My Aunt DeeAnn was touched by your responses to her notice that she posted here of the death of my Uncle Stan last year. She requested that I inform you of her passing in Salt Lake, which occurred in early June after a lengthy illness. She was a kind lady who added much to the quality of life of my Uncle. It is fitting that they were not separated for a long time, after his passing last fall.
I am a nephew on my mothers side, and after some financial reversals Uncle Stan invited us to live with them here in Utah, as Aunt Dee needed care, and Uncle Stan was still involved in many political and scientific activities. That was 14 years ago, and we have had a loving relationship with them and miss them terribly. Neither of them were comfortable with computers and they used this computer for the most part. I remember well Stan asking to use the computer to talk baseball on this board. He loved baseball, and knew more about the game and the players than anyone I have ever known. I think he knew more about everything, or so it seemed. He was quite brilliant as shown by one of papers we found in his files. His IQ was measured in 1959 at 164. Mine is much less, needless to say. Stan got enjoyment from the baseball community here, and our family's thanks go to those who talked with him, and who reached out to DeeAnn after his passing.

Rest in Peace DeeAnn. Like you said, its fitting that they were not separated for long. From my interactions with her on this board after Stan (utahyank) passed she was a super kind woman who very much loved her husband and family. It was very sweet of her to come here to inform us of her husband's passing and tell us more about his life. The board continues to miss utahyank. Like you said, his knowledge of baseball was unmatched. I have many a fond memory of reading his perspective on baseball or learning about baseball history through him. I am not surprised that his IQ was very high. He always came across as a very intelligent man. That he got enjoyment from our little community here brings me much happiness.
My sympathies to you for the loss of your aunt and uncle. It is very much appreciated that you came here and took the time to inform us of DeeAnn's passing and for sharing more of the lives of both Stan and DeeAnn. Much love to you from everyone on this board! May you cherish the memories of your wonderful aunt and uncle always!

Stan got enjoyment from the baseball community here, and our family's thanks go to those who talked with him, and who reached out to DeeAnn after his passing. It saddened me and excited me at the same time to see this account had posted. I was the poster that, along with my wife, Ruthie rerouted a trip we had planned by car about 1200 miles to get to meet Stan and DeeAnn for dinner one night. It was an honor and I would do it again and again. He was an imposing physical presence, and one could tell that he was still mentally sharp at age 88. It was then that I learned of the serious of Dee’s illness, when she could not attend dinner. I wonder if you would do us the favor of providing their last names and the name(s) of the funeral home(s) so that we might see the obituaries on-line? I tried in vain to look for that of utahyank at the time Dee informed us of his death, but not knowing his last name, I was never able to match up the facts I knew of him with the bios. I would appreciate it, as I found Stan to be an extremely interesting man. Thank you, and may God bless them as well as you. |

Apologies if this thread does not get as many replies as you would expect. Many posters are on covid hiatus until baseball starts again.
Here is a link to the thread DeeAnn posted in honor of Stan. Some nice remarks from more posters there:

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your aunt, her and Stan were two great people who are now reunited forever. Stan is certainly missed on this forum and we all loved talking baseball with him.
Thank you for thinking us and notifying us of her passing.
Take care!
