Stanley Steven Schafer, age 77, Cozad, formerly Lincoln, passed away peacefully in the early dawn of July 19, 2024. He was born November 1, 1946 in Lincoln, Nebraska to Donald W. and Marie (Klein) Schafer and baptized in the Christian faith.  He graduated from Lincoln High School with his class of 1964.  Linda was a classmate of his and with Bill and Susie’s help they reconnected and were married June 30, 1973 at Calvary U.M.C. in Lincoln.

Stan began his working years as a delivery driver for Petersen Typographers where he advanced to become a typesetter for them.  He also held positions at Lincoln Public Schools, Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital, Performance Toyota and Lincoln Journal-Star.

Stan’s community involvement included 60+ year member Calvary U.M.C., Board Member WSI Hall, Lincoln Typographical Union #209, Boy Scouts of America, P.T.A. Group at Everett Jr. High, L.H.S. Class of 1964 Reunion Committee, and campground host for Nebraska Game and Parks.

Stan especially enjoyed camping, fishing, holiday events and time spent with good friends and family.  In recent years, he loved shopping for “treasures” at thrift stores and garage sales.  Stanley was a friend to all he met, always willing to help with any task.  He truly was one of the good guys and will be missed.
