Newman Stanley Davenport

Mr. Davenport was a wonderful English teacher. He opened my door to creativity and confidence in writing and expression. I remember my junior year of English IB was so full of creativity and that continued through college and currently in my engineering profession. Mr. Davenport was a big part of my educational development and I wish I had let him know when I realized how lucky I was to have him as a teacher! I will think of him often, smile when I am writing technical...

Dear Sarah and Family.
I considered Stan and true friend. I will remember him for his smile, his wisdom his laughter and the times we spent together talking about the ills of the world. When I lived on Madrone, he would always drive by, honk, wave and smile no matter if I was outside or in.
As you know, we taught the same students at Franklin for 5 years. He with English and me with Biology. Teaching the IB kids together was one of the best times we shared. I will also miss that....

I am saddened to hear the news of Mr. Davenport's passing. As a former student of his from Franklin High School, I will always remember and be thankful for his dedication to his students and their success.

To the Davenport family,

Mr. Davenport was a wonderful teacher, whose enthusiasm for his subject and passion for imparting his knowledge were a huge part of my high school experience.

My sincerest condolences.

We have the promise of a better life to come.

Dear Sara,

Dear Sara ~ I think of you (and Stan, of course) nearly every day now. I remember the first time Robby & I met him. You two were so in love and proud of each other ~ you of his grilling skills and he of your clever cheese-inside-the-hamburger-patty. You were blessed with many years of that mutual love and you will be blessed with many years of Stan's love shining down on you and your family. I send you love, too ~ Jeanne
