In life, Stanford was the life of the party. He enjoyed listening to music, dancing, and bragging about his family. He was hardworking and always a believer in punctuality. He was a longtime employee of Ace Hardware and he was the unofficial store manager-Stan the Man. He loved to laugh and was a master storyteller. At the time of his passing, he resided with his favorite Auntie Ann who loved him and took care of him like her own son. His unconventional sense of humor will truly be missed.
