Wanda, Mona, Dave, Ben, Joe, Kelly, Carl and family - What an amazing life and tribute to a wonderful man! I learned much about Stanley that I never knew. My fond memories revolve mostly around visits to the farm to spend the night or hang out with Mona in our youth (a few plus years ago). I recall the fear that first gripped me when the Dobermans and St. Bernards came running out to “greet” us, and I have especially warm memories of time in your home, where Stan was often sitting in his...

Such a wonderful obituary. I learned several things I didn’t know. I’d add that Stanley could eat more eggs than anyone I’ve ever known. He was my #1 customer. I will miss giving him updates on my garden and meeting up at The Shamrock. RIP Stanley.

Martin Family,
What a beautiful, exciting life your father and husband led. While I met Stanly briefly on the side of I-57, exchanging items to transport from Springfield, I wished I spent more time with him after reading this. I can tell you his life will be eternal through his children. Mona has many of his great qualities like hard work and a friendly disposition. Please accept the Cullen family's sympathies as you trudge through these trying days. Also, know Wanda and your...

What a nice obituary. Stanley was quite a guy. I learned several things I didn’t know. I’d like to add that he could eat more eggs than anybody I know. He was my #1 customer. I’ll also miss giving him updates on my garden. My sympathies to Wanda, Joe, Kelly and Wanda.
