Happy belated birthday Stash - I'm sure you celebrated it in high style up in Heaven yesterday. We go a long way back - especially to our wedding day on 4/10/76. Our friendship and caring for each other lasted after we parted as husband and wife. You have touched so many lives and still do as we continue to think of you in loving ways. Good night sweet Stash and when we meet again, I long to hear Donald Duck greet me at the pearly gates.

The memories of my dearest Cousin will always be left in the hearts of many others who loved him as well.

My memories I would like to share to the family and friends are memories of love and laughter.

I remember when my father Cleo his uncle passed, he told me that "heaven was a beautiful place and that someday we would all be together". This helped me to get through the hard times!

I hope and pray for the family that these words help them to ease the pain and to always remember the good times.

Love and Best Wishes,

Cousin Betty Jean

Death stinks, and I feel its sting with the passing of such a wonderful and wonder filled man as Stanley Jerome Windy, the one and only STASH, my friend and fellow bowling buddy/mentor. He listened, he offered weighed advise, and gave of himself unconditionally. He was friend-devil's advocate-and friend again. Old school gentle giant. Warm and kind, loving and strong, easy going and friendly, my very special friend. He liked me no matter what. What a guy. What a friend. I miss him. I miss his laugh. His warm eyes and heart. Rest in peace, gentle soul. Until we meet again, sleep well. First Thessalonians 4:13-18
