~ Eulogy to Pepere Stan from Maddie ~



I first want to extend my gratitude to the

Attendees who came to honor this

amazing man, Stanley Brown whom we

have all come to Love and Cherish.

Some of you know him as a friend or mentor

and as a husband. I have been privileged

to know him as my grandfather, or better

known as “Pepere” Stan.

Although he is not my biological grand-

parent, he took the role on so selflessly.

He is the only grandfather I have ever known.

He was a very smart man and he did all he

could for me and for that, I will always admire

him and I can only hope that one day I can

accomplish at least half of what he has in

his lifetime. As I stand here today, I want to

reflect on some of my fondest memories of

My Pepere….



I had a loose tooth that needed to be pulled.

Pepere got the plyers and sat in a chair. He

called out to me and said he was ready to

pull it. I got on my hands and knees and ran

around the chair shouting “No, No”.. of course

he wasn’t going to pull out my tooth but it was

fun to play along with him like this.

He would always ask me how I was and I would

Reply “Good”..! Then he’d say: “Good for what”?



Pepere we are going to miss you. You will always

Be in our hearts. I wish my little girl could have met

You.



I love you always and forever,

Your granddaughter Madison
