Mr. Gilliam (my home room teacher GUHS 1951) sorry for the loss of your lovely wife Joan. May God be with you during this time. Peggy Penrod Soliz

Dear Stan....my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family but I'm thinking also, of the great memories I have of you and Joan, particularly her warm smile and quiet elegance along with your sense of humor. We always looked forward to your attendance at our Grant class of '55 reunions, and most recently, seeing you at the Sac State Alumni Breakfast Club. I am so sorry for your loss but know that the wonderful memories you have with Joan will help sustain you through this difficult...

Dear Stan & family:
So sorry to hear of Joan's passing. She was not only a life-long partner to you but your best friend through the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Stan and family,
I was greatly saddened to hear of Joann's passing. My deepest sympathy to her family. I last saw Joann at The Bee's 25 Year Club in October.

I also work in Guest Services (as an usher) at the River Cats baseball games and always enjoyed visiting with Stan and Joann. They are both such wonderful people. Joann wore a wonderfully unique perfume and I would smell it as I walked through the stadium and would think to myself, "Joann's here somewhere!" I will miss...

Would like to offer my condolences
to all the family. God Bless you all.

Dear Stan and Family,

On behalf of the Grant Union High School Alumni Association, I am sending our deepest sympathy for your loss. Joan was a special part of our close knit alumni family that she married into and fully embraced for so many years.

Sincerely,
Johnnie Matranga
President, GUHSAA

Dear Stan and Family,

You and Joan have played such a special role in our lives ever since we were fortunate to cross paths at Grant High School. I especially remember how lucky my classes were to have Joan as our docent on field trips to the History Center. Then of course there were all of our class reunions where the two of you faithfully attended. Our lives have been enriched for knowing her.

Leora and Johnnie Matranga
