Stanley was a good friend from the '60s. I worked at IHC when he did. Also I think his dad was a foreman in the foundry. Stan was a car guy and always drove something nice. I remember a '57 black Chevy convertible he had. I sold him a 1946 Mercury, minus the engine. I forget what he put in it for an engine. Probably a chevy. He enjoyed cleaning out storage lockers. He really looked forward to moving back to Kentucky. Great man and good friend. An easy going fellow....... Rest in peace my friend.

Oh Linda! My heart goes out to you. Joanne shared the news.
I will always be grateful to you. You are a Professional all the way through.
Your abilities kept A7S running with such amazing competency.
You could transcribe orders with highly detailed chemotherapy and technical follow up labs,
all while you answered every phone call, every light, and every kind communication to everyone
as you tracked us down.
With Great Respect and Love,
