MOIR: We regret to announce the passing of Stuart Taylor Moir on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at the Brandon Regional Health Centre. Born April 24th, 1931, Stuart spent his first few years in Alberta before he and his parents, Robert and Olive Moir (nee Taylor) and brother Bruce found their way to Manitoba. They acquired land between Minnedosa and Rapid City, where they were late pioneers. Based on childhood memories of clearing their land, some of Dad’s favourite stories were about axes and skills with dynamite. In 1960, Stuart married and is survived by Marion Margaret Elaine Faulkner, a native of Nova Scotia then in training at the Brandon Mental Hospital. They had 54 great years together and Dad recently told Mom that he hoped for 50 more. Stuart and Marion had two sons – Kirk and Jeff. Kirk’s family lives in New Westminster, BC, and is made up of his wife Shammi and two boys, Mitchell and Russell. Jeff lives in Toronto with his wife Judy and two children, Gillian and Robert. Stuart Moir loved and was proud of his family and his Scottish heritage, as a Gordon Clansman. He was a strong man, was committed to being of service to his friends and his community, and will be missed by many. A private family graveside ceremony was held at Minnedosa Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Stuart would be gratefully accepted to the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum, 300 Commonwealth Way, Brandon, Manitoba, R7A 5Y5.
