TITLE: The Life of Stanley Gordon Pearson

Stanley was born and raised in Pincher Creek AB.  He grew up in a good home and was very loved by his parents.  When he went to University he studied Geology and got to travel the world!  One of the places that he fondly talks about is The Galapagos Islands.  He loved doing his work there, studying all the rocks.  He had to participate in WW2.  He meet his bride Helen Pearson just before the war and she had to wait until he returned to marry her.  He lost both his brothers in the war and he explained how this effected him really bad.
After the war he had 4 kids.  3 girls and 1 boy.  He named his son Donald after his brother that he lost in the war.  When the kids were older he moved his family to Europe for 5 years where he worked for Gulf Oil as their president.  He even had servants there!
When he moved back to Canada he bought the farm in Cremona.  He loved working with the cows and horses.

This is the story of my great grandpa.  I got to meet him and see him in the old folks home.
I miss his stories and I miss seeing him.
