He was born on December 16th 1933 in Burlington, Vt., he was the son of Frank and Cecile Mary (Vasseur) Barnes.
Stanley graduated from Burlington High School.
He worked for a Champion Cable before Operating his own Taxi Service known as 'Anywhere Cab'.
Arrangements by the Elmwood- Meunier Funeral Home on 97 Elmwood Avenue in Burlington, Vt.
Later interment will be at the New Mount Calvary Cemetery on Plattsburg Avenue in Burlington, Vt.
Stanley Barnes has been driving a Vermont cab for more than half of his 80 years — 49, to be exact. More than one other cabbie referred to him as an authority on Burlington's taxi business. He's BTV's gravel-voiced, and he remembers when the fare from Burlington to Essex Junction was just 85 cents.
Barnes is somewhat unusual, though, in that he drives on a contract basis. He used to own his own cab, but at the moment he drives for J.J. Transit, a small outfit affiliated with Everywhere Taxi of Vermont. He achieves a certain degree of independence by leasing his cab from J.J. and sticking to the airport run, which permits him enough free time to "play the horses" and visit casinos. (He once took a fare all the way to Washington, D.C., but calls the trip a bust because he lost much of his earnings in Atlantic City on the drive back.)
Barnes currently maintains a regular, nine-to-five workday, and he likes it that way.
