I am very thankful to Stan for the wonderful 20 years we had together. We enjoyed working and flying for the Civil Air Patrol and in private with the Sundowner all the way up to Montana. We had amazing times traveling around the world and last but not least enjoyed our weekly trips to Keewaydin with the Windstar Clan. For all this, I am eternally thankful.
Rest in piece - till we meet again.
Love Marianne

I was a partner with Stan in an airplane it the 90"s and flew with him and Mary Ann including the Bahamas. He was a great guy that was always easy going and friends to everyone. GOD BLESS on your trip to the West!!

Stan was one of the first persons I met (at CAP) when I retired 23 years ago. Did many things together; on ground, air and water. My best times were those spent with him. He is the finest man I ever met. I don't think he ever met a person he didn't like...and who didn't like him. He was kindness personified! My prayers will accompany him on his flight to heaven.
