Stanley Evan Harms was born February 5, 1948, to Victor and Lenora (Jantz) Harms, in Newton, Kansas.  He grew up on a farm in Kansas and was a 1966 graduate of Goessel High School.

After moving to Pella, Stan owned and operated Stan's Drywall since 1969. Stan loved Pella and was an avid Pella Dutch sports fan. He loved John Deere tractors, old cars, antiques, and tinkering on things. His friends were everything to him! He loved meeting up with friends  for breakfast. He was a "regular" at In't Velds and was friends with the entire crew. He also loved Ford trucks and had four of them. His favorite Christmas tradition was peppernuts and vanilla ice cream. Stan was a member of the Third Church in Pella.
