DANIEL EVERETT STOVEL, Maj. (ret'd) April 3, 1935 - August 5, 2012 Daniel Everett Stovel gently slipped away after a brief illness in Kentville, Nova Scotia, while on vacation. Predeceased by his first wife Maureen (Sillers) and son Stephen, he is desperately missed by his wife rIneke (Hardy) and deeply mourned by sons Stuart and Dan, granddaughter Lia, brother Gery, and many other family members and friends who loved him. Born in Winnipeg into the family who founded Stovel Company Ltd, pioneer printers in Western Canada, Dan spent most of his life serving Canada as a helicopter pilot with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. After postings all over Canada, in the US and the Middle East and obtaining a master's in Public Administration along the way, he retired in Ottawa and continued working for DND in a civilian capacity. He retired for good in 1995, in time to nurse his wife Maureen through her final illness. Dan was a gentleman of the old school and he will be missed by those who encountered his wit and grace. They will remember him for his unflagging courage in the face of the growing challenges that became his lot. A family ceremony has taken place in Nova Scotia. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date, details TBA. Online condolences may be left at the White Funeral Home obituary website at http://www.whitefamilyfuneralhome.com/obituaries. Donations in Dan's memory to the Annapolis Valley Hospice Foundation or a charity of your choice will be greatly appreciated.

Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • Dear Ineke, Dan, Stuart, and family My deep condolences to all of you. A difficult loss indeed. My fondest memory of Dan was over at auntie Harriet's one day while Dan was home on leave from the forces. I was about 13 at the time and Dan was the older wiser more experienced cousin and looking rather handsome in his uniform. At the time I was quite smitten. A lovely memory for me. I spoke with Jeri-Lynn and she mentioned there is a service for Dan on Friday. My thoughts are with you and I will light a candle on Friday in remembrance.
