BRANSGROVE, Stanley G. -- In Greenbrae on September 8th at 81 years of age. A native of Melbourne, Australia, he lived in the Bay Area since 1947. He is survived by wife Wanda 'Diane'; children Stanley, James, Sandy, Janie, Paul; ten grandchildren; and four great grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by his loving extended family, Louise (Nanny) Birdwell, Jeanne Sanchez, Mildred Farrar, James Farrar and Stephen Farrar. Stan worked as a precision machinist in Australia and the Bay Area and was a member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace workers for fifty years. He was a professional bicycle racer in his native Australia, and rode for the Malvern Star team. Among his many notable victories were back-to-back wins in the Quale 65, the Victorian Long Distance Road Championship and the Melbourne Cup on Wheels. Upon moving to the United States he took part in many six-day races (winning the first he entered) and maintained a life long interest in cycling and actively assisted cyclists young and old with advice and emergency repairs. Stan was a Freemason and was raised a Master Mason on June 27, 1945 in Greensborough Lodge No. 374. He was involved in the Cub Scouts and as a booster for the Tamalpais High School Sports program and Music Department. A memorial service celebrating his life will be held at the Mill Valley Masonic Center, 19 Corte Madera Ave., Mill Valley, CA, on Wednesday, September 26 at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society, Parkinson's Disease Foundation, or Trips for Kids.
