Stanford was a true gentleman. I really enjoyed knowing him and working with him first through Mainstreet Dover and then through the Downtown Dover Partnership. His presence will be missed. Sympathies to his family, especially Tim, a fine young man I also had the privilege of knowing when he lived and worked in Dover. God bless.
