COLIN STANWAY
It is with great sadness that the
family of Colin Stanway announces
his passing on Oct. 9, 2017. He was
in his 80th year.
Colin will be lovingly
remembered by his wife Shirley of
Goderich; his children Sharon,
Joanne and John and Colin's
siblings Ramon, Barry and Lorna,
all of England.
Colin was born in Blackpool,
England in 1937. He served in the
14th/20th King's Hussars Cavalry
Regiment of the British Army. Colin

Triebner, siblings Janie and Jack
McEwing, Tom and Marg Bernard,
George Bernard, Mary and Harold
East and brother-in-law Gary
Triebner.
Howard was a volunteer
firefighter in Brussels for over 30
years, over 10 of which he served as
the department's chief.
North Huron Publishing named
Howard its Citizen of the Year in
1993 for the Brussels community.
By all accounts, Howard was a
respected member of the community
who remained active for a number of
years.
In 2016, a team of Howard's
family members, including his wife
Joan, served as the honorary family
for the Clinton Walk for Alzheimer's
to acknowledge their years of
participation in the event, following
Howard's Alzheimer's diagnosis in
2011.
At the time, the support services
co-ordinator for the walk said that
Howard's family was a great
example for families coping with a
member suffering from Alzheimer's
with the level of support they
showed Howard.
Friends and family were received
at the Brussels United Church for a
memorial service on Friday, Oct. 13.
A reception followed at the Royal
Canadian Legion Brussels Branch
218. Cremation has taken place. A
private interment is to follow at a
later date.
In lieu of flowers and as
expressions of sympathy, donations
to the Alzheimer's Society of Huron
County or Brussels United Church
would be appreciated.

The Blyth Campground was flooded with thousands of
visitors on Saturday, as the Festival of Wizardry held what
many said was a successful one day in Blyth. A special
weather statement declaring the possibility of high winds,
heavy rain and lightning forced the cancellation of Sunday's
festivities, but by many accounts Saturday was a good day
in the village. (Denny Scott photo)
