RICHARD (REG) STABNER April 8, 1928 - January 20, 2016 It is with deep sadness that we announce dad's passing on Wednesday, January 20, 2016 with family by his side. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Ruth Elaine (nee Hickman); his infant son Randy; his parents Adolph and Amanda Stabner.

Dad was born in 1928 and grew up on a farm. He married Mom on August 20, 1954 and went on to have eight children, 13 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren and he cherished us all dearly. Dad had a great sense of humour and, right up until the end, enjoyed making his girls laugh. His passion and pride was gardening and he liked to compare the quality of his vegetables to other gardener's harvest. Dad enjoyed the companionship of many dogs throughout his life....and they were all named Big Dog. The family is deeply grateful for the loving care that Dad received for the last three years at Maples Personal Care Home.
