He contacted my mom several years before her death in 2000. He believed that he was her half-brother due to some letters he found of his father's who talked about his relationship with my grandmother. My mother was only too happy to have found another relative and that the man she thought had been her father was, in fact, not. Stan sent me the research he'd done on his family tree and I know I still have it here somewhere. I used to send messages and emails to him, but when I started working offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, I lost track and lost his address during the move. It'd been so long since I'd heard from him, I assumed that he'd passed. I'm glad he lived a nice, long, eventful and fulfilling life. I just started working on my own family tree and wanted to add his father as my maternal grandfather but haven't found the research he sent me yet. Buried in boxes, no doubt. I'm sorry for everyone's loss, I know my mom really loved talking to him until her passing and worried about how he was getting along as she was a couple of years older than him and looked more like him than she did to anyone else in her family.

Stan befriended my Mom, Lily when they were at Huntington together. He moved away but remembered Mom's birthday and came back to leave a Birthday card for her. I read his kind words to her while she lay in bed a few days before she passed. I know they are friends again in Heaven. Mom's birthday is just a few days after Stan's,
Sept 14th and Sept 19th. Happy Birthday!

RIP Stan. I brought Stan to his last apartment. I was his leasing agent and visited him sometimes. I wasn't at work last couple months when he passed. He told me the first month living there he had already made good friends. I was happy to of helped him.

I still remember Mr. B and friends having coffee and cake after school at my house. (My mom had spent the afternoon baking.) It doesn't seem so long ago.

"What we have done for ourselves alone, dies with us. What we have done for others and the world, remains and is immortal."

"Here's to future meetings, and happy greetings then.

Here's to those we drank with and never can again.

To live in hearts we leave behind is surely not to die.

So, here's to Mr. B!!!

A fond farewell, but not goodbye."

Old Scottish toast.......

Stan enjoyed visiting the Flight Path Museum at LAX, an historian at heart and a true friend of aviation and the museum staff.

Cheers for Stan!

An avid genealogist is very much a historian, first. Pensively lodging in places, times and people of long ago to present times. Many have journeyed with Stan on these adventures because of the oneness of appreciation. May you long enjoy those memories . Luke 1:1,3; Ps. 62:11,12.
