Stan was a wonderful person, a bit honnary but in such a fun way. He has been the love of Jaymes life forever. It shows in family pictures what a great family man he was. The joy shows in his face, when he is with the grandkids. This man will be missed by those who were lucky enough to know him. Our love to Jayme and her family
We new Stan for a short time, he was a good man to us & our family….. our prayers are for your family, he knew Christ he is okay now. We would like to come to the celebration of life but we live in Florida.
Such great memories of Stan during our season of doing life together with his family in OKC. Always encouraging, always positive, a great example to me of Christian character and faith.
To Drew and family. We are very sorry for your loss.
Drew and all of the family,
I’m so sorry to hear the news of your Father. Stan was always so kind to my family and he will forever be missed. Our Cleveland Bailey childhood crew was wonderful because all of our parents were completely present and involved. Takes a village and blessed that your Dad was a small part of mine.
Respectfully,
Beth McCarthy-Kirk
I am so very sorry for your loss. I really do not have the words to say what is in my heart. Stan was a wonderful man, and I can say I am blessed to have known him and to have called him my friend. Everyone that knew Stan was welcomed with his smile, his wit and welcoming demeanor. He will be missed in this world.
I do pray your family finds comfort in your memories, and in the love of God who is present with you throughout this time of mourning.
Sincerely,
Carol
