Joy and I express our deepest condolences to the family and friends. Stan was a true gentleman. I worked with Stan for a lot of years and no matter what I needed he would always smile and tell me it would be taken care of. Set up, tear down, maintenance were always delivered on time as promised. I appreciated how quick he was with a smile and a pat on the back. He loved the students he worked with. He was a dedicated coach and was loved and respected by his wrestlers and the students at JHS. Jamestown has lost a really good soul. I will miss him and know he will have an honored place in heaven. Rest in peace.
Thank you.
