BROCK,
Stanley
E., B.A. Hon., F.S.A., C.M. (1912-2008)
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Stanley E.
BROCK on February 21, 2008. He is survived by his wife
Gertrude
BLONDEAU; their children Donald of Montreal; Alan (Judy) of Okanagan
Falls, British Columbia and Joyann (Robert
GUAY) of Beaconsfield
and five cherished grandchildren; Maxwell, Samara, Deena, Jennifer
and Patrick. He was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and attended the
University of Manitoba where he was awarded the Governor General's
Gold Medal for Academic Achievement. The Canadian Red Cross Society
named him an Honorary Member for Services Rendered. He was recognized
by the Ordre de Merite de la Culture Francaise for exemplary
integration into the Francophone Community. In 1978 the Governor
General of Canada presented him as a Member of the Order of Canada.
An actuary by profession, he moved to Quebec City in the mid-1930s
where he joined the Industrial Life Insurance Company, a very
small and unknown company. Over the next 42 years he was instrumental
in the successful development of this organization and completed
his career as President. Today Industrial-Alliance is one of
the largest companies in the insurance and financial services
field in Canada. Throughout his career he remained actively involved
in community services. In 1956, he founded, as President, the
first Readaptation Clinic for Handicapped Persons in Quebec.
In 1961, as President of the Canadian Red Cross in Quebec City,
he helped to construct and fund the first Blood Transfusion Center.
He served as President and member of the Board of the Jeffrey
Hale Hospital over a 20-year period. He was also President of
the campaign that raised the funds required to construct the
Y.M.C.A. building on Holland Avenue and similarly led other campaigns
in support of various charitable causes. A long time active member
of the Rotary Club, he was named Honorary Member for his devotion
to the Club's activities in support of handicapped persons. Amongst
Friends, he would often talk about the stroke of good luck that
brought him to Quebec City - a beautiful, fascinating and most
desirable city in which to live. Living in a bilingual and highly
cultured atmosphere was a source of personal enrichment for him.
In his opinion, any sportsman would find it difficult to find
a better environment offering close at hand the opportunity to
participate in a variety of outdoor activities. His sporting
activities included golf, curling, fishing, skiing, and hunting.
A favourite activity was breaking fresh trails in snow covered
mountainous areas on his snowmobile. He was a founding director
and President of Cap Rouge Golf Club and had long memberships
at Royal Quebec Golf Club, Atlantis Golf Club in Florida, and
the Quebec Garrison Club. At the family's request a private memorial
service was conducted in Quebec City. In remembrance, charitable
donations can be made to Chalmers-Wesley United Church, 78 Ste-Ursule,
Quebec, Quebec G1R 4E8.
