My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will miss taking care of Stan. He always made me smile.God bless you and all of your family.

I will always remember Stanley. I grew very fond of him while taking care of him at Borgess Nursing Home. He was such a wonderful kind man. My heart is with all of his family. I know he was much loved and will be missed so much.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

For Stanley. "Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord".
