I was shocked and saddened to hear of Stan´s passing. I had just spoken to him and his brother Steve a couple of weeks ago. Stan was my neighbor. He was a very gifted carpenter. I remember he made these amazing shutters that acted as regular/ decorative shutters for every day use, Hurricane shutters during storms and should there ever have been a zombie apocalypse or civil unrest these were the shutters you definitely wanted to have. They were amazing. I complimented Aaron on those shutters several times and I was finally able to tell Stan how much I admired them and what a great job he did crafting them. He and Aaron were good neighbors who will be missed. Steve, it was obvious you and Stan were close and you were looking out for him that day. My condolences to you and your family.

I loved my Uncle Stan so much! He will live on forever through our memories, family, and friends who cherish him fondly. May he reunite with Aaron, Aunt Sally, his father and my grandfather James Farrell!! I remember how loving and cuddly he was; he would rake his fingers through his daughter Jordy's scalp and mine and was so comforting !! Miss you dearly, Uncle!! Fly high with the angels in Heaven and rest in Jesus' arms, forever eternal and loved! <3

50+ years of memories to a wonderful guy. You were such a great guy full of joy and laughter. I'm glad you didn't suffer- you're home with your family. So glad to have had you as part of my life. You'll be greatly missed.....

Stan, you are loved and missed and will never be forgotten. Memories of the house at Heart Lake hanging out with you, Suzie and Ernie...riding around, skipping school and sun tanning on the roof. The many trips to Tampa, flights, cars and motorcycles. The time I tried to move to Florida and Maltese I bought at St Pete that they flew to Pa for me. The Spring Break from college at your house; my fiance, myself and 2 friends stayed with you for a week. Went to Disney and St Pete Beach. The time you took my friends and I to the sunset restaurant on the beach. The bar with mirrors and a floor that spins around... So many good times I will never forget. LOL, The time Stan fell off the bull that Ernie was too afraid to try...lol, in Eynon at the restaurant. Sorry, we did not have more time together.. See you in the next Realm. Your Cousin Carol
