Rick Stanley's Completed Life
Dear Colleagues, Those of you who are related to “second generation” OE members likely already have learned the sad news about Rick Stanley’s passing on May 22nd. His Mom, our dear colleague Anna, had just arrived at our home in Wells for a visit when she received the news. Rick experienced a heart attack while at his workplace in North Carolina a few days earlier, and the family sent his sister, Denise, to immediately travel from Maine to be at his side. Please hold his Rick’s parents, Anna and Dick Stanley, in your thoughts and prayers as they drive to North Carolina early next week; and also give thanks for the unconditional love Denise Stanley has consistently showered on her brother (and so many others.) As Joe Crocker would say, “The Mystery gives, the Mystery takes away. Blessed be the Mystery in our lives.” Grace, peace and love, Marilyn Crocker
Oh, no. Thank you for letting us know, Marilyn. Rick was on the 6th Grade Trip with Wayne and I and 33 other kids in 1974. After a week-long backpacking trip followed by the overnight solitary vigil in the Boundary Waters Rick said, “I left as a mouse and came back a lion.” Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ From: Dialogue <dialogue-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net> on behalf of Mari Crocker via Dialogue <dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2019 6:07:58 PM To: Order Ecumenical Community; Colleague Dialogue Cc: Mari Crocker Subject: [Dialogue] Rick Stanley's Completed Life Dear Colleagues, Those of you who are related to “second generation” OE members likely already have learned the sad news about Rick Stanley’s passing on May 22nd.

Holding this family in our care as we try to get in touch with them. We are in North Carolina. Sorry we didn't know he was near us. Anna was with us in Canberra, Australia ,thirty years ago. Rick and Denise, that I knew from my Phase I days, were deployed elsewhere. I have a call into Anna, but do not have a number or contact info for Denise. Please share if you have info. With care and sympathy in another passing of our 2nd generation, Lynda and John Cock On 5/25/19, 6:08 PM, "Dialogue on behalf of Mari Crocker via Dialogue" <dialogue-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net on behalf of dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: Dear Colleagues, Those of you who are related to “second generation” OE members likely already have learned the sad news about Rick Stanley’s passing on May 22nd.
