Stan will be missed by so many people. He was a dear friend and the best partner to have standing by you when we were out there saving lives. He had the greatest smile that would light up an entire room and I know that smile is still there lighting up the Heaven that he is in. God bless this family and hold those children in your arms as they go through this time in their lives. I love you Stan and you will be missed dearly.

Stan was one of the finest paramedics we've ever had at Baptist. He will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. Stan set the standard as to what a paramedic should be like. He is now among the angels watching down on his beloved family. I'm proud to call him a friend.

If Stan could speak to us today we think this is for sure what he would say:
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me, please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place for me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne,
he said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last and since
each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

Stan will forever be in our hearts and you, his family, in our prayers.
