LESLIE, STANLEY VICTOR
At the Charlotte County Hospital, St. Stephen,NB on January 25,2016, Stanley (Stan) Victor Leslie of Deer Island, NB. Born at Deer Island on July 10, 1927, son of the late Osgood and Effie (Doughty) Leslie.
Stan is survived by daughters April Pendleton and Dawn Leslie; grandchildren: Jessi Green (Colin), Ben Pendleton (Lori) and Gabriel Leslie(Darby); great-grandchildren: Cora, Caleb, Katie, Grace, Jordyn, Seth; Keiran, Sophie and Cliff J. Also survived by brothers Williard Leslie (Elaine) and Roger Leslie (Peggy); sisters Ruth Lyons; Muriel Estabrooks (Ron); Katherine Conley; and Ida Leslie. Stan was predeceased by one grandson, Jamie Leavitt and by sisters Doris Cogswell and Betty Heywood, brother Maxwell Leslie and son-in-law Vance Pendleton. He leaves many nieces and nephews and specially enjoyed frequent visits from nephew Wade Lyons and niece Shirley Lord.
In a long, varied working life, Stan had been a weir fisherman (he always said the best pay was the sunrise view of the bay); pulpwood worker; truck driver; crane operator; mechanic; White Rose Gas station attendant; general electrician and plumber's helper; all round handyman. In recent years he had been the Fairhaven Cemetery caretaker and also looked after several cottages, forming close friendships with summer visitors to Deer Island. Stan enjoyed watching wildlife (especially eagles and osprey), reading Old West history and taking friends out for boat rides, but his first love was stock car racing. He did some racing in the 1950s around NB and was a regular camper at Speedway 660 in Geary, NB for many years.
Arrangements are in care of the St. George Funeral Home (755-3533) 26 Portage Street, St. George NB. By his request, there will be no service at this time. A graveside interment service will be held in the spring at the Fairhaven Community Cemetery.
In Stan's memory, donations to the Fairhaven Cemetery Fund or donor's choice would be welcomed.
