You're kidding.....right? After six pages you're just hearing what happened?
I thought you paid attention to all these threads.

maybe, as a "sign" of respect, one of the BA street signs which currently say S/N (sin nombre) could be renamed to "Stan"? |
I dont know, calle stan kind of sounds like an unfriendly mid east country!

Many smiles and deep feelings... am blessed to have been Stan's neighbor in Asuncion. A better neighbor than Stan never was had.
Will treasure our shared birthday party a couple years ago when we got our faces simultaneously planted in the cake!
Will treasure his memory always.
With you all in spirit this weekend, Shari and friends.

Not rude. They've been showing up here in San Diego. Retro from the 40's. It tastes the same.

Can of Tecate -
About 11 months ago Stan was out fishing in Bahia Asuncion (duh). He had already caught his limit of yellowtail and finished a can of Tecate. He tore
the can in half and threw it into the water. He watched it sink with glittering flashes of sunlight for a long time while curious sea lions zipped by
it in the depths of the clear water. He watched it until it finally faded away. Stan described this to me with a child-like enthusiasm the next day as
I was slowly packing up my motorcycle to head north. That was when he told me he was living in paradise. He was truly happy.

Stan's Memorial
For all that cared for Stan, his velorio last night was just wonderful. I had the honor of being there for a few hours. Mexican, American and
Canadian friends were there. There was a visual tribute of pictures of his life. His best friend and daughter came down, as did his sister and
various friends. The atmosphere was a combination of respect, silence, and memories and laughter. Shari and others couldn't have done a more loving
job to get this all together.

This first visit for me to Bahia Asuncion is a sad one. Saw family and friends gather at a very nice vigil here. Heard a few Stan stories, though I
did not know him.
We stayed for a bit, but, let the family/friends/community handle their grief, memories,...
Finally met Shari, after 6 years of posting on Nomad. Shari, family and friends worked very hard to organize the scene for Stan's memorial.
