After a long, healthy and full life Stan passed away peacefully on March 18, 2024 at the age of 97.
He was predeceased by his wife of 67 years Elizabeth(Bess) in 2014 and sons James(1953) and Warren(1988), Parents Percy and Harriet, brothers Percy and Leslie.
He is survived by his daughter Diane Mann(Larry), daughter Sharon Snowdon(Glenn)
Grandchildren Ashlee (Scott), Michael (Victoria), Amber (Dane), Dillon (Cassidy). Great grandchildren Evan, Cole, Brooke, Olivia, Nixon, Luna, Mavrik and Noelle. He is also survived by his sister-in-laws Donna and Evelyn Floren as well as many nieces and nephews.
Dad was a long time resident of East Kildonan where he provided his family a caring and loving home.
Dad enjoyed 39 years of retirement. Although he enjoyed travelling, his happy place was the years spent at the family cabin at Victoria Beach. He enjoyed the outdoors and everything nature had to offer.
We will remember all the celebrations together, your love for your family, friends and neighbours, your kind and selfless demeanor, your humor and compassion for others. We will also remember to enjoy and appreciate the simple things in life as they are the most important as you so taught us.
In respect of dad’s wishes there will be no formal funeral. A private family farewell will be held later in the spring.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

I am sorry for your loss Diane and Sharon. Stan (&Bess) were excellent neighbors. Enjoyed the many talks with him and the family over the fence. We wish you all the best during this time of loss and grieving.
with love Manny and Joanna
