I never knew the man but if he rode sidecars he's good enough for me.

Godspeed.

Stan was laid to rest today at a small service held in Bridgetown WA. His beloved Ariel 500 outfit #52 was outside keeping watch over the proceedings as Stan requested. A number of fellow racers were in attendance including Bob Gilchrist, Bill Watson, Glenn Britza and his former passenger Barry Kennington (his team mate at Clarendon SA 1965 National Titles where Stan was crowned 500cc and Unlimited champion). A letter from Murray Williams was read out outlining the relationship that he and Stan had enjoyed over the years. I was asked by his wife Pam to take the role of MC and I was honoured to have done so. Stan was a fine gentleman and accomplished rider and it was a pleasure to have known him.
 
Rest in Peace my friend
