Read MoreSo sad to learn of Stan passing away. I just learned of this at the Chicago O Scale Meet this past weekend. I had known Stanley for many years, running into him either at the Rockford O Scalers Club, or at the March Meet. Stan was always a joy to talk too, and his passion for the hobby never seemed to wane. Look down upon us and smile. I will miss you Stanley. May your signals always be green my friend!

My father was in the Civil Air Patrol with Mr. Guyer, and I often saw Mr. Guyer when the CAP had meetings. There were four gentlemen in the CAP who often visited our house, and Mr. Guyer was one of them. As a little girl, I always felt like a lady because he treated me with kindness and respect, even though I was only in elementary school.
My condolences to the family. He was a wonderful man.

Dear Ones,
We are deeply saddened by Stan's passing. He will be dearly missed. He was a great friend.

I especially enjoyed our years of comradeship all the way back to the 1980's. I will always remember his great memory and witty humor. I wish my current health allowed me to attend his...

A couple of us model railroading fellows happened to start talking about Stan this past Saturday (Feb. 11) and now (Feb. 14) I just found out Stanley has died. I first met Stan in 1963 at the Forest City Model Railroad Club on Railroad Avenue just off 7th Street. Stan was well-liked by us all, and I pretty much kept in touch with him until fairly recently. So sad, but I was privileged to know him and be his friend. --Mike Schafer, Lee, Illinois (born and raised in Rockford)
