Stanley Pyle

STANLEY ARTHUR PYLE A fighter to the end, Stan left when he was good and ready. He passed at home in his 83rd year with his dearest wife of 40 years, Ethel, at his side. Lovingly remembered as "the best dad in the world" by his children: Jim, Jean Ann, Rudy and Belinda. He treasured being a grandfather to Billy, Melony, Vanessa, Lyndsay, Serena and Kira. His many siblings were geographically far but ever so close in his heart and will miss him dearly: Glenn, Mary Ellen, Marvin, Doris, Orval and Grayden. Predeceased by Herb, Clark, Lillian, Ken and Murray. Uncle Stan - "the fun one" - cherished every one of his many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. Most Sundridge citizens know Stan as the man behind the growth of the Lions Club Loan Cupboard. He was deeply committed to helping those in need in the community and made sure they got services as soon as they needed them.
