Morefield, Stanley Ingles

Stan and his long-time companion, his dog, Wendy, were both fatally injured in a vehicle accident on Route 8 in Floyd County on May 17th.
Stan loved nature. He was happiest with his son deep-sea fishing, camping at North River with friends of 45 years, canoeing and planting his garden at his home along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County. He enjoyed sharing his “knowledge of nature” with others and was a Cub and Boy Scout Master in Fairfax and Hiwassee for several years.
