It took a few months to get used to my neighbor walking around the yard, shirtless, always tinkering, always friendly always wanting to share his batch of chili beans with us, but I wouldn’t trade him for anything. It was a pleasure to know him. He was a unique soul, loved his family fiercely and lived his life out loud. You will be missed
Stanley was a good friend and cheerful person. My thoughts and prayers go out to Stanley’s family. He will be missed.
My heart aches for all of you, he was always such a kindred and kind soul to me. I always just called him pops, and he always treated me like one of his own and opened his home to me more than once when I needed support or somewhere to stay. I will be keeping all his family in my prayers and thoughts.
