Stan was born November 3, 1930 in Cavalier, ND to Alfred and Elizabeth (Laurie). His mother passed away when he was 4. Stan was the youngest of 7 children- growing up on a farm outside Cavalier. After graduation from Cavalier High School he served in the army as a photographer. He then graduated from North Dakota State University. He married his wife, Arlene (Gorum), in August 1955. They raised 7 children; having the notoriety of having 2 sets of twins born within 10 months of each other. Then adding 3 more sons to the family each 2 years apart.
He spent his career in the Life Insurance industry- starting with sales and progressing to management and to an executive position with several different insurance companies. His jobs took his family from North Dakota to Minnesota to Ohio to Kansas and finally to Geneva, IL. He retired in 1995 but "consulted" up until a couple years ago. Due to health issues Stan and Arlene moved to an assisted living facility in Carmel, IN in May 2015.
He was preceded in death by his brothers; Harold, Roy, Percy, Ray, Clayton, and sister: Kelly (Dunn) and step-brother Jim, as well as 5 nephews.
Stan is survived by his wife, Arlene. He passed away just a few days short of their 60th wedding anniversary. He is survived by all 7 children; Kevin (Suzie), Kerry, Kendall (Dee), Kay Webb (Bill), Brad (Mary), Brian (Malia), and Blair (Audrey). Also surviving are 22 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren; 4 nephews, 6 nieces, and numerous great nephews and nieces.
Stan and Arlene believed in creating strong family ties. They always made the extra effort to attend all family events regardless of how far away they lived. This was instilled on his immediate family by gathering the family every 2 years so that the grandchildren would know each other- this tradition continues today and will go on in his memory. He will always be remembered for being there when family needed him.
