Stan is survived by his wife, Lindy (Helen) Carda of Essig, a daughter Amy Carda and her husband Scott Smith of Red Wing; a sister Dorothy Balo of Greybull, Wyoming; brothers and sisters-in-law, Danny and Darlene Carda of Elkhorn, Nebraska and Laddie and Jeanette Carda of New Ulm; by a brother-in-law, Frank Strudl of Omaha, Nebraska; by many nieces, nephews, Lindy's family who loved Stan so very much, and by many special friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Frank and Lucy Kramer; a sister Rose Strudl, a sister-in-law, Betty Carda; and by a brother-in-law, Eric Balo. Stanley John Carda, the son of Henry and Mary (Schuch) Carda, was born on November 11, 1933 in Tyndall, South Dakota. On January 16, 1965 he was united in marriage to Lindy Kramer at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in New Ulm. Stan was employed by New Ulm Manufacturing and RayGo Manufacturing for 27 years. He was a skilled craftsman with a mechanical mind and in 1981 he started his own welding & machining business called "The Shop" in Essig. Music was medicine for Stan. He was an accordionist with many groups and in 1974 he started his own musical combo. Stan died as he lived, on his own terms and surrounded by his family. The last few weeks of Stan's life were very difficult, as pancreatic cancer took over his body and mind. We knew when the end was near, so we were given the chance, during his final weeks, to re-assure each other that this good-bye was simply about separation. Stan was a generous man. To his family he was larger than life. A king in his castle. Hard-working, big hearted, quick witted, his appetite for life was expressed in his love of music, good food and hearty laughter. For all who knew and loved him, Stan Carda will be remembered and respected as a man of strength, courage, integrity, kindness and passion. His life is celebrated each day in the hearts of all who knew him.
