My sincere condolences to the FAMILY of Stan Lefever. I worked with Stan at Holtwood (ppl) as a fellow electrician. He was not only a mentor but also a role model in life and treated all with the utmost respect! May you all find peace through God’s grace and love during this difficult time.

Dear Elaine and family. We were so sad to hear of Stan’s passing. Stan was an old, old friend from over 65 years ago in high school. He was one of our group, Clayton Bixler, Mel Hess, Don Hess and ? of high school “cool” guys who hung out and always ended the evening with a piece of pizza on So. Queen Street! I left Lancaster over 60 years ago but Stan and Elaine were always “must see” when I returned to visit. I shall miss my old friend, RIP and love Elaine.
