He was survived by his loving wife, Glenda and his children; Jeremy (Brandy) Hartpence, Burlingame, KS; Michelle (Justin) Gee, Topeka, KS; Mindy (Jason) Easterbrook, Cove, TX; Ashley (Joe) Garrett, Meriden, KS and 10 grandchildren.  Gage, MaKenzie, Devin and Peyton Hartpence; Aiden Shaughnessy; Addison and Trace Gee; Ocean, Sky and Hunter Easterbrook.  One great-granddaughter Aubrey Shaughnessy and a grandpup Jarvis Garrett.  Brothers: Bill (Kathy) Senne, Ron (Renee) Senne, Jerry (Nancy) Senne.  Sisters in-law: Elaine (George) Williams, Janice (Mel) Heaps, Barbara Jo (Jim) Means.  He also has numerous nieces, nephews and close friends.

Stan served in the Army from February 1978 to February 1981 as a Radio Operator with time spent at Ft Hood, TX and Germany serving during the Cold War.  Stan worked in construction framing houses for many years until 1996 when he joined Swims & Sweeps as a pool and fireplace technician.  He continued working after his initial cancer treatments until he was physically unable to perform his duties.

Stan, affectionately known as "Stan Man" enjoyed grilling/smoking meats and everyone always wanted to know what he was grilling next.  His grand kids loved their "G-pa" and he enjoyed riling them all up and settling the squirrels down.  He enjoyed his time outside feeding the birds, gardening and listening to the KC Royals, KC Chiefs and KU Basketball on the radio.  He loved going to the beach with family and his favorite locations were South Padre Island, Cancun and Hawaii.  He also loved all the time he spent in Colorado with family.  Stan really enjoyed time with friends playing pool, fishing and nights by the bonfire.

Stan wasn't tech savvy and didn't appreciate group texts.  We'll miss his offering of "I'll buy, you fly" and those wonderful shoulder rubs.  He had a huge heart and gave the best hugs!

Memorial contributions can made to Westside Christian Church, 432 SW Lindenwood Ave, Topeka, KS 66606, where he was a member.  Due to COVID-19, services will be determined at a later date.
