Uncle Stan was such a Christlike man. He led by example. He was always serving others and making sure everyone around him was taken care of. When he was in the hospital he was talking to me and telling me how important it was to serve others. He said what really matters is how I treat those around me. Whenever he saw me he always asked how my job was going. He genuinely cared! He will be missed by all! Love you Uncle Stan
