STEWART, Ed
Founder and Builder of Ed Stewart’s Equipment, Erin, Ontario

Hard at work and hard at play, John Edwin Stewart lived life to the limit. Whether it was building a successful business or racing cars, horses and snowmobiles, Ed knew what he wanted and didn’t stop until he took home the prize. Prizes included a shed full of trophies, and numerous sales and community awards (including Rotary’s Paul Harris Award and Lion’s Helen Keller Award), but all paled when compared to Ed’s ultimate treasure, his family.

Nothing has made him prouder than the way his two families have blended so smoothly these last 20 years since he married Lorna Marshall (nee Bessey). Ed’s only regret was that his declining health limited the travelling and fun that Lorna so richly deserved after caring for him so well.

Ed was born in 1932 in Ospringe, the second of Olive (nee Atcheson) and David Stewart’s three sons, Vern being older and Aleck, younger. Ed’s Dad made a living trucking livestock, and Ed was always hanging around the garage. He started doing grease jobs and oil changes at 13, the same year his Dad lent him the truck to drive into Erin to write his Grade 8 final exams. His formal schooling done, Ed wanted only one thing–to make lots of money. Cars and girls were expensive!

In 1955 he opened a one-bay garage on the Ospringe corner and married Jean Theaker, who’d he’d met at the swimming hole on the Eramosa-Erin Townline. It was thin living in “the shack” behind the garage when the boys were born, first Randy and then Jeff, but Jean was right beside him every step of the way and the garage quickly became a popular hangout for local farmers, attracted as much by Ed’s sense of fun as his commitment to service.

Ed’s easy smile, friendly manner and slightly off-coloured jokes stayed with him his whole life, but he was no pushover. As he expanded the garage, started selling tractors, eventually moving into Erin and then Brisbane, bought more property and added agricultural equipment lines, Ed proved a tough negotiator in a briskly competitive industry. Today Stewart’s Equipment is one of the largest, independent, family-owned agricultural equipment suppliers in Ontario.

As hard as Ed worked, there was always time for fun, especially if it meant going fast. First it was horses. He was buying, selling and racing them across fields in his teens. For one season in 1968 he owned a race horse, Lady Farmerette, ridden by an apprentice jockey from Toronto named Sandy Hawley. In 1968 when he started selling snowmobiles, of course he had to race them. In 1970 he entered his first tractor pull at a fall fair, and for a decade kept in shape hauling 150-lb ring weights. But nothing fed his horsepower fever like stock car racing. In his biggest race in 1974, he pitted his skills against some of the best in Canada and the USA at Cayuga speedway in a 250 lap event in which he finished 10th in a field of 32 cars.

Ed Stewart died at home in his 83rd year on Sunday April 5 2015. Leaving behind his wife Lorna, his children Randy (Debbie), Jeff (Laurie), Scott (Karin), Kelly (Harvey), Darryl (Christina), his grandchildren Shannon, Leslie, Darcey, Nina, Lars, Brett and Jaxon, his brother Vernon (Laura), sister-in-law Audrey, many nieces and nephews and countless friends. He is predeceased by his first wife Jean, his parents David and Olive Stewart, and brother Aleck.

Right until the end Ed was joking with his care team and cuddling with his grandchildren. He may have watched the animated movie “Cars” more times than any Grandpa ever.

Friends will be received at Butcher Funeral Home Monday April 6th 7-9 p.m., Tuesday April 7th 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. for visitation services. Funeral Service to be held at Butcher Funeral Home, (5399 Main St. S. Erin, ON) Wednesday April 8, 2015 at 2:00 p.m.

Donations may be made to Erin Wellington Community Services (EWAG), Upper Credit Humane Society or Erin Agricultural Society.

HENDY, Thomas Corkett BA, LLB, QC

He leaves his wife and partner of 46 years Judy (nee Elo) and beloved daughters, Jennifer (Cam Eades), Meredith (Sean Warwick) and Alison (James Coulombe), grandchildren Heather and Thomas Keery, Ryan and Braden Warwick and Nicholas and Mira Coulombe, sisters Bev Murdison (Andy), Julie Cheesbrough and Sue Fleming (Jock) and mother-in-law Helen Elo, sister-in-law Chris Elo and brother-in-law Kevin Kelly. Cherished uncle to numerous nieces and nephews as well as their partners. He was an extra father and grandfather to Bernadette, Liam and Kate Jarvis.

Tom attended Upper Canada College and Trinity College at U of T followed by Osgoode Hall Law School. Tom loved the law and had a brilliant legal mind. He mentored young lawyers whenever they came to him with a problem and he devoted whatever time was required to support them. He often took cases for little or no financial reward simply because it was the right thing to do. He was a member of the Zeta Psi fraternity, friend of the Lorne Scots, past president of the Brampton Georgetown PC Association, past president of the Peel Law Association and founding President and longtime board member of the John Howard Society of Peel.

Tom was a loving father and was devoted to his three girls and six grandchildren. His greatest accomplishment by far was his family. We will always cherish our many ski trips, times spent at the Caledon Ski Club and our memories at Hendy Hof Too. Tom had a love of dogs and was affectionately known as "Uncle Cookie" to his four legged friends. His sense of humour and quick wit was enjoyed by all of his many friends and family.

The family will receive friends at the Butcher Funeral Home, 5399 Main St. S., Erin from 2:00 – 4:00 and 7:00 – 9:00 pm on Tuesday, November 18.
