Legacy
After announcing his resignation as dean in January 1969,[3] he continued to teach in the college until he retired in 1976.[27] The college founded the D.K.

Stanley died in Gainesville on May 29, 1983; he was 77 years old.[27] He was survived by his wife, June Cowperthwaite Stanley, two children and three stepchildren.[27]
