Stan worked in construction of swimming pools for 27 years. He was with Paragon Industries in security for the past 13 years. However, he considered his most important job to be driving the golf cart at the golf tournament held annually for his niece Julia Brooke Osborn's scholarship fund that is given annually to a Sapulpa High School student. Stan loved being a Pa and bragging on his grandchildren. He spent hours gardening with Evan and teasing Libby. Stan enjoyed hunting, fishing, firing up his smoker and being with family and friends for a barbecue or fish fry.
