Stanley Earl Gibbard, son of George and Vivian Gibbard, passed away Monday evening, March 22, 2010, in the comfort of his home. Surrounded by all his family Stanley embarked on his journey leaving behind his struggle with cancer. Stan was born Dec. 28, 1927, in his family’s Pleasant Valley farmhouse located in Antrim County, Mich. Stanley served with pride in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper in 182nd Airborne from 1945 to 1949. Returning to Antrim County Stan soon married Jackie Rogers and applied for recruit training in the Michigan State Police. Stan flourished in his career as a State Trooper while he and Jackie raised five kids — Bruce, Deb, Don, Dave and Gary. Longing to settle in their transient “trooper life” Stan and Jackie chose Clinton as their home and remained here from 1963 to present. Stan contributed countless hours of service in the Clinton Rotary and United Methodist Church while establishing himself as a compassionate law enforcer at the local State Police post. After 25 years of service protecting Lenawee and environs Stan became a realtor encountering all who might be interested in settling in his community. Stan had an innate understanding of people and how to communicate. Stan’s legendary antics amongst his friends here remain as touchstones for many a fond memory. He was loved in his community and returned that sentiment to all whom he met in his many adventures outside of Clinton. He will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Jackie; brother, Joe; sons, Bruce, Don, Dave and Gary; his daughter, Deb; daughters-in-law, Andrea, Peg and Janis; son-in-law, Jack; grandkids, Tressa, Anna, Kyle and Ellis. He will be sorely missed by his community who embraced Stan throughout his years. God bless “Stan the Man.”  A memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, March 26, at the Clinton United Methodist Church, 10990 Tecumseh-Clinton Road Clinton. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Arbor Hospice, 40500 Ann Arbor Road, Ste 102, Plymouth, MI 48170 or “Friends of the Jordan,” P.O. Box 412, East Jordan, MI 49727. |
