After leading what can only be described as a eventful and fun filled youth he settled down and married Jean Brimner Rose in 1972. Where many new adventures began.

He worked everything from changing tires, cattle herdsmen, driving a tractor trailer over the road (15yrs) office furniture manufacturing (receiving awards for creating new and better ways to improve manufacturing for the company), to fiberglass and finally retiring as a forklift driver in 2005 from Owens Corning .

I am so glad to be able to read this. Stanley was able to spread joy through a lot of lives as he and his family travelled the highways and byways sharing his love of life. He did all he could in this world, his body was tired. He is resting now and smiling down on those he loved, and those that loved him. Thank you for all joy you gave to others.
