Sad to read of Stan’s passing – one of life’s decent men. Condolences to Sharyn and all of the family

A wonderful Boss back in taste tempter in Morwell days . Deepest sympathy to Sharyn Tracey and families. . Rest easy now Stan and fly high with Margaret RIP 🌟🌟🌟✨✨Lauraine and George Charalambous *

A week ago, you grew your angel wings and joined your darling Maggie, who I know you missed every day, because you would tell me with a tear in your eye and a shake of your head. To soon you would say!

Your passing feels way to soon as well, when I walked into the unit for lunch last Thursday never in my wildest dreams did, I think it would be the last time we would speak. To find you unwell and rushing you off in an ambulance. A broken or dislocated hip I thought would be the worst but then realised you couldn’t talk except for to say more than once NO to the ambulance being called.

I was saying to Sharyn and Kath the other day as we were funeral planning, I thought Stan would live well into his 90’s, because it was like you were immortal, you had so many health issues thrown at you, and you just kept bouncing back. Unfortunately, not this time.

On Friday 26/9 at 6.08pm our world became less full as you had left us, it was with great sadness that we had to say goodbye and asked you to give Mum a big hug from us when you saw her. You would have been so excited I could just about see you singing in joy and running very fast like you were a young man again towards Mum.

In finishing my tribute, I would like to share some words I wrote in a poem back in January 2002. (I won’t share it all I will just share the part I wrote about Stan.)

The title was MY FOLKS.
Stepfather is a word associated with a mother’s partner,
I don’t know how others would depict them,
Some are bad, and some are not so bad at all.
My Stepfather is caring, supportive and true.
I admire you,
I trust you,
I’m glad you joined our family,
Most of all, I thank you for making my Mum so happy.

Now as I say goodbye I can add to the above poems words, I love you, you did so much for Nathan and I over the years that I thought I could never repay you, but the last 3.5 years have allowed me to show you in likeminded thoughtfulness how much you meant to us by being there for you while you navigated your last years without my beautiful mum and your darling Maggie. Rest in peace Stan, you will be missed terribly.

So sorry to hear that Stan has passed. Many happy memories of him and Marg at tennis, and progressive dinners. Fun times, a real gentleman. RIP Stan

Alan and I spent so many happy times over many years with Stan and Marg and then with Stan who never really recovered from Marg’s passing..
A very special friend. Thank you Stan and rest peacefully .
Much love to all of the family

Stan was a cheerful and loving husband to my sister Marg. I was honoured that he was my brother-in-law. Condolences to Sharyn and to Barb and family

I am so happy that I spent fathers day with you this year, it has made losing you easier to bare as I had spent recent time with you. Pop you always smiled and made light of everything . I was very lucky from my Mums side to have two amazing Pops / Grandpops who helped my Mum when she asked. I thank you Pop and I miss you as I know all of your other grandchildren, family and friends will be. We all loved you Pop. I am grateful I got to say goodbye in the hospital. Back with my amazing Nana. Rest In peace xx

What a great father in law, I was lucky to have 2 when I married Barb. I have many great memories of Barb and I taking you on day trips for lunch out and sight seeing all over the country side on weekends. Woodside, Trafalgar, Maffra, Moe, Sale, Walhalla, Warragul and so many more. I always supported the girls with helping you after losing Marg. I am saddened that you are in heaven, but from everything I hear that’s where you wanted to be with your amazing wife (my wife’s mum) May you rest in peace mate, thank you for our shared times and your jokes, Netflix pics, footy banter and just for being an awesome bloke.

Condolences to the family from x boolarra person
