to Janette Dishong
I worked with Stan, he was my helper in the Tile trade when he lived in Vallejo. At that time he was collecting old bikes and working on them and tooling parts for them. If you want to get ahold of us please use the above e-mail address

Jeanette,
I knew both Stan and Jackie very well. My condolences to you and your family. I remember when he had the name of the street changed from Rice to Dishong. There were many Friday nights we would have a few beers at some of Vallejo’s fine drinking establishments and later take a ride over to their place for some more fun. I enjoyed his many firearms also. I used to do some welding for him over the years also. Were you speaking to his black El Camino?
The world will not be quite the same, Stan was a remarkable machinest, always wearing his blue coveralls and always a rag in his pocket, great Harley builder and racer.
Best Regards,
Jack Rutter

I am really sorry to hear about Stan’s death. When I was just starting out with old bikes in the early 80′s it was Stan that took the time to help me restore my first bike. Later he hooked me up with one of his old friends knucklehead that had been in storage in Oregon. His name was Ed Silva. If you need to contact me on anything about the shop in the 80′s let me know.

I’m sorry to hear about your Dad, I really enjoyed talking with him when I visited the museum in 2004, and had been looking forward to visiting again when I rode through Port Orford this Memorial Day weekend. I remember reading about his exploits in Hot Rod Magazine when I was in High School, and found he was even more fascinating in person. He will be missed.
