Obituary for Stanley Oliver "Stan" Nixon
NIXON, Stanley Oliver
Passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, October 5, 2019 in his 95th year at the Stayner Care Centre. Stan of Stayner, beloved husband of Dahlia Zane Dewar for 71 years. Loving father of Nancy (Bob), Paul (Sadie), Lori (Peter) and John (Linda). Proud grandfather of Sean, Travis, Joshua, Brandon, Nicole, Brennan, Damion and Gabriella and four great-grandchildren.
Stanley was born in Creemore, Ontario and moved to Stayner when he and Dale married. He owned and operated Stan Nixon Motors for many years. He loved to walk, and would walk home each day for lunch. He was a Second World War veteran, a Shriner, and a Masonic Hall member who never missed a meeting. He bought a cottage at Brocks Beach in the early 1960’s that provided years of happiness for his family and friends. He was a founding member of the Stayner Granite Club where he curled every winter.
Special thanks to Dr. Recoskie and the staff of Stayner Care Centre and Blue Mountain Manor.
