I met Stanley at Phoebe Health Center this spring when I was there for physical therapy. We had dinner together in a seperate dining room with others that were there for PT as well. He was a soft spoken pleasant man that didn't have much to say unless you initiated the conversation. I always enjoyed him.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
