Stanley was my maternal grandfather who was beyond kind to me. I grew up with him in my formative years and he never, ever had a harsh tone or unkind word for me. He was incredibly popular and a rambunctious character. He passed when I was 12 which left nanna torn: it destroyed her. Grandpa was loved by everyone in the extreme and so sorely missed. My sons, your great grandsons, practically know you through all the stories I've told them of you grandpa. Although my eldest son is separated from you by 26 years, all your great grandsons revere you to the utmost. I hope I have made you proud through my boys, and only you and nanna know why. Every day you're remembered with great love and affection. I remember what you said, it still makes me smile.
