The death of Stan on Sunday, April 15th, 2001, has shocked the Legion Community and all who knew him. Stan Fitzsimmons of 250 Pembroke St. E., Pembroke was the son of the late Angus and Isobel Fitzsimmons (nee Sneddon) of Montreal and Ottawa. He leaves to mourn his wife Joyce Rebecca, Pembroke; sister Marie Wallace, Montreal; brother Murray, Ottawa; sisters-in-law Gloria Lavigne, Pembroke; and Hope Preiswerck, Victoria, B.C.; brother-in-law Earl Rosamond, Hamilton; and several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his sister Margaret Ferguson, Montreal. Stan enlisted in the RCNVR in 1941 and after his discharge he joined the Royal Canadian Legion. He was a dedicated 50 year member of the Legion and was a Past President, Life Member and recipient of the Legion Meitorious Service Medal. For over forty years he held many Branch executive positions and was very active as Bingo Chairman, Sports Officer, Poppy Chairman and Veteran's Service Officer, to name a few. His many unsung contributions to the Branch and his phenominal memory of people, places and events will be sorely missed by all his friends and acquaintances from all over Ontario and beyond. Stan was also a long time Zone Council Member serving under fourteen Zone Commanders. A Memorial Service will be held in Wesley United Church, 275 Pembroke St. E., on Thursday, May 10th, 2001, at 11 a.m. (As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 72 Poppy Fund or the Ontario Humane Society, Box 322, Petawawa, Ontario, would be appreciated). Arrangements by the Malcolm, Deavitt & Binhammer Funeral Home, Pembroke. Remembrance is a golden chain That death tries to break, but all in vain; To have, to love, and then to part Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart. Time may wipe out never - The memory of those happy days When we were all together. Ottawa Citizen, May 08, 2001
