STEWART: Paul F. “Scooter” of Russeldale

Passed Peacefully at L.H.S.C – Victoria Hospital on October 11, 2020 at the age of 57. Beloved husband of Deborah (McTavish) Stewart for 28 years. Proud father of Brad and Bridget Skirten and Matt and Lisa Skirten. Adored Grandpa of Owen, Justin; Jaime, Aidan and Madison. Survived by his mother Margaret Stewart, brothers, brothers-in-law, sisters and sister-in-laws Sylvia and Vic Post, Donna and Dave VanAllen, Rob Stewart, Ron Stewart and Steven and Maureen McTavish. Paul will be fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews Rachel VanAllen, Tyler (Char) VanAllen and Sarah and Ben Dekleer. Predeceased by his father Floyd Stewart (1995), father-in-law Stuart McTavish (2012), and mother-in-law Ethel McTavish (2013).

Paul graduated his electrical apprenticeship at Fanshawe College. Worked at JMR, Kraft, Nabisco, Can grow, and the Ritz Villa, Mitchell. He was a passionate farmer who although worked hard, played even harder. Paul will be fondly remembered for his contagious laughter, great stories and wealth of knowledge.

The family would like to extend their thanks to the doctors and nurses at Stratford General Hospital And L.H.S.C for their support and compassion. A special thanks to Dr. Jerome Jadd for his exceptional care and compassion.

Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at a later date when friends and family can gather and share memories and hugs. Arrangements entrusted to Haskett Funeral Homes, EXETER (519-235-1220).

Condolence from Brent and Sharen Dawson on October 13th, 2020 8:05 PM

Paul was a great guy. He was always a great neighbour and freind on line 17. We are very sorry for your loss with deepest sympathy.

Condolence from Glenn & Missy Pfaff on October 13th, 2020 8:16 PM

We are shocked and saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence from Marilyn Abraham on October 13th, 2020 9:26 PM

Yep – Paul will be remembered for his shenanigans!
It was non-stop fun having Paul come for visits, as he was always eager to lead the pack of Schieck cousins his age. From playing tag in the creek or being pretend circus tightrope walkers along the railroad irons or playing hide ‘n seek buck-naked in the hay stack . . . Paul was never short of ideas! And we are just as eager to play along!
As life would have it – sometimes we become consumed far to easily with achieving work and building goals that we miss the everyday wonders of hanging out with those whom we held such fond memories growing up. And I will treasure the few times in the past decade when I was able to physically reconnect with Paul and laugh again ’til tears rolled down my cheek. Some people are good for the soul – and Paul was one of those people for me.

Deb, Brad, Matt and families,

Scooter was a partier to some, and a farmer to others. Well, he was alot of things and they were all precious. I was lucky enough to see more than one side of him. Especially the side that fell in love with Deb, her sons, and eventually the grandchildren they shared.
Happy memories of Scooter and Floyd as they farmed with my brother Jim, and father,Harold.
Miss the old days, our hearts go out to you all.
