Sarah, John, Todd, Marley, Preston and Katie will sorely miss
their Poppa. Uncle Arn leaves giant shoes to fill in the lives
of the many Stapleton/Preston relatives spread throughout the
world. As corporate lawyer (having graduated from Osgoode Hall
in 1950), Director of Personnel and chief labour contract negotiator
for General Motors of Canada over a 29 year career, A.G. was
the youngest director in the company's history. His was the voice
of reason - the calm amidst many a storm during one of the most
challenging eras in the United Auto Workers/General Motors contract
evolution. Many said that Arn's unique ability to compartmentalize
complicated concepts won over both union foes and management
associates alike. He was able to maintain composure by utilizing
a wonderful sense of humour centered around a quick wit and well
placed one-liners. A man of few words, when he spoke, people
listened. An English scholar (Words Are Important!), a history
and travel buff, a Wagnerian connoisseur, a lover of opera and
Shakespeare and one heck of a bridge and chess player, Arn was
a 50+ year subscriber to the Stratford Festival (his second most
favorite place after the family cottage at Inverhuron Beach).
Always willing to give his ample talents to worthy causes, Arn
served as Chairman and long time director of the Oshawa General
Hospital, board member of both St. Andrew's Church in Oshawa
and First-St. Andrew's United Church in London, and was a member
in standing of the Law Society of Canada. In the words of his
beloved Shakespeare -"to thine own self be true". A celebration
of Arn's life will be held at First-St. Andrew's United Church,
350 Queens Avenue at Waterloo, London on Saturday, January 5
at 1: 00 p.m. Reception to follow. Cremation and Spring interment
at Avondale Cemetery, Stratford. Memorial contributions to the
Heart and Stroke Foundation, 633 Colborne Street, Suite 150,
London, Ontario N6B 2V3 would be gratefully appreciated.
