It is with heavy hearts that we wish to announce the passing of our beloved husband, dad, grandfather and great grandfather Stuart Joseph Mills on Saturday April 11, 2015 in his 93rd year. He leaves behind his loving wife of 65 years Helen (nee Phillips). Loving father of Sharon, Randy (Della), Wendy Laing (Robert), and Patricia Mowat (Jamie). Cherished Grandfather of Russill (Rowena), Zachary, Katherine, and Marcella Mills, Justin Laing, Lindsay Bohar (Tom), Chelsea Benson (Rory), and Daphne Mowat. Dear Great Grandfather of Cedric and Torin Mills, and Isabella and Noah Bohar. Stuart was predeceased by his parents Vernon and Ella Mills. Stu moved to Welland as a young boy. He was a World War II Veteran who served overseas with the Queens Own Rifles for four years. He worked at Stelco; Page Hersey works for 41 years, and was the paymaster for many of those years. Stuart loved to sing, and was a honourary lifetime member of the Robert Wood Singers. He sang bass and everyone who heard him was moved by the richness of his voice. He was an active member of the United Church Choir, and also served as church treasurer for many years. His rendition of Flanders Fields on Remembrance Day will long be remembered. Stu was a kind, gentle and loving soul who was loved by all and will be missed by all who knew him. In memory of Stu, donations to the Central United Church, 12 Young Street, Welland, Ontario, L3B 4C4, would be appreciated.
