Just want to say how much we miss Stan. It has been awhile since his passing and not a week goes by that we don't mention his name and talk about him. He was such a special person and we miss him! Love and prayers, Joyce, Hilda and Art WeinzapfelKeith Govier

I was saddened to hear the news of Stan's passing. We had lost track of each other over the years. I think it has been 20 years since he stopped in and we visited on one of his trips back up to Iowa and Wisconsin. I met Stan in the early '70's when he would come to Wisconsin to work on the farm. We spent a lot of time together both at work and at play. It was a time in our lives where our future was before us and we would talk of our dreams and our wishes. One day while working on the farm we talked about leaving work at the end of the day and just driving to California. By the end of the day we were both so tired from farm work, we had no energy to go anywhere. Stan saved my life one day while working on the farm. I was riding the elevator up to the hay mow to start working when my foot got caught under the rung of the moving elevator. As I would grasp the sides to pull myself out the elevator would move and I could get no leverage to pull myself out. I waived at Dixie who was unloading hay onto the elevator to shut the tractor off, she just waved back. As I neared the end of the elevator where my legs would have been immediately mangled and broken and I would have dropped about 20' to the barn floor, I spotted Stan. He was taking the hay bales from the elevator and when he say my predicament he ran over and grabbed me and with one quick pull he pulled me out of the moving elevator, away from sure severe injury and possibly even death. The week before I was to go into the service I called Stan and asked if he wanted to do a road trip. Stan was always good for a road trip! We just traveled through Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa looking at the sites and enjoying each other's company. It was my last freedom before I entered the military and later marriage. It was just such a wander lust for that kind of fun, freedom and travel that I remember most about Stan. After I left for the service we seldom bumped into each other. I miss those days, and most of all I miss you Stan.Phil and Ann Robertson

We are heartsick. I forgot to tell you that we called Stan after we got his letter. I'm so glad we heard his voice and got to visit with him. He pretty much reiterated what he had in his letter. Our love and prayers are with each of you. I know this will be hard on his grandchildren, who can't possibly understand.Ralph Wilson

Our sympathy to all of you in his family. Both Doug and I were classmates of Stan in the class of 1970 from Tipton High School. I remember him having a sweet smile and a kind heart.
