Wow!!! I'm totally in shock! I met Stan at Fort Campbell, KY. He was a very nice person and kind. Very physically active. be it swimming, playing tennis, running or basketball. It was a pleasure knowing him and he is definitely missed.
May God continue to cover his love ones.

I grew up with Stanford in Bluefield. My BD is March 6, 1957, one day after STanford's. I Live in Houston, TX and had not seen or heard of Stanford's whereabouts for many decades. May he rest in peace. Bluefield was a great place to grow up in. I have many rich memories of growing up in Bluefield. My sincere sympathy is extended to all family and friends.

Oh my goodness. I did not know until today. Stan was mostly friends with my Brother Charles, but we grew up in the same town (Bluefield, WV). He is having a happy birthday in heaven on this day. God bless his family -- you are in my prayers. Always with Love,

Thank you all so much for your support. I miss my daddy so much. But I know he's smiling down on all of us in hopes that he'll see us soon. (Not too soon). He was the best dad in the world to me. I'm just happy he's home now. Again thank you so so much for supporting my family through this hard, difficult time that we face. I'll pray for you guys- Jada Kearns

Stan, it was truly a blessing to know you, work out with you, talk about the Lord with you. Your friendship was something I cherished. I will miss you and look to see you in the great "By and By". I know Jesus welcomed you home by saying, "Well done thy good and faithful servant, sit down and rest from all your Labors. We Love You and Miss Mou.

Stan was a neighbor when we were young! I thought of Stan and others walking out the street telling jokes and full of laughter. There was a cherry tree by the old school and the boys would climb and get cherries. Great memories! I am sorry to hear of his passing. May the peace of God comfort the family.

My heart aches. We had reconnected on Facebook after 35 years since we left high school. Stanford was a sweet and funny guy and everyone loved to be in his presence. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with his family. I pray you will seek the comfort of God during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to Stan's family, from Stan's (Army Retired) Neighbor (5029). I am so lost for words right now, and my heart is broken to know that I was not there for him at the time of need, when he would normally just pickup the phone, or walk three (3) doors to my house to borrow some sugar, or even get a plate of food for the holidays, etc. Stan and I lived only three (3) houses away from each other until I moved to VA in 2010, to be with my now deceased little sister, but Stan and I still remained friends.
I arranged a 50th birthday party for Stan and a good friend of mine, who was celebrating her 50th birthday as well. Stan was really excited and very greatful for acknowledging his birthday.
My prayer is that GOD will continue to quickly heal the family's hearts, and especially Ms. Jada, who truly had her daddy's heart and attention at all times.
Stan will truly be in my heart and deeply missed. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance! From Stan's Neighbor and Friend, With Love Robin (Massenburg) Boldoe-5029 Hawk Meadow...
