A little over 60 years ago, a Stranger came into my life. It was Stanley Grady when he and my sister ” Betty “started dating. Stanley and Betty soon Married and he made our whole Family his Family too. Stanley was my Brother-In-Law but he far exceeded that role. Stanley was a True Giver and He gave His Time to Many and I was one of them. Stanley and Betty helped raise me long before their First Child “Stan Jr. was born. Over the years Stanley and I Fished together, camped together, rode motorcycles together and worked together many days. Stanley was a Great Man and one of the Smartest Men I have ever known. My Life was Much Better because God allowed Betty and Stanley to become One In Marriage. I miss Stanley and I will listen for his Whistling when I get to Heaven.
