Not sure what to say?

Missing my father this Christmas... Stan´s songs bring me back to my childhood when he was still with us. It means more to me than anyone would ever know. He was so funny (especially to a fellow Scandinavian)! I´m sure he is missed, especially this time of year. Merry Christmas

Talked to Stan and Barbara on the phone several times. All I can think of is what Uncle Torvald would say, "Stan and Doug, and Yogi: it all yust vent down so pretty doggone smood dere, see." Tack sa mycket from a "sqvare-head Svede".

I had the honor of meeting Stan at the puyallup fair Victorian Christmas..unfortunately I don´t remember the year. After watching him on TV all those years he was on it was wonderful to actually meet him. He was very kind and thanked me for watching the show those years. I quit when it went off the air.I loved him as a child and realized when I met him so many years later... I still did. He brought happiness and joy to that little girl who was told she was worthless. For that time of...

Like so many kids growing up in seattle in the 50's and early 60's, I watched Stan and No Mo faithfully every week afternoon. His show was a delightful mixture of silliness and some very good lessons about life in general. In later days, we, my wife and I , and many of the faithfull would go to see him at the Ballard Scandinavian festival. He was always gracious to all of his fans. With his passing, we lost a true gentleman.

Loved playing clarinet with him at the Sons of Norway in Poulsbo Washington. Life long Stan's Clubhouse person.

went to see Stan at Ballard Seafood Fest in his mid eighties and he was still a sparkling performer and loveable guy. I always went home with another signed CD. The live shows were great.

I am in my mid-70s now and grew up watching Stan and No Mo when I was a kid. Around 1955-56, Stan held a show at Jane Addams Jr. High School, near where I lived. I was thrilled and Stan autographed a brown paper bag that I had as my only piece of paper. As an academic, I've lived all over the USA and always recounted to my colleagues Stan's goofy humor and funny songs. I hope to have been a worthy ambassador. RIP Stan and entertain the folks in Valhalla.

Stan Boreson and No Mo entertained me week after week with original songs, comedy and good old fashioned humor. I can still sing his songs and just seeing his face put a smile on my face. Because of No Mo I had two basset hounds as an adult. I even wrote to Stan and was given permission to use the name No Mo.
Stan, thank you for being part of my childhood. I will never forget you.

I am 73 and like so many others, my wife and I grew up with Stan and he continues to be a part of our life. One of the phrases we use every day ends with "time in the clubhouse." i.e. "it's walk the dog time in the clubhouse." "It is Husky football time in the clubhouse." In this curious way, we stay connected to a very special and precious person and a time of our life when we celebrated innocent, kind and gentle humor.
