To the Wohlbach Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Stan. I met him 7 years ago when I started as the secretary at Friedens where he and the other Upper Saucon Senior Citizens met. From day one, I considered him a friend. I will truly miss his smile, his stories, his sense of humor, and his Tuesday phone call to remind me that the group is coming and just to say hi. I will truly miss him. Thank you Stan for making every other Tuesday so bright for me!

Wohlbach Family, Sorry about your loss! I will miss seeing him every year at the Allentown Fair, I consider him a friend.

I was sorry to hear about Stanleys passing. Although I hadn't seen him in quite a few years I thought of him often. He was the kind of man that could leave an impression like that. My condolences to his family and close friends. Will truly be missed. Rest in peace Stanley.

Stanley, you will be missed. We were so happy we could spend some time with you at the reunion, and again enjoy your blessing and singing. Know you have touched many lives through the years...and we know that now you have no more pain and are at peace.
Nancy and Ken
