Stan loved the thrill of a hunt with his coonhounds that he raised and hunted, also deer and turkey hunting with all his special hunting buddies, just being in the outdoors, hearing a report of his friends’ coon-hunt from the night before. “Give me a report.” He was the owner and builder of Creative Construction Co. for 50 years. Stan was a loving father and grandfather, husband and a devoted Christian and a good friend to so many.
