That's unfortunate to hear. He's certainly left a legacy, though.

Thank you Mr. Stanley Weston for influencing generations of young boys, who grew up, to serve or be appreciative of our public servants, in both the armed forces & civil service. We salute you sir, may God keep you & bless you & your family.
Now Hasbro, we need a new character, with a file name of Stanley Weston; from Brooklyn NY. |

It is with great sorrow, that I find out another Legend of my time has passed away. It is with the most sincere condolences go out to the family of Stanly Weston for their loss. Many a great battles have raged in my bedroom as a child. Wars between my Star Wars figures and GI Joe thst would go on for weeks on end. (Or till mom told me to clean up) And even though blankets made into mountains and converted Styrofoam boxes have given way to shelving on a wall for displaying. 30+ years later, I continue to enjoy thst which Mr Weston brought into my life. So it's with a sad heart that I thank you Mr. Weston.
With a mighty YO JOE!!! and HAIL COBRA!!!! A solute to you, as you go off on your new adventure. God bless you. |
