Stan will be missed by the Gideons. His life was a witness of the indwelling Holly Spirit working in the affairs of men. I will especially miss him to help with distributing the Bible to school children.

All of my thoughts are with Claudia and her family at this time. The Starrett Family... Stan, Claudia, Connie, Eddie, Mike and Patrick were part of my childhood growing up with wonderful memories of the neighborhood. I wish the family peace at this time with memories to keep for a truly wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with you

I am very sad to hear of Stan's passing and will cherish all the fond memories we had with him and his family the past 50 plus years. He was one of the most generous, kind souls one could ever know. God Bless Claudia and all the family.
