    Our friend, Mr Stan, as he was known by the children, was an institution in the neighborhood. He was most well known for being a kind man. His easy manner and helpful nature were well known to us all. Stan was quick to smile and quicker to joke. He served our country, our community, his family and our Lord.
    We’ll miss him like crazy.

    I just heard today of the loss of your father. Your grandmother Virginia and my dad Robert were brother and sister; for reasons I don’t know, they stopped interacting in 1954 when I was about 2. My mom always referred to Stan and Don as “The Boys” and I met them for the first time I remember around 1984 and had coffee with them a few times after. Your dad was wonderful; funny, engaging, and personable and I deeply regret not knowing him and his children better. I hope that your memories of life with your dad can give you some comfort and ease the pain of your loss. Sincerely, Bonnie Mott Ketchum
