To Dot and your family.
I am very sorry to hear about Stan. We had some great times and lots of laughs while you lived out here in Thornbury. "Steptoe" or "Stanley B" will never be forgotten. Great memories to look back on. Thinking of you all.

Two things come to mind about Stan. On one of the rare (only?) trips the Bullings made up to Auckland in the 80s, I recall Stan having a bit of a lie down underneath the slide at our house after a couple of ales, and someone daring me to pour water on him. Obviously I obliged and he woke with a roar. He wasn't ever going to catch me but he definitely tried.
The other thing that springs to mind is how I was never sure whether Stan was joking, having a laugh, taking the mick or being serious. Invariably it was one of the first three. I can't ever recall him being serious actually. That's my abiding memory of Stan, a jovial, happy, down to earth bloke with a passion for tractors.
Rest In Peace Stan.

I have many great memories of Stan, like; he and dad asleep after Sunday lunches, getting lost in the junk at the old Thornbury Enterprise site, and his trying to marry me off to a rich cockey. My favourite though is when he introduced a four year old city boy who loved his LaLa to a live lamb, then took him to play on some tractors. WishI could be there to say goodbye in person. Hugs and love. Viv, Jim and Sam.

To Dot and family,

We are so very sorry for your loss and thinking of you. I know my mum Jan loved spending time with her cousin Stan and his lovely wife Dot. My Dad was also lucky to work for you both before he retired and really enjoyed the catch ups you had afterwards. Love to you all.

Regards Jan Stewart, Kate and Mike deGeest.

Very sorry to read about Stan's passing. I didn't know him well but I knew more about him than most of Mum's cousins. He always seemed to be the one with the most energy and enthusiasm and as everyone at the funeral attested, he was a character. My sympathies to you all, especially Dot, Gillian an Phillip whom I know, at least a little.
I watched the Livestream of the funeral service - a nice service it was too but a hell of a day weather wise. Hope you got a break in the showers at the Cemetery.
Dallas Bradley, Otatara
Sending all our love, thoughts and prayers to you Aunty Dot and your children. I'm sorry I could not be there today but four of us gathered at the Jacksons and watched Uncle Stan's funeral livestream. It was a really lovely service for him. I enjoyed hearing the great stories of his life as well as prayers and Thanksgiving. I will never forget his checky grin and the way he always took an interest in what we were doing. I hope we can come down and visit you sometime in the holidays Dot. Blessings Simon, Miriam, Levi and Hannah xoxo
