I was sad to learn of Stan’s passing. Though I last saw him many years ago, I still remember his infectious grin, his terrific sense of humor and his enthusiasm for life. I would like to send my condolences to Joan, Becky, Deborah, Jennifer, and their families. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

The Farmers First/Susquehanna Bancshares ladies from the Friday Lunch Bunch were saddened by the news of Stan’s death.  We offer condolences to the family. We have been exchanging memories via email among ourselves and getting a good laugh, because Stan was always making us laugh at work. We missed him very much when he retired because he was also a helpful and supportive co-worker from whom we learned a lot.  Thank you, Stan, for the memories.

Joan: I am very sorry for your loss. My many years of commuting to Lititz and working with Stan is one of my best banking memories. We had lots of interesting conversations and he was extremely helpful when I transitioned to Farmers First. He was very capable in areas which were not my expertise and I learned much from him which made me a better banker. You are both fondly remembered by our family for our years of using your Avalon house. Praying for you and your family.
