So sorry.
So sorry about Stanley. I have fond memories growing up living across the road. He was a very nice person and always smiling anytime you saw him. Prayers for all of the family.
I meant Stanley through Welton. He was a grown man but he was a kid at heart. He would come to our house on Friday and Saturday nights to have dinner followed by playing Nintendo with my family until the wee hours in the morning. Many times daily just locked the door when he left cuz we had all gone to bed! 😊 I need decided to go back to school at ASU, he always open his home to us to stay during our mountain visits. He spent time with our family hiking and going to various touristy places. Wellton and I just called him one of our kids.
I know Stanley loved his family with just as many heartwarming memories as he’s left with me and mine.
Thank you Joneses for sharing your brother with us
My condolences to each of you. Prayers for comfort and peace
Love Tammy, Patrick and Kristen
I remember playing “chase” with Stan and others while in High School. RIP Stan

I am so sorry about Stanley. I spent many hours in Stanley’s home visiting and staying with his sister, Debbie. I have lost touch with Debbie and would love to talk to her. I am asking the family to please pass my email address to Debbie.
