Stanley was thoughtful, sensitive, strong in his faith, and he loved his family fiercely and in a devoted manner. He is the last surviving sibling of three brothers and a sister who all proceeded him in death. They were all loving and close and supportive of each other through their blessed and challenging walks on earth. Stanley is surely among the angels, with his Lord Jesus, and reunited with his son, Paul, parents and siblings in Heaven. He will be remembered fondly by me and my family. We miss you, Stanley.
