Stanley Gabriel Stefina

Stanley Gabriel Stefina passed away on Thursday September 4, 2008. Born to his late parents Andrew & Anny (Gazo) Stefina 69 years ago, Stan had many interests in life but family always ranked number one. He is survived by his daughters Denise Stefina of Chatham and Karen (Leslie) McQuarrie of Blenheim and by his sons Rob (Gina) Stefina of Windsor and Brandon Stefina of Blenheim. He was predeceased by his daughter Stephanie. Stan is the proud Grandpa of Tyler McQuarrie, and Bianca, Sophia and Brandon Stefina. Stan got much pleasure in life by helping his sisters Annie Janicek of Alvinston and Mary (Karl) Pirhalla of Blenheim. He was the last surviving brother of the family having been predeceased by Joe, Frank, Andy and Steve. He is survived by his sisters in law Delores Stefina, Jean Stefina, Sylvia Stefina and Mary Anne Stefina. Stan retired as a Maintenance Worker at Motor Wheel in Chatham. He was also a good farmer. Stan loved to work the land. He loved to listen to the Prairie Farm Report on Sunday. He loved to go crop touring in his “pickemup truck”. And at the end of the day when his work was done, he loved to fish. The Stefina family invite friends to the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Saturday September 6, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. for a time to share their memories and stories of Stan. Cremation will follow. Those wishing to honour Stan’s life with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital ICU Department, the Victoria Hospital Critical Care Trauma Centre or Ducks Unlimited.
