Mayo Clinic for forty years, retiring in 1994. Stanley was a member of Faith
United Methodist Church in Eyota and had been a longtime member of the Elks

(Gary) Johnson of St. Paul, Trina Urban of Stewartville and Jay (Dawn) Mahon of

parents; brother, David Antonson; daughter, Wanda Harvey; son-in-law, David
Harvey; and infant granddaughter, Zara Harvey. A special thank you to the staff
at Cottagewood for the excellent care they provided Stanley, and to the Mayo

Grandview Memorial Gardens in Rochester. Memorials are preferred to the
