Stan was a close friend and co-worker who I will miss daily. He was full of life and loved it to its fullest. I worked with Stan 26 plus years and learned a lot from him. His knowledge and professionalism were unsurpassed. Besides being a Materials and Processes Engineer and auditor, his hobbies were impressive as well, keeping him busy learning and sharing with others after his retirement. Whether it was in technology, sports bike racing, welding, gunsmithing, metal detecting, scuba diving with nitrox, or even KCBS judging BBQ, he dove into projects headfirst and would not stop until he was the best. Everything he did was with 100% enthusiasm, commitment and pride. He loved life, funny pranks and office humor, cherished friendships and was very free hearted and giving to all. My sincere condolences to Amber and his family. RIP buddy, and don’t gee-yona up there!

Stan was a very nice guy who embraced life to the fullest. He was fearless. I believe he lived a happy and fullfilling life. Don't weep. He has now gone to an even better place.
