Stan was soft spoken but his word meant a lot.
Your Stan and my Stan had a lot of fun times together and good hunting memories.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May all your memories remain with you.

Stanley J, Hance was the older brother to my father Howard M. Hance. Two finer gentlemen you will never meet.
I listened intently to many fine stories of those 2 boys growing from my Grandmother Ida. I will cherish those stories forever along with all of the great memories I have spending time with Uncle Stan in my youth.
Uncle Stan I know you are in a better place now, but I miss you and I know many others do as well.

Stan was a GOOD man. He always was doing for others and never calling attention to himself. The ever-present grin lighted up his presence and the room around him. We don't see very many of his kind and we're poorer for his passing.

I especially enjoyed the Men's Breakfast Bible Study with Stan--he brought a wealth of faith and practical experience to every conversation. He was a friend whom I will greatly miss.
May God's comfort and peace be with all Stan's family and friends.
