Stanley spent most of his adult life in Calgary working for Byers Transportation, where he developed friendships and great memories that comforted him for the rest of his years. Special gratitude is extended to all who cared for and about Stan over his final years including the compassionate teams at Orchard Manor in Brooks, The Tom Baker Clinic, Brooks Community Health Centre and especially to all of the Social Workers at Alberta Health Services for their exceptional work on his behalf. The family also wishes to thank all of Stan’s many friends in the Strathmore area where he resided for a number of years. A public service will not be held. Memorial donations in Stan’s name may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
Dear Michael and Family I am so sorry to hear of Stan's passing. He was a good friend to Tim for many years and our family enjoyed his company many times over those years. I am sure Tim and Stan are enjoying a beer now and remembering their tow truck the "Happy Hooker" and all the cars that passed thru our yards. Will always remember the road trips and camp fires. Our condolences to Stan's family and friends. With loving memories Cindy, Erin and Jennifer Davidson.
