I was new to City when I first met Stan on the steps of the Myddelton Street building in the cold strikes of 2018. We were all freezing during those snowy strikes but Stan always had a smile and a joke for everyone and was the best at bringing everyone together and feeling a part of something. During these times Stan would talk to me about his children and how proud he was of them (especially that they were boycotting their own lectures during the strikes!!). Stan was one of the people that made me feel welcome at City when it all felt so new and daunting. We continued to strike together over the next few years and I joined Stan as a UCU rep in SHS - he, of course, always did more work than me around this role and knew far more than me about Union issues. He was relentless in his pursuit of trying to make good working conditions for staff and he personally helped me when I was going through a tough time in my job last year.
Stan, I can't really believe you are gone and I will miss you immensley. I hope you have gone to a beautiful place. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss and I cannot begin to fathom what you must be going through. Sending you my love and thoughts. Jessie xxxx
