Stan was born in Melville, SK. His family moved to Winnipeg when he was a youngster, where they lived on Broadway in an apartment with not only their family but also several members of his extended family. In order to escape the tight quarters Stan spent many days at the Cornish Library where he developed his love for reading and information. He attended Mulvey and Gordon Bell High School. Stan spent four years at University of Manitoba where he sharpened his bridge skills before he discovered the Faculty of Chartered Accountancy and graduated in l957. He spent many years with his mentor and friend, David Korn at Korn, Thow & Co. This was a rewarding and fulfilling time in his life. After his C.A. career he had other interests in business and never really retired until his late 70s. Stan was always a very caring and loving husband, father and grandfather. He followed his family's interests with great passion and love. He was the most loyal and devoted friend as his dear friend Sam Schwartz eulogized him: "His gift to anyone who had contact with him was that he made people feel good about themselves. His love for all people was sincere and genuine. He was fully engaged - in life, with all those around him. He was friendly, warm and smart - and we loved him for it. It was an honour to have been one of his close friends." Stan had many strong opinions on any subject and did not shy away from voicing them, but those who knew him well loved him for that and admired his wisdom. He was most committed to Israel. Stan was definitely his own man and did things his own way. We will mourn him and miss him deeply. Funeral services were held at Temple Shalom on March 3, 2016 officiated by Cantor Len Udow.
