Stan loved traveling and has visited most states, Europe, and the Caribbean. He loved to grill, and barbeque and could always be found searching for ways to perfect the results. His love of professional football was a lifelong passion as he held Sunday game day parties for friends and family, attended and tailgated at the Buccaneer’s home games and in Washington for the Commanders. He attended his last game on October 9 and watched the Commanders and the Titans.

Stan had a long and distinguished career in the engineering consulting business. It began after his graduation from High Point High School 1975 when he attended the Maryland Drafting Institute to prepare him for the beginning of his 40+-year career.

Over the years he worked for several firms including: EDG, Inc., Joseph Loring and Associates, Allen & Shariff Corporation and finally EDG2, Inc.

Stan was looking forward to retirement in a few years and planned to get a motorhome to travel the parts of the U.S. that he had not yet visited, and while at home enjoy life with his children and grandkids in the condo on the Chesapeake Bay with its beautiful sunsets.
