When he retired, he lived in Albuquerque for several years to pursue his love of nature and hiking, and he volunteered for the Sierra Club working on prairie restorations in New Mexico.

Stan was a kind and generous soul, always willing to lend a hand to the family with a smile. Stan was able to live a long, active, and independent life into his 90’s. He loved hiking and going to the library. He will be missed by everyone he touched.
