Stan was born in Calgary, AB and raised in the Bulwark area; built a home in Castor, married Sheila in 1953, started a family in 1955 to 1965. He started off with a watch repair business that he built into 3 successful jewelry & giftware stores in Castor, Dawson Creek, BC and Fort St. John, BC. He was a highly respected member of the Castor Community active on many boards.

Stan was a pilot, a hunter, an entrepreneur with a vast wealth of knowledge. Music was a big part of his life and he enjoyed many recreational activities including golf, slo-pitch and watersports.
