To Stan's family, I am so sorry for the passing of Stan. I visited with Stan in Florida a couple of years ago at my Mom's home. (Fannie Jorgensen wife of Stanley, LeRoy's brother). We had a good time catching up and recalling all the old stories. Please know that he will be missed and you all are in our thoughts. Iris & Fannie

Uncle Stan will always hold a special place in my heart. He really made me feel special during every visit to Greenville when I was a boy. He would always fire up the toy model car with the lawn mower engine and let me drive around the farm or take me with him on the old fire engine in the Danish Festival Parades. I will miss you Uncle Stan.

Our deepest sympathies to the family and many friends of Stan. I feel blessed that I had a chance to visit with him the day before he left us. I will forever cherish that time but wish I had known it would be the last... Carl & I have to be out of town this weekend so we'll miss the visitation and service but we wanted to share our sympathies and to let you all know that you're in our hearts and prayers.

It feels so stange knowing that Uncle Stan isn't having coffee with "the boys" in Greenville anymore. He was such a sweetie, and always a quiet gentleman with a twinkle in his eye. We miss him already.

Stan is gone but will always be remembered for his love of life, community and especially family. We are deeply saddened but are grateful God took him without any fanfare and he now rests in heaven with so many of his loved ones.

Grandpa, Words cannot describe how much we will miss you. So many of my favorite memories, as both a child and an adult, include you. I'll never forget squirming away from your whisker rubs as you called me "Snooks" or our countless camping trips all over Michigan. It's comforting to know that you're in Heaven with Grandma, and with my beloved mom. I'm sure you're all having a blissful reunion with hugs, laughs and kisses. Maybe even some whisker rubs. :) Life will never be the same without you in it, Grandpa. I love you very much, Amy

Steve and Linda, My deepest sympathy in the loss of your father. I have known Stan for several years. He worked for Jeff Branch (Dodge Dealer) for a short time selling cars. Also, I am also a member at Turk Lake. Stan would come to our "Speed Limit 55" monthly gatherings-for a time of good food and fellowship. Just last Summer, he arranged for our group to tour the Museum. He was so proud and explained each room that he showed us. He was well loved in our Church and we will deeply miss him. In Sympathy, Betty Hilton
