Randall J. Stanley, 62, of Humbird died Monday Feb. 16, 2009, at home after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Randall may have lost his battle with cancer but was a winner in life.

Randall was born Sept. 11, 1946, as an only child to Willard and Oviedga Stanley. Randall is survived by his beloved wife, Rebecca, to whom he was married to for more than 40 years. Randall and Rebecca have two children, Jack and Chad Stanley. Jack is the father of two wonderful grandchildren, Elizabeth and Taylor Stanley. Chad and his wife, Randi, are the parents of two more wonderful grandchildren, Macaid and Sada Stanley.

Randall was a wonderful person, who was loved dearly by his family and in return loved them just as much. Randall enjoyed many things throughout his life.

Randall worked in education for 33 years. He taught one year at Neillsville Elementary and finished his career working for the Alma Center-Humbird-Merrillan School District, where he started out as an elementary teacher. While teaching, Randall attended the University of Wisconsin-Superior part-time, until he earned his Master’s Degree in educational leadership. Soon after earning his Master’ Degree, Randall became AC-H-M School District’s Elementary principal and eventually served the district as its superintendent of schools for 16 years.

Randall and Becky have been the proud owners of Stanley’s Strawberries for over 40 years.
