Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On May 29, 2021 @ 3:41 PM In Lucan,Obituary | 53 Comments

HODGINS: Stan of Arva

Peacefully at LHSC – Victoria Hospital on Friday, May 28, 2021 of Arva at the age of 76. Cherished husband of Norma (Parkinson) Hodgins for over 53 years. Proud father of the late Edward Hodgins, Clinton and Sandy Hodgins, and Martin Hodgins and Bonnie Baker Hodgins. Much loved grandpa Adam, Colton, Alecs, Sofia; Owen, and Abby. Stan will be missed by the Hodgins and Parkinson families. Predeceased by his parents Elmer and Violet (Crane) Hodgins.

Stan loved his family and friends very much. From the large annual family reunions to the small get togethers, he enjoyed having activity around the farm. He was often spending time in the sunroom, with Norma, just having time together. Stan’s sense of humour and quick wit will be remembered by everyone. It is doubtful a day shall pass without a reminder of Stan.

Hi Marty, Clint and Norma,

I wanted send my condolences about Stan. I will always remember our minor hockey days together in Lucan. Stan was always there to lift us up or put the boys in their place when we got out of hand. I remember he always got us a new stick if we scored a hat trick in a game. He was a great role model for all of us young hockey players. I will be thinking about you and your family.

Condolence from Harry Harris on June 7th, 2021 9:41 PM

Dear Norma, Clinton, and Marti,

I got behind in reading the newspapers this past week, and was catching up on the week-end. Needless to say, I was saddened to learn of Stan’s passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Stan. I too will miss him. He always was cheerful despite the many health issues he endured over the past years.
I have kept records from the beginning when I stored the boat, which was Oct. 14, 1991. Oct. 20, 2020 marked 29 years that I have had a connection with your family.
It is good that the Funeral Home has maintained links and a continuous running of the many family photos, for those who missed the opportunity to say our final farewell to Stan.
Yours sincerely,

Harry
