Obituary:
STANLEY WILLIAM JAMES HARPER
August 1, 1933 - December 2, 2019

It is with great sadness and heartbreak that we announce the passing of Stanley William James Harper on December 2, 2019 at the age of 86 years. Stan was born in Calgary on August 1, 1933 and was the youngest of 5 children. Stan lived almost his entire life in Calgary. He attended Central Memorial High School and went to the University of Alberta where he graduated with a degree in Petroleum Engineering. His professional career started with Mobil Oil where he stayed for several years before leaving to join his father’s business, Harper’s Tire (1931) Ltd.
Stan liked to volunteer his time for worthy causes. He was an active long-time charter member of the Calgary Lions Club serving as their president for several years. Stan was one of the founders of the Western Canada Tire Dealers Association, he also served on their board of directors, was their president for 2 years and was inducted into their Hall of Fame as recognition of his contributions to the Tire Industry.
Stan was a great athlete and spent a lot of time playing tennis, golfing and skiing. He was a fan of all sports and coached minor hockey in his community for several years. He enjoyed watching hockey and was a season ticket holder of the Flames from the day they arrived in Calgary.
Stan and Bev loved to travel. They went all over the world together. Some of the highlights included Japan, South Africa, Hawaii, Europe and Australia.
Stan’s family was very important to him. He did everything he could to support them in their endeavors and rarely missed a concert or sporting event. Stan especially loved his 2 Grandsons. He loved to watch them play sports and went to as many of their games and other events that he could.
Stan is survived by his wife Beverley, his sons Danny (Sally), Tom (Angie) and Michael (Loretta), his Grandsons Cleeve and Riley, his sisters Joyce and Millie as well as numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.
