For over 28 years, Stan was a dedicated employee for the Interlake School Division. He was an avid sports fan who enjoyed following hockey, curling and football. Although Stan watched all teams, his loyalty to the NY Rangers and Saskatchewan Rough Riders was clearly evident. Stan received great pleasures in creating a magical winter wonderland with his Christmas lights every year. It was a display that was thoroughly enjoyed by young and old! He always had a "never ending" smile on his face and a sparkle in his eye when he was with his family and friends. His cheery "Hello" that made everyone feel special will truly be missed by all!

Dad Who worked so hard and saved so long For what we have today, And anytime would sacrifice, His chance to rest or play. Who always saw his children have, The things he did without; And gave so much, unselfishly For thats what loves about. Who sought no honours, no rewards, For all that he had done; Except to raise a family, The very finest one. Though we cannot evaluate Our Dad, his love, his worth, To us hell always be "just Dad"; The greatest guy on earth. We love you. Rest in Peace. You will always be missed. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall in care of arrangements.
