Sterling was truly “larger than life” with a loud, boisterous laugh, a wonderful sense of humour and a unique personality. At Sterling's request, a private family service and cremation have taken place. Final arrangements completed by the Walter D.

To honour Sterling's life, a donation to Hospice of Windsor or the Cancer Clinic would be greatly appreciated.
