| Stan
was once described by a friend as "tyrannical, enormously loving, utterly
honest, terribly impatient, and very generous."
That describes this wonderful
man to a tee, and he is deeply missed by his friends, many of whom still
feel his presence strongly from time to time admonishing them to ease up
on themselves. |

Stan moved to Santa Fé
after the death of his lover to try to find peace of mind and a life for
himself away from the painful memory of his partner’s death.
In Santa Fé, Stan
worked for New Vistas, a local non-profit human service agency serving
people with various disabilities. People at New Vistas loved and appreciated
Stan, and, as his health progressively worsened, the agency reduced his
hours and responsibilities so that Stan could continue working.

Stan also created
"The New Age Networking Journal", one of the first journals to focus on
New Age alternative services in Northern New Mexico. Stan was the president
and founder of Waldahl Productions, which coordinated New Age events and
flyer distribution.
The cheery message on Stan’s
answering machine for his business always admonished callers to: "Have
whatever kind of day you want". Perhaps more than any other wonderful thing
that there was about Stan, we miss hearing that message! |
