A clergyman and member of Princeton’s half-century all-time track team, Stan died June 19, 2013, of complications from cancer.
At Princeton, his slight frame (105 pounds) belied his two-year captaincy of the cross-country team, and outstanding performances in the two-mile. His love of running later found an outlet at the Penn Relays, where he was a finish-line judge for almost 50 years, the last 10 as chief judge.
Stan was a Hall of Fame runner at Haverford (Pa.) High School. At Princeton he was a chapel deacon and a member of Quadrangle Club and the Student Christian Association. He graduated with honors in religion.
He earned a master’s degree from the Philadelphia Divinity School in 1954. He was a curate in Chestnut Hill, Pa., and an Episcopal chaplain at Vanderbilt before moving to Penn in 1961, where he was University chaplain for 34 years. He served on the board of the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf from 1963 to 1996, and was the summer minister of the Siasconset Union Chapel in Nantucket for 42 years.
Stan enjoyed travel, stamp collecting, crossword puzzles, and needlepoint, which he found calming.
We mourn Stan’s loss with Sally, his wife of 60 years; daughters Laura ’77, Lexanne, and Amy; son Peter; and six grandchildren.
