A terrible loss to all of those that knew him. He had such a caring side that he gave to those in his life. He made me laugh and fussed those days in the church office I hadn't gotten his guest cards made for Sunday. Constantly shared with me how important it was for me to take care of my health. He & Carole helped and supported me in many ways. What a wonderful experience to have known Stan and to have been called his friend. He truly loved his family.
My love and prayers are with all of you......Micki Hudnall
