Aah, Stan,
There is the man I fell in love with! Your charm, your ready smile, your gentle caring for others. the BEST square dance partner I ever had! I will never forget the magical night we met in Monterey. You and a friend went out of your way to make two "out of town" girls feel special.
Ours was a whirlwind long-distance romance and soon we knew we were meant for each other.
I know you love our son with all of your heart and you will still do all you can- through the very thin veil that seperates us- to influence him for good for a long time to come.
So many things are left unsaid, but I know that you now can now see what's in my heart.
You are greatly missed!

Ok wow this took me a long time befor i could write this, I think doing this makes what happend real and i could not deal with that yet. My dad was the best dad anyone could ask for, he always knew my grades and what days i would not go to class even though he was two states away. Some times that didn't make me happy but i thank him for it now. The past two years when i was living in utah we talked every night and that was my best memory of him, we would talk for hours and plan the new house we would be making. Dad i miss you so much and always will love you with all my heart but im glad your not hurting anymore, I will not stop tell i finnish all the dreams you had! I hope that when your looking down i make you proud of the things i will become and what i do. And dont worry someday soon you will have your own grandkids, maybe now you can pick me out the best ones! And to my how family i love you and thank you so much for being there for me!

I well never forget Stan Whiting, he gave me a place to stay when i needed it the most and thats where i changed my life. He told me when it was time to go because i was ready and since then my life has continually became better and i thank him for the experience of looking though my past. And this has been my future for the past 6 years and every day i would come by and tell him about my new found future and how good it was going. He always had a smile on his face and reencouraging words to lift me on my way and help my day. He always knew the answer to every thing. Thats what i miss the most! And his smile

Stan, I have such great memories of us as children playing together with your brothers and sister. It seemed like we could play forever. It's unfortunate that we grow up, lose our sense of childhood, and lose contact with those we love. I'm glad I got to see you one last time Cus.

As his aunt, I knew Stanley more during his childhood. Stan was born early December facing the cold winter months. His dad was very protective of him, hovering near him constantly, discouraging us from getting to close to him in case we may have the virus. He was very proud of his baby son with soft brown button-like eyes. I remember the week Stanley spent with my four children and me. I think he was about 9 years old, between the ages of his cousins Brady and Rosanne. I never received so much help and consideration (I’m in the wheelchair from polio) from a child. Stanley almost anticipated my moves. His four cousins, used to me and never thought of me needing help, thought he was crazy. I appreciated his help and thoughtfulness although there were times I felt like I saying, “Thank you, Stanley, I can do it myself!” When I think of Stanley, I think of his quick cheerful smile, his eagerness to offer me a push to wherever I wanted to go and his sharing the latest of what’s going on in his life. During our phone conversation last spring, he shared with me his dream of he and his son possibly moving to Las Vegas. Through the best and worse of times, Stanley had his dreams.
