Stanley "Stan" Muise

Loving husband to Elizabeth (Betty) (nee Parsons), father and grandfather passed away after a month-long battle with Covid-19.

Born in Sluice Point, Nova Scotia, to a large, loving family, Stan shared his East Coast Acadian roots and innate kindness to all who were lucky enough to meet him. Whether it was a big “lobster boil”, a “feed of clams”, or playing his guitar while singing some beloved country tunes, Stan’s enthusiasm for a life was irresistible.

He was the consummate entertainer, and rarely went to a gathering without his guitar and songbook. In between songs he’d share a joke, perform magic trick and tell some great stories.

Stan met Betty when he left Nova Scotia for the bright lights of Toronto, hoping to make it as a singer-songwriter. On stage one night, he spied her, the love of his life, in the audience as he sang “Don’t be Angry.” As a couple, they did everything together (having fun, travelling and doting on their granddaughter.)

In addition to Betty, Stan leaves daughter Sharon (Rich), son Fred (Alan), his granddaughter, Samantha, and his seven sisters, Eleanor Brooks, Phyllis Houston, BettyBouchie, Cecile Thibeau, JoyceSisco, Brenda Surette and Dianne Burke. And many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Ever industrious, Stan took on many extra jobs to better provide for his family, finally retiring from the LCBO in 2000. He was known for always finding a new pastime that he would jump into with 200% effort.He was a true jack of all trades with a hand ready to help out.

His loss will be felt by many of the good friends he made among neighbours he looked after, snowbirds in Florida, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Masonic Temple brothers and the many seniors he entertained.

Safe home – Stan,
Husband, Dad, Poppa, Brother, Uncle, Friend.
