My recently deceased father, MAJ James Stilwell AUS RET served with Stanley Grannis in England, across France and the low countries as part of the 862nd. Mr father was my hero. Stanley was my hero. Without the epic achievements of this greatest generation we would not enjoy the liberties and life we now have. RIP Soldier. Essayons.

I knew Stan in l949 as i dated his wife's
brother in Freeport, Illinois. Married Royal Hunter in August 1950 and divorced
in 1963. Stan and Dorothy came to the farm where we lived with their children Patricia and Albert. Stan had a plot at the farm to grow new strains of green peas. Patty would come with me to the barn. They were a great family and would like to hear from her. So sorry to hear of Stans death. Great man.
