That's sad I always liked him. I seen his son at the ill fated black diamond 2012 and they only gave him 30 days back then ... He was 1 tough SOB !! Rip

You could always count on Stan and crew to give you good service at the track and at the shop.  And I remember him racing at our local track, Butler Speedway.  Thoughts and prayers to the family.

I remember Stan driving the Super on the old 1/4 at Sharon. Little did we know then, that he would become an Icon in the sport.I just can't think of another person-in the OH/PA region,who had a more significant impact than Stan.He was always there-for everybody. He gave ALS all it could handle and in the end he passed away on his terms. Stan was one damn good guy! RIP

Stan treated the Miley Family like gold. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Stan JR and Lisa and the Hoover family, fixtures at PPMS for many years. They helped make this whole deal fun, loved Stan, missed him a ton when he quit servicing PPMS. WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST RACE TIRES OFF STAN IN 1970! Time sure flys, enjoy it, support racing while you still can...the legends of my era are slipping away...ENJOY THEM WHILE YOU CAN!

RIP Stan
