Guess I'm a tad bit late but I want my memories of Alan to join the others.
He & I played clarinet, he MUCH better than I. Poor Mr. Pearce never gave up on me tho.
Alan & I hung together a good bit. We both had Journal routes. We also got into trouble a couple of times... so minor now but seemed big at the time.
May God bless him and his loved ones. RIP my friend.
Alan lived across the street from me in Coffeyville. Alan, Richard Clough and I spent endless hours in the neighborhood. We all had Cushman Eagles and would ride together to school in Jr. High. I talked to him a few years ago and we was supposed to get together for lunch. We didn't and I regret not making the time to come up there and see him. Listening to Del Rio radio late nights. It was a good time RIP my friend
So sorry to hear of his passing. We were neighbors and good friends growing up in Coffeyville, Kansas. Rest in peace.
I was a student of Mr. Stanley in HS from 2010-2012. I always was very happy to have a teacher like him that enjoyed what he taught and that rubbed off of me. During his teaching he would allow students to go over material we had learned and lead the class from the board which gave me a voice especially because I didn't talk too much. Between this and the experiments he led us through, I found that I loved both doing and teaching science. Mr. Stanley was a joy to be around and always had an interesting story to relate our lesson to real life. I am now working towards my PhD and just today published my first journal article. I wanted to reach out to him and thank him again, but this will have to serve as a thank you in his memory.
I will and am missing Alan today. Pitt State Gorillas 1st home football game of the year... We would be there! Alan loved the Gorillas as well as taking long bicycle rides around Pittsburg. He loved heading out to hear a good band, car races or even some good old Pittsburg Chicken. We had good times just sitting on my porch an watching the time go by. The attached photos show Alan on saxophone....these were taken in 2005. RIP Alan!

Alan was a part of my life as long as I can remember. It was always comforting to see him. After my parents passed away, Alan kept coming to see me, stay the night at my office, and we would go on late night bike rides on Alan's pre-planned routes through Pittsburg. I always looked forward to setting him up at our Pitt State tail gate parties. He will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear of Alan's passing. I will always cherish the memories of his stories and of our years teaching together at Bolivar High School. He helped so many students learn to love Chemistry over the years.
