Very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He was a very good man and enjoyable to be around. Visited him a few times at the house and a couple of times at the Treherne Hospital location. Pat and I both enjoyed these brief visits. Stan was very proud of his children. He will be missed. - Posted by: Jack Robson (second cousin) on: Jun 01, 2012
