J. Stanford
HEIRONS, died January 2, 2007, after a lengthy illness.
Although in his ninety second year, he bravely maintained his
desire to live independently in his country home. Born April 15,
1915 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, he grew up in Montreal, Toronto and
London, Ontario. As a young man he was involved with the Cub
Scouts of Canada where he met his future wife, also a Cub leader.
He served with the Royal Canadian Air Force in Goose Bay, Labrador.
Sixty years ago, together with his wife
Verdun
(VAILE, deceased
1978) and young son, he moved to Kitchener where he worked as
superintendent of the laundry at Kitchener Waterloo Hospital.
A few years later, his second son was born. During his career,
he spearheaded the organization of the Ontario Association of
Institutional Laundy Managers and began laundry training courses
at Guelph Agriculture College. For his own enjoyment, he ran
a small greenhouse, attending Kitchener Market in spring with
his flower and vegetable plants. More recently, he developed
a love for cooking and baking and gave away many dozens of cookies,
tarts, pies and cinnamon buns. Surviving are his sons Stanford A.
