & Anna,

When I first met Stan back in 2005, the first thing that caught my attention was his warm, welcoming smile and firm handshake. It soon became clear that this was a person that I just liked from the start. Although business was the catalyst for our introduction, over the years as we met-up annually or sometimes semi-annually, what I always looked forward to were the interesting and thought provoking conversations we'd have. I considered Stan a friend. He was a man with a kind heart, a wonderful sense of humour and a gentle soul who embraced life to the fullest. Part of our talks would always touch on our families as we brought each other up-to-date. The pride and love he carried for each of you shone through like a twinkle in his eyes. His Everything!

My deepest condolences go out to each of you on the loss of the husband, the father, and the friend that was Stan. Cherish the Memories. My thoughts are with you. He is missed...

Dear Avis and family,
I was so sad to hear of Stan's passing. I met Stan and yourself at UofC med school. He was always so warm and open. It was a tribute to you both that your marriage was strong enough to withstand training in different provinces. His dedication to doing good was always evident. I shall miss him.
Heartfelt regards to you and your family,
Graham

Our most sincere sympathy to you Avis and all your children, in the loss of your dear Stan. We always looked forward to seeing him arrive once the weather in White River warmed up - he was like our sign of "spring". And that's truly what he was... A kind, gentle man that had a special glow and warmth that he naturally radiated. His visits will be greatly missed by so many White River folks, although his smile and caring nature will always remain in our thoughts.
With love & prayers,
Vaughan, Wilma Belisle & family

I met Stan in 1966 in the initial year of the Grade 13 school, Hamilton Collegiate Institute but, with our diverse paths and geography, unfortunately have seldom seen him since. I confirm that all the kind words about Stan in the Guest Book were absolutely true as a high school senior - he was fun, fearless and joyful. I got to know Stan best as teammates on the HCI basketball team. Early in the season, while we were sitting on the bench (of course we were both "starters" so that was quite memorable in itself), I definitely saw a twinkle in Stan's eye when he asked me the name of the gorgeous blonde cheerleader across the court. No surprise here, it was Avis! I am pleased that Stan and Avis had a wonderful, fulfilling life and family together, as citizens of the world. I am so very sad to hear of Stan's passing and my thoughts are with Avis and the family and wish them all the very best.

Dear Avis and Family,
Stan was such a stellar guy with a smile that embraced everyone. Always open to new possibilities, his joy of life shone through in that smile. May all the memories of your interesting life together help sustain you.
with love,
Jean and Alan

To Stan's Family,

I am placing this message for my Brother Bill Fraser who is saddened at Stan's passing. He has fond memories of Stan a child and young man.

Sincere condolences,

Bill Fraser
Edith Fraser

Great memories of shared family celebrations. He will be missed.

Gerry,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

Avis and family,
Stan was an amazing man and he will be missed. He had an impact on us all. I was so fortunate to have worked with him at the Holy Cross and later in Saudi Arabia. So many wonderful memories. Thinking about you and your family. Cherish the memories.

Avis and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Stan's passing. I truly believe, he was met by a very long line of people waiting to see him again at the 'gates'...with smiles and huge hugs. I have many tremendous memories of Stan while working together at the Holy Cross ER. My thoughts are with you.

Stan truly lived his life to the fullest. He was loved and admired by all. We will surely miss him. Love always, Mary, Keith, Kevin, and Alison.

Avis, Tam, Megan and Anna
So sad to hear of Stan's passing. Stan the man was so generous, compassionate, fearless and joyful - he left his mark on all he met. My heartfelt condolences. Jess

Dear Avis. So sorry to hear about Stan's death. My thoughts are with you and your family. Take care

My sincere condolences to Avis , Tam, Megan, and Anna. Stan's life is to be celebrated for all he meant to his family, friends and those he so cared for as patients. His tall stature and presence will be missed however he will live on in the hearts of all those he touched.

Stan will be missed. He was a memorable, larger than life personality. We shared many close personal and professional times together for which I am grateful. Our condolences and prayers go out to Avis and family. Shonna and David Rhine

Avis, Tam, Megan and Anna,
I'm so sad to hear that Stan the man is no longer with us. Stan and you welcomed me so warmly and looked out for me on my arrival to Alberta as Greg's little sister. I remember happy ski excursions (getting lost in the woods or climbing up steep bowls) in search of powder with Stan in the lead - it was never just a normal ski-run with him. Also great hikes and tennis games, and I loved having you as my first landlord at 720. Stan really "saw me", which was sometimes unnerving, but always good. He was both wise and mischievous.

I'll be thinking of you all on Friday - there will be a lot of love in that church. I hope that that love provides some comfort as you move forward with your lives.

love Karen

Avis & family - So very sorry for your loss...my thoughts & prayers are with you.

Dear Avis --- a voice from your distant past --- the good old Forest Lawn Days. Darlene called me this am with this shocking & sad news. I remember very well the large van you & Stan drove (with a huge beast of a dog --- St Bernard I believe?).
You & your family will be in my thoughts.
wishing you strength.
love Hope

Avis, We were pleased to have known Stan since the Holy Cross in the early days and both of you in Saudi Arabia later on when we were all so smart with our young kids. Derek snd Suzanne Younge, lately from Yellowknife, now in Cochrane.

We were very saddened to hear of Stan's passing. We looked forward to his visits and seeing the latest photos of his grandchildren. He was so proud. Our thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. Sincerely, Dr Andrew Wasik and the Team at Ambiance Dental

Avis - so sorry to learn of Stan's passing. Although our paths haven't crossed for many years, I'm thinking of you and your family at this most difficult time. May the sweet memories you have, along with the comfort of friends and family sustain and support you.

...no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should - from Desiderata of which you Stanley Manly, enjoyed making an occasional quote. In the early 70s you sent me this poem when I was an insecure fledgling at the University of Waterloo. It hangs on my wall to this very day. I must say that you lived your life close to the mark according to the Desiderata ideal. We are all truly blessed that YOU, Big Bro went far far beyond our imaginations regarding your creative and loving ways. Thank you for ALL of the precious memories Magnanimous MAG-STAN-IMOUS! a.k.a.Sonny a.k.a. Scrowdie McDaniels. A shot of vodka awaits - in your honour, afterall you are now BIGGER THAN LIFE ITSELF, The cosmos welcomes you with outstretched arms. With love always, JayBee

We are saddened to hear of Stan's death. It has been many years since we have seen the Boyar family, but it is a measure of his charisma as a neighbour and a doctor that we remember him so clearly. Our heartfelt sympathy to the Boyar famiky at his loss.

Avis, I am holding you and your family close in my heart.
Norma Allan

I never had the pleasure of meeting Stan, however, I heard enough fro his brother's Joe and Gerry to know him as well as I knew the Boyar family in Hamilton. May he rest in peace. My codolances to the daily.

Gerry and family...I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know your brother but from the obituary, it sounded like he lived hi life with purpose and meaning. Thinking of you...Cathy Urquhart (Perkins)

Breathtaking sadness at the loss of your husband, father and our friend. He was one of the finest men we have ever met and he will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him, let alone call him friend. Deepest, deepest condolences.

Avis and family, we are thinking of you and send our prayers to help carry you through this time now and forward. Although not seeing you often over the years, we always so enjoyed our time and conversation together when we crossed paths. Hugs, Linda and Greg

I was very sorry to hear of Stan's death. I knew him and worked with him off and on throughout the years. He was a nice man with a good sense of humour; I always liked him and liked to work with him. My thoughts are with you Avis and with your family

Deepest sympathies and warmest memories. I enjoyed nights, sports, barbecues and medicine with both Stan and Avis in Saudi Arabia. ...... He will be missed - a gentle giant, and a wonderful soul.

Avis and all the family
Our deepest condolences to all. We had occasion to have a quick chat this summer when you were at the lake and we are happy that Stan had that chance to go to camp even though it was a short visit. We will miss him around the lake and the island. You are in our thoughts and prayers, Jim and Linda Houston

My memories working with Stan at the Rockyview Emergency are of him always smiling no matter what organized chaos was taking place! Peter and I send our love and condolences to all of your beautiful family.

We were deeply saddened to learn about Stan's passing this evening. Ken has known Stan for nearly 35 years from the Holy Cross Hospital to working for him at King Fahad National Guard Hospital in Saudi Arabia, and back again in Calgary. He was a good friend, and a well respected physician. Our prayers are with each one of you at this difficult time.
