I had the pleasure of working with Stan as a Weights and Measures inspector in the 1980’s. He taught a new, city born and raised recruit about the practicalities of scale inspection in the country, including to always kick the door before checking under the grain receiving scale (to scare the rats away) and the fantastic view from the top of a grain elevator. I have fond memories of our working together; of his knowledge and patience, the O Henry Bar tucked into his shirt pocket and his love for cribbage. My deepest sympathies to you for your loss. - Posted by: Coleen Burningham (Acquaintance) on: Mar 04, 2009
