I am just now finding out that Stan passed away. My heart is heavy. I've known Stan for many years through Kennecott. Stan was always the most pleasant person (and friend) one could ask for. Heaven has gained an angel. His memory will forever live with those who know and love him.
Much love to Stan's family and friends, from all of us at Slyco Drivelines.

I just discovered this news tonight and I am so saddened by this. I was hoping to see him again soon along with the team I worked with briefly. Stan was a wonderful Supervisor, he truly cared for his employees and I viewed him as a father I wish I had had.. I will always remember his great sense of bold humor and warmth towards his colleagues.
Thank you, Stan, for all your help, your humor and your guidance. You were truly one of a kind and will be greatly missed.
Sending love to all of your family and friends,

We lost a great man way too early. I always remember hanging out at the Salazar's and feeling like just another one of the family. I could get there hours before Brandon and be welcomed in with a smile and great conversation. You always came feeling welcome and left feeling full. Love you Stan and Kathy. Stan will never be forgotten. God bless your family
