Stan was born in Mexico on Feb. 14, 1947. His parents were Eugene George Lauer and Theoda Charlotte (Elderinghoff) Lauer-Pohlman. On Oct 30, 1971, in Mexico, he married Sallee Anne Levingston. Mrs. Lauer survives at the home.

Stan "Stan the Man" was a Barber at White Front Barber Shop for 52 years. He enjoyed every moment he was able to spend working there. Cutting hair and talking to people were the things he enjoyed most about the little shop on the corner of Love and Clark. One thing his family is grateful for is that they were "gifted" 9 bonus years of life with Stan thanks to a Heart Donor on April 1, 2011.

In addition to his wife, Sallee, survivors include two sons, Micah Eugene Lauer and wife, Elizabeth, Mexico, and Joshua David Lauer and wife, Cassie, Mexico; one brother, Richard Leo Lauer, Hermann; three sisters, Patricia Ann Lauer Heldt and husband, Ray, Hermann, Cynthia Josephine Pohlman Hoffman and husband, Scott, Washington, Mo., and Denise Marie Pohlman Merino and husband, Dan, San Diego, Calif.; five grandchildren, Jacob Eugene Lauer, Katherine Marie Lauer, Frances Grace Lauer, Miriam Lynn Lauer, and Elijah David Lauer; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, mother, and stepfather (Cletus Anthony Pohlman); two brothers, Eric Anthony Pohlman, and infant Harold Wayne Lauer.
