  1. Safe in the arms of Jesus may you forever be. It was good to know you, Stan. I’m sorry you weren’t here with us longer. Bonnie, you’ve lost a good man but only temporarily. You’ll meet again one day, and that knowledge and hope will keep you going in the meantime.

  2. I worked with Stan for many years at BorgWarner. We made our fair share of trips to Dixon, Illinois together over the years. Interestingly, he and I shared the same birthday. We always worked well together and I enjoyed learning from and working with him. Rest In Peace.

  3. I was fortunate to meet Stan and Bonnie as a member of the “Knobbies”, such a caring and loving couple!, my heart and sincere condolences I wish to extend to Bonnie and the Family as well as the entire “Blue Ridge Knobbies”! Stan was a kind and gracious man, he will certainly be missed! PRAYERS and HUGS to ALL!!!! Trish & JAZZ

  4. Bonnie, I am so sorry to find the obituary of Stan as we were looking to see if we could get back in touch with you. You are in our prayers. We were talking about “adventures with Wade” and remembering those days together. We love you! The Neese Family
