We have lost a GREAT friend. Stan WILL be missed. Some memories we have are: Stan had the knack of making ALL his ‘girls’ feel like they were his favorite. Don’t tell anyone, BUT ‘I’ was his favorite. Every time we saw Stan, he always asked about our son, Richard. Stan taught Richard to play the game ‘Rocks’ that Stan invented. Richard taught Stan to play Yahtzee. What delightful memories we will always have of Stan.
