I am an RN and worked on RICU old ward one and finally the ER
As a VA police officer Stanley made rounds in these areas. He was always smiling. Took time to stop and talk to the patients and employees. He helped diffuse several patients that acted out in the ER. We always felt safer when he was working I Found out that his Willocks cousins lived 4 houses down on the little road I lived on in Maryville and we rode the same school bus. Prayers of peace and comfort lifted for his family
