Stuart Archibald passed away on Feb. 27, 2022. He is survived by Janice (Marchand), father to Ian; stepfather of Ann and Greg Folker; his mother, Ruth Ann Harris; siblings, Jon, Wally (Laura Dawson) (Artsci’86) and Susan; nephew Graham (Artsci‘20); and longtime friends Steven Fehr (Artsci’84), John Keith (Law ‘91), and Joan Harcourt, Literary Editor, Queen’s Quarterly.

Family, friends and colleagues are gutted by the sudden loss of Stuart. He was a thoughtful person and respected driver of semi-trailers and heavy off-road vehicles from his youth until early February. When not applying knowledge from his Dalhousie University BComm or his time in Goodwin Hall to the petroleum sector or atmospheric gases in Canada and the U.S., he maintained his personal fleet of “buggies” favouring the W123. Stuart’s attention to detail and depth of knowledge about the equipment in his care were unmatched. He maintained his fitness as an avid long-distance cyclist and enjoyed downhill skiing.

Roger Burton Stotts was a proud graduate of Queen’s University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in metallurgical engineering in 1953. In spite of the fact that he went on to earn a Master’s of engineering science from the University of Western Ontario (as it was then known) in 1970, his love for and loyalty to Queen’s was unwavering. He died at his home in Stratford, Ont., in the company of as many members of his family as could be there in these COVID times, including his wife of 68 years, Mary Eleanor (MacDowell) Stotts. A lifelong baseball player, coach, and fan, his final words were “Batter up!”

Bruce died April 1, 2021; he was 84. Bruce went to work in the technical department at Alcan Aluminum Kingston Works immediately after graduation. He was with the company until retirement in 1997. While with Alcan, he worked in Kingston twice, in Fairmont, W.Va.; Oswego, N.Y.; Cleveland, Ohio; Russellville, Ky.; and Detroit, Mich. He worked on foil products during his career, helping develop stock for aluminum cans (most notably for Coors); recycling, and retired as director, automotive development. One of his career highlights was working with an all-aluminum vehicle for Ford. He was a skier, golfer, and curler and played touch football; he volunteered in several community endeavours. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Ann, and their daughter Beth.

Dr. Robert McAuley died at home on March 11, 2021, at the age of 92, predeceased by his wife of 57 years, Marion (Boyce), KGH Nursing’54. He is dearly missed by his children, Robert, BASc’84, William, BSc(Hon)’79, and Jane, Meds’87 (David Stieb, Meds’87), and grandson, Joseph (Stieb), MA’22. Born in Ottawa and raised by his widowed, school teacher mother, Margaret (McIlraith), Arts’16, and brother John (deceased), Meds’50, Bob had many adventures as a Queen’s student, waiting tables on Georgian Bay steamships while taking correspondence courses to complete his BA, working as an ordinary seaman (HMCS Nootka, University Naval Training Division), and providing medical care by float plane and boat in Northern B.C. After he completed his psychiatry residency (UofT’60), the family returned to Kingston, where he practised psychiatry until retiring in 1994. Bob embraced life and big ideas, and was well loved as a husband, father and Grampa.
