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!

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.
