Dear Papa,
I love you very much!

Happy 80th birthday!

You have always been there for me to come to whenever
I have needed your love or direction. You have always
worked hard to take care of your family and to provide a
wonderful home for us. I would have to say though,
that the most wonderful thing that you ever did for me
was to introduce me to Jesus through your example
and by taking me to church.
One of my favorite memories is that you read stories
to me out of my Jesus book before I went to sleep.
I also remember the time I called you at your office and
told you that I was thinking about becoming a smoker.
That was an unusual call hey?
Papa I love you very much and
hope that you have a wonderful birthday!
Love, Rita






I am very proud of my dad. He taugh us a good work ethic.
He showed us that the only way to succeed, is through hard work
and never giving up on your dreams.
But most important of all,
he (by example) showed us hard rock faith in the living God!!
That has done more for my life than anything else.
I love him very much, and yes, I am very proud of him.
Your son
Stan Jr.








Papa is our inspiration and the rock that we lean on.
We have learned patience and love for our fellow man from Papa,
and we get a kick out of watching him enjoy our children.
Everything from his love of the violin to his love of politics
to the way he treats his dog shows that this is a gentle, loving
man with a wonderful sense of humor.

We are truly blessed to be a part of the Papa and Erni family.

Dale, Christie, Buddy, Angela and Max Scott

Happy Birthday
~ PaPa ~
I wish you all the joy your heart can hold on this very special day. You came into my life and made me part of your family. You lifted me up when I thought the only way was down. I thank God that he caused our paths to cross. When we met, my days were dark and gloomy and my heart was full of pain. You brought back the "Light." This page is my gift to you. I have cried while creating this page, tears of joy and tears of love, you will never know how very much you mean to me. I will love you for ever and always.
You have touched so many lives and made them better through
your belief in God and your love of your fellow man.
God put it in your heart but you put forth the effort.
Thank you!
Retia
