I grew up with Stan living across the street from our family, the McQuinns, on Salem Road. He stood in the road playing baseball with us, using a pencil as a microphone and would "broadcast" our little kid games, play by play, and he was only 5 yrs old at the time. Of course, he continued this at every game we played. My brothers and I have alot of fun times and memories growing up living across the street from the David Family.

I enjoyed the times I had spent with Stan, unfortunately I never got the chance to beat him at trivia, there are very few people I'd seek the approval of, now there is one less.

I will miss him...
Condolences to his family and Nan.

I had the pleasure of knowing Stan for the last four years of his life. He was fun and charming and outrageous. I could never predict exactly what he was going to do. But underneath the banter and humor was a deeply kind soul. I'm going to miss him.

He was proudest of his son, Marty, but I think he was second most proud of his membership in the Illinois Basketball Coach's Association Hall of Fame. A sports fan to the core, Fairfield just won't be the same without Stan calling the plays.

It was a shock when I heard of Stan's passing. I hadn't seen Stan since high school and he missed the last reunion. Stan and I grew up together...he lived in Lincoln Acres and I lived on N. Lincoln. We had some great times together and he will be missed by all. I am sure that he is giving a play-by-play call on what we on doing here.........Please accept my deepest condolences......Mike

I knew Stanley as a child and we had a great time playing. As kids, we played and fought often never to the point of really hurting each other. I'll always remember the good times we had and it's a shame to hear of his passing. Thanks Lord for letting me be a part of his life.

I have had the privilege of knowing Stan for many years. He was an icon in Wayne County, having been the voice of the Mules since 1971. I feel lucky to have called this man a friend. He told the funniest stories and was a stalwart on our trivia team. I will miss the night driving to and from away games. We had some good times. RIP, Stan. My thoughts and prayers are with Marty and the entire David family in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
