Dear Abbott family,

Stan was a very nice guy and I always enjoyed visiting with him, usually at Bass Lake.
While I didn't know him as long as my in-laws have I do call many of his family friends.

If you can judge a person by the family they leave behind, Stan Abbott was a great man.

Peace to the Abbott family.

Hope you can find solace in knowing his was a life well lived - he put his family first, always and was a kind, good soul and a funny, happy man - and a great dad! Hugs and prayers to all of you at this difficult time.
Love to all,
Jeanine Thiemel
