I concur Suh- in spades (doubled and redoubled, if I can quote the late Nash Buckingham-- In April 2019 Stan and I concluded a gun transaction-  He purchased a 3E 12 gauge Smith I owned-and of all the gun transactions Interstate I have been involved with in the past 25 years- this was the absolute finest -- we chatted on the phone afterwards, he was most gracious to invite Mae and I to stop in and visit with him and accept his invite to hunt with him and his son back then. 
 I hope and pray for Stan's overcoming this scenario. My closest friends here in MI are farmers: honest, hard working, no false pretenses- and Stan and his son, going back to Stan's Grandpa, were and are "men of the soil"-- those who wrestle a living from their land, facing Mother Nature every day--
 
 Know that Mae and I are praying for Stan and all his family. I am positive that he and Jean will come through this situation, and that soon Stan will be out after those "coo-coo mourners" with a favorite .410 bore doublegun in hand". RWTF

So saddened to read this about Stan. Such a great guy. I got on here hoping to read his opening day dove shoot report and found this instead. I pray he recovers quickly. Thank God he was spotted by someone. Thanks for the updates,
 Adam

Stan was one of the reasons I joined this board many years ago.His advice and willingness to share his knowledge freely with others are just a couple of his qualities that make him a true gentleman.
 I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

A bit of news from Stan's son David:
 progress is still up & down, but hopeful.  He has developed an infection from the lake water & is on antibiotics to kill it.  He also has developed pneumonia.  His fever spiked around 104 last night, but has been down around 100 most all day today, and they have a cooling blanket on him. They weren't able to get him off the ventilator today, but settings are even lower now and he is spontaneously breathing a lot in his own.

That's good news.   Hopefully he is headed out of the woods now.
