His final three positions were store manager in Denver, Colorado; Abilene, Texas and Dallas, Texas. Stan was a handyman around the house…an electrician, a builder, and worked on his cars. He fixed and repaired numerous small and large projects throughout his life. He enjoyed bike rides, trout fishing, walks, and watching numerous sporting events and performances of his grandchildren.
