Stanley Jay Schrum was born March 10, 1945, at Grand Island, Nebraska, to Elroy and Darlene (Boeck) Schrum. Stan grew up in Manning, Iowa, and graduated Manning High School with the class of 1963. He served four years in the United States Navy. Following his honorable discharge, Stan settled in Cleveland, Ohio. After obtaining his stationary engineering license, he worked 30 years in the steel industry. Through the years he loved being outdoors to hunt, fish and camp with friends.
In 2007 Stan returned to Manning and began treatments for malignant brain cancer. He never lost his quirky sense of humor or his courage in fighting the disease.
After resettling in his old hometown, Stan had time to enjoy many big family gatherings and celebrations. He especially enjoyed fishing trips and hunting with his brothers.
