Stan was employed as a plumber most of his career, working on many homes at Big Sky including the Yellowstone Club. Stan was regarded as a quiet and private man.

Stanley was preceded in death by his father Lloyd; his paternal grandparents Wilbur and Gertrude Irvine; his maternal grandparents Earl and Alice Wiseman; his nephew Scott Hanson and aunt and uncles.
