Notes |
- Stan graduated from Brodhead High School in 1952, and was a U.S. Army Veteran, serving in Korea. He had owned and operated the family farm in Decatur Township, retiring to a farm near the Sugar River in Spring Grove Township. He raised and released quail to replenish the native bird population and worked to restore depleted flood plain with wild grasses and plants. He enjoyed observing eagles and other wild birds. Stan was a member of the VFW Post 6858 and the American Legion Post 197, both of Brodhead. He enjoyed trap shooting, bowling, and being a part of the Monroe Theater cast of "Odd Couple." He cherished times with his children; snowmobiling, bicycling, escorting daughters to old time dancing lessons and had bragging rights as a proud grandfather, attending their school programs and sporting events. He was a lifelong Harley motorcycle rider and was one of the 12 original organizers of the 'Four Lakes Hog Club," Madison, WI. He toured the Western U.S. Canadian Rockies, Sturgis rallies with the club and other fellow riders. His friends at the "Table of Knowledge" and Wednesday morning breakfasts were the highlight of his week.
Stanley is survived by his wife of 55 years, Judy; his children: Kirk (Brenda) Douglas of Brodhead, Lisa (Kelly) McDermott of Waunakee, WI, Lynette (Victor) Haman of Elkhorn, WI; six grandchildren: Rio and Arris Haman, Megan, Ethan and Taylor Douglas, and Bear McDermott. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Walter Roy Douglas.
