I met Stan & Sharon as my neighbors not too long after i moved in about 1/2 mile from them 25 yrs ago. Stan came & plowed me one VERY BITTER cold winter day on his tractor, i so appreciated his kindness & he wouldn’t take any money for it either. If i ran into him at the landfill, he would talk to me, i thought he was such a nice man & i’m so sorry for the loss of such a kind soul. Sharon, i didn’t know you two well, but i knew you well enough to say i was very happy to have had you as my neighbors & was sad when you moved. I’m so sorry for your loss, & my heart is with you at this time. Nothing but time ever helps the pain; it only lessens it but we always have that empty hole in our heart for our loved ones. Thinking of you & keeping you in my thoughts & prayers for the loss of your dear Stan.
My heartfelt sympathy to the entire family. Stan’s daughter, Ronda Schyvinck, is one of my best friends. She loved her dad so much. Hoping all the wonderful memories will help the family through this sad time.
Condolences to Sharon and the entire family and extended family of Stanley – who we knew as “Dannie”. He will be as greatly missed as he was greatly loved and appreciated. He was a truely good man.
Sharon and family,
