When I think back on all the times that Stan was present at family occasions I can not remember a time that he did not have a smile on his face and a story to tell. I know that if my Dad and brothers were here they could fill a book with stories of Stan. We can all take comfort in knowing how many people Stan touched in his life. I have so many wonderful memories of going to visit at Aunt Nellie’s place. My sympathy goes to all of Stan’s family.
I will miss Stan a whole lot. He was a great friend to me. We shared a lot of fond memories.Sympathy to Sharry and her family. Louie

Our sympathy to Sharry and family. We’ve so many wonderful memories and not enough space to share them all. Stanley was a HUGE part of our growing familys’ years. Stan helped us weather alot of storms, both family wise and literally speaking. What a kind heart he had and he gave it freely to us. Our whole family will definately be at the funeral. Holidays just haven’t been the same without Stanley. Our hats come off in memory of our “Stan the Man”. We loved him.
It’s been many years since I’ve seen the family but I am the youngest daughter of Charlotte (Comstock) Moss. My condolences go out to the family. I know that Uncle Stan might not be with you in body but he will always be in your hearts. God bless you. My prayers are with you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sharry, Tony and family:
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I haven’t talked to you for many years, but know that I am thinking about you during this difficult time.
Sharry, I’m sorry to hear the loss of your father. You’re in my thoughts & prayers.
