Dear Mary Lou and Family: While not a shock was still so Very Sorry to hear of Stan’s passing. He lived a long and productive life and I will always consider him to be at the top of my list of former Union Pacific Co-Workers as well as being a long time very special friend. Stan will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved him….of which there are many. Losing our loved ones is never easy and you have our Deepest Sympathy during this difficult time. God Bless and May He Rest in Peace. Our Very Best & Love, Dell and Marlene Fischer
So sorry for your loss
My Dad (Don) and Stan were good Friends. I always enjoyed visiting with Stan anytime we got together. I’m sorry I missed this. At the time we were dealing with a loss of our own. My condolences.
