Forever to be remembered as our beloved Santa at church and the official lighter of the eternal flame, Stan will be missed not only for ALL the work he did, but for his constant smile, wonderful sense of humor and genuine affection for everyone, especially the kids! Our prayers and thoughts are with your family during this time of loss. Having suffered a tremendous loss this year myself, I know the devastating pain you are feeling over the loss of someone so special. Just know that you are not alone and that we all love and support you. Besides, just think, now God has someone to cut his back lot that does it with perfection!!

Dear Jill and Family,
Ken and I are so sad to hear Stanley did not win this last battle. He fought such a good and brave fight to stay here with you all just a little longer. He was one of the nicest people we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. His dedication to the TFA was above and beyond the call. He was always there with a smile for the all Terwilliger Family evens. He was always happy to do whatever he could do to help and he truly loved the Terwilliger house and helping greet people at the barns for Stone House Day. He shall always be remembered and sadly missed by us TFAers--until we meet again. God bless you and the family with wonderful memories of a wonderful man to carry you thru this most difficult time.
With Love, Ken and Robin O'Neil

Please know that all of us at Historic Huguenot Street are deeply sorrowed by this loss. Stan devoted so much to the Terwilliger Family Association in his many years as president and vice president. Many involved in HHS remember Stan as he enthusiastically acted as the docent for the barns in Locust Lawn for each of the eight “Stone House Days”.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Best, Mary Etta Schneider
President-elect, Historic Huguenot Street.
