Here's a nice photo from the Aldergrove News of Dr. Stanley P. Findlay standing in front of his medical clinic, which was located at 27124 Fraser Highway. The clinic was built by JE Willson, who also built the original Royal Bank (27257 Fraser Hwy), the original Super-Valu (27185 Fraser Hwy) and Buckerfield's (27252 Fraser Hwy).
The Royal Bank and Super-Valu buildings are still standing, but Buckerfield's burned in 1979 and was replaced with a 'pseudo look alike' building. The former location of Dr. Findlay's medical clinic is now home to the Kick It Up A Notch Academy of Dance.
Dr. Findlay and his wife Audrey were very active in Aldergrove community groups. They were married in 1941 in Vancouver and moved to Aldergrove from Fraser Lake in 1952, when Dr. Findlay established his medical practice in Aldergrove. Sadly, their house was demolished some time after 1994 and is now a gravel parking lot. Dr. Findlay was born in Vancouver in 1892 and passed away at Langley Memorial in 1984 at the age of 92. Audrey passed away in 1990 at the age of 86.
