I received an e-mail today informing me that Sam Estwick, former member of the STC and editor of Stimulus way back when it first started, passed away on February 13, 2008, at the age of 92.
A celebration of Sam’s life will be held on Saturday March 1st, at 2:00 p.m. in Lupton Hall, at The Perley – Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre (PRVHC), 1750 Russell Rd, Ottawa.
In memoriam, donations in Sam’s name, to Perley – Rideau Foundation, Gloucester Senior Adults Centre, or charity of choice is greatly appreciated.
What a sad event. Mimi and I had hoped to talk with him last year about his history with the STC and technical writing in general but he was too ill at the time. My thoughts and wishes are with his widow, Louise, and his family.
