Our love and prayers are with you now and always.
I’m currently at South Pole Station, Antarctic, but my thoughts and prayers are with Bahnsen family.
I have very happy memories of my time spent with the Bahnsen family in Brevard. Stanley was a fine person with a great sense of humor and an inspiration.
I was so surprised and so sorry to read about Stanley. I was so glad to see him in Sept at Dad’s funeral. Condolances to the entire family and especially to Andy.
