I'm so sorry for your loss Anne! I glad you had Terry Hinze look me up on Friday to let me know about this. What a shock!! I didn't know he had been dealing with health issues. What a great friend he was to me!! I pray God will give you and your kids peace through this difficult time. Working with him for 20 years was a great privilege for me.

Cherish all the great memories. I was a co-worker at the CX. Great man and I will miss his humor. He always had a positive outlook!

Ann and Family,
Sam and I are saddened to hear of Stans passing. We both worked at the Corps of Engineers with him. Sams first job at the Corp was the secretary for Roscoe Cordell, Stans boss at the time. She commented how nice a guy he was. I dont know if you remember me but I was the tall first baseman on the softball team Stan was on. Sam was right, he truly was a nice guy. Remember the good times you shared together and they will help get you through this trying time. God Bless his soul and may he Rest In Peace.
Sincerely,
Jim and Sam
