Stanley was a faithful servant of the Lord. His generosity and love for family, God, and country ran strong in him. He put his two daughters and three grandchildren through school, three of which received master’s degrees. He loved all sports and could be found at a local game somewhere on most days. He was a member of the ASU Booster Club. Stanley delivered meals on wheels and gave to people in need without hesitation, going as far as taking on extra jobs in the military service in order to send more money home to help his mother and father.

He received his GED in 1959. Stanley worked at GTE for 30 years, 13 of which were at Goodfellow Air Force Base, where he received a letter of recognition from the U.S. Air Force for installing the first radio system.
