Stan was born and raised in St Anthony. During WWII, he served in the minesweeper branch of the British Royal Navy and saw action in the Mediterranean before returning to England to patrol in the North Sea. It was in England that he met and married his Hilda and together, they returned to St Anthony in 1954, to raise their family. Stan was a family man who worked tirelessly, at times holding down three jobs to provide for his family. He remained interested and involved with his ever expanding family throughout his life. Stan was a student of the world; maintaining and sharing a knowledgeable opinion on both historical information and current events. He loved to debate politics with whoever was up to the challenge and his considerable fire never burned hotter than when the topic was Newfoundland joining Confederation. Well into his eighties, Stan's passion for life saw him engaged in such activities as frolicking on exotic beaches, paying his respects to the fallen in Europe, playing skipper while cruising the water ways of Nova Scotia and playing the role of farm hand in northern Alberta. Closer to home, some of Stan's most memorable times included ski-dooing in the White Hills, ice fishing, trouting, and berry picking. He enjoyed puttering in the garden, canoeing with his grandchildren and a rousing game of cards. Visitation took place at Barrett's Funeral Home, 73 Commonwealth Road, Mt. Pearl on Sunday, Jan. 10 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. and at Kerry M.
