As the #1 Sullivan Arrows fan, he could be found watching the weekend football and basketball games at the high school with his nephew, Jay Ferguson. Those who were blessed to know Stanley, knew that you could never have asked for a better Dad, Papaw, Uncle, or friend. He loved everyone, and everyone loved him!
