Stan, also known as "Tag," attended school in Anderson, Missouri, graduating from Anderson High School. Following graduation, he proudly served in the United States Navy from 1960 until 1963 when he was honorably discharged. After returning home, he found his calling as an over-the-road truck driver, a career he dedicated 42 years to before retiring. In addition to his work on the road, Stan also served as a safety driving instructor, sharing his knowledge and experience with others.
He was a devoted husband, father, and friend. Stan enjoyed nature and spending time on his computer playing games, but most of all he loved his family and treasured the time he spent with them.
