Stan was a special man...a kind of dying breed that knew where he stood and was willing to speak his mind. Such a great sense of humor...always making people smile and laugh. My heart and prayers for peace go out to Candy, Laurie and Jonathon...he loved his family and community.

Coach James was my basketball coach at Moselle Elementary in the 80's. Coach James was a coach, a big brother and a mentor - his words of advice and guidance were extremely influential in my life and the lessons I learned from him have carried me through many adversities. My thoughts and prayers are with the James family during your time of grief. Rest Easy Coach!!!

We sure had a lot of fun growing up together. Our families had get togethers often and that was how we found out Stan was so afraid of King Kong. May God bless your family during this sad time.
