Saskatchewan, then moved to Surrey, B.C. with his mother Isabel and 7 siblings, when
he was six years old. Stan worked for 18 years at Canadian Vinegar in Burnaby, B.C. as
an Assistant Shipper & Receiver until the plant shut down. After that, he found a new
career as an Ice Cream Driver for Dickie Dees and worked there for 15 years. Stan
found great joy when watching his son play baseball at the Whalley Ball Park. He was
dedicated to his son and would be present for all of his games and tournaments locally
and as far as Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

In his younger years, Stan was an avid bowler and belonged to a team. Stan really
enjoyed playing pool. Some people might even call him a pool shark. He also liked
playing cards, especially poker. His main interest was playing the ponies in Cloverdale.
