Kathy, Jason, Christian and Katie,
It's been years since I've seen you guys but I always managed to either speak briefly with or wave to Stan whenever I was back in Lee. From being a Pee Wee and High School football coach to me and other young kids at the time, to hooking up my mom with his awesome snow plowing skills, he was always a gentleman who had a nice thing to say and a smile on his face. He truly will be missed by many including myself. Thoughts and prayers to you all.
