Stan worked at Versatile Farm Equipment until his retirement in 1989. He derived great pleasure from his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed family gatherings and always had a story or joke to tell. You could always count on him for a good laugh. Stan built, created and repaired many things for many people. He was a storey teller, comedian, poet, musician, blacksmith and inventor, maker of windmills and things you never imagined. Stan was known to have a fix' for anything and everything. There wasn't anything he couldn't repair. Friends and neighbors from near and far would come to him for his custom craftsmanship and handiwork and for all the things no one else could do. He would always find the perfect part that was needed. He enjoyed helping in this way and used his time and talent to the benefit of us all. You could find Stan tinkering in the garage, reading, or doing puzzles. He enjoyed a good movie, an involved wrestling match, a lively polka and a beautiful waltz. His loved his music and was always willing to share it. Stan the candy man could always be counted on to offer you a sweet treat. He loved animals and took many trips to the zoo. Even in his last year of life he was able to make several trips to Assinbiboine Park enjoying the wonders of nature and the animal kingdom. His faith community was a big part of his life and he was always proud to be connected to his faith brothers and sisters. Sincere thanks to friends who visited Stan and always sent along good wishes.
