Very sorry to hear of Stans passing. We worked with Stan in RCMP and again with Alberta Safety Service. Unfortunately we did not hear of his passing until today OR we certainly would have attended his Service. El Msanderville and Glen and Leona Abrey

Eleanor & the Harbin Family,
We were saddened to hear of Stan's passing. Stan processed my file as an applicant for the RCMP in Winnipeg in 1952, gave me good advice and was again very helpful to Doreen & I on transfers to Edmonton in 1968 and 1974. He was a very kind and caring man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Stan was a very special friend to our family. As I worked with him for years he became 'one of the family'. Always loved us and helped us more than anyone would know.
We will miss him,
