YOUNG, Stanley Arthur 1923 - 2014 It is with great sadness that the family of Stan Young announces his death on April 3, 2014 in Perth, Ontario. Stan was the youngest child of the late James George and Sarah Louisa Young. Stan is predeceased by all his siblings: Jim, Jack, Robert, Anne, Eleanor, Louise and Elizabeth. He leaves in mourning his loving wife/soul mate for 70 years, Shirley Elizabeth (nee Mitchell); his children David (Jane), Donald (Kathryn), Dianne (Christopher Payne) and Ellen (Peter Hrziwnatzki); his grandchildren Jennifer, Ted, Neil; Robert, Dawna, Scott, Janet, Lyndsay; Mischa, Petra, 17 great grandchildren, one great great grandson and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Stan was born in Ottawa and grew up in the Westboro area. He attended Ottawa Technical High School. In 1942 he enlisted in the RCAF and completed training to become a pilot. Stan married Shirley Mitchell on August 5, 1943 in Halifax where they honeymooned until he embarked by ship overseas where he completed an extended tour which included 35 sorties out of Tholthorpe, England with Snowy Owl Squadron 420. Stan returned home to Canada in 1945 and settled into civilian and married life once again. He was first employed as a manager for Central Mortgage & Housing Corp., in Trenton, Guelph and Kitchener, Ontario and later became very active in the Ottawa construction industry. Stan had a great love for the outdoors. He was always building something or helping others complete their projects. His greatest joy was when he worked with his grandsons and teaching them the tricks of the trade along with the benefits of a strong work ethic. Stan and Shirley spent many cherished years at their country home on Palmerston Lake, where they eventually retired before recently settling in Perth, Ontario. Stan will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. W. Perth on Sunday, April 6th, 2014 from 1:00 to 4:00 P.M.
