Owning his own business which serviced the geophysical industry, Stan retired in 1976. Elected twice as a Member of Parliament he worked tirelessly for the riding of Kootenay East - Revelstoke. He was appointed to the Nat'l Parole Board in l989. Stan will be remembered by all who knew him for his warmth, his humor, and the 'Black Velvet Band'. The family would like to thank his many loyal friends of the Rotary Club of White Rock for their love and support over the years. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Kidney Foundation of Canada B.C. Branch.
