  • Introduction

    Stan was a very hard worker , had physical scars from WWII & Korean War. He adopted myself and my brother in 1964. Was a disciplinary man but what I remember best is his humor! Being English, his humor could seem dry at times but he used humor a lot. When I’d have a sore and cry - he’d reply “I didn’t feel a thing”. I’d quickly forget the pain & just 😆 I feel respect for very few people in my life but Stan was the first of those few.
