Stephen Harper

1938 - 2024

Stephen Harper passed on October 23, 2024. (1938-2024).

Stephen leaves behind his beloved wife Lana Pollack Harper of 56 years, his son Russell Harper, his daughter Gillian Harper and her husband Jim Manson. Adored grandchildren, James, Sophie, Owen, Victoria, Juliana and Caroline, his brother-in-law Stuart Pollack and wife Diane, his sister Carolyn and her husband Marcel Elefant.

Stephen was raised in Cote-des-Neiges, Montreal. He attended the Université de Montréal first in pharmacy and then for law school where he excelled and discovered his true passion. He earned his law degree in 1963 and was called to the bar in 1964. He enjoyed long-lasting friendships with his clients, especially the Maurice Pollack Foundation, where he always put the interest of the family first. He enjoyed tennis and golf and cheering for the Canadiens. Some of his happiest hours were spent at the forum with his great friend and neighbor. He loved vacationing in Maine, speaking French, driving his car and coffee time.

He will be remembered for his cowboy hat, boots and love for all things country-Western. Cowboys are easy to love. He was grateful for a fortunate life.
