He was born October 22, 1941 in Leopold, Missouri, son of Elmer and Adeline Elfrink Clippard. He and Evelyn Beussink were married on May 29, 1965.

He was a parishioner of Immaculate Conception Church and was a Fourth Degree member of the Knights of Columbus, Bishop Timon Council. Stanley was a member of the Missouri National Guard. He was employed with Overhead Door Company in Jackson and then retired after a 45-year career with Dutch Enterprises. Known for tackling every project with expertise and efficiency, Stanley lead with action. He volunteered countless hours to assist with tasks at the church including driving the parish bus, renovating properties around the parish and Camp-Re-New-All. He was an active volunteer with various Knights of Columbus activities. Stanley loved spending time at his family farm and Ten Point Hunting Club. He could often be found hunting and gardening. He particularly enjoyed fishing with his grandchildren and Cousin Ed Arnzen. He was a man of enduring faith, reminding his children and grandchildren the importance of attending Mass. His greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He passed on his love of the outdoors to each of them.

Ever the voice of reason and good advice, quick to laugh and joke with his family and friends, his presence will be missed.
