Not being able to stay away from the Hill country long, Stanley moved to Bandera, TX and began working at D'Spain Water Well Service until he retired.

Stanley loved to hunt & fish, and was an excellent cook-his family often found themselves captured by one of his stories with their bellies so full they could barely move.

On Saturdays & Sundays, Stanley wouldn't be far from a football game. He loved the University of Texas-wearing his "Texas Grandpa" shirt with pride. Stanley also had a love/hate relationship with the Cowboys.
