Paula, you keep Stan's legacy, light, and kindness going in such a positive way.
Every time I think of kind people who have influenced others in such meaningful ways, Stan is at the top...as are you for continuing to share his 'spirit' with others.
Stan would be proud (is proud) how you've upheld his wishes.
Thank you!

Besides all the accomplishments, Stan was a love of a man! He was forever gentle, kind and caring; his original sense of humor was my favorite characteristic of his. Condolences to you Paula. You were a helpmate in the true sense of the word.

Stan & I were classmates at Sutton High School, I'll always remember the competiveness in sports. I moved my senior year, lost touch with a lot of friends,but ran into Stan in Durango several years back when he was still involved at Durango High School. I know he will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Rabbe Family.

I had the pleasure of taking care of Stan at a local restaurant on a regular basis. I always looked forward to him and Paula as company. To see their love and commitment to each other was truly a life lesson that I will never forget

Paula, so sorry for the loss of your mate. In our decades of association Stan, so often, would be what was needed for perspective. So many moments, and all good. Thanks to you both for my enrichment. Mike

The last time I saw Mr. Rabbe was at a mountain bike competition at Chapman Hill. It was a short but nice visit. He had been one of my favorite teachers at Miller. (Even though he taught math!)
He was always a nice person and inspirational role model. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I'm sorry his life was cut short.
