We fondly remember Stan as a kind and friendly backyard-neighbor when we lived in Wilshire Hills. You and your son, Dave, were an important part of our lives at that time. We were very surprised to read about Dave’s passing and saddened by the news of Stan. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Very sincerely,
Barbara and Bob Landis, Lititz
