Stan spent his youth and most of his life in the Calgary area before moving

local firefighter and was most happy on his Burgman. Stan was always devoted
to his family and spent countless summer weekends camping, going for Sunday
drives and tinkering in the garage or shop. He was a kind, honest,
down-to-earth man willing to give second chances and the shirt off his back
to anyone who asked. A wise listener, he mentored troubled youth and always
had time to visit and share a cup of coffee. Stan was most definitely a
person who easily made friends wherever he went. All are saddened at the
