I learned today from my brother Tom that Stan had passed away. I was Stan's neighbor and want to send my condolences to the family. I spent many hours at the Waling house as a child, mostly playing with Sue, but our younger brothers, Stan and Tom, played with us too. Please give my sympathies to Sue, Linda, Steve, and Mrs Waling. You were all great neighbors and I am so sorry for your loss.
