Early friend, apparently when your family first moved to Harrisburg. Nothing but prayers and love bother.
So very sorry for your loss. My sincere deepest condolences. I remember well 'Stan the man' he was ALways walking everywhere. Stan would always speak to me & my siblings, Stan would stop at times & talk with us. You could always see Stan the man on 18th St. Again so sorry for your loss.
Stan the man was a kind man and a loving soul. I had the pleasure of meeting Stan through my Husband, Jeff Woodyard. Jeff loved his brother with all of his heart. I will always remember Stan as a kind man who loved his Family and friends with all of his being. He was funny, witty and the ladies loved him! Rest easy, Dear Stan. May God Bless You, your Brother, Jeff and all of your family forever. Love, Robin L. Leibold-Woodyard
