Stanley Walling, "always there' for others
Stanley Walling operated his own tire businesses in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati for many years.
Although he was a friendly, fair and honest businessman, his wife of 20 years, Janis Walling, recalls him more for his courage and strength of character.
"He was a big man with a kind, gentle heart and a soft voice," Mrs. Walling said.
"He has been ill, but he never complained. He never stopped working."
Mr. Walling, 55, of Lakeside Park, died at 2:25 p.m. Monday at St. Elizabeth Medical Center South in Edgewood.
He was the owner of Walling Truck Tire Inc. in Cincinnati, and a member of Summit Hills Country Club in Crestview Hills.
Mr. Walling had suffered from various illnesses recently, including problems with his hips, his wife said.
Still, he managed to cheer their children and friends, she said.
"He had a smile on his face and was always there for everyone else. He was a wonderful husband, a great dad and a friend to many people," Mrs. Walling said.
Mr. Walling was born in Campbell County and graduated from Campbell County High School, where he was a lineman on the football team. He started his businesses and fought his illnesses with the same determination that he used to become an excellent football player, his wife said.
"He was very resilient. He never gave up and lived life to the fullest," Mrs. Walling said.
