Stan Morrow Memorial Service

2011-01-25T00:50:00.000-08:00

Today I learned that Stan had passed away. What a tragedy and how very difficult it is for me to share such a sad news here with you all.

Stan's Memorial Service is this Saturday (1/29) at 3pm at Creator Lutheran, 13250 SE Sunnyside Rd, Clackamas, OR 97015. You may contact Stan's brother Peter (971-219-3187) for more information.

The creative and playful Stan is in many pictures here. Feel free to use the comment section to post anything you like to share. If you have images of Stan to share, you may put those on Flickr and provide a link here for us to see.

Stan, rest in peace.
