Obituary for William "Bill" Alexander Stewart
STEWART, William Alexander “Bill” -
Passed away peacefully at Joseph Brant Hospital in Burlington on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at the age of 77. Loving and devoted husband of Shirley (nee Everett) for 54 years. Cherished father of Jeff Stewart (Diana) and Jennifer Taylor (Brent). Proud grandfather of Brady, Bronwyn, Alexandra and Ethan. Dear brother of Andrew Stewart (Josée), Barbara Zade, Mary Shipley, and Nancy Howie (Bill Hepburn). Bill will also be sadly missed by his extended family, many nieces and nephews and friends. Special thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff of Joseph Brant Hospital for their care and kindness.
Bill was born in Windsor and grew up in Riverside, ON. Growing up, he was an accomplished hockey player playing junior hockey and excelling at numerous athletics. His working career spanned Chrysler, the Windsor Star and Goodyear (Medicine Hat and Toronto) before buying and operating Spectrum Label in Burlington until his retirement. He had an undeniable passion for golf which started from his early competitive tournament play until recently. He continued to play for the love of the game with his friends and family. His second, and some may argue his first home, was the cottage in Turkey Point. Here he enjoyed the cottage life with family and many friends. During his retirement, he enjoyed boating, entertaining and of course, more golf. When home in Burlington he was an avid curler at Burlington Golf & Country Club and travelling for various bonspiels. There is no denying Bill lived life on his own terms in his pursuit to enjoy life to the fullest.
