  [[ Obituary: http://www.ogs.on.ca/ogspi/200oh/06hoa001.htm#hoar HOAR _ William Stewart, born August 31, 1913 in Moncton, New Brunswick. Passed away in the early morning hours of June 13th, 2006 at Vancouver General Hospital. Predeceased by his wife Myra (Margaret) in 1996, daughter Kenzie in 1996 and his brother Gerald, he leaves behind his sister Edie Ogilvie (Cal) of Miramachi, NB, sister-in-law Laura Hoar of Moncton, NB, son Stewart (Linda) in Green Bay, Wisconsin, son David (Noreen Rudd) in Ladner and daughter Melanie Galloway (Bill) in Vancouver. He was a special grampie for 7 grandchildren and great-grampie for 7 who will find his departure leaves special memories. For Bill, family was important and his cousins, nieces and nephews were all a large part of this. He continued to keep alive the gatherings of family and friends over tea or for the "Saturday Lunch" (or Saturday Lunch on Sunday evening with wine), a tradition that was started with his wife Myra in the fifties when university students and their families were frequent visitors. Bill taught and mentored many students, first at the University of New Brunswick and then at the University of British Columbia where he became the first Professor of Fisheries in 1945. After a distinguished career as a scientist during which he served on many national and international committees and for which he received an Order of Canada and Honourary Degrees from several universities, he went on to write and self publish genealogies under his own publishing enterprise called "Tangled Roots Press". He was a remarkable man who always looked for the good in others and would counsel "sleep on it before reacting". He always said he would pass on as a result of "too many birthdays" and "I'll have to watch out for natural causes". The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Arbutus Care Centre and the 6th floor ACE unit at VGH who provided the compassion and care he needed to preserve his independence. A celebration of his life will be arranged for later this summer. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the charity of your choice or the "Hoar Memorial Lecture Fund", Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, #2370 - 6270 University Boulevard, Vancouver, B.C. V6T 1Z4, would be appreciated. Published in the Vancouver Sun from 6/16/2006 - 6/17/2006. ]]
