Sincere sympathy and condolences to the Hickling family. Stan took pictures of our wedding in 1951 such a wonderful caring person.
Remember when Stan was courting his beloved Margie in England--just lived round the corner from Margie and family. Will always remember his happy smiling face and his sincere kindness. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
