Stanley loved all things Scottish especially Loch Shiel located in the Highland Council area of Scotland. He was a big fan of western movies and enjoyed watching Shane, Lonesome Dove and Jeremiah Johnson to name a few. He was proud of his service in the Navy as a hull technician aboard the submarine tender USS Emory S Lands and his work as a mechanical engineer commissioning and decommissioning electrical generating plants. One of his most memorable and dangerous jobs was in Afghanistan where he commissioned an electrical generating plant while under fire from rebels in the surrounding area. His last work was decommissioning a plant on Lake Michigan in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. But most of all Stanley loved spending time with his children and other members of his family.
Stanley had many colleagues and friends throughout the world with whom he remained in contact. Although he often appeared a bit gruff, he had a kind and soft heart to all who knew and loved him.
