Stanley farmed for many years in the Foxford-Smeaton area. Retirement brought more time for daily visits and coffee with his many friends. He loved to tell stories, sometimes embellished. Always that sparkle in his eyes and a smile on his face.

He loved animals most especially cats. Over the years, cats were a comfort to him. He loved hunting, ice fishing, mushroom and berry picking. He took pride in tending to a beautiful yard site.

Heartfelt thanks to all family and friends for the generous support given to Stanley, with your visits, when he was in palliative care at home for 18 months.
