I met Stan 45 years ago when Geaneen and I met in Bunco club and became forever best friends! He always smiled and greeted me like I was a VIP in his life! I donâ??t think he ever met a stranger! He became close friends with most everyone he met! Iâ??m so blessed to have Stan and Geaneen in my life! 💕
I'm thankful to have known Stan since I was a kid. You didn't have to talk to him very long to be encouraged by his kindness. He was always the same. No matter where we would run into him, at a football game, or walking in Spitler Woods, or at Walmart, he would always take the time to stop and talk to us. He had a special gift of encouragement.Our prayers are with the family. Stan will be missed.Mike & Anh Karch
My son and Zac were buds in school. I know Jason thought a lot of Stan! Time and miles have separated our families so we haven't had contact for many years. Prayers for the family of a great guy! John Felter!
As someone that was fortunate to have worked around Stan at Tate & Lyle, Stan was a man who treated everyone with respect. Stan will always be the thankful, kind & outgoing person of my life. I am very thankful to have gotten to know him. I am very sorry for the loss of our loved one.Larry Auton,CoGeneration/Tate & Lyle
I graduated in 1968 with Laura, but lost touch after high school. I always loved the way Stan walked & called him â?? cowboy â??. Of course, he never noticed me. I have many fond memories of them. I didnâ??t know that Laura had passed away, living in NC makes it difficult to keep current on things back home. Praying for their families. Carla Kraft Garceau.
It was always a joy to be around Stan. His smile was infectious. So sorry for his loss. God's comfort & peace to his family & friends.
Stan was such a nice guy. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. I really enjoyed working with him at Decatur HealthCare.
Stan was a good friend and a terrific Grandfather.We will miss him.. I'm sure he is fishing in Heaven. Tom and Patty Wiegand
