He enjoyed playing sports in high school and remained a sports enthusiast throughout his life. He graduated from Central Washington University and became a bank examiner and stockbroker. He became a Finance Manager for a department in the City of Everett and retired in 2002. Stanley followed the stock market in retirement and truly enjoyed talking about investments and market trends with friends sharing ideas whenever asked. He also enjoyed playing golf and travels to warm sunny places like Palm Springs and Maui. A recent trip to Washington D.C. with friend Bill Lopp and family was a special memory.

Stan was a great fan of Notre Dame football and a highlight was seeing a game in South Bend with his friend Pat Johnson. He looked forward to trips to Reno especially with friends for the first weekend of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. He followed horse racing and was a partner in owning several horses through the years.

Special memories include the family vacations during the summer at Lake Chelan. He looked forward to the Mitchell family Christmas gatherings and with his own family for Christmas Eve celebrations.
