Also in 1978, he married his wife of 42 loving years, Janice Farness. They were blessed with two children, a son, Jason in 1979 and a daughter, Cassandra in 1984.
Stan worked hard and played hard and loved his family. He had many talents. He liked designing and building things from wood and metal. He also liked to BBQ.
